    unimpressed.

    I'd settle for an announcement about an announcement at this stage..

    Disclosure released a new track at the weekend, could see them being added, it's been a few years since they played. 2013 I think, open to correction, didn't they close the main stage?

    Does anyone know how to contact Ticketmaster about my EP tickets? I have tried calling them a few times over the past 2 weeks and I just keep getting a message that no one is available and then the call disconnects.

    It says on their website that the payment failed and they have charged me an extra €9. Even though it was the same card with the same details as the last payment.

    Interestingly, when it took me to the App store, top of the pile in the 'you might also like' suggestions was the 'ultimate fart button'. A withering put-down of the early line-up.

    No sign of ‘The Haunt’ either, that was a great addition last year.

    It might turn up at Body & Soul festival this year which would be a nice surprise.

    Was at Cigarettes After Sex last night in The Olympia. Extremely laid back, mellow band, which I thought was great. But they lose the crowd easily because of a lack of energy. Could be very easily ruined at a festival if the crowd get chatty.

    I'm really like the line up. Each to their own I guess.
    I'm now just hoping for this weather we're getting now to replicate come Electric Picnic.. think of the side boob!

    100 days to go folks.

    I'm a EP veteran, but at this stage the "holding back the announcement" thing is really beginning to grind my gears. At this stage...

    The longer they hold off the longer before we have to be disappointed/listen to the outrage at the announcement.

    Possibles are My Bloody Valentine, Paul Weller and The Libertines with an outside chance of Arcade Fire as a headliner moving NERD to subbing for Kendrick.

    I reckon there are loads of decent mid-tier acts heading our way, some of which could be Jeff Tweedy, Sleeper, Sunflower Bean, Gwenno, King Gizzard, Squeeze, De La Soul, The Orielles, Gaz Coombes, Happy Mondays, Sleaford Mods & Shed Seven. Would be happy with a few of those.

    Yeah it will be seven years since they last played EP which is a sizeable gap.

    NERD has stood out to me as a mad booking. Playing prior to Kendrick makes sense, but "bringing the festival home" on the Sunday night is lunacy.
