I've just noticed Hak Baker is playing Whelan's in March, upstairs, sold out of course. That's a fecker. He was brilliant in 2018 in one of the tents, Cosby? Played Body and Soul later the same day. Infectious good humour, some great lyrics.

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!”

Scruff Monkey's Tales From Lovecraft runs daily across Picnic Weekend in Mindfield, if you can find him before he finds you...

He was great. Went to both of those and got a shot of rum from him at the B&S stage.

Wickham Festival in early August has a few goodies:

https://www.efestivals.co.uk/news/20/200205a.shtml

Waterboys, Seth Lakeman, Nine Below Zero and Nick Lowe would be very welcome. More than a decade since Scott and Co were there. Overdue a return I'd say.

rubick · 05-02-2020 11:45AM

Orbital, Laurent Garnier, Helena Hauff and a cast of many to play AVA Festival, Belfast for those interested in various shades of doof.

End of May.

Leo Sayer! Too old for Electric Ireland? The Bar Steward Sons of Val Doonican I'd sign up on name alone.

Lyn just texting me to say that Andrew Weatherall is playing ATN so that's another two-festival August

Went to both of those and he really is a happy man, writes about some dark stuff but his gigs are great, going to be away when he's here or else I'd probably have headed up.

Some of these may end up at the AVA stage at ATN, apart from Orbital of course as they played last year.

Would love to see Helena Hauff take the roof of Terminus in the Amelie Lens slot.

Big thief 2nd september vicar st just came through on bandsintown app, I wonder will they be hanging around!

showpony1 · 05-02-2020 04:22PM

that poster with Nile Rodgers & Chic playing the UK 30th August must be as close to a confirmed announcement as there can be.

Been wanting to see Big Thief for 3 or 4 years now, Irish dates never suited to travel. Might just buy a ticket for this, and if they play EP...double bonus! Would be a hectic week!

sally cinnamon89 · 05-02-2020 08:44PM

They're playing england after - would seem unlikely that they'll come back

I'd say a near certainty. Same as Stormzy.

The dates are simply too coincidental.

It's End of the Road, with which EP share several acts each year. I'd say the chances are still very high. 2019 was Micheal Kiwanuka, Courtney Barnett, Bodega, Viagra Boys, Parquet Courts, Sasami, Mitski, Metronomy, Jarvis Cocker, Let's Eat Grandma and Georgia. Maybe more.

ghostdancer · 05-02-2020 09:59PM

the gig is with Aiken, very unlikely they'll be at EP.

BullBlackNova · 06-02-2020 09:16AM

I see the Wha are supporting Supergrass in Dublin.

Was it someone on here who knows them/recommended them? Might have been the ATN thread.

i'm sure it will sellout so you could always shift it on toutless, that's my plan

stephenm1605 · 06-02-2020 09:57AM

Tash sultana is touring Europe and has a free date on the 4th of September, which would be the friday night, could we be in for a treat like her?

lc180 · 06-02-2020 10:25AM

Rock En Seine in Paris (weekend before EP, 40k capacity ) are doing their first announcement on Monday. Strangely enough this year they changed their festival to Saturday, Sunday and TUESDAY. With a day off inbetween.
Must be a pretty impressive headliner on the Tuesday if they are willing to change the overall schedule of the festival.

Its @thebusher. A friend of his is the Dad of one of the band.

Stillill42 · 06-02-2020 04:35PM

I haven't seen the Busher around in a while. He was talking about it maybe being his last picnic last year. I hope we haven't lost him.
