They sold out the 3 dates (total of 39,000) last year, they would be one of the biggest draws in Ireland and are too big (In Ireland) to even play EP let alone be sub headliner's.

The days of EP paying top dollar for BIG international acts is well gone and won't be coming back

Hahahaha ffs. Kendrick Lamar is far bigger than Kings of Leon right now son, wakey wakey.

I think arctic monkeys could still be a small shout and announced late like blur.. possibly didn't want to be announced in the first wave knowing they wer announcing there 3 arena gigs.. very unlikely but not impossible

I think there's probably more chance of them headlining next year, I imagine they'll be touring this new album for a while.

is it that impossible? Noel G was added after the headliners
and he's a huge act,

I would say more "big name" than "huge act".

To be honest, I think he has limited appeal. Those who do like him are fanatical. Personally I think he is VERY overrated.

I do like him on that Christmas thing with Steve Lamacq on't radio. He is pretty funny on that and does have some decent taste in music. Maybe he should take up a radio DJ job.

Kings of Leon will never play the picnic. no chance and certainly not below any of the current main names - we have our headliners.

The horrors are a shoe in - playing Dumfries the night before - last album was great

Don't you go getting my hopes up!!!!!!!!!!

Just saw on Twitter that St Vincent debuted a full band rock show with new visuals at Coachella. Looks incredible and I'm really looking forward to EP now.

it'll be on Stream 1 here around 3PM (can skip back a few hours to to see earlier acts):

2009 .....thats the model........this shows how downhill the lineups went. I'm going since 2006,love the buzz but looking back on that....2many djs are missing off that as well

Arcade Fire doing festivals up to mid August in Europe, a shoe-in I reckon ðŸ˜႒

Hope not, tedious enough.

That's a great line up but so was Oxegen 07 08 09 but a lot of people who went to the picnic didn't go to Oxegen for obvious reasons. Yeah that line up was great but the competition at the time was probably better

Picnic 2007 lineup beat Oxegen out the gate imo, all opinions i suppose:

Was looking at a bit of the coachella stream, a bit of first aid kit, Borns, Brockhampton, looking at the vacant channel 1 oddly that shows a backstage background but you can hear the brockhampton set from a tent nearby ha ha. What time is David Byrne being repeated tonight looks about midnight/1 AM.

Can you link me up BD?

Here's the link it doesn't kick off again till 11.30 PM here, but it looks like the Saturday repeats are finished will probably jump over to the Coachella Reddit thread and try to get torrent for David Byrne set.
