I haven't seen the Busher around in a while. He was talking about it maybe being his last picnic last year. I hope we haven't lost him.

I think he said at EP that he wouldn't be able to make it this year, I think for some family scheduling conflict, but I don't think he was giving up on it. He is going to Glastonbury.

I'd wager a fair few of you will be at this:

Tickets going quickly, all standing gone I think. I'd not hesitate on grabbing them. You're not going to see the Fontaines in such a small venue for quite a while.

Deadmau5 playing Cork during the summer so probably ruled out for EP.

Thanks for the heads up, that passed me by completely. Speed is of the essence. I just got a ticket but only upper circle available.

It was only announced circa 3pm. You did well to get one. Enjoy the evening.

Even though im not the biggest fan of KOL anymore since there shambles of a headline slot at Oxegen 09 (the year before was way better), if they were to be announced and played a similiar enough set to this id probably go see them.

I'd love to see them open up with Molly Chamber imo ha

Anyone thinking Red Hot Chili Peppers? like the Strokes last year they’re headlining a few festivals over the summer and have nothing booked in September

Wouldn't be in any rush to see them. Remember how terribly boring they were that time at Oxegen a few years ago.

Could get behind KOL playing tbh, decent back catalogue and would draw a crowd.

I think we already established they are in a different continent the same weekend so unlikely id say.

Out of who's touring, The Black Keys are doing a few shows in Canada up to the middle of May. Maybe a few European dates coming soon?

God no, saw them once and that was enough. God awful

And as shown on The Good Place, purposefully spending money on that band is a one way ticket to damnation.

Thank f.u.c.k, kol most overrated and boring acts out there, I wouldn't say they're cheap either..

I don't know if this was mentioned but I believe there is no throwback stage from Electric Ireland this year.

That was good craic and always a bit of buzz around the place.

Stillill42

I've never spent time there but it would be a loss alright. Big changes this year no doubt.

Rage for EP?

Just confirmed on EP facebook page

RRRRRRAAAAAAAAGGGGGEEEEEE **** YEAH

AHHHHHGGGHHH HOLY CRAP ITS THE RAGE!!!!!!

Monsieur Folie

Fair play to Festival Republic if this is confirmed. We are definitely benefitting from having R&L the weekend before.

Poorside

That's unreal.

IMO that is one of the most random headline bookings ever from Electric Picnic. Not necessarily in a bad way, but I did not see that coming at all and would wonder how many EP goers are big RATM fans.

Furious-Red

I feel sorry for R&L as this is the 2nd headliner to announce before their announcement ha

Looks like they are doing the Friday according to those dates as they are Berlin on the Sunday

Premature announcement? Hardly an elaborate hack?

Wasn't meant to be until after Reading and Leeds had their announcement
