Prevailing rumours seem to be Tame Impala (check!), Kraftwerk, Arcade Fire and Lana del Ray for four of the six days.

The line-ups have been typically very good in the two years. I wouldn't be a fan of Bring Me the Horizon, for e.g., but they really cater the bills quite well as far as I can see.

Thought it was astonishing in 2018 but much weaker this year. Still had some great stuff but Mumfords, Bring Me The Horizon and Christine & the Queens headlining three of the six days wouldn't do it for me. Overall though the best of their acts each year would make for an incredible Picnic.

Agreed on 2/3 - forgot about Mumfords tbh but BMTH wouldn't be my bag either.

Christine & the Queens wasn't the best headline act (though I do like them), but the rest of the bill was top notch, I thought: James Blake, Metronomy, Maribou State, Kamasi Washington, Beach House, Kurt Vile, Toro Y Moi, Yves Tumor, Octo Octa and our very own Kojaque.

I mean, if that was offering from a full three-day festival, I wouldn't be too put out!

I'd expect a pretty decent amount of APE acts will play primavera sound

I went over in 2018, it is a good festival and got a great lineup but a city festival that finishes at midnight or 11.00pm is never going to compare to a camping festival like EP or ATN. The lineup was great value for money though I thought and I would go back again if the lineup appealed to me, which most of those rumours do!!

Plenty of great stuff there indeed. Got to see Kamasi Washington sometime, can think of little better for an outdoor sunny early evening or late evening tent. EP missed a trick not getting him & Thundercat to join Kendrick Lamar in 2018.

Entertainment.ie have a list of the Best Irish albums of the decade. I don't put too much stock in such lists but curious to know what people on here would have on their list for the last ten years? Hopefully I'll discover something new!

Mine would have several by Jape and Villagers but topped by Girl Band and Rusangano Family.

Solar Bears: She Was Coloured In (2010) was a real favourite for a few years too.

I'm surprised that, given their success, the Fontaines DC didn't get mentioned. A couple that were under the radar were:

Seamus Fogarty - The Curious Hand
Brigid Mae Power - The Two Worlds

I also think U2's Songs of Innocence was excellent though the album wasn't given a chance by most critics. Rolling Stone gave it album of the year though and The Troubles (with Lykke Li) is amongst their greatest tracks.

No reason for My Bloody Valentine's mbv not to be included. Great album. It ain't Loveless, but then what is.

Elephant 88
A Lazarus soul the D...
new jackson from night to night
Malojian (if NI allowed) let your weirdness
Windings Be honest and fear not
Just Mustard Wednesday
Murder capital when I have fears
Engine Alley showroom
O emperor jason
James Vincent mcmorrow we move

Bit too heavy from recent years but all these lists tend to be

Thundercats Ho · 20-11-2019 09:01AM

More omissions

Jape - Ocean of Frequency
Fionn Regan - All of his from this decade
Declan O Rourke - Chronicles of the great Irish famine (my Favorite Irish album for a long time)
Roisín Murphy - Hairless Toys
Sinead O Connor - I'm not bossy i'm the boss
Lisa Hannigan - At swim

This is a bit more my tempo I think.

Jape has had three excellent albums this decade and probably still slightly floats below the radar for some.

Also excellent live so fingers crossed for a tour on the new album.

If he brings his show back to The Olympia (as he said he would last time he was here) don't miss it! Agreed on a Main Stage afternoon or Cosby late set - perfect fit.

ghostdancer · 20-11-2019 10:05AM

Just Mustard - Wednesday
Gemma Hayes - Bones and Longing
The Butterfly Explosion - Lost Trails
Ham Sandwich - White Fox
The Cast of Cheers - Chariot
And So I Watch You From Afar – All Hail Bright Futures
I Am The Cosmos – Monochrome
Delorentos - Little Sparks
Solar Bears - Supermigration
Sh1t Robot - We Got A Love
Le Galaxie - Le Club
All Tvvins – llVV
Ships – Precession
Bicep - Bicep
David Kitt - Yous

Paddy2012 · 20-11-2019 12:16PM

I guess Syro by Aphex Twin should be there somewhere too.

22-11-2019 12:51PM

Haim playing Trinity on 30 June so that's likely them out of the EP running. Can't say that I'm too fussed.

rubick · 22-11-2019 01:14PM

The mighty Beak> just announced for the Button Factory this coming February, will keep an eye on the schedule for 2020. They'd give the Body & Soul stage a decent workout.

Staying with great Bristol noise, Giant Swan are in Dublin this day week, just saw the listing yesterday. Could be tempted to stay on another night after Bjork next Thursday.

This is all the relevant Bristol-based music news I have at present - more updates as they occur.

Love 'em. Seen them a couple of times at festivals and also met Barrow before a Portishead gig at ATP. Friendly guy. They'd be perfect in that Lamb slot on the B&S stage.

blackwhite · 22-11-2019 10:46PM

Foo Fighters doing a few European festivals in June, and rumours of a wider European tour over the summer as well.

Would make for quite a big late night crowd

With you not a fan at all. Cant see why the hype around them

True right up there with the best of them.

BullBlackNova · 23-11-2019 10:17AM

Was at Girl Band in Vicar Street last night.

What a band, what a show. Would be shocked if they're not at the summer festivals next year.

Their EP shows in ~2014/15 on the Salty Dog and another tent (I'm getting old here) are still among my absolute highlights.

ghostdancer · 23-11-2019 12:56PM

same weekend as EP:

Poorside · 23-11-2019 08:55PM

Would happily take, Primal Scream and Peter hook, would probably have a look at The Libertines.

scruff monkey · 23-11-2019 11:00PM

Crowded house reforming next year.

watched a bit of the Libs live at reading.

They weren't on form.

But maybe that's what they're like, playing detuned, not on time and off key.

Were they ever a tight band?

bodhrandude · 24-11-2019 02:38AM

No time for Pete Doherty at all, just cannot take him seriously.

They were always a little shambolic, but great live. What I caught on TV from Reading and Glastonbury in 2015 looked great. Personally I'd love them at EP and think they'd draw a big crowd. Subheadliner status these days?

Would the Libertines still have the draw of a sub headliner? Liked them back in the day but always felt their popularity in outlets like NME was never quite matched elsewhere. At least not outside the UK.

Last played Ireland in 2015 - maybe that would add to the appeal?

They're not a band on my 'must see' list anyway!
