New editors album isn't bad, they should get them again.

Seen as the kooks playing they should get a few more bands from that era , maybe some Maximo park , the futureheads , the rakes (get them out of retirement)

Roger Daltrey has a new solo album out, heard some of it on Planet Rock last night, very soul oriented.

His last solo tour was brilliant and this year's line up could benefit from an elder statesman or two.

MadYaker · 18-03-2018 12:31PM

Too big a name to be announced now I’d think? If he was playing he’d surely headline. Could be wrong though.

Well, Robert Plant was a sub headliner when he played a few years ago. I wouldnt be amazed to see Roger announced at the top of the next raft of announcements.

Ideal Sunday act if played a few who classics along with his own stuff.

Would love to see Daltrey again. Was great with The Who a few years back in Marley Park. Would be great in EA but if he were to play I'm sure he would be put on the main stage.

I guess that’s my concerns that they might not be great live, wiped out. Hearing teardrop live will be awesome.

They are brilliant live. This will be the 4th time I'll have seen them in 11 years. Wanna be someone decent for me to miss them

Could benefit from more than an elder statesman.

i was thinking similar for old legacy acts, the John Forgerty and Steve Miller gig that got announced for Dublin just before the EP launch, would loved to have seen them on the bill too.

Nah. They weren't anything special in the 00s, they're hardly likely to have improved since spending a decade in the wilderness.

I'm glad to have seen the back of the mediocre to ****e indie of the last decade. I'll take the mediocre to ****e pop/r n b of today anytime.

bodhrandude · 18-03-2018 06:44PM

This is pretty amazing, will probably check her out.

Synode · 18-03-2018 07:37PM

Half page ad for the Picnic in the Indo today and no mention of Body&Soul. Something weird going on there if you ask me

Jeez, BD, that is some video! And yes, quite a song. Bodes well. As a lot of people have alluded to, if one explores a little, there is some very good stuff in the initial announcement.
As for the complaint that 'not much electronica' - jeez, there seems to be loads of it. This is one excellent example, I think.

This is really cool, ill definitely try and see her.

Jorja Smith sounds good too.

haitens · 18-03-2018 11:55PM

Yeah if they do get rid of it Other Voices should be bigger. But hope they don't for me B&S is a big part of the picnic

Mr.S wrote: »

Noticed that.

Sloppy creative work or are B&S pulling back and reducing their presence at the festival?

They are still going to be there (still on the website, and they're on the press release) but it's a bit odd they took them off any ads / posters.

I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if they tone it down and eventually pull out, they have their own festival which is now essentially an early-days EP.

If they do tone it down a bit, I hope they move Other Voices into that area as well, such a shame they shove them into the forrest on that tiny setup.

Still Ill · 19-03-2018 12:52AM

Started checking out the acts on the line up I didn't know.. Really liking Gang of Youths and absolutely LOVING Hak Baker.

BadTurtle · 19-03-2018 07:19AM

One of those inconsistencies between posters for the festival- Sleaford Mods are on the one St Vincent posted on facebook.

Was there anything else different? Seems to be the same now

BadTurtle · 19-03-2018 12:00PM

Just Sleaford Mods I'm afraid. Bit of a come down from Phoenix last year.

scruff monkey · 19-03-2018 12:07PM

True but v.early days yet, what ever about Phoenix, elbow were not announced till later still.

Sleaford Mods are maybe the sort of band that are better in small doses but they're great live and would be definitely worth checking out if they do get added (even if you end up hating them it's hard not to be impressed by their conviction)

BadTurtle · 19-03-2018 01:13PM

Saw a bit of them at Glastonbury and just found it completely surreal. Like wandering into a lock-in where the drunkest lads have just started rapping.

Yes but we have a better local homegrown version with more humour but still on message in Jinx Lennon. Not to be missed live for sheer anger , energy and humour in well balanced amounts. "
Forgive the C**ts!"

Check out The Blaze. Nice electronic music and fantastic music videos

Reggie noble · 19-03-2018 03:41PM

Bloc party playing 3 arena in October , just announced it there . Would've loved them at EP ðŸ˜€

Thom Yorke has announced a solo European tour.
May-June.
Only one festival on the list- Sonar in Barcelona.
No Irish dates.
Radiohead might still be a possibility

Radiohead wouldn't exactly fit in with the demographic that E.P is now aiming for.

Furious-Red · 19-03-2018 05:51PM

Would be a great act , plenty of hits to fill 60-90 min set
