    Please... Its gin in limes. Who the **** eats lemons with their gin. This is a sophisticated festival, not Oxygen...

    Gin and tonic with a wedge of lime, not lemon. I like you!

    Try it with a slice of cucumber too, I was told about this 2 weeks ago and it was quite nice. Dunno how it will taste if the drink is warm though.

    After my fairly indifferent mood towards EP over the last 8 months or so and bitterness about most of the lineup, now that we're only a few days away my excitement is building nicely and I cant fooking wait to get down there.

    That moment of relief as you open the first can after setting up the tent, bring it on :)

    The Killers and Hot Chip on the same time too??

    All the headlining acts seem to be clashing, bad planning IMO. They should all be following each other on the main stage really (maybe not Ed)

    It now means leaving one act half way through their set to get to the other band :mad:

    Thanks. Suppose you probably cant answer, but where did you get this?

    I'd print this off/download it cos if EP find out they'll have it taken down sharpish I'd say!

    Exactly, take number of "headline" bands you are interested in, divide by number of main stages - that's how many you'll see if you're lucky. Always the way. :(

    as expected, saturday has loads of clashes. why couldn't they have more big names on friday, some balance.

    richard hawley or junior boys?
    grimes or the end of the cure?
    squarepusher or orbital?

    I assume in fairness a lot of them big bands are tied into other gigs and can only play on the Sat, or Sat is the best fit for them if they have gigs elsewhere in Europe on Sunday or Friday etc?

    Yeah, it's actually not that bad on a second look they have two headliners following each other each night on main stage and then the others taking a different stage each. can't please everyone :)

    i don't actually mind that too much, a bit more time to spend watching acts in B&S area!

    They mentioned that in a Hotpress interview this week. Playing a full set instead of the standard festival slot.

    don't they always play long festival sets?

    dunno about the rest of crowd, but they lost me at Oxegen 2004, I drifted off when I didn't recognise most of the songs

    The set in 2004 was made up of more obscure and newer material. It was awesome! I noticed allot of people lost a bit of interest when they didn't play any of their hits... butt that's not necessarily what seeing the cure is about. I think this time should be more mainstream. Check out the set list from Reading for an idea

    Had a feeling that EP would release the timetable earlier as a result..

    Well here it is: http://electricpicnic.ie/downloads/EPtimetable2012.pdf

    Pretty sure it's the exact same as the earlier one..
