It was chaos. Beautiful wonderful circle of death chaos at around 5.30/6pm

Thundercats Ho

Daughter are touring Europe mid-late August.
I could definitely see them being added.

Some appropriate acts that have never been booked for EP. Hey bookers, how about crossing some of these off the list:

SLF
Squeeze
Lloyd Cole
Therapy?
Wire
Chuck Prophet
Buzzcocks
Freddie White
Heaven 17
Peter Hook
Teenage Fanclub
Wedding Present
David Byrne (solo)
Pixies
Arab Strap

And aren't Mercury Rev also long overdue a return?

Not much youth in that list.

Had a gleek on The Levellers' website, they are in Bristol over Glastonbury weekend so you'd think they'd be a cert for Worthy Farm. They play a festival in Devon two weeks before the Picnic. Have they played Stradbally before? I can't remember them during my time going (2011 onwards).

Saw Fionn Regan and Aoife Nessa Frances last night in Whelans. Be happy to see either again and both have new albums released.

Suede playing Dun Laoghaire so that kinda puts them out, Supergrass also.

(unless we're super lucky and the MCD link there means they're a twoofer with EP)

I remember an old joke about the Levellers which may be a little un PC but I still like it

The Levellers don't actually tour. They just keep getting moved on

New tame impala album is brilliant on the first listen. No weak track

If they are announced il never mention roybn again

Financially though I really hope they are aswell because I just can’t afford another gig this year, especially in Dublin!

What has become of their "exciting news" about the announcement of the news about the announcement of the news? Of the announcement? Of the lineup? In the coming days, they said. These are the coming days. We are living them. Give me an announcement. Or news.

Haven't had a chance to listen to the new music yet but would agree that they would be a fantastic announcement. Certainly an act with the potential to please a lot of people!

Taylor seems to be in Europe at the start of the summer so doubt she will be back in Europe in September.
Cant see Foo's either as similar to Swift they are only in Europe in June/July (although id happily be wrong ha)

We need to put a stop to all these extra festivals happening so they don't keep stealing possible lineups for EP.

Luckily, we've been growing our own potatoes and post punk bands in readiness for any eventuality.

Can't believe I know this but she lives in London currently, I think she'll play mainly because she's doing everywhere else and has no irish date yet.

Friday - RATM
Saturay - Taylor Swift (with Tame Impala in the late slot)
Sunday - Liam Galagher

Oh that would leave me cold. We can do better than that. I know, I know, we don't care so much about the headliners but after the Strokes and Massive Attack the last 2 years, I'd miss having a big night out in front of the main stage.

Her mum is ill, she's doing a short Euro tour and then going home.

I think you'll be severely disappointed if you think the headliners will be better than that. As much as I don't think Taylor Swift will be there, there is no arguing she would be classed a stellar draw. I do have a sneaking suspicion Liam Gallagher will be booked (ffs) and I'd be over the moon to see Tame Impala booked, though I get the feeling they may even be beyond festival slots at the moment. Interested to hear any suggestions or predictions you'd have? I can't think of any really, I only hope James Murphy gets the band together for a standalone date given his customary attendance at the festival! Realistically though I predict RATM will be the biggest booking they do regards to money spent on bringing them over.

We're more likely to get Despacio than the LCD Soundsystem, but I wouldn't mind that either loved it the last time it was here.

Saw them both at the gig tonight. Enthralled! Can I ask how long Fionn played for last night? 50 mins tonight. Brilliant s those minutes were it was very short!

+1 for the new Tame Impala record love, fwiw.
