Happy New Year Festival Freeeeeeks hope it will be a good one. why am I posting the video of the Stirling Castle fireworks display in Scotland in the Electric Picnic thread you may ask. Well the weather was the most mellow I've seen in Scotland around the festive season, in fact it was warmer than EP last year at night time and that's saying something.

Childish Gambino, Janelle Monae, Anderson .Paak, Charlotte Gainsbourg, SOPHIE, Yves Tumor, Let's Eat Grandma, Ross From Friends, Tame Impala, Solange, Kid Cudi, Christine & the Queens, Mac De Marco, Ty Segall & White Fence, Hop Along, Shame, Superorganism, Blood Orange, Pusha T, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Kaytranada, Jon Hopkins, Soccer Mommy, and Iceage would be a good addition to any festival line-up.

I know not all will be at EP, some are here at other festivals, some have played recently and some just won't sync up tour wise, but that'd be a very good line up IMO.

That said, I wouldn't drop $400 on it to be at Coachella. I'm not sure it would convince me to buy a ticket to EP but if I had one and the 20+ above were included, I'd be pretty thrilled.

Also, fair play to Dermot Kennedy. Decent poster positioning for him! Saw Shame on there and was hoping Fontaines DC might have been included too but no joy.

Jon Hopkins is playing Forbidden Fruit anyways, fingers crossed for Aphex tho as no Oxegen to swipe him this year unless Beatyard or Longitude manage to outbid him from EP.

Off the top of my head...

Anderson .Paak has two Olympia shows in March, shouldn't preclude him from the fests. Having been at Longitude last year, you'd have to say that's his least likely destination, with Forbidden Fruit also unlikely due to the timing (March then June?, not impossible but August/Sept seems more likely IMO)

Janelle Monae is at Trinity in July so I wouldn't expect her back again for any other Irish shows.

Christine & the Queens owes a sizable show having cancelled RDS last minute - has there been any other announcement there that I may have missed?

Mac De Marco was at Metropolis. His only European shows for 2019 so far are All Points East, Primavera and Best Kept Secret, all around end of May and the start of June - Forbidden Fruit maybe?

Blood Orange was at Metopolis too, may be due a return.

From my list, those are the only ones I have anything to add - and it's all speculation anyway!

Prefab Sprout album out on 1 Feb. No tour dates yet but they’d be one hell of an addition.

Thats a reissue of an older album, its not a new album, (although new one expected later this year)and the chances of them touring are slim to none, unfortunately. Saw them once at the Olympia, and they were superb, alas it will be my only time seeing them live i’d say so i am lucky.

It’s a remixed and remastered version of a 2003 Paddy McAloon solo album now credited to Prefab Sprout. Therefore technically a new PS album and it’ll be interesting to see what they’ve done with it. Not an easy listen but rewarding and it’ll get a hell of a lot more attention than it did fifteen years ago.

Dermot Kennedy billed ahead of 070 Shake at an American festival. Surprising, but also satisfying.

Got my tickets in the post yesterday, briefly quelled the despair of January

homosapien91 · 08-01-2019 11:08am

Tickets arrived this morning yay

jeditokingyoda · 08-01-2019 12:58pm

So we're well in the New Year now. Does this mean we might get an announcement some time soon, or did they literally mean new year as in next year...march... Any thoughts?

I would say around March we will get an announcement wouldn't hold my breath for one anytime soon

I'd say March at the earliest or more probably, an announcement about the announcement.

Stillill42 · 09-01-2019 12:38am

February for Alltogethernow. A really stellar line-up for them on the back of the National might make things interesting.
Then again, probably not. Death, taxes and a sold out EP appear to be the only things you can rely on these days.

Fatfrog · 09-01-2019 9:05pm

Tickets starting to show up on the Facebook group €300.... I think if you're crafty you could get face value.

BurtMacklin · 10-01-2019 12:09pm

I'm hoping Bon Iver makes the line up. They are playing all over this summer.

I would love him to be announced but I think he will be at all together now instead

It would make sense due to their ties with The National. I'd also be happy with that as I've a ticket for both.

That would be a very good line up for ATN for a second year, no? Like, I would definitely consider buying a ticket at that point.

Eod100 · 10-01-2019 9:13pm

Sounds from A Safe Harbour released dates for their festival lately. 12th to 15th September. The National and Bon Iver played both back in 2017. Not sure does that make it less/more likely that Bon Iver will play ATN or EP though, but could be a chance to catch them play here if they don't do any other festival dates here.

Mucker46 · 10-01-2019 11:58pm

Got tickets for talos gig in pepper cannister. Never been to a gig there so another one to notch off. Hope new album up to standard of first one which I thought was cracking.
