I wonder when we are going to get the next announcement.

What date was the second announcement last year? Had in my head it was early june-ish.

Extract the digit, EP.
Waiting & waiting & waiting.....

EIREDriver · 12-06-2017 07:40PM

Two questions:

1) Is there usually only one announcement of further acts? -Scrolled back through the news from last year and could only find one.

2) Will they "announce the announcement"? - eg. FB post/press release telling us an announcement is coming?

Getting fed up of waiting!

MadYaker · 12-06-2017 07:46PM

I hope they have an announcement to announce when the announcement is going to be, just so I can watch everyone get angry on Facebook.

mgkelly · 12-06-2017 08:04PM

They seem to like to 'announce the announcement' alright - make a big show of it!
I also seem to remember that there'll be more than one further announcement. They like the dribs & drabs approach, to a extent! There'll probably be a biggish one, then smaller (which can actually be very tasty) e.g. Jerry Fish, Body & Soul acts, etc.
Don't be over on the Facebook page. Do they really get angry?! What's the point? Does anyone ever really listen?!
:wassat:

MadYaker · 12-06-2017 08:12PM

The EP Facebook page could put up a post saying water is wet and people would get angry about it.

Here is confirmation of the worst kept secret ever by the Electric Picnic

SachaJ · 12-06-2017 10:55PM

LCD announced 7 nights in a row in NY starting from Friday night. Also said they are playing a lot of gigs soon. Hardly 2 years in a row but then again they will have a new album to tour?

we're going to be playing a LOT in the near future, so they're certainly not worth getting on a plane for, in our opinion. it's NOT a finite resource. it is certainly 100% not worth paying some crazy amount over face value for them. we're playing in other places this year, a lot, and that's likely close to wherever it is you live (unless you live far from things, which i'm sorry about - but it still wouldn't be worth flying to these.)

James also has issues with capitalisation.....

That would be class. Make it so EP

SoundOfSilence · 13-06-2017 09:24AM

That would be epic. I'd honestly be happy to see LCD every single goddam year at the picnic.

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

They and Knife Party are at SW4 the weekend before, so hopefully both would make it to EP.

I'll be at SW4, would be great to see them both over two weekends

If the next announcement is after 20 June is a little speculation allowed about the Oxford lads?

Not gonna happen. They've said in recent interviews that this tour ends in Tel Aviv in July and they've no further gigs planned.

Of course you meant Foals. Any mention of the other Oxford band that isn't Supergrass is punishable by death.

Even the mods have given up trying to stop people stoning the guilty of this heinous crime.

Slobberdawn · 13-06-2017 03:40PM

This lady has self-confirmed.

Didn't think so, just unrealistic hopefulness. No huge acts likely but surely one from Libertines or Foals?

You might have meant Ride?

MS291988 · 14-06-2017 11:30AM

any idea when the next announcement of bands are?

thanks

everlast75 · 14-06-2017 11:34AM

they are getting later and later each year with the announcements. Its p*ssing a lot of people off, myself included. My main gripe is that I try to brush up on the bands that I'd never heard of to see if I will enjoy them and perhaps even know a few of the songs before I go.

Furious-Red · 14-06-2017 11:44AM

I can see either Flume or Pendulum being the friday night dance act

PinkCamper · 14-06-2017 12:11PM

Flume at Bumbershoot in Seattle that weekend. Also Haim. Thought we'd see Haim for sure

Last 2 years have been Underworld and The Chemical Brothers. Massively disappointed if The XX are the Friday night dance act

they were brutal on Jools last week.

I thought they were alright, my expections were quite low though

Brutal is bad, isn't it?! In some parlance, it can be the opposite.
Anyhow, I saw them & found them to be 'twee' & uninteresting.
.....and that's being unkind to 'twee' since I am a bit of a fan of the twee-pop movement!

drunkmonkey · 14-06-2017 06:13PM

Any chance we could see an Elrow party there's one at glasto seems like a good fit for the picnic.
