    They're not

    Not yet. Unless they have gigs boooked elsewhere theres a good chance they'll be added.

    Any more details/inside info about when the next announcement might be? It is usually around the beginning of June IIRC. I wonder if it will be a list of some of the other bands that were mentioned months ago

    Not getting this talk of 'all the trimmings' from the EP insider. Trenchtown, vendors, etc voluntary would have thought? Sponsors also supplying a lot of the 'trimmings' now too. Understand festival would have to subsidize Body&Soul for their acts & art installations while looks the business & very tasteful doesn't appear that costly to produce.

    I'm not sure how Festival Republic operate but I assume that even though EP sells out the money spend on its line up may still be reduced due to their other festivals not doing as well.

    So I don't know who's going to be in the next announcement, why don't they just tell us.

    Not very investigative of the journalist not to press his source further on these suspicions.

    They can't announce it until they know if boscos restoration was a success or not.

    Pendulum headlining the Saturday of Weekender festival in Jersey, Surely they're a shoe in for the Friday night dance slot then

    Here's hoping!

    I'm a fan of The xx but I know plenty aren't and will want something heavier for the Fri night.
    Although, Pete Tong could be the dance act for the Friday night?

    Due to the Field Day stream of Aphex Twin, I'd like to think the EP committee would commit, a colourful act to light up the Electric Arena plus he does have that Irish connection. But as Weirdcore his visual producer says, one concert per country every few years is a normal Aphex Twin tour.

    Given how late it's getting, i'm wondering if we'll be waiting till after Glastonbury before we get an announcement.

    They (EP) answered someone recently on Facebook, just said they are waiting for dates to be confirmed or something to that effect.

    It would be great if they didn't have to confirm dates and just sprung the news upon us.

    They've self declared themselves for EP i think, someone posted a link a while back to a tour schedule with EP on it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,539 ✭✭✭ghostdancer


    yeah I checked the other day as trying to work out my Glasto clashes, they still have EP up on their website.

    Best electronic set I ever experienced last Sunday.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,098 ✭✭✭Poorside


    Went to Eddie Vedder last night, absolutely smashed it, by hell would he do some job at EP.
    It was the first time he's ever played Jeremy in his solo show and it will live long in my memory.

    Kinda holding out hope that some how gorillaz will be announced now that the demon dayz festival is finished.... They could make a quick stop at picnic between San Fransisco and New York, there's a bit of a gap between the dates. PLEASE.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,002 ✭✭✭✭bodhrandude

    Thought you'd still be buzzing after aphex twin!!'

    Yeah loved it and have watched all the clips of his last 5 shows but one day festivals is not the same as proper weekend away festivals, plus FF was a shorter set and there was still a sh1t load of tracks missing, I was psyched to hear that new track which he didn't play, and he knows he should have played it as the real Aphex Twin heads would have lapped it up. This is the track.
