Absolutely love to see James, brilliant live band, don't think they've ever done the picnic, class act!!!!

How great would James be on the Main Stage of an evening? 15 studio albums with hardly a bum note. Absolute legends!

Are they not playing the Academy in 8th July, I would've thought that would rule them out.

Have managed to see them live twice and brilliant both times. Would be great to see them at EP. Fingers crossed.

It’s age related I think. 30-40 Pink Moon. Over 40 Boutique Camping. Your “needs” increase as you get older. All the accommodation in BC is more luxurious than PM which is just a pre-pitched tent. Pod pads only have the dog kennels in PM but have the bell tents with camp beds in BC. I went with Silk Road last year and have rebooked for this year, proper comfort.

I love Pink Moon - this will be my 3rd year - but there was a year when I went for Festihut which was in Boutique and that site was awful as you had to plod through the teenaged great and drunken unwashed and trip over tent pegs to get to your bit of "luxury" but thankfully Festihut moved to Pink Moon area so I had a great time there last year - especially at one stage when it was pouring outside and I sat on my chair in the hut drinking my Rum and nibbling crisps and feeling dry and comfortable and clean and smug as hell!!!

Having space, lights, electricity - bliss (Nearly forgot there was such a mixed bag of ages - but less of the kidz brigade more actual adults - so neighbours/conversations - light and fun)

I've saw them at Slane 1998, Olympia twice, Belsonic 2009 and opening The Other Stage at Glastonbury 2016. Every time simply amazing, whether they are playing old stuff or new material.

Seathrun66 · 22-02-2019 7:02pm

Beatyard doing 2 for 1 tickets for those not off to ATN. €55 for a two-day ticket is a hell of a bargain if they have a line-up close to last years. But again let's hope it's not too good as EP is the only Irish weekend fest for me in 2019.

Only time I've caught James is supporting the Smiths in Galway in 1984. Great then and well overdue a second look methinks.

We discussed this while watching These Charming Men. To be honest the gig was great but not sensational. Hatful of Hollow tour and they were yet to become properly significant artists. Bad venue (Leisureland)and decent but not peerless material. Glad I saw them but wish I'd seen them again later. No idea why I didn't. Too late now.

Hatful of Hollow. Decent material. You're a man of high standards, Seathrun. No wonder modern music is such a letdown.

My stupid, teenage narrow minded, insular, clan like, punk tunnel vision meant that I viewed The Smiths as the enemy back in the day so I never attempted to see them. What a twat I was.

Banning offence I know.

Ha ha. Definitely more than decent but when MIM & TQID came up they rose up a few levels.
High standards demanded on this here thread.

Maybe Body&Soul on Tuesday, would Weezer be a sort of Body & Soul type of band? Their tour dates suggest an opening for the Summer Solstice period as they are playing Rock Werchter on 28th June in Belgium whilst in August 30th they will be in Colorado. https://weezer.com/tour

In Real Life, as in they're starting their spring tour soon

PJ Harvey would be a brilliant addition. No reason, just saying.

Agreed. She should have been on the line-up when she was touring in 2016/17

Mucker46 · 24-02-2019 2:43pm

Been listening to the new talos album far out dust on repeat the last few days. Strong album with some cracking tunes. More than happy to see him (them) back at EP this year. Body and soul main stage would be great.

Aisling(",) · 25-02-2019 10:17am

I wouldn't be suprised to see Rita Ora appear. She finishes a world tour in May and has no Irish dates.

bennyineire · 25-02-2019 10:50am

Any latest on Body and Soul ?

They are announcing their lineup tomorrow apparently. If you mean regarding them being at EP, not sure where the rumour came from or if its true but on job advertisements they had advertised during the year they had said that it includes working on the Body & Soul area of Electric Picnic so I'm presuming they will be there as normal.
