    Kid in school had a blackout today. Booked my holiday yesterday. On the coast. Youngest son had a temperature last night. A fever, you might say. Haven't seen anything rolling yet but the stars are aligning.

    Am I so out of touch I can't decipher any of these clues?

    I guess so

    Is that it, your just hoping for the rolling blackouts? You didn't give away any of the headlines.

    Feck no. If anyone interpreted those ramblings as veiled references to prospective headliners or inside knowledge of any description, I can only apologise.

    Said this last week...
    I could see a lot of people on this list being there. Have heard 3 or 4 people say Wilco, Mitski, Courtney Barnett and Deerhunter actually.

    The 1975, Tame Impala and maybe Florence and the Machine or Robyn to headline I reckon, though I feel like that is missing a heritage act. Decent sized slots for the Streets, Anderson Paak and Grace Jones too.

    I find it tough to pick out the more pop elements of the bill as I just don't keep up to speed with much of that music but throw in a few of those toward the top too and it's actually not a bad bunch, even if it wouldn't be the best EP lineup I'd ever seen.

    And no reason to see any of that changing. Would add Hozier to the list, but could be in a second announcement like Picture This/Prodigy last year.

    I'd say you could be on the money. Tame Impala and The 1975 are close to guarantees I reckon, Florence seems likely too with no Irish dates yet and a few shows in the UK in August. I thought Hozier might be added later too but he is all over the news now with his album going no.1 in the states so might be a good time to announce him. Overall they wouldn't be terrible headliners I don't think, although I would prob only go and see Tame Impala.

    What are the odds they fully pop-ify EP and make this new festival the "new" EP?

    This would be unforgivable as they have built up the eclectic audience they have, to turn it on its head could do irreparable damage.

    Tomorrow night. It's a launch rather than a listening party.
    I'm looking forward to the food. Melvin Benn is a vegetarian so always looks after the non meat eaters.

    First announcement not lived up to the hype for me in the last few years with later ones providing most of my weekend music but would love at least one headliner tomorrow I will definitely go see and some new acts to discover. Feck all work will be done tomorrow morning.
