Anyone heard Florence and the Machines new song?
Very catchy.
Would love to see her.

Cant see Picture This playing since they already have the RDS/Belsonic/Marquee gigs

As far as I can remember, I forgot to ask.

The gig was great though!

Debut album?

I am utterly loving the Ciggies after Sex album, gonna be interesting to see what time they are on at, any noise bleed is going to utterly kill their vibe.

They are a kinda Grateful Dead/Jesus and the Mary Chain clash of sound if that makes any sense.

scruff monkey · 25-05-2018 01:09PM

No, that does not make any sense, they to me sound like a sexy Mazzy Star/ felt mountain era Goldfrapp combo after over doing it on the sleepy sleepy dozey nighty night pills whilst being tag team massaged by elements of Morcheeba and the Aloof.

Speaking of which, Morcheeba have a gaping tour hole where they could slot into EP quite nicely.

Slightly embarrassed to admit but the first few times I listened to it I thought the lead singer was female.. Brilliant album, looking forward to them

you're not the only one

They have a tiny desk concert!

It's utterly jarring when he talks.

Hazel Wood would be fantastic for them, late late at night.

Nice and late to wind down the day.. Hazel Wood be great but I expect they'll be in one of the tents.. B&S main stage would have been class for them also.

Did we ever find out if body and soul are there this year....missing from the original poster if I remember.

Body and soul shown in the updated app, think its safe to assume they will be there.

Whats the current relationship between B&S and EP? Are they both festival republic? If I was part of all together now I'd be doing everything in my power to bring b&s there. Although the EP site is perfectly moulded for B&S, they're a complementary pair. Its hard to imagine one without the other.
I think for veteran EP'ers it would be unthinkable to have anything but B&S in that area! It would be like replacing a child....

B&S run their own festival about the same size and same type of vibe as All Together Now.
if anything, ATN seems to be a direct rip-off and competitor to B&S, almost everything about it seems to be based on B&S festival. can't see why they'd have anything to do with ATN.

Is Spraoi not doing the decor for ATN, Spraoi would be similar to the B&S crowd and Macnas in Galway.

Microdisney back together I see. Have to be a possibility.

Think they’re just doing the dates in Dublin and London and that’s it for the moment.

It's Radiohead.

I would actually be kinda disappointed if it was, given the rest of the headliners, that would make it a complete and utter sausage fest and rather a po-faced one at that.

We do need a big poppy act for balance and fun.

big poppy acts? like Dua Lipa or Sigrid.

Or do you mean pop in a 70s/80s Duran duran or Abba style?

Or clean bandit and Charli XCX? Chic?

scruff monkey · 28-05-2018 01:21PM

Main stage big poppy act capable of filling the slot that Duran / Lana Del Rey filled.

Dua Lipa - too new
sigrid - waaaay to new
clean bandit? get ****ed....
charli xcx - too small

Who springs to mind?

bearing in mind the way 'popular' music is now this would be filled by an RnB/Rap act which we already have two headliners of NERD and Kendrick respectivly.

I see the All Ireland Football final will be on Sunday 2nd September this year, will create an issue for lots of people I'm sure - normally its a semi final of the football or the Hurling final on that Sunday of EP.

I never thought I'd see the day i want Dublin to get to the final... keep a good share of the riff raff away the Sunday.
