I might chance an actual wheelbarrow this year, had one of those fold up cart thingys last year. Of course we overloaded it and on the way into pink moon and I had to stay with the cart in the woods while the rest went in ahead and made a few runs, disaster. Some of ye may have seen me looking all sad waiting for my crew to come back. All I was thinking of was that sweet first can, so close yet so far away!

I heard Jimmy Somerville was supposed to have been amazing at Forever Young Festival, I think he's still living in Scotland, would also suit the Picnic vibe.

Yeah, He was brilliant, voice still the same, still well able to belt out the songs, and a certain Welsh lady said at the end of her set that she would see us in the Electric Picnic! Now unless Bonnie Tyler has bought a ticket and will be camping in the Janis Joplin campsite me thinks she may be appearing on a certain stage!

Is he not still living in Berlin? He was great at Forever Young - in fine voice and seemed to be enjoying himself.

She played a few years ago surprised if she was back so soon.

I've used all manner of trollies down the years but bought this last year in The Range and it was the thing ever. Cuts down on all the hassle.

BaZmO* · 10-07-2019 09:18AM

There was to be an announcement this morning at 8:30. Turns out there was on Today FM.

It was gourmet 5 star dining thing with Derry Clarke in aid of Pieta House.

rcarroll1992 · 10-07-2019 09:28AM

Thanks for the replies much appreciated. I'll look into getting one of the trolleys seem to be a good investment. Anyone been listening to Georgia? Enjoying her stuff I'll try get to see her if theres no major clash.

Are they the ones that sing 'boom boom boom boom, i want you in my room'?

Edit:
Yea, so i'd never heard of them and was making a joke, but they sound pretty great to me. I'll give them a proper listen, thanks!

They're the Venga Boys.

Might be an unfortunate typo in the post above

Never heard of them, do they have any familiar tracks?

Apparently tore the roof off the Grand Social a couple months ago.

bodhrandude · 10-07-2019 11:50AM

Yup I like that, another crazy group from Sweden

The first minute and a half reminded me of the Bodyrockers I like the Way.

Looks like Razorlight have self-announced for EP. Certainly didn't see them listed anywhere else.

Would be great to hear Golden Touch. More mid 00s indie bands!

Will see them this weekend at Pohoda festival in Slovakia. One of the few acts to look forward to on a poor lineup. Feedback next week on acts heading to EP.

JCreaghy · 10-07-2019 12:37PM

Wouldn't mind The Distillers or Bowling For Soup, both playing Reading and Leeds and are both throw backs to late 90s and early noughties MTV.

Please do, thank you!

thebusher · 10-07-2019 12:57PM

Was just doing a quick look to see if bands had actual days on their sites.

Sorry if its old news but Echo & the Bunnymen are down for Saturday on their website. Electric Arena? Main stage?

whats the thoughts on Billies set? what length slot can we expect?
i was surprised she played such a short set at glasto
but then i was thinking,,when they booked her she hadnt blown up to
the degree she has now, i wonder if it will be the same at EP
ill be well pissed off if she only gets 40 mins,
would they extend her set based on how big she is or is it set in stone
from the time it was booked? Can they bump her to headline or are they
allowed drop the current headliners down the bill,
if it was announced today she'd be a headliner without doubt

I havent a clue how all this works

cheers

She's got one album I believe.

I'd imagine a 45min set.

No idea how it works either but you'd guess maybe the Dua Lipa slot from last year? A time like that might be best, acts could arguably draw a bigger crowd at this time as they won't be clashing with as big acts. Hard to imagine her playing a headline slot if she is only going to play for 45 mins.

Captain Flaps · 10-07-2019 02:49PM

Probably already mentioned but Florence's site lists her as playing Sunday (and elsewhere the friday), think that's reliable? I've to bail Sunday AM and she's the headliner I'm least pushed on as I've seen her a few times. Hoping for a Strokes Saturday.
