    Underworld were for a time down for Friday and haven't updated their Myspace yet. Looks like they needed to beef up the Saturday lineup.

    All the days look well-rounded acts-wise for me though I fear the most clashes on the Sunday... definetly has the highest amount of bands I most want to see.

    Other than that, got to start checking out all the bands I don't know!

    Saw some artist down on the lineup- that sets up his equipment in the middle of the crowd as opposed to the stage - ring a bell with anybody? Looked excellent live from a youtube vid I saw at the time - but can't remember who it was?

    Full line up as now visiible on the website:

    FRIDAY 29th


    Digitalism
    New Young Pony Club
    Sigur Ros (must be main stage - might be better in a tent, but can't see organisers going for it - since they are the main headliners for the whole weekend imho)

    SATURDAY 30th

    Crystal Castles
    Cut Copy
    Elbow
    George Clinton
    Grace Jones (for novelty alone plus excellent reviews from London show)
    That Petrol Emotion
    The Breeders
    Underworld
    Wilco


    SUNDAY 31st
    Candi Staton (novelty)
    CSS
    Hercules & Love Affair
    My Bloody Valentine (hopefully good, but maybe a letdown)
    Sex Pistols (same as above)
    Stephen Malkmus
    The Dodos

    Would have thought that one more big name would be added but its not to be.

    nope. he played in vicar street a few weeks back. Its surreal watching the entire crowd running round in circles or forming a train all played to his techno dance weirdness.

    the 'nope' part was in reply to the previous poster who said he 'one not to miss'. I was agreeing.

    Theyve been steadily more and more quiet over the years. Back when the festival launched they were very interactive with information and the like. These days you generally dont find anything out till the week before.

    On a side note from the line up, which is fine for me. Does anyone reccomend bringing walkie talkies to Picnic. As phones can be useless, but good range walkie talkie could be better?

    Yeah I agree, not many emails at all this year.
    Every other year there would be phonecalls and emails flying between myself and my friends everytime a new email was received :)

    The comedy tent line-up is up on the website. I could be wrong, but they never sent out an email saying the comedy line-up was announced...did they?

    What time is it?
    It's DOD time! :)
    Yep, David O'Doherty is back in the comedy tent this year :D

    No, I don't think they did sent out a comedy line-up mail. I agree that the EP crowd is DEFINITELY more quiet this year than ever before, not to mention the line-up is most definitely the lowest profile (not including the first year - I wasn't at that). I expected to be hearing of a few pretty impressive acts in the last couple of weeks (like other years), but nothing.

    Have they forgotten us?

    A site map AND a comedy line up including the DOD?? I think we'd all be better off passing on info here than waiting for emails, they've been very quiet indeed.

    Along with Blitzen Trapper, The Constantines, and The Waterboys whove all dropped off the lineup without any announcement from the promoters. The Waterboys announced on their website that it was due to the promoters "renegotiating" their contract at a lower rate that wasnt economically viable for them to perform at.
