He's far from pretentious. A very down to earth chap making savage tunes. His Whelan's gig with The Mary Wallopers was sensational.

Yeah also the last word I'd use to describe him. He just has an odd combination of influences. Took me a couple of gigs of his to get into him but he's just brilliant.

The Mary Wallopers also the newest rising stars in Irish folk. They're an absolute laugh. They're a cert for EP I would say.

There are 213 sleeps.

Hi all! Apologies for the random question but I was wondering do eco campsite have their own showers or do we have to go to the general campsite showers to freshen up? Thanks everyone

Kepler21 wrote: »

Last year they didn't have showers; the only showers available were on the Hendrix side of the campsite, which made for a long walk.

With the increased capacity I would really hope that there is either a second shower location, or showers within the ECO campsite, as its a real pain to have to walk all the way around.

There was chat from the Eco Head Honcho that there would be Ecowatt-style showers from 2018, but we're still waiting on those. Would be dead handy. Although I'm not a great man for a festival shower.

Ah Rubick dont be doing that to me had ruled them out but now a flicker of hope which will grow to a bonfire until last announcement has been lit.

They were also announced for another English festival yesterday, Y NOT Festival, 24-26th July. And just this morning for Larmer Tree Festival in Dorset, 16th-19th July.

Fairly rattling through the schedules!

Lowlands is on in the Netherlands a couple of weeks before EP and had it's first announcement this morning. Could see a good few of these playing in Stradbally.

Some decent ones in there for sure.

Reckon oul Stormzy could be a threat to the Main Stage this year.

Didn't he play main stage before? I'd certainly take London Grammar. The Friday night combination or the and the XX from a couple of years ago was magical

I feel we should use the term Coronavirus as a collective term for the bands formerly knows as bedwetters. Any of those strangled voice bands that make you want to commit a crime when they come on the radio. Coronas, Walking on Cars et al

Sweet Jesus no. Surely the EP bookers have some sort of common decency and wouldn't inflict them on an Irish crowd?

I don't think he's played EP before.

Not sure if actual band names or parodies. I giggled anyway.

Vague Activities is hilarious. Abandoned Taxi is a good name, hence the uncertianty.

rubick · 04-02-2020 02:14PM

All my own work. Have always thought Walking On Cars one of those ridiculous band names that mean nothing.
See also that raft of early 2000s landfill indie bands prefixed with 'The'.

Re: Stormzy; I can only think of one occasion ever where a headline act stuck around to play Ireland again straight away - Florence + the Machine in about 2014/15 (all the years blend in to one for me!) - so I wouldnt be too sure it's a runner for Stormzy to do both.

He's an ideal EP act otherwise but I just feel the arena show would rule him out.

Not basing it on anything other than that - a feeling and a (relative) lack of historical precedence - but it would be unusual for an EP headliner (especially a non Irish act) to do large headline shows so soon after.

But given that the tickets for the festival sell out regardless these days, maybe EP won't care that one of the biggest draws of the weekend wouldnt be an exclusive.

Manning3000 · 04-02-2020 04:25PM

My second installment came out today WOOOOOOOO!

Remember to check if it came out people, last year people were on here the week of EP saying they missed two payments now their tickets were gone.

Thundercats Ho · 04-02-2020 04:35PM

The week before the picnic in Portsmouth.
A lot of guff on the line up, but nice to see Ian Brown and Hooky touring so closeby a week before..

rubick · 04-02-2020 04:47PM

Nile Rodgers & Chic Confirmed!

Wouldn't mind seeing Hooky tbh.

Jesus. As if the poor woman has not suffered enough.

Stillill42 · 04-02-2020 06:32PM

2 pages of activity in one day! The faint aroma of an approaching announcement is in the air and the Boardsie heavyweights rouse themselves from hibernation. Lineups appearing on a regular basis. I'm feeling it now.

Skepta has, but I'm pretty sure Stormzy hasn't. And after Glasto there's only one slot he'll take at any festival.

Fatfrog · 04-02-2020 08:57PM

Thats a nice Lowlands lineup.

Stormzy has serious energy, I think he'd make a great headliner.
Hes on the go 5-6 years now, although that seems short it must feel like FOREVER if you're early twenties.

The gates of R'lyeh are cast open as something ancient and not quite alive crawls toward the light. Unknown for twelve thousand years, the dark lord Cthulhus unseen form expands as he grows closer and the screams of the souls of the damned echo in every footstep he takes. As his hellish slithering maw opens, moistened by the greased sins of the foresaken, a foetid breath escapes, poisoning the world with its passing as he whispers “kings of Leon? Not on my f**king watch!”
