Electric Picnic 2017 **Discussion Only // No Ticket Sales**

I'd say The XX are headliners nowadays but I probably agree with you on ATCQ (who I'm really looking forward to seeing) and Duran Duran at least for a festival this size. I think FR are definitely trying to save a bit of money this year especially when you see European festivals like Best Kept Secret (which is half the capacity of EP) with Radiohead and Arcade Fire headlining.

ATCQ do have Massive Attack moments in their sound, they certainly aren't glib the pop rap of Outkast, it will be interesting to see who they'll be up against when the day splits are announced. Weather also being a determining factor into how the outdoor stages aka main stage and most of Body & Soul or other areas too do, could mean crammed in marquees.

I need to stop reading this thread now. I knew a few months ago that id be starting a new job at the end of August and I knew I wouldn't be able to get time off for picnic so no picnic for me this year unfortunately. It's the first one I've missed since 2012 I think sad face isn't enough. I hope ye all have an excellent time and the sun shines every day! Unfollowing thread

Attention Bebe is either B&S main stage, Earthship, Bandstand or one of the many other stages in B&S, you will have to wait for the breakdowns and names of other stages of which I've no idea yet.

According to this New Jackson is playing Body & Soul, he's also playing the Other Voices stage and somewhere else as David Kitt, he's going to be a busy one!

That pete tong video above is classssss

Doe anyone have a Google Play Music playlist that they can share ?

Old farts don't use Spotify like the young folk.

?

Google Music started in 2011

Spotify started in 2008

I think this is more of a case of smarter people using Spotify not "young folk".

I don't understand the "smart" logic ..

/s <--- in case this is not obvious

Edit: truth is that back in the day, the Spotify mobile app was godawful and I went with Google which worked much better for my needs. Now I have a family account and there is pretty much no turning back.

Pablo! A week to go, buddy. Stop picking fights! Stick on a bit of Real Estate and picture yourself on a bail of hay in Cathy Davey's corner of Stradbally with a nice cool beer in your paw.

You have a point ... cool beer ... yes .. thats better!

tbh I'm fairly glad about this - if people are being turned off by the lineup that's fine, it's my kind of lineup and I would rather spend the weekend with people who were on a similar wavelength!

Same, it's my kind of line up too.
After having not such a great time in 2015 (mainly cuz we camped in Hendrix ) i decided not to go last year, but I couldn't pass up this years line up, 2 out of the 3 headliners are must sees for me! (that being the xx and duran duran).

Just discovering some of A Tribe Called Quest's discography and loving it, real old school rap.

Someone here recommended this:
