A fair few there, but a weaker Green Man than usual? Seems to be the way with the generally underwhelming 2019 announcements.

Love the Strokes lineup for All Points East in late May. Returning to New York to play a festival there the week after but they return to Europe in mid-July so an Irish date is likely. EP please.

I'd love to see Whitney back. They were great the last time.

Ricosruffneck

Thursday is going to be the big one.

End of the road fest announces!

Should share at least one headliner and some undercard.

Light Upon the Lake is a really good album. Enjoyed them too when they played.

Four Tet please!

50 names being announced for Lowlands tomorrow.

Looking forward to see who they announce. I would say we could share a headliner with them, looking at their last few lineups we got:
2018 - Kendrick, Dua Lipa, NERD, Chic
2017 - The XX, London Grammar, Elbow, Mura Masa, Vince Staples
2016 - LCD Soundsystem, Noel Gallagher, Jack Garrett
2015 - Underworld, Tame Impala, Hot Chip, Interpol

Hadn't realised the crossover was so significant. Here's hoping for Tame Impala and The Strokes tomorrow.

Some possible crossover, if not for main stage then plenty of cheese for Electric Ireland.

Main stage: James, The Coral

Electric Ireland : Gabrielle, Fun Lovin Criminals.

Rankins Woods : Basement Jaxx

I don't think the fun lovin criminals should be relegated to electric Ireland! I think they'd be a cracking pre 6pm electric arena act. They could probably pull a decent crowd much later also


Some rumours on the Facebook banter page suggesting body and soul are pulling out?

Ricosruffneck

Ladies and Gentlemen; september is starting to shape up nicely.

except Twenty One Pilots; they can do one.

Holy shît The Chats are touring! :pac:

Rfrip

jees would be delighted with some of those
tame impala, paul kalkbrenner and jon hopkins, jungle, anderson paak
Stumbled across mall grab actually last year and he/they were great

That is a good lineup which is encouraging! But we can rule out The National, New Order, Jon Hopkins & Paul Kalkbrennar as they are playing other festivals in Ireland this summer. We can also rule out The Prodigy, Jorja Smith, Jungle, Mall Grab & Denis Sulta as they all played EP 2018.

Hoping that pretty much confirms Tame Impala as one headliner, would like to see The Good, The Bad & The Queen, The Streets, Parcels, and some of the DJs like Honey Dijon, Hunee & Antal all added. I'd say based on festival announcements now you could have a good stab at who EP might get!

And who the f**k are Twenty One Pilots?? Headlining Lowlands and Reading/Leeds and honestly never heard of them before.

Sleeper. Jesus. Wonder what Louise looks like now. If the Wonder Stuff could get the band back together, I'd LOVE them on the bill.

Doesn't this happen every year? Could be true but could B&S really afford to give up such an earner?

Again an underwhelming lineup for me. Though Tame Impala, Anderson.Paak, Good Bad & Queen, Streets & Giorgo Moroder would be exceptional.

The Wonder Stuff are back and playing gigs think they brought out an album a couple of years ago. Would love to see them added to EP.

I saw them in the Academy a couple of years ago. Great night.

Can rule out Vampire Weekend for this anyway - they just announced an extensive North American tour that has dates in Virginia on August 30 and Boston on Sept 3.

Tour is solid booked throughout August, September and October so they won't be jetting off to Europe for a gig in the middle of it!

Beth Gibbons has announced a new album, its not clear if its a Portishead collaboration or a solo record with Polish conductor Penderecki collaborating.

Ticket for foals at trinity bought, would have preferred them at EP rather than a Tuesday in trinity but not to be. Showing my age here but sisters of mercy touring gladly have them as a legacy act at EP.
