First and foremost, hoverboards.

Failing that, a band called Hoverboards.

But realistically...

Duran Duran, The Frames, Moby (I still think/hope he has the devil in him)

A proper cage like arena for the rockers. Ep needs a balls to the wall metal section.

Loads more portaloos for the campsites. I counted 6 men's portaloos in the Oscar Wilde which probably had 7000+ people staying in it. And both times I visited there were 3 out of commission...

The ladies ones had massive queues too dunno how slow they were so can't really comment.

That's honestly the only thing I'd demand be changed for next year. Maybe look at the queuing for searches during peak hours too. Missed the start of a must see act because we spent 20 mins queuing Sat eve...

Otherwise more of the same see Ye all next Sept!!!

Is it too soon to look at the long-range weather forecast?

Showers, don't forget more showers

Duff · 04-09-2014 8:50am

May as well sure..

Pearl Jam, QOTSA, The Gaslight Anthem, Jimmy Eat World, Alt-J, The XX, The Joy Formidable. That'd do me anyway.

Queen-Mise · 04-09-2014 8:58am

OK - posted on other thread. I heard they were trying to book The Lumineers.

Who I want to see are MORCHEEBA - would love to see that band live. And please don't let someone tell they have played already.

I would also like to see some Brit pop 90's band. That is my heyday - it was unfair seeing all the bands from the heyday in the 70s, & 80s this year. What about me:(:rolleyes:

Would have to think some more about bands after that.

mejulie805 · 04-09-2014 9:16am

Pretty sure I'm going to buy my ticket in the next couple of weeks.. 2015 will be my most organised year yet!

run_Forrest_run · 04-09-2014 10:17am

can I be first to start the mandatory Aphex Twin 'thing'

roll · 04-09-2014 10:27am

i heard bowie's gonna play

Queen-Mise · 04-09-2014 10:32am

What I was also really impressed this year was the quality of the female vocalist performers - can we have more of the same please.

What about Tracy Chapman - only because when I was in the shop a while ago she was on the radio. Did she ever do the Feile - that is the only place I would have seen her. I can't remember seeing her.

I would also like to see of the older Irish acts, the Blades went down really well.

MadYaker · 04-09-2014 10:34am

Oasis, U2 and David Bowie.

God no to the first two. Couldn't be dealing with their twatness. Could you imagine Bono preaching at us on the stage.

D.Q · 04-09-2014 10:47am

The stone roses and electric picnic would be a beautiful romance.

Plus the amount of Wonderwall singing guitar **** in the campsite would explode.

My list for EP Santy:
Chromeo
Mew
Local Natives
Bring back Bombay Bicycle club cuz they were great
Bring back SBTRKT cuz I'm still incredibly pissed off about overdoing my power nap and missing the bastard.
And if we're dreaming sure, Radiohead.

Oh yes - now that would work well.

cometogether · 04-09-2014 11:09am

Royal Blood

thror · 04-09-2014 11:23am

If the EP Gods are reading this I would love me some:

Stromae
Girl Band because I missed them this year and was sad

readyletsgo · 04-09-2014 11:26am

It will never happen, but.....

Boards of Canada live set

zsha · 04-09-2014 11:37am

Yes to that . I would love if EP was kinda like Pukkelpop/Sziget/Rock Werchter . A good mix of different type of bands would be great

Duran Duran, - Moby (I still think/hope he has the devil in him)

DD - Funnily enough, was talking to a few mates over the weekend, their name came up a few times

Moby would be good fun if he's in the mood.

Right Turn Clyde · 04-09-2014 12:59pm

He's actually about to release his first new album since 2001's Drukqs. I wouldn't be surprised if he was announced.

Graham1978 · 04-09-2014 1:00pm

Ha Ha Ha, Deadly !!!

So its actually this day next year yea ?

How are you guys gonna smuggle your beer in ?

LOL

Especially The Stone Roses. That would be unbelievably fantastic.

scruff monkey · 04-09-2014 1:28pm

Would love to see white lies, Interpol and maybe Elvis Costello. A massive long shot would be David Gilmour

Foltar · 04-09-2014 2:00pm

De La Soul, Tycho, Little Dragon, RAC, Memory Tapes, Snakadaktal, Bonobo, Mano Le Tough, Dustin Tebbutt, Flight Facilities, James Blake, The Preatures, Rufus, Phantogram and Yumi Zouma.

Oasis_Dublin · 04-09-2014 2:30pm

More portaloos for men; we need to poo too.

Bands? Stone Roses and Oasis/Noely G. Yes it would bring in the great unwashed, the proletariat, and we'd be unable to pretend that we enjoyed some old woman dressed like Lady Gaga, but the music would actually be good!

04-09-2014 2:44pm

Racking my brains, but I think I've now seen everyone I want to see at the picnic!

Maybe Tom Waits (never would happen)

And Babygramps. Trust me. Look up scrotum song. He's amazing.

/edited to add:

Definitely needed more hip hop. Roots were amazing a few years ago. And still not sold on Outkast playing in yhe main arena...

Fleetwood Mac would be amazing!

dmm82 · 04-09-2014 3:04pm

New order, underworld, fleetwood mac, arcade fire, the magic numbers and le galaxie yet again would be heavenly

NewCorkLad · 04-09-2014 3:11pm

I think this thread will drive me mad long before we get to EP15

NewCorkLad · 04-09-2014 3:14pm

Anyone for a bit of Tenacious D

NewCorkLad · 04-09-2014 3:18pm

Not in the slightest bit surprised. Family camping was so civilised. And everyone I was talking in the campsite Sun & Mon were going straight in to buy their tickets on Monday morning.

I am getting my Family Camping tomorrow morning when hubby gets paid.

Down with this kind of thing.

maximoose · 04-09-2014 3:43pm

Christ that's quick... what kind of numbers are in each of those campsites?

frozenfrozen · 04-09-2014 3:43pm

only several hundred sleeps to go

Would be perfect for EP

Rob094 · 04-09-2014 9:22pm

The national, frightened rabbit, frank turner, explosions in the sky, biffy clyro, badbadnotgood, chance the rapper, republic of loose, Jake bugg, royal blood, lorde and Matt Corby.

Pls.

red face dave · 04-09-2014 9:34pm

I'm going to start the campaign early "Aphex Twim for EP15" not impossible considering new album out soon.

This time last week I was so excited

04-09-2014 9:39pm

Missed Picnic this year.

So hoping 2015 will be my triumphant return.

Would love to see any (or all!) of the following:

Fleetwood Mac, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Goldfrapp, PJ Harvey, Sky Ferreira, The Antlers, George Ezra, Sharon Van Etten, She Keeps Bees, Samaris, Future Islands, Lana Del Rey, Lorde, Light Asylum, Trust, iamamiwhoami.......they'd do for starters.

Somewhat less realistically, Kate Bush and Tom Waits would be class!

Frigga_92 · 04-09-2014 11:42pm

Seconding almost all of the acts mentioned so far.

Fingers crossed for a proper Friday night next year. Maybe a bit more hip hop and rock. I'd also be delighted to just be able to bring water into the arena. Also, I'd love if the laneway right beside boutique camping could actually be used by boutique campers. This year you could go down the laneway but not up which meant having to walk through Jimi Hendrix to get to the main arena thus increasing traffic in all those areas. I would've thought spreading out traffic would make more sense instead of squashing us all into a bottleneck.

bodhrandude · 04-09-2014 11:56pm

As we speak Aphex Twin has just leaked the first track from Syro http://pitchfork.com/news/56560-aphex-twin-unleashes-new-track-minipops-67-1202source-field-mix/ So yes a definite must to book him for 2015.

Aphex Twin
Daniel Avery
Why not Planxty instead of combinations that sound like Planxty.
David Gilmour
Tricky seeing as he is also part of the Bristol trip hop scene.
Cocteau Twins or Liz Frazer and Robin Guthrie with Massive attack.
Butthole Surfers
Thursten Moore
Animal Collective

Robotito · 05-09-2014 12:40am

Missed it this year due to uncontrollable circumstances but have just pulled the trigger on 2015 loyalty tickets!
Here goes my wishlist....
Radiohead
M83
The Juan Maclean
Afghan whigs
Wilco
Hot Chip (!)
New order
Jack White
Jesus and Mary chain
Caribou
The fall
Real estate

zuluchio · 05-09-2014 9:37am

I would like to see one of Underworld, Chemical Brothers, Orbital or 2 Many DJs for the Saturday late slot.

And also a full Friday line-up, or at least a full half day Friday.

The Stone Roses would be amazing.

This was the case up until the past 2 picnics. Boutique camping gave you loads of access. You could walk through to the village and back past the courtyard and access the main arena from staff areas. I was gutted when they changed it

They would bring an awful lot of of dirbirds with them. I hate saying that because I'm a huge fan, but let's call a spade a spade.

Fuzzy_Dunlop · 05-09-2014 11:01am

I'll take Pearl Jam, the National, Frightened Rabbit, Local Natives, 2manydjs, Alt-J, Chvrches, the Gaslight Anthem, Band of Horses... thanks!
