Was at Public Service Broadcasting in the Olympia last night. Fantastic gig. Would love to see them back at EP. They have mentioned that they'll be playing festivals this year so fingers crossed!

So looking at the Townlands, R+L, and EOTR lineups. Out of them, the possible headliners for EP could be

Headliners
Tame Impala -
Twenty One Pilots
The 1975
Post Malone
New Order

I like Tame Impala and some New Order stuff, but the rest I dont know any of their stuff. Would they be more suited for the "younger" generation?
If we got The Strokes, I'd forgive it all.

I know headliners are not the be all and end all, but thought last years headliners added to a poor picnic overall for me.


Others playing those festivals
Deerhunter
Streets
Franz Ferdinand
Idles
Frank Turner
Parquet Courts
Sleaford Mods (i dont expect them as they played last year)
Let’s Eat Grandma
Anderson .Paak
Royal Blood
Whitney

If we got the first 5 or 6 on that list, i'd be pretty happy (maybe some Big Thief and Sharon Van Ettn too...save making 2 trips to Dublin to see them!)

I was at Ash, Garbage and Nile Rodgers on the main stage, rest of the time was mainly Electric Arena and elsewhere.

Kinda like it that way, stayed mostly dry.

same, i was only at main stage for ash, double gospel choir and chic i think......and my weekend was all the better for it tbh

the headliners mean nothing to me at this stage considering the caliber of the under card and all the goings on outside the main arena

Well yeah, I've been the same. That's not to say a few great headliners wouldn't be welcome. A lot to be said for being up the front on a Saturday night at a Portishead, a Blur or a Massive Attack. I'm not giving up on the main stage yet.

How was the crowd, caught them in Amsterdam but didn't realise it was an art house gig, 2 Paddy's up front whopping and hollering and the rest of the place in suits and dresses.

very true tbh!!

Lots of whooping and hollering at the gig last night. Lots of oldies too - which was a bit of a surprise - since I’d last seen them indoors at the Button Factory. And it wasn’t the case then. They seem to have a genuine affection for Irish audiences at this stage.

I've also seen very few of the headliners over the last few years, but when you get a top act it can make a huge difference (LCD and A Tribe called quest are good examples). I just thought the undercard was poor last year, so maybe I'm basing things too much on last year.

It was mixed but mostly quite old, which was quite surprising. I've never been to one of their gigs so I wasn't sure what want their fan base would be like. There was a group that was in front of me when I was for the gig to start and it was made of up of about 5 couples, mid to late fifties. I think they may have been over for the rugby, but they did seem really into it.

In many respects PSB are an ideal act for All Together Now.

And the pet shop boys, who I thought you wear referring to for a second.

Caught the wonderful Tears for Fears last night. They really do have the big tunes and would go down well with all ages at EP. The kids may not recognise the band by name but there can't be many people on this continent who don't know Shout, Mad World & Everybody Wants to Rule the World. We've had Duran, so how about TFF or A-ha?

Aha playing Dublin in October would be surprised to see them at EP. Would love to see erasure

Fatfrog

Groove Armada....

BadTurtle

Did GA do a Dj set at ATN last year? Could be a good shout for EP so.

Toobz

Didn't GA play district 8 a few weeks back?

Think we'll get any creamfields acts? Deadmau5 would be great but I wouldn't waste a headline spot on him.

MadYaker

Deadmau5 is sh!te but I wouldn't be surprised

Unless Florence announces Belfast Vital in August she'll be another of our headliners.

I think those dates probably make her more likely for ATN

Seeing them in the pissing rain on the body and soul main stage a few years ago was magnificent, but yeah ATN please

The wettest I've ever been at a gig. Speaks volumes for them that nobody seemed to mind very much.

Climbing out of the B & S bowl in that rain was one of the greatest feets of dexterity i have ever managed.

New flimsy style tickets arrived this morning. Instalment plan.

More tickets coming to 3+ by the looks of the anouncement...hopefully get another crack at a campervan one. Hint Hint, if anyone has a spare one...

You will most likely pick up a cv ticket in the last week, unlikely beforehand. People don't usually have "spares" but lots buy without any concrete plans for a vehicle and try to get some mates to pitch in for a hire cv which either turns out to be too expensive or its too late to get a hire. Happened to me a couple of years back and I picked one up on toutless about 10 days before the festival.

There were loads knocking around last year. Much more than previous years IMO. Set up alerts on adverts and done deal now and sit back and wait!
