For some time now my two main hopes, certainly regarding 'bigger' names, are Leftfield doing the 'Leftism' set & Iggy as he wraps up the Post Pop Depression tour.

Was talking with a friend who is good friends with Neil Barnes and they definitely don't seem to be booked for this year.

Thanks to whoever pointed out the €35 tents in Aldi, just ran down and picked one up along with an inflatable mattress. Brilliant price, only hope there won't be a sea of Aldi tents at picnic! Which reminds me, (as a newbie to picnic) what was the best way to find your tent in the pitch dark? Especially if there will be a lot of similar tents in the crowd?

Solar fairy lights, glow in the dark guy ropes, something like that. Bring a small torch everywhere with you and it shouldn't be too much of a problem. Just pick a few recognisable tents on your way to the main arena - an odd looking tent or gazebo beside yours, a recognisable one at the point where you have to leave the walking tracks to get to yours etc. The torch will also stop you breaking your neck on the web of ropes that inevitably happens with so many tents in close proximity

Leave a bag of cans outside.

They're not. I asked Barnes after the Brixton gig and he confirmed no booking. I've asked my pal who plays with them several times over the past few months and reported the negative feedback here. They are however available, just not been approached. And I'd say they're not all that expensive but my pal has no idea how much they change as he just gets a wage per gig. Still some hope I guess, but if EP was bothered about booking them they'd surely have asked by now.

Pity, still short a sub headline dance act in my eyes, stars would have seemed to have aligned & would make perfect sense....

Bat Signal works for me.

nah, you'll work it out from landmarks in the campsite. In line with such and such a tree, or parallel with this shop or whatever.

(almost) All of the above comments are spot on but do remember that the first time you leave your tent it will be daylight and when you return it will be dark and there will probably be a lot more tents around ...

Also, before you leave for the first time, get your location on google maps and save that spot in your favourites list. Accurate to a few metres. This method works in the dark but is subject to some battery life being available at end of night.

It would make total sense as I have mentioned once or several times before
Leftism 22 Continue the pestering of Festival Republic.

My grandmother told me "never trust a man who diggles ducks".

she was a wise woman

2 things know ye of the wise woman
1. She is wise
2. She is a woman

p.s. So as I'm not seen as some Leftfield stalker all the time...
I'd also like to see some of Otherkin, Fangclub,Cabbage, The Blinders, James, The Charlatans, Ride, Slowdive, King Kong Company, in the next announcement, confident on a couple of the Irish bands there being added

So when does the annual Electric Picnic weather prediction discussion start? It's either going to be sunny, wet, cloudy, dry or a combination of all 4. You heard it here first.

Not till next Thursday. you blew your load too quickly. Tragic.

Heard Declan McKenna is playing this year:
