We've had this discussion recently. To recap:

Groove Armada - 2004 & 2006
Basement Jaxx - 2006 & 2009
Orbital - 2009 & 2012

Not saying it'll happen but we're surely going to have a late night dance act and who else is touring then?

I’ve seen chem bros at ep twice now and didn’t think much of them either time. Like I love most of their songs, when mother djs will play go I’m all over it...just whatever it is about them live just couldn’t get into it

This set is a lot more banging than their EP & Marley Park gigs imo

Was a fun set from the killers in the end. Started out fairly poor but finished pretty strong. Brought out Pet shop boys and Johnny Marr, even did a pretty respectable version of this charming man. Crowd were well into it too.

I would have kicked several teenagers if there was any around.

Would be nice if Flowers repaid Marr at EP, a Salty dog special appearance.

Not feeling it from the chemical brothers tonight. Maybe ive seen them too many times, but the same old versions of Saturate, Swoon, Hey Boy Hey Girl etc. even down to the visuals, its just a bit uninspired. Some of these have been the same for over a decade. And the replacements of songs like Believe, Private Psy Reel, Setting sun etc dont really cut it for me either. Go is Galvanizes poor sibling, MAH is a bad Fatboy slim song (ie, any FBS song), Eve of Destruction is pretty bland too.

Im getting old lads, one of my favourite duos growing up leaving me cold...

Agree with much of that, particularly re Go and the visuals. But I felt the biggies sounded great, loved them throwing in New Order's Temptation plus the ending of Galvanize & Block Rockin' Beats was stupendous.

Wu Tang on the other hand. Thought it would be a stretch to go lower than their appalling EP set. They rose to that challenge.

True, not easy to come down from that. Oh to have been in the company of those guys for a few beers.

And I agree re the first album but I Am The Greatest will always be the one for me. Full feedback tomorrow please. And we'll not look kindly on you failing to invite them to EP.

Good stuff from the lads tonight. Sound a bit muffled I thought but I was up in the balcony so that might be the reason. They were a little bit all over the place at times but in a charming sort of way. Dave, the miserable git, was in top form. Lovely performance of I am afraid, Dave's daughter on vocals and Ferg's on drums and then an amazing encore of No more Apologies, Call me blue, Comedy is Over and I want too much. All over in the blink of an eye. Lots of happy old men. Pint in the sun outside Hartigans before, pint in Grogan's and a kebab in Zaytoon after, half 12 bus home. Pretty much the perfect evening. They sounded better and better as the songs got older. They'd kill it in Jerry's tent.

That sounds class. Would be great in JF's tent but surely enough of us old gits around to bump them up a stage? The Fat Lady Sings, Something Happens and That Petrol Emotion have all had slots in the bigger tents. Whatever happens let's hope they don't disappear under a rock a lá the Cork lads.

Yeah, fingers crossed. Like I say, Dave enjoyed himself. Maybe he'll get the bug again.

Watch Glastonbury from my couch all weekend had got me so excited now!!kaleidoscope seems to have ran well going by comments which is great!

Looking forward to the cure tonight now!

I'm not a fan of the Torygraph but this is an interesting comparison of Glastonbury headliners. And hasn't the Picnic done well? I make it nineteen of those acts having played Stradbally over the past fifteen years.

I know The Killers are very pop but I absolutely adore them. Great lyrics, a romantic story in almost every song, Brandon Flowers is getting to be a better front man with age. Saw them at Rock Werchter last year and even they managed to get the Belgian crowd going (not an easy feat). If they were announced for EP this year I’d be ecstatic.

Catching up on Glastonbury coverage now, Hot Chip playing a blinder.

For anyone who doesn’t like Lewis Capaldi, you have to admit his entrance at Glastonbury this weekend was hilarious.

Overall just buzzzzzzing for EP even more just watching this coverage!

Speaking of kicking teens, did you see the Idles!!

Difficult moment when you're in the crowd and you see the sweaty lead guitarist about crowd surf over you wearing only boxers. Their gig looked proper Craic.

Did anyone catch the bit of foals that was on BBC 4 last night? One of the band cut his finger and there was blood all over his guitar, I thought it was some weird design on the guitar but it was definitely blood! Is that a thing that happens them and often seen as they play so hard all the time?

They're in the Iveagh Gardens with Rolling Blackouts coastal fever and Murder Capital supporting Thursday week. I'm asking myself why i haven't got a ticket for that. Might have to rectify that.

Think that's his thing, at least each of the three times I've seen them. And he's Irish and a dentist I believe

You're absolutely correct. I don't know where I got that from.
