Bestival is due to announce on Wednesday morning and I think Reading and Leeds too, so perhaps EP is checking to see what is announced there before making their second announcement, the wait now is getting a little tiresome though. Loved the first announcement and got my ticket, would just like to hear a few more names now.

yeah same, I want another little boost to keep the excitement flowing.

Hasn't been that long since the initial announcement, be patient.

Killjoy! :P

Fatfrog · 22-04-2014 2:35pm

Every year without fail I get slightly worried about the lack of electronic acts on the bill, knowing full well they're always announced later in the year!

But plenty of time yet (128 days according to twitter

What are the chances of Scroobius Pip and Dan Le Sac being announced?

Slim i'd say, last few dates on their tour together this week. But last year Scroobius did his spoken word tour, so maybe a solo gig?

they're playing a few festivals in the UK over the Summer, including Bestival the week after EP...

BadTurtle · 22-04-2014 3:58pm

I'd like to see the Rubberbandits come back. Saw their gig in UCC recently and it was hilarious. They have a new album and tour in the works so should be a distinct possibility.

They are doing Indie and that new festival in Kilkenny August Bank Holiday

freddiemoore · 22-04-2014 6:12pm

I see Kiesza is playin Bestival, wouldn't be surprised if she's at EP too considering Hideaway is one of the songs of the summer.

The Little Big Tent lineup was poor last year though relative to previous years. In saying that they had some great names in the forest so fingers crossed for that again!

Its just over a month since the last announcement, so long enough, they'll need to do something soon if they want to flog €194.50 tickets to the punters.

GenieOz · 22-04-2014 8:03pm

How long was it last year between the first and second announcement?

More importantly, the initial announcement wasn't made til the 25th of April last year, so they shouldn't be in any rush to announce more acts.

Morrison J · 22-04-2014 8:42pm

Last year the 1st announcement was the 25th of April and then the following announcement which included 26 other acts was released on the 22nd of May. Hopefully it will only be another week or two until we get a few more names so!

endainoz · 22-04-2014 9:51pm

Tried to post this a while back and it didnt work, anyways seen as the Pet Shop boys are playing this year, this video is worth a watch. You'll never think of this song the same way again!!

Furious-Red · 22-04-2014 10:53pm

Reading and Leeds line up pretty much complete and since it is a week before so would love to see:

Jimmy Eat World
Vampire Weekend
Foster The People
The Hives
Pulled Apart By Horses
Cage The Elephant
Royal Blood(i know they are supporting AM over here)
Gogol Bordello
Pendulum DJ Set(but would rather Knife Party ha)

Morrison J · 22-04-2014 10:59pm

Imagine The Horrors and Bombay Bicycle Club would be good shouts to play EP from there. Perfect EP bands really.

Vampire Weekend would be a decent sub-headliner for Beck on the Sunday too

BadTurtle · 22-04-2014 11:17pm

Bombay playing Longitude so unlikely.
I'd love Vampire Weekend, The Hives, Pusha T, Danny Brown or Klaxons.

Fuzzy_Dunlop · 22-04-2014 11:31pm

Are Jimmy Eat World there twice because they're playing two different stages the same day?

[edit] yeah seems they are

hugeglobe · 22-04-2014 11:57pm

Just saw Royal Blood on jools there. They look like the real deal live.

D.Q · 22-04-2014 11:57pm

haha surely no chance of knife party....as unreal as it would be.

Crossfaith are good craic but definitely too heavy for EP. Royal Blood and Cage the elephant would be welcome additions. Really looking forward to the next announcement. Still have a small flame of hope flickering for QOTSA.

freddiemoore · 23-04-2014 12:00am

Have a feeling Die Antwoord will be added. No idea why!

MattHelders · 23-04-2014 12:04am

Wouldn't mind a bit of Danny Brown | Joey Badass from the Reading/Leeds line up

siblers · 23-04-2014 12:21am

Would love them to be added, they are doing a load of festivals in the summer so I'd be surprised if they don't play Ireland (not including with the Arctic Monkeys)

Mince Pie · 23-04-2014 12:23am

I concur on Royal Blood, saw them on Jools and first thought was please let them be added to the EP line up.

siblers · 23-04-2014 12:55am

MadYaker · 23-04-2014 2:22am

Cage The Elephant would be great.

Eroticplants · 23-04-2014 7:45am

Death Grips and Crosses.

exilec · 23-04-2014 8:05am

Gogol Bordello playing in one of the tents would be amazing ...:cool:

garrkell · 23-04-2014 12:40pm

id love to see some of these added......

Moderat
Booka Shade
Boys Noize
Gramatik
Parov Stelar
Brodinski
Janelle Monae
Royksopp & Robin
Shlohmo
The 2 Bears
Kavinski
Pendulum - Dj Set
FKJ

MattD · 23-04-2014 12:54pm

If those stories about mogwai and Chromeo self-confirming are true, then I'll be happy with the next announcement whatever happens.

Otherwise my wishlist is:

Chance the rapper
65 daysofstatic
Future islands
Wild beasts
Tvvins
Kendrick
Enemies
Antlers
Dan le Sac vs SP
Capital cities
Carbiou
Childish gambino

Not too much to ask, yeah?

TimeToShine · 23-04-2014 1:03pm

Any chance of AFX or Antlers realistically? All looks like hearsay but I thought Portishead wouldn't happen so you never know!

Booka Shade and Chromeo would be nice if confirmed.

bodhrandude · 23-04-2014 1:07pm

This was the announcement from Bestival today for the Red Bull Academy Stage:
THURSDAY - NUMBERS
Jackmaster & Oneman: Can You Dance
Redinho live
Kool Clap live
Spencer b2b Optimo

FRIDAY - TROPICAL
JME
Skepta
Preditah & C4
Plastician
Slimzee & Riko Dan
Logan Sama
DJ EZ
Elijah b2b Skilliam

SATURDAY - HARVEY'S DISCOTHEQUE
DJ Harvey
Daniel Avery
Pachanga Boys
Eric Duncan
Hugo Capablanca
Jolly Mare
Andre Laos

SUNDAY - DIPLO & FRIENDS
Diplo
Kaytranada
Trippy Turtle
Martelo
Artwork
DJ Slow
Sinjin Hawke

I don't know if there is also a main announcement to come, but what pricked my ears yesterday from the Reading and Leeds announcement was Gessafelstein. Now I know he is touring late august and is in the UK the weekend before so surely he is in with a chance for an announcement at the Picnic.

Mince Pie · 23-04-2014 1:10pm

Gawd I feel old now, don't know a single artist on that list. ^^^^^

BaZmO* · 23-04-2014 1:17pm

I'm hoping for;

CZC3
Corporate Services
Q-Connect
Aurora
Big Number
County Hall
Trodat

Mince Pie · 23-04-2014 1:18pm

Royal Blood are playing Marley with Arctic Monkeys and then Leeds. Whats the chances of an EP appearance?

Looks like Richard is having a fallow year, numerous websites list no gigs at all for 2014. His last reported gig was the Barbrican in London October 2012, so maybe for 2015 hopefully.

I thought I recognised one of them, but on closer inspection, it read DJ Harvey

Ha. I was wondering if anybody would cop it. I just picked random names from what was around my desk. I thought that was the game that everybody else was playing?

you dont know any of the groups/people i mentioned? :pac:

Fatfrog · 23-04-2014 5:50pm

Couldn't see Bombay bicycle club there again?

Just wondering if Foster the people could fill the Sunday gap in terms of day ticket appeal?
Personally don't think Beck is enough (Although he's deadly, particularly his new album) for some odd reason I think Beck fans will be full weekenders rather than day trippers!

Ferris_Bueller · 23-04-2014 5:53pm

Getting impatient now even though it hasn't been that long since the initial release. Looking at Unknown festival over in Croatia the week after EP and it has a lot of acts I would love to see at Picnic; Henrik Schwarz, Daniel Avery, George Fitzgerald, Jackmaster, Mano Le Tough, Prins Thomas, Tale of Us, Waze & Odyssey along with more I mentioned earlier in the thread, and if I could pick one out of the whole line up Simian Mobile Disco, who sometimes gig with Bicep if I'm not mistaken? Would be very happy to see them announced, as they are free the weekend of EP too.

I won't hold my breathe for any of the above, I was actually quite unfamiliar with a lot of the electronic acts last year but they were still very good. Just hoping we hear something in the next week or two!

Well unless he is subbing, the main stage closes at midnight on Sunday night, maybe there will be someone of higher profile added later for the 10.30 - midnight slot.

Foster the people aren't that popular anymore, couldn't see them being later than 7 on the main stage.

HighClass · 23-04-2014 7:43pm

Libertines are getting back together to play Hyde Park in July. Very, very, very slim chance but if they were added to the EP lineup I wouldn't care who else was!

Apparently just a one off I think, they have been ruled out of Glastonbury and other festivals.
