Electric Picnic 2006: Lineup rumours

radiospan

Some bands have already confirmed on their official websites that they'll be playing at EP '06, including Massive Attack and I think Saul Williams.

Does anyone know when an announcement will be made? When was it made last year? I've heard rumours of Radiohead and New Order?

Sounds like one of Richard D James' monikers.

Daft Punk would seal the deal for me, seems like Oxegen pre-empted EP this year by signing up Erol Alkan and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!

my thoughts exactly! yeah daft punk would seal the deal for me too, they're touring this summer so it's not unlikely that they'd be there

Daft Punk will not be playing EP. They are only doing five shows this year and they won't be playing EP as part of those shows.

Helix

daft punk arent playing

theyre only doing 2 european dates and ep isnt one of them, thats from the mouth of the organisers

theyre also rubbish

griffdaddy

wtf is their big aversion to playing live? their last album was rubbish but the first 2 were good

Ronanom

Silicone Soul will be playing Oxegen and Electric Picnic and Dave Clarke is playing the saturday of Oxegen too

Joey Shabadoo

MF Doom

I heard Madlib too.

voltamadan

I can't decide whether I like him or not. He's very strange which is a plus.

i seriously doubt it.

any band that play oxygen are made sign a contract by MCD that makes them bound to not playing any other event in the country 6 months before and after oxegen. this is because MCD are kuntz and so that a popular act wont take away from theire ticket sales by say, playing Crawdaddy the week before or after.
this goes for nearly all acts afaik.

Aiken Promotions may do somethin similar. im not sure

i'd actually put money on them booking Tiga.

hopefully they try to get Erol as well, he'd definitely be some quality EP fodder:)

jonny68

Basement Jaxx as well,jaysus lets hope this is really the line up cos we will be in for a treat

Anima

When is EP?

Kolodny

1st to 3rd September.

This line-up has changed my mind about not going!

ditto they were brilliant live...although I've since got sick of the album, loved it for a few months though!

The line up is excellent, defo going again this year. My big disappointment last year was missing Lemon Jelly. I haven't seen The Orb live since '94 so I'd go for them alone - they put on some show.

jonny68

Keep an eye out this coming Thursday 23rd when the line-up is announced:)

Well, I was talking to the two chaps in Galway last weekend when they played in the vic, and they said they were playing both gigs.

True that MCD do get acts to sign a contract but is it hell for 6 months before and after! More like 1 month or the month in question (July for Oxegen) This I know because when asking a DJ's agent if the DJ could play for a gig in July he said that he couldn't due to playing Oxegen, but August was O.K for him.

jonny68

Spot on helix you were right,what a line-up im there 100% gonna try get my ticket next week,this pi**es all over Oxegen by a mile

Helix

best lineup ive seen for a long while

i wanna see practically everyone on the bill

lol
