Mostly based on EOTR & Green Man I'm expecting at least half of these:

DJ Koze
Caribou
Big Thief
Bright Eyes
Goldfrapp
Angel Olsen
Creep Show
Despacio
Mac Demarco
King Krule
Agnes Obel
Little Simz
Aldous Harding
B. C. Camplight
Shame
Fontaines D. C.
Murder Capital
Warmduscher
Squid
Black Country, New Road

All of which I'd be happy to see. Personally hope Pixies don't take a headline slot but have a feeling they will.

I would say you can rule a good amount of those acts Big thief, angel olsen, caribou are all playing summer shows here with Aiken so they’re unlikely.

I have the feeling DeMarco is Waterford bound.

Great list tho

Tbh if Taylor Swift was announced id probably catch her set(unless there was another clash) as she has some decent hits...................please dont judge me :pac:

i'll judge you on having good taste :pac:
she'd be one of the best headliners EP has ever had IMO

I think ATN said they will have their main first announcement done by the end of the month. Might push EP to act a bit sooner than normal.

Saw them both at the gig tonight. Enthralled! Can I ask how long Fionn played for last night? 50 mins tonight. Brilliant s those minutes were it was very short!

Yeah less than an hour. ANF played nearly as long and I was excited to see her too so I was happy enough

Taylor Swift is way too big for EP. She'd sell out Croker for 3 nights easily. I've no idea what her fee is for booking but I'm sure itd run EP into the red if they booked her.

She did 2 nights in Croker last time she was here and they couldn't give the tickets away. Literally, they were handing out bundles of free tickets to clubs and companies all over the country just to fill both nights.
She'd sell out 1 fairly easily, can't manage 2.

She's playing smaller festivals than EP in June/July, so her fee can't be that big for this festival run she's doing (first time playing festivals).

She's not in Europe in August/September though, so there's next to no hope of her playing EP.

Not sure. The documentary was filmed very recently, I'd guess last year, and all seemed good. Their 2018 tour was postponed after the death of Orzabel's wife. Thus I'd be very surprised if during that grieving process and the brilliantly-received 2019 tour they'd managed to fall out again. But I'm happy to be corrected.

The very best of their work stands up extremely well. Some throwaway tosh, but hey, who got through the 80s without that?

The James. All killer, no filler

Over the years on the rave Lyn and I have met a couple from here that lived in London in the very early 90s. Their apartment/squat was downstairs from a room that was used by Tears For Fears for rehearsals, and they met the band a few times, by all accounts lovely folks. My favourite tale they told us however was being rudely awaked one Sunday morning by what sounded like a large explosion - on looking out the window however it was just Jimmy Cauty of the KLF starting up one of his tanks. Different days.

Oooft!

If we could have a repeat of the New Order/LCD Soundsystem/Despacio 2016 line-up without the rain that would be quite acceptable.

Just seen Andrew Weatherall has died. RIP
