    A lot of bands that people will say "they're not big enough to headline", followed by complaints that "it's not as good as the first year".

    And just general complaints of "this lineup sucks".

    just looking at MCD's upcoming gigs, Jungle have a sold out Olympia show, so they're probably booked for this too, as they did EP last year and those are MCD's only festivals that would suit them.

    There seems to be a bit of a switching around between Longitude and Electric Picnic where the small bands that played Longitude that no one knew about and have gotten a lot bigger go to EP the next year to be bigger billed (London Grammar, SOHN, Flume, Laura Mvula), and vice versa, lesser known acts play EP get popular and go on to do Longitude (Disclosure, le galaxie, CHVRCHES, Sam Smith, 1975).

    So yeah for Longitude I'd see the lineup including Jungle, Clean Bandit, Wolf Alice, Rustie, Walking On Cars, maybe a Dimitri From Paris?

    A sneaky Damon Albarn headliner or The Black Keys (we can dream!) would be awesome though

    Alt-J would be a good shout. Their gig in September was MCD I think and they're playing some festivals over the Summer.

    Hozier, Alt J and The Chemical Brothers are the three headliners. Caribou, Wild Beasts, SBTRKT, Kaytranada, Little Dragon, Jungle, Young Fathers, Hudson Mohawke all announced also. Not a bad line up to be fair, don't think I'll be here for it this year though. Was hoping one or two of them would be announced for EP.

    Is it entirely inconceivable that one or two could not play EP? Still think the likes of hozier and alt j might play EP. Fingers crossed anyway

    There wasn't much crossover last year as far as I can remember, Greg Wilson, Krystal Klear and Le Galaxie are the only ones I can think of who played at both although there might be one or two more. There seems to be more crossover with the picnic of previous years, i.e acts who played at EP '14 go on to play Longitude '15. Was hoping to get Caribou and The Chemical Brothers at Electric Picnic.

    Usually about 150 I think.


    Think I'll go on the Saturday this year. Been wanting to see Alt-J but kept missing them, and plus it's very handy for me to get to.

    will wait until there's some sort of day breakdowns before deciding to go.
    if I could avoid having to go the Friday, that would be great.

    Like the look of that line-up. Would really love to see the Chem brothers, Alt J and Wolf.

    When do they announce the day breakdown?

    For contrast , I am super excited about this line up.

    Chemical brothers are the best electronic band ever.

    Alt-j were so impressive in the point last year. It was their biggest gig at the time and both audience and band appreciated it. By July they will be accustomed to it but I think they will still give an excellent rendition of their past two albums

    Should it not be The Chemical Brother rather than brothers, as its only one touring kinda like Leftfield in 2010 EP and RockNess.

    Caribou are playing the Saturday. A real shame that they aren't on with that single Chemical Brother character.

    For people thinking of going to this the expression ´Fools are easily parted with their money´comes to mind.

    Seriously what a crap line up. Especially Hozier headlining :confused::confused:
    That´ll be a lively end to the evening. He´s playing support for the Foo Fighters in an afternoon slot....and that´s where he belongs I reckon.

    So what if he was nominated for a Grammy, they're not the most adventurous crowd.

    I and many others find him insufferably boring and it has absolutely nothing to do with the fact he is Irish.
