Electric Picnic,whats the rumours?

I doubt your petition will have much impact. Thats just the nature of online petitions and getting organisers to listen to suggestions in general. I remember Glastonbury used to have a "suggest bands you want to see page" and it just instantly became a mess of impossible suggestions (the beatles etc). Im glad youve got Mew on it though.

Oh I know they rarely have an impact but I always operate on the basis that it's better to at least try these things. What have you got to lose? Not a damned lot. Plus EP is a bonafide boutique festival which allows for a little more optimism, I feel.

Any idea when tics are going on sale for this?

Toast · 06-03-2006 08:26PM

Have been since late last year.

PetShop Boys are confirmed from what I hear!

Ok.. I tried to buy them yesterday and they weren't on sale. They are now though.

Okay, I just got this off my source on the inside ... looks like the line up will be something like this:

Gary Numan - Massive Attack - DJ Shadow - Anthony & The Johnsons - Groove Armada - Stereolab - Nurse With Wound - Pet Shop Boys - Basement Jaxx - New Order - NWA - 2 Live Crew - Autechre - The Orb - Mogwai - Art Brut - MF Doom - The New Pornographers - King Creosote - MIA - Suburban Kids With Biblical Names - U-Roy - The Redneck Manifesto - DJ Krush - Caustic PhleX - Destroyer - Fingathing - Husky Rescue - Deerhoof

Morrisey and Radiohead(with support from Beck) prob won't be playing as some people have suggested as they are playing different nights in Marley Park over the summer.

I gotta go now, I think I'm being monitored, but I'll try and get back in contact soon.

Hope there's a few more big names than that...looks pretty good though.

Toast · 08-03-2006 06:08PM

Theres very little on that list that hasnt been rumoured as strong possibilities on the official site forums over the last week so I dont see why anyone would be worried about being tracked down. Unless they were trying to add some credibility to something they just heard as a rumour of course. :-p

Yeh what Sajan says

Corndog.. Your source on the inside wouldn't have to be the rumour page on the Electric Picninc Forum would it??

Hahahaha, just what i was thinkin

Over on the EP forums they seem to think Belle and Sebastian, The Zutons, Jim Noir and Jose Gonazlez will be added. The line up posted above was pretty disappointing, seems mostly for the pills crowd. And them days are long since gone for me, the horrors the horrors....

Hopefully when its fully announced at the end of the month it'll be worth waiting for. Strong rumours about Roger Waters and Prince which'd be cool.

smackbunnybaby · 09-03-2006 06:44PM

i can confirm - (according to the band anyway - they told my friend)
that broken social scene are playing

curious_george · 09-03-2006 09:49PM

Saul Williams is confirmed, it is on his website but for some reason the Tour section can't be viewed properly at the moment.

eth0_ · 09-03-2006 09:59PM

Saul Williams is CLASS!

Don`t just say that man if you aren`t certain. Seeing her would literally make my year. Oh man oh man.

Corndog was pretty much proven to be bull****ting.
