    Digitalism, Erol Alkan, Dave Clarke, Felix da Housecat, Whomadewho, Steve Angello, Headman, Switch and Primal Scream are all playing Oxegen.

    The Oxegen line-up is looking alot like the kind of acts EP were getting last year.

    Although Tiefschwarz are confirmed for Electric Picnic (according to their website). Hopefully more similar acts will be announced. Rumours of M83 too...

    I'm also hoping for Hot Chip.

    After their gigs in Galway and Dublin, surely Justice will be announced for one or the other at some stage. I really hope it's not Oxegen.

    daft punk definitely aren't playing.

    On their new official website, it says they'll be playing 8 gigs. Only 5 have been announced, so they will be playing at 3 gigs which haven't been announced yet...

    Having read the whole thread, that's the only rumour that didn't make me yawn.

    Still won't go though.

    so i see, change that from definitely not playing to: unlikely to play.


    i honestly can't see them coming to ireland if they're only adding 3 gigs for the whole world to share.

    apparently mcd are trying to get them for HiFi....

    I went to see Death Cab a few weeks ago in Amsterdam. After the show I saw the guitarist so I went up and berated him for not playing Ireland in their tour. He said to me they are 90% they are playing Electric Picnic.

    Don't take that as gospel though, he could have just been trying to pacify me heh.

    hope its true, they would be a great addition

    Some Mullingar local on the EP forum says that it's in their local paper today that Daft Punk will be playing at MCD's Hi-Fi festival. :mad:

    Let's be honest, the line-up for electric picnic is cack. I mean I want a festival to rival Glastonbury as much as the next man but it is a weak line-up this year no matter what way you look at it. It has got to be the worst line-up of any of the main festivals. For 175 euro, I'd want a lot better. I was at oxegen last year and thought it was brutal because of the amount of scum and also the way it is organised so I'm a little disappointed that Electric Picnic haven't at least improved on last years line-up...

    I don't know if its true, but on the news website on BBC someone from EP said that the lineup announced right now is only 40% of the complete lineup, so it isnt bad at all for only 40%.

    "The lineup is ****e" etc...

    It all depends on your bloody music taste doesn't it. Atm theres more bands on there now I want to see than there was a Oxegen last year.

    well with the rumoured addition of Wilco and Death Cab, i think the lineup is coming along very nicely.
