    They need one "biggie" to avoid a ****storm. The 'Mode fits that bill.

    Not sure they do, given the changing age demographic of the festival. A biggie now has to be a band that started this millenium. Most of Depeche Modes older fans died of heroin overdoses in the 90s anyway. :P

    Who is that spoofer on TodayFM that claimed Beyonce played EP before? Really bugs me when morons like that are given fairly high profile jobs despite their inability to do even the most basic bit of research.

    Ah it was the girl who reads the news - Kim Buckley, I think but I'm not sure if it was her this morning. Even Iano was like eh.... I dont think so.

    Imagine Jayz and Beyonce headlining EP!

    I think I'd be straight over to all together now instead

    ........ I have gotten no work done today.

    S Club 3 was last year. They'll have probably lost another member.

    Festival Republic, who organise Electric Picnic, also run festivals like Reading, Download, Community, Leeds and Latitude.

    Headliners at Reading Festival this year include Fall Out Boy, Kendrick Lamar, Panic at the Disco and Kings of Leon while Two Door Cinema Club, The Vaccines and You Me At Six will headline Community festival.

    Hmmm

    KENDRICK LAMAR MASSIVE ATTACK N.E.R.D

    DUA LIPA - BEN HOWARD - ST. VINCENT - KING KRULE
    GEORGE EZRA - THE KOOKS - JUNGLE - WOLF ALICE
    CHVRCHES - NINA KRAVIZ - CIGARETTES AFTER SEX - FRIENDLY FIRES
    GARBAGE - DERMOT KENNEDY - BENJAMIN CLEMENTINE - SIGRID
    JESSIE WARE - JORJA SMITH - MOUNT KIMBIE - TOM MISCH
    THE BLAZE - STEFFLON DON - PEGGY GOU
    YXNG BANE - FIELD MUSIC - ALEXIS TAYLOR - SEVDALIZA
    LUCY DACUS - LA FEMME - INNER CIRCLE - JORDAN RAKEI
    RAYE - GANG OF YOUTHS - NILUFER YANYA - SCARLXRD
    YELLOW DAYS - HAK BAKER - TOM TRIPP

    Kendrick is a great booking but beyond that I don't have a huge amount I'd be bothered about.

    St Vincent, King Krule, maybe Jungle and Wolf Alice?

    Very surprised to see the Kooks so high up that list. Are they still that popular here?
