Would love this, I'm going to Nos alive as well as Ep, not enough rock or heavy music in nos as I'd like, hope ep isn't completely indie

Yeah, Metal is the forgotten genre at EP. Losing interest every year for this reason. No interest in Metallica but if they booked Kvelertak, who are supporting Metallica on their tour, I'd go for them alone.

What time are we expecting the lineup on Thursday?

Launch Party is in the evening, so I would guess 8.00-9.00

/edit

but from reading above, the launch was also int he eve last year so perhaps it will be earlier...

BullBlackNova · 21-03-2017 04:30PM

PR behind the launch just issued a photo call for 11.30am on Thursday so we should know all by lunch time it seems.

And remember everyone

If R-Word are not in the initial announcement, they're bound to be added later on as a surprise announcement a week or so before the event so keep plugging them in the thread, if it needs anything, it's more R-Word.

Maybe we could get it written into the rules of the thread?

Any mentions of the R-word, any questions about smuggling booze into the arena and any questions about which campsite is best = insta-ban.

Slobberdawn · 21-03-2017 04:46PM

Mogwai beginning a world tour in the UK on 8th September. They haven't played EP in at least two years so they might be added.

BadTurtle · 21-03-2017 04:47PM

Won't be going this year, but if I had to guess the headliners and sub headliners I'd say, in descending order of likeliness, about 4-5 of these:
Interpol
The xx
The Flaming Lips
PJ Harvey
Justice
The Shins
Flume
Run the Jewels
Sigur Ros
The Avalanches
The 1975
Lorde
Major Lazer
Jamiroquai
Frank Ocean
Gorillaz
Solange
Kasabian

That sounds pretty rough mate, I don't think that's something anyone should have to deal with, not sure I could quite put up with it so fair play... hopefully you get to move out of Laois in the near future.! :pac:

Well played, maestro!

bodhrandude · 21-03-2017 05:01PM

Glasgow Summer Sessions on 24th August, wouldn't mind Run the Jewels for EP.

stead · 21-03-2017 05:29PM

Don't see Eminem headlining but I can't help but entertain the thought. Glasgow Summer Sessions sold 35k tickets. What's EP's capacity, 50k+? I don't think size is what would rule him about, perhaps the style of the festival.

Size wouldn't but suitability plus fee would

Would love some of these. Would not be a bad bunch to select from if these were all the contenders for headliners and subs. The Shins played last year so I wonder if that would rule them out. Also would imagine the 1975 are ruled out for the same reason and because they are playing in Malahide Castle.

For the undercard I would personally be hoping for a few from London Grammar, Bonobo, Little Dragon, White Lies, Public Service Broadcasting, Jagwar Ma, HAIM, Soulwax, !!!, Chet Faker, Bicep, Joe Goddard. Although not too sure how likely any of them are bar maybe the first two!

bodhrandude · 21-03-2017 08:42PM

Would love Little Dragon, they are fecking brilliant, blew me away at Body & Soul festival 2012.

Any good places to get tents?

scruff monkey · 22-03-2017 08:30AM

Rise and shine folks!

Time to get the pitchforks and flaming torches ready!

I got a 6-man tent a couple of years ago in Argos for €160, it's great quality!

Halfords had a decent one on their website for 84 euro. Came with 4 sleeping bags and mats, but it doesn't seem to be available anymore. It still comes up when you search the halfords website, but the page 404's when you go to view it. Might pop into the store today and see if they have it.

Shall have another look in argos aswell so! Only need a 4 man and not gonna spend over 100 euro on it.

They sold out last September

Toutless is your only shot

Slobberdawn · 22-03-2017 11:04AM

Nine Inch Nails doing a US tour in the summer.

You won't get anything until about a week or two before the festival. I picked one up last year right at the end and there were plenty around at that time at a decent price.

sally cinnamon89 · 22-03-2017 11:12AM

Id like to see Royal Blood, Temples, King Gizzard, The Growlers

Also think that we could see Foals make an appearance

Yeah, friend and I were talking about the possibility of them playing. Would love it, but I don't see it happening.

Would love to see NIN there, but agree it's unlikely.

Don't think the lineup's going to blow me away, was hoping the likes of Orbital, Aphex Twin, Moderat & Air would be there.

Hopefully a few of these are announced:

Nick Cave
PJ Harvey
Soulwax
Tribe Called Quest
Jesca Hoop
Steve Mason
London Grammar
Grandaddy

Electric Ireland: Betty Boo

If that was the FULL line up I'd be happy!!!!
Saw soulwax for the first time last year and they completely exceeded my expectations!

Poorside · 22-03-2017 12:26PM

Hope Frank & Walters are there, again.

PabloAndRoy · 22-03-2017 12:26PM

Very much looking forward to the line up announcement ... especially for the moaning on the FB page ... all the "who the fvck are Soulwax?". "Nick Cave and Grandaddy? Is this for old people?" . I love it!
