Disappointed Tame Impala aren't on, hopefully they'll be announced later on. Meh lineup overall, but sure it'll still be fun

Really surprised at that

The Voidz will be added at a later point i imagine.

Amazing undercard

totally agree .. James Blake, The Streets, Echo, Christine & Queens, Four Tet, Michael Kiwanuka, Parquet Courts .. thats me pretty much sorted right there.

LowOdour

To be fair, if all I get to see are all of these, then I will class it as a great weekend

The Strokes
The Streets
Courtney Barnett
Mitski
Parquet Courts
Bodega -
Lets Eat Grandma

The Strokes have saved the headline acts imo, hopefully they get the Fri or Sat night slot

Eod100

That's a pretty decent line up. Besides headliners Christine And The Queens, Four Tet, James Blake, Roisin Murphy, The Streets, Years and Years, Courtney Barnett all decent.

Furious-Red

Awh was kinda hoping the Strokes would do their own show or Kaleidoscope

BadTurtle

Average enough really. Florence, 1975 and Hozier are very unimaginative bookings, all headlined Irish festivals recently. Undercard isn’t bad - The Streets, Jarvis, Billie Eilish are decent bookings but again, outside of that there are some extremely familiar faces. Was expecting more imagination really.

maximoose

No word on Kaleidoscope yet?

Rfrip

gutted about tame impala and robyn of course, and theres no way they will be in the second announcement

However lots there to keep me going so far before ive investigated the others and recommendations from the nice similar minded posters here

Four tet, James blake, roisin murphy, kolsch

gauralordon

Hozier
The 1975
Christine and the Queens
The Streets
Years and Years
Kolsch
Metronomy
Sam Fender
Mitski
Echo & The Bunnymen

Busy weekend ahead already

Why would they not be in the second announcement? I was really praying for that!

Worst case scenario for headliners

Tame Impala & Chemical Brothers possibly added later so the top tier may look much better.

Happy enough with those headliners. First time in quite a while that I'd happily go along to see all of the headliners. Woudl've been cool to have Childish Gambino on there but sure hey, I'll have more than enough to keep me busy for the weekend with those acts.

showpony1

Probably more I'd like to see on the initial line-up than last year - but last year had a must see for me in Kendrick, only really 1975 would be that for me there.

I imagine much of the Strokes excitement is only around knowing Last Nite & Reptilia not sure I'd enjoy a 90 min set by them
unless i get stuck into their back catalogue & love it.

Florence, Hozier, 1975, Years & Years, Jarvis Cocker, Roisin Murphy I've seen at EP before.

Still can't wait for it!

scruff monkey

Christine&Queens, Jarvis Cocker, Roisin Murphy, Streets, Courtney Barnett, Echo, Michael Kiwanuka

That'll do pig (for a start).

PabloAndRoy

Ricosruffneck

My playthrough so far

Heads: Strokes, Hozier

2nd Heads: Billie Ellish, Chris & Queens, James Blake, Jarv IS, The Streets

Rest: Courtney Barnett, Metronomy, Michael Kiwannuka, Mitski, MO, Serpentwithfeet, Yves Tumor

I have to listen to the rest and decide.

It's really great, and I could care less about Florence and 1975 and perhaps Hozier, they'll leave the Electric arena nice and quiet for me while they're on main stage.

scruff monkey

I cannot read Billie Ellish without seeing Billy the fish.

Effects

A few nice acts there. No interest in headliners at all.
Might see how it plays out and go down for one of the days and hope to catch a few of the acts that interest me.

would have thought they were too big? i think i just cant cope with waiting for the next announcement for them tbh!!!

Toobz

Holding out hope that kaleidoscope has tame impala because f*ck those headliners.

Stillill42

Lots to keep us happy. The Strokes will be great, I'll be up the front for that. Delighted Jarvis will be there, ditto Echo and the Bunnymen. Very happy, really.

Haha yeah me neither. There was the prodigy last year as an addition, so one can hope!

Construction will shortly get underway to create a whole new town within the festival's mind-blowing creative acreage, located on the pastureland formerly occupied by the Oscar Wilde Campsite. Anchored by Terminus, a brand new 8,000 capacity mega-stage for electronica and dance (presented as an Eastern Bloc architectural colossus), Freetown will rise from the ground for just 4 days of the year.

Copied from Electric Picnic website. Some major map and layout changes coming!

So the Oscar Wilde campsite is been replaced by an extension of the main Arena. Over 30 acres of stages, food stalls, bars alley way etc.

scruff monkey

Not into dj/electronica but that sounds class and could solve a lot of the sound bleed ****e afflicting certain tents
