I'm expecting to see Martin Garrix on the list. Can't see him down at the TBA. I think EP is going to try and redifine itself a little this year.

Good luck everyone ...me nerves!!

Same every year...I get excited....then it’s announced and I’m underwhelmed...”it’s lacking electronic” ye will hear me say....and I always have the best weekend and buy my tickets the following Friday whilst still nursing the mother of all fears.

They know how we operate at this stage alright.

oh the excitement

Really want to see Florence but I'm guessing it will be Hozier that will be announced.

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.

Agreed.

If James are on the list I won't give a flying for the rest of it.

Of rumoured headliners I'd be happy with Florence.

Nadine O'Reagan is on Newstalk in a few mins talking about the lineup, doubt she'll have any scoops, but still...

e: well that was useless. basically the only names she gave was hoping for The 1975, Smashing Pumpkins and Foals, who are already playing here this summer.

Listening to her now doesn't sound like she has any inside scoop. But she did say the line-up is expected around 11.

Louise Duffy played some Florence in a competition thing there earlier, could be a sign (hope it's not)

Hope you get a good birthday lineup.

in advance of the first part of the line up can I respectfully suggest the following:

1. no commentary on 'crap headliners' - this is the EP world we now live in. the good stuff will be half way down the line up.
2. Just because Picture That are in the line up doesn't mean its ****e.
3. you generally only need 10 or so 'must sees' from the first release.
4. EP now caters for all ages and tastes. there will be a lot you don't agree with. suck it up.
5. Mitski.

The fallout online is the best part of the EP line-up being announced.

The TBA is being announced today as well as in Electric Picnic Family it's where I'd assume Picture this and a lot of the middle of the road Guitar bands end up.
I think there afraid of what happened Oxygen online when the Facebook mob went after them for too much electric in the electric picnic. That's where TBA comes in, an offering to the offended with chidrens.

any chance it will be broadcast and we can watch it live?

No chance. The cost to RTE or whoever to stage cameras and pay for broadcast rights of the songs would be far to much and not worth it for the small audience it would attract (the main audience would already be onsite).

EDIT: Thought you were asking about broadcasting EP, not the EP announcement

Rfrip

im here in work, trying to create an air of professionalism. Boards minimised in the corner of the PC refreshing for news!

im fooling no one !!!
