Given it's Glasto 50 I wonder will we see one or two "legends" type acts at EP next year.

The Who did a one off massive show with orchestra at Wembley in July. Pete Townshend said they'll be touring that same show next summer.

Not sure that would suit EP, I'd love to see it but really don't think it's a festival type of setup.

Could see McCartney headlining Glastonbury

Not in Kansas

I really like the Supergrass suggestion... while Blur were beating Oasis these guys were just plugging away completely underrated!!

And wife swapping with Jude Law...

He may do the Sun afternoon set, as big now as a headline slot. Fleetwood Mac will be the biggie, Coldplay again & The 1975 other possibilities.

Lizzo?

My (kind of) realistic wishlist for 20

Therapy?
My Bloody Valentine
The Undertones
Depeche mode
Lemaitre
Fontaines DC
The Black keys
Doves
The Specials
Supergrass
David Gray


My (haha) not a hope wishlist
McCartney
Stone Roses
Pearl jam
Daft punk
Smashing pumpkins

Macca , fleetwood mac and pearl jam would be savage

Not in Kansas

Missy Elliott is going to be on the move in 2020 apparently. That would be amazing but a long shot I think.

Just as an aside, if there are any Cathy Davey fans out there who, like me, missed her the last 2 years in Stradbally because of her late Sunday night billing, she's playing October 26th in St. David's church Naas. Lovely, intimate setting.

Of EP? I didn't realise that. I could have sworn she featured in somebody's review.

She didn't, her set was great as usual at the Salty Dog just after midnight.

Yeah I caught a few of her songs. Usually she doesn't do anything for me, but even so I think her set suffered from the crowd looking for later drink at the SD bar, which was thronged. They were just throwing out cans at that stage....

Mollyb60

Yeah she did a great set at SD even though she appeared to be sick. She cancelled a talk with Neil Hannon (not tennent doh!) in Mindfield earlier in the day I think which is maybe what caused the confusion.

Was emailing them yesterday because they made the mistake with my loyalty code.

I have the disappointment.

Sorry to harp on about this, but I got a reply to my query today which makes me angry. It's as though Ticketmaster are really revelling in the fact that it sold out and that not all the loyalty purchasers got their tickets:

Fan Support wrote:

Tickets for Electric Picnic 2020 went on sale at 9am and have been snapped up in less than an hour, taking organisers by surprise.

Such is the demand for tickets that all Early Bird, Loyalty Tickets, Family Camping, Family Campervan and Campervan tickets have already SOLD OUT.

Picnickers snapped up the early bird tickets within one hour of going on sale this morning, yet again demonstrating the unwavering popularity of Ireland’s favourite music and arts festival – Electric Picnic.

‘Fans of Electric Picnic are a very loyal bunch and with it being a sold out festival this year, fans were even more eager than usual to snap up tickets. Ticket sales were due to end on 29th September but sold out before the deadline, as the Picnic continues to grow, so too does the number of loyal Picnickers that want to come back year after year.’ Melvin Benn, Festival Director
For fans of the festival who missed out on tickets today as they will have the opportunity to purchase tickets when they go back on sale, date yet tbc.

Electric Picnic is a STRICTLY OVER 18’s event, with the exception of children aged 12 and under who must be accompanied at all times by an adult. For more information on our age policy, check out our website.

I hereby nominate Poorside as EP booker for 2020. Any seconds?

Headlining makes sense but Emily Eavis dropped a hint about him doing the big legends slot. Unlikely they'd have both Fleetwood Mac and McCartney as headliners, just skews the festival far much to heritage stuff.

That afternoon slot often gets bigger crowds than any of the headliners. Dolly Parton there in 2014 was the biggest crowd I've ever seen at the Pyramid Stage in over thirty years of going there.

Ok, so today it’s all a bit ‘this time last week I was blah blah’ (insert whatever eye of the hurricane I was caught up in at 15:53 last Sunday here) but the Santa wish lists are making me fluttery for next year. With that in mind...I’ve been an awfully good boy in the main and as highly unlikely any of these acts are to grace EP, I would like to see (and any single one would do)

Heavy Trash (failing a Jon Spencer Blues Explosion reboot)
Wilco
Mariachi El Bronx
Melvins
James Leg
Barrance Whitfield and the Savages
Iggy Pop
Meatbodies
Ty Segall (in whatever manifestation)
Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs
Todd Rundgren


But with a bit of sorcery...perhaps
Fugazi & My Bloody Valentine

Let a boy dream...

Ha ha. Yeah, that jarred with the rest though I'd have him ahead of much of what we've had in the last three years.

My apllication:

LCD Soundsystem
Wilco
My Bloody Valentine
The Human League
Fontaines DC
Snapped Ankles
The Selecter
The Murder Capital
Leftfield
Aphex Twin
SLF
The Walker Roaders
Supergrass
The Kinks
Kokoko
Edwyn Collins
Young Fathers
Kila
Seamus Fogarty
Green on Red
Tamino
Slyrydes
.... and a few dozen more.

And since teen pop is guaranteed how about Camilla Cabello & Lorde?

What about a Boardsie buyout of EP?

Fair point , tbh the only way they will get Fleetwood Mac is if they reduce their asking price, Pretty sure Micheal Eavis has said the only reason they havent been booked for Glasto is because if their price.

If they got McCartney as the legends slot that would be huge , Yea i agree that slot usually gets massive crowds. Plus it will be a such a small set for Paul (since he usually does 2/2.5hr sets, well he did that last time at the RDS) because of his back catalog.

Although with it being the 50th anniversary they might want to go with the biggest headliners they can go with , E.g. Fleetwod and McCartney
