The most viewed music video ever on YouTube, so shows what you know.

They're both playing the Saturday at EOTR too so it just leaves the Sunday

Sunday is beginning to get crowded

Yeah, it was just an attempt at a gag. Nailed it!

I was at Despacio in 2015, didn't really see the appeal of it tbh.

I see soulwax on the poster, is it radio soulwax as in 2 many dj's?

You know it will be a good picnic when......

...your kids, whose standard reaction to your attempts to play your own music in the car is howls of anguish, join you in an ear-splitting rendition of the chorus to Car Seat Headrest's 'Drunk drivers / Killer whales'. I'm welling up just thinking about it.

No one that will admit to it.

Nope it's just Soulwax, as in 2ManyDJ's, who did do the Radio Soulwax project

No, it's the same 2 guys, but they also have a live music band just called Soulwax. If you like their 2manydjs sets though, you might indeed like their own music. Their most recent album FROM DEEWEE is excellent.

Jaysus I wouldn't be relying on Youtube views to rate songs as good or bad. Didn't that Korean bloke get a couple of billion views?

Do you think there's any chance of getting him in the final announcement? We need a big name to save the Picnic

:pac:

Thank you I'll give it a listen. Seen 2manydjs on the main stage way back when.. unreal

I have to say I made great use of that bar last year, it always seemed to be dead quiet so a handy place to stock up on pints. I have no idea what they were trying to achieve with the "motel" section of it though, rarely seen anyone in there or anything much going on. Might be more to it this year but I'd just pass it off as another corporate installation that's not worth a second glance to be honest.

I hope not. Trump might mistake him for that other nut job Korean and launch a couple of nukes. Normally I'd condone that sort of thing for Laois but not the weekend of the picnic.

bodhrandude · 14-08-2017 05:18PM

Just spotted this the week before the Picnic in London, obviously Madness is already at EP but some other nice acts there that would make a juicy final announcement.

You didn't see the appeal of a kick ass sound system playing excellent dance music for the night? Do you go to the Picnic for just the food or something?

Despacio was class

D.Q · 14-08-2017 05:27PM

Trying to put together a list of the heavier sort of bands playing, I need loud guitars and drums at various points over the weekend to keep me going.

So far:

New valley wolves
Bitch falcon
Wolff
Otherkin

Probably throw the hot sprockets into that group as well.

Any other recommendations to check out?

Brand new friend, little bit tamer but decent.

Its probably something the lineup is lacking but Car Seat Headrest, Japandroids and Pond are quite heavy in parts.

HairyCabbage · 14-08-2017 05:43PM

Does anyone know how I'd be able to find/ or if there is a bus organised by anyone going from Dundalk?

Ah FFS. Is that necessary?

No, I didn't particularly like it. It was a very large set of speakers playing very loud dance music. I went in, stayed a while and said "this isn't for me" so I went off and watched a band or something.

Wonder if there's a chance of 2manydjs doing a set?

Hot tubs and yoga classes up for booking, if that's your thing.
