Hadn't heard them before I started my homework but I get a Gaslight Anthem vibe off them.

Liking it

I've gone back a dozen pages or so but can't find the name of the band playing this year that someone said are similar to The Avett Brothers who were my gig of the festival last year.

Anyone know which band it is??

I'll be amazed if Liam Gallagher or JAMC don't fill that guitar shaped hole in the lineup by the way.

That's the one.

Could we see London Grammar subbing The XX???

scruff monkey · 01-07-2017 01:30AM

Guessing there's no chance of Miss Charlotte and her late night pop dungeon now.

I am disappoint.

Tago Mago · 01-07-2017 04:53AM

Must be a very strong possibility Trinity Orchestra do Sgt Peppers given the 50th anniversary & such....

Not given up hope on Jamie T to fill this guitar shaped hole. Similar status wise to Skepta from the third announcement last year. Enough nostalgia elsewhere on the line up.

She's pregnant, will be heavily so by time of EP. From a recent Guardian interview I think she said the baby was due in November. Hopefully there next year as that show sounds like the proper way to round off a night.

And I love her politics too.

thebusher · 01-07-2017 09:01AM

Will check out Bears Den. Thanks

announced that she had a miscarriage only last week.
probably won't be doing the festivals either way.

Charlie · 01-07-2017 10:29AM

Watched Liam Gallagher at Glastonbury. ****, what a missed opportunity EP

01-07-2017 11:01AM

Seeing as the xx are there, can we hedge bets on jamie xx playing or is that out of the question

Ah no. That's sad news. She's had a tough few years. Hope she'll be ok.

Just head new Laura Marking stuff on the Huey Show. Sounding great. Any chance she'd return, this year or next? Or still upset with the EP pundits.

Made a very rash decision this week and sold my Picnic ticket, then booked a Bestival one. €40 return flights to Bristol, and a shuttle bus from there. Have never gone to a festival outside of Ireland, eben though I've been going to festys now for 13yrs(I'm usually too skint

) also booking Primavera 2018 tickets when they come out(Barcelona leg). I know I would've enjoyed Picnic, I always always do, but thought I'd just take a gamble on Bestival!

Yea great plan! Me personally I really like having the car there as a back up, somewhere I can store passport, cards and spare cash!
Bestival is on my hit list but logistically a night mare trying to take a car out there!!
Will have to take a leap of faith at some point and fly over! Will you end up stashing your passport somewhere in the tent or a locker on site?

Edit: I see its moved location from the Isle of wight to Dorset, that makes things a bit easier

Reggie noble · 01-07-2017 05:29PM

What are the chances of frank cater and the rattle snakes , machine gun Kelly , Charlie XcX and linkin park been added to next announcement ?

Yes the move to Dorset defo helped me with my decision to go! I'd imagine we'll get a locker, there's a few of us like, and the oul'passports are v.v.v.important obviously. I'll report back with a full review of it, 500words or more

They headlined Primavera & Jamie xx played a mini DJ set from the main stage seemingly following their own stuff. Be kinda cool.

He played a few b2b sets at glasto which were included in the lineup, he may have popped up elsewhere unannounced I don't know. If he isn't scheduled to do anything else at picnic he probably won't but you never know. I wouldn't be surprised to see him at the rave in the woods after The xx are done.

Should defo be attempts made by organizers. Rave in the Woods would be an amazing setting for his solo stuff.

Watching few you tube videos of Annie mac...really like her

Tickets sorted today at last. 480 wasn't too bad.
