Can I ask something slightly of topic but still EP relevant? Ive signed up for the 15km run with the Tour de Picnic. I figured if I have to part with €300 for a ticket its better to do it for a charity than line someone else's pocket. So if there is anyone that has done this previously my questions are (a) how challenging is the running route?(b) how much serious training is needed for it to cross the line and still have energy in the tank for 3 days of partying?

You'll have the energy, but serious word of advice, after a 15k run it will take very little to get you pissed. I had a bad fall a few years back after getting very drunk really quickly. Dehydration and booze is an odd mix!
Good luck with the run.

Vodka and Lucosade Sport is the drink for those circumstances.

I have a foreboding that the Cranberries might be booked for this, I hope not though but they seem to be touring around August. Will be running off to Body & Soul Village to escape Linger if that is the case. http://www.limerickpost.ie/2016/02/08/limerick-band-the-cranberries-back-on-tour/

No, just no, no no no no

Glucozade Port. Only energy drink that rehydrates and dehydrates you again right after.

Looks like no EP for me this year But on the other hand i just bought my ticket for Pukkelpop instead :)

Surely you can get some honorary boardsie EP free pass at this stage!!

Is Pukkelpop a camping/tent event or a go home after each day joby?

I knows. I tried to get into the tent to pledge my troth to the lovely Ms Anita but was repelled by the sheer physical mass and icky aroma of inebriated younglings

Yup I await with baited breath the next line of names, here is hoping soon.

Paid off my second installment today. Only one more to go. Those who missed out on tickets I'd say a good few will turn up in the next few days due to people not paying it.

I wonder is there any chance of the Despacio setup being at the picnic again? It was such an awesome place last year, James Murphy will be around with LCD soundsystem anyway.

Other Voices are releasing their 1st batch of names this week.
Hopefully there are a few more acts announced for the main arena too.

ghostdancer

has Despacio been announced for any European festivals LCDSS are playing? only place I can remember seeing it listed this year is Coachella.

Happy Star Wars Day all.

Last year the big announcement was on the 5th of May, anyone know if we're due an announcement this week? (Apart from the otter voices tent)

Rumours floating about a Talking Heads reformation, sounds interesting, a possibility for EP 2017 maybe. http://louderthanwar.com/talking-heads-reform/

Unless David Byrne was stoney broke, I cannot see what he'd get out of it. The chap seems to revel in new things rather than re-treading old ground.

sally cinnamon89

King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard would be a real treat

maximoose

Local Natives from EOTR please

Well the new album would be new. Seemed to be really enjoying himself on the last tour with St Vincent also.

Would love to see a Talking Heads tour, stop pissing on my chips!!

Melt Yourself Down have a new album out and are playing live dates over the summer .. would be a perfect EP act.
