I don't know if you're on Facebook but if you look at LCDs page and scroll down a bit James Murphy posted a big statement back in January explaining how they came back from the dead. I'll copy and paste it here if you want but it's quite long and most people probably don't care.

Is that the piece that starts with 'Lets just start this thing with some clarity...'

Just curious at what sparked the decision for LCD to reform, I know Hot Chip and Despacio were playing the same festivals at various times, I'm just wondering if the Bruce cover that Hot Chip done which merged with the end of All my friends, I wonder if Murphy had seen that and was inspired again and of course the guitarist who is in both groups.

I saw them in 2005 at Oxegen, 2010 at EP and this year at Primavera. Disappointed with the Primavera one, just felt their heart wasn't in it.

question to all the people who can't wait for the LCD set at EP

did you see them before they broke up?

i'm not being snobby, just missing out on all these feelz :-(

it's the SAME set as 2010 EP or 2010 tripod! give or take

saw them 3 times before they stopped, Glastonbury last week was equal with Tripod 2010 as the best of them.

bodhrandude that hot chip cover is really good, id hope that the cover plus doing the Christmas song inspired them to come back together. I mean given Murphy's stance on the whole thing, I'd doubt they'd come back for just money. Then again you can't blame them for coming back for the money, I mean all of us here would take it.

Can someone that knows these things tell me if Jeff Lynne's ELO are still available around picnic? I know theyre probably too big to be announced now, but I'm watching the Hyde park documentary on the telly right now and my god I bet theyre exceptional live.

Just bought (overpriced) tickets online from ebay; Haven't missed EP since I first went 5 years ago but tickets sold out really early this year! I hope its worth it. Now to get organised for the festival- Cant wait :rolleyes:

Never liked LCD, but watched the Glastonbury set and I was pleasantly surprised by their performance. So much so that I spotified the fook out of them this week... and yeah, I still think they're one of the most overrated bands in the last decade.

didn't see them then and I hear the setlist thing but the setlist is not the gig, it's the location, the friends you're with, the mood you're in, are the band going through the motions or actually feeling the emotion of the crowd and feeding off it.

I am really really really looking forward to them

Is there anywhere to watch the Glastonbury set? Didn't get to see it myself.

I Dunno was watching through Filmon, was watching Chvrches and it suddenly shut off as the schedule was 10 minutes late there is a block in filmon screening Euro matches which was following Glasto so the ending was cut off by 10 minutes, currently watching LCD on the Roskilde stream.

Lcd soundsystem on now. Class. Cannot wait to see them at EP!!

New Order was on earlier too watched some of that, Peaches was mental earlier some good tunes. I've watched so much different festival streams now with LCD I'm sticking with the Glastonbury highlights show on BBC 2, its quite interesting a track from each possible clashing act in a sort of time scale. I got the LCD Glasto rip that will be good enough till EP, although Glasto will probably show the all my friends or the daft punk is playing at my house clip.

Biffy Clyro, BadBadNotGood, Young Thug, Tenacious D, LCD Soundsystem, M83, New Order, Mo, David August, few others.

Think it has been going since Wednesday or Thursday so might have already missed a good bit of it.

That's a shame on the size of the crowd, they have a rep for loudness though

The crowd was small but the place was buzzing. :cool:

Any other goodies hidden in the line-up? Recommendations appreciated.

Margaret Glapsy and Basia Bulat on other voices.
Karl Blau on OV is getting some airplay on 6music but not mad on him myself.

Meilyr Jones is pretty good.
Pumarosa have a good track 'priestess' don't know much about them bar that.

Thanks for the info. Love the two Karl Blau tracks I've heard so will check him out more. Caught Meilyr Jones at Field Day, good but not unmissable. The others I know nothing about so the tips are very welcome.

On a scale of 1 to 10 for loudness, Leftfield were a 13. Bass went through you. Great sound and the new album is cracking. They needed a bigger crowd, about 900 there max. They would be spot on for the main stage or the Electric Arena!

King Kong company closed the salty dog last year on Sunday night. They rocked the place!! They're an Irish band so I'd expect to see them back again this year.

How loud were leftfield??

Have seen King Kong at the salty dog last year. Their sound is crisper now since Neill McLellan produced their album imo. An excellent opener to Leftfield and deserve a spot in the main arena at EP to help them reach a wider audience. The place was electric! On a scale of 1 to 10 for loudness, Leftfield were a 13.

Just back from seeing leftfield and king kong at Daytripper. Have to say both sets were cracking. If EP have not got these two in the next announcement, they will have sorely missed out. Some athmosphere, the sound and visuals from Leftields set were something to behold.

Are leftfield doing the full band thing at the moment or just dj sets?

Every time I click Channel 1 for the National I keep getting this African band, even though they are alright.

Edit: Ha ha its a African group called Tal National, I thought it was the National.

Haven't seen it announced anywhere else, or on the EP lineup, but The Magician has EP listed on his tour schedule....

Saturday/Sunday 7/8pm slot in one of the tents would be absolutely magical....
