Ffs Niall, those dates are in February, they haven't pulled out.

Lads it's starting to resemble the mental institution in One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest in here now, everyone picking a specific mania and worrying away at it.

Ya sorry I didn't even look at the dates it just came up in my feed, I just presumed it was for 2018.

To keep us occupied,If you can realistically have only 1 more big act added who would it be?

Would have to be Weller for me, if he’s announced I’d be happy out.

Saw him at Sea Sessions in 2010, despite a few power breakdowns he delivered a superb set, wouldn't mind seeing him at EP.

Yeah he is probably the nearest thing to a heavy metal/hip hop/ trap vibe to play the Picnic, in some ways this is a new genre that EP seem to be exploring and chancing, I prefer this stuff to the Grime stuff.

Same here. Laughing to meself thinking I'd be all over this 20 odd years ago with the metal influence. Will probably drop in to see him. Might suggest the theatre of food to herself for the half hour or so. She's great to listen to my stuff but this would be a stretch :-)

Was at that too. I remember he played town called malice to make up for the interruptions. Would be a nice addition for the picnic

Lower level acts

Young fathers
Bloody beetroots
KK company (furniture act, better be there)

And anything with a bit of metal in it for good measure

KKC already confirmed that they won't be at EP this year. It was posted earlier in the thread, someone was talking to them on FB.

Bitch Falcon maybe for a bit of metal? They played B&S though so maybe unlkely.

Wait... what....what! I dont remember reading that.

Ill see them at Beatyard and the Olympia but EP really missing a trick there considering they had the EA packed at 3pm on a Sunday last year.

Thats actually upsetting.

Poorside · 17-07-2018 09:14PM

Announcement up on Facebook ....

That it’s 45 sleeps.

Stillill42 · 17-07-2018 09:15PM

Very good when they played Róisín Dubh earlier this year. Two really great tunes in their set. I think historically there's crossover and always a chance with an Irish act but we're unlikely to get non-Irish acts from B&S, FF, etc.

Yeah i think they said that EP wouldn't book them two years in a row. Or maybe since they played the electric arena last year they are only prepared to take that slot again or a better one (main stage or a later slot in the EA) and there may not be space for them to do so. Pure specualtion btw.

declanleo · 17-07-2018 11:25PM

45 sleeps says the facebook....nice one lads,thats loads of tome to get to know new acts. *****

I’m hoping for the Prodigy, Tame Impala would be cool to see, MGMT, Future Islands and why not add in Pearl Jam

If ALL of those play I’d be happy

None will though

Ever

Playing the US on the same weekend as the Picnic.

CantonaGod · 18-07-2018 07:45AM

Spiritualized have new album out and touring in Sept.....? Chances?

bodhrandude · 18-07-2018 08:29AM

FFS EP give some kind of inkling when you might announce the fecking announcement.

I know.... remember the good aul days of an announment about the announcement!!!

Ricey92 · 18-07-2018 09:02AM

Lads, it's surely going to be this week?? Getting ridiculous at this stage.

Davydeath · 18-07-2018 09:13AM

Bicep posted on twitter yesterday they are announcing dates this morning for belfast, dublin etc.... possibly waiting on EP to announce first?

here's hoping

Don't know if it has been said already but The Prodigy are playing in Italy (Treviso) on the Friday night, sure they could get a cheap Ryanair flight on Saturday to be in Stradbally for 10ish

Can just imagine the luggage costs for the 2-3 tons of gear they’d have

Micheal o’learys gusset would explode like a champagne fountain in bubbly sticky moistness

Jamiec6284 · 18-07-2018 09:50AM

I have heard The Prodigy are lined up to play out on the Sunday Night of Picnic, really hope it is true make such a difference having them on the line up

Enough for everyone to get wasted! Nice...

18-07-2018 09:50AM

I’m finding this thread a great support during these times tbh

But yay for bicep. Missed him last year, think he clashed with someone else

Hopefully not as I have to leave on Sunday morning.

I'd expect some of the younger acts to play on Sunday for the sunday kids crowd
