      I think the hosts on the rte show are doing alright, light hearted chat and whatnot.
      Also, Ham Sandwich girl is too fine.

      So far I've heard Nuitini playing 4 songs I've never heard before, & each one have been brilliant.

      They are his more common songs....

      RTÉ's coverage isn't great. Too many ads and stupid montages of how the festival was created. Just show us the f*cking music!!

      is anyone watching the coverage on rte? some of the scenes in the tent that Benjamin Booker is playing are particularly cringe, like an episode of father ted

      This has to be the worst music line up ever at a festival, and with the amount of solid acts kicking around after reading/Leeds last week. Jesus h.

      Its a good job it's more about the'arts' than the music lol

      Blondie don't sound that great but jesus there is a lot more honesty in her performance than singers half her age these days.

      Was right at front for him. He was superb. That said Portishead are the closest I think I could ever come to a religious experience

      Is it that bad. Hope it's on their player thing. For four hours of coverage they've quite a swanky looking pad over looking the main arena

      Such a terrible line up for a sell out crowd. Hope they spend some money on some acts next year.

      Looks like they rented out the bbc set from glastonbury and to be fair to RTE the presenters are just as cringe worthy

      First year I haven't been at EP for the Weekend since the start of the festival. The RTE coverage was nothing short of abysmal, some botoxed robotic princess beside a hipster muppet with an ounce full of spunk in his hair babbling utter sh1te! as the amazing Portishead were performing in the background without even one minute of their performance. What concerns me more is from some of the comments on here suggesting that the acts need to be more high profile, that's the last thing this festival needs. Boutique my ass!

      They were. Mr. Nile really does like to big himself up but then, at this stage he's entitled to.

      It really depends on your tastes. Open the mind and the ears will follow.

      Tomorrow is going to be a savage day. Have all I want to see in me phone calendar to buzz me 15 mins before each gig. Back at me tent already with a night cap so that I can be up early to get a cleanish bog to have a peaceful poo and then not have to queue for a shower.

      I understand what your saying but if you were think of the profits they have made from the last 2 sell outs against this years line up Vs last years it seems quite light weight in spending. If you compare it to Festivals in the UK of similar stature the big name acts are just not there. Fatboy Slim and Arctic Monkeys must of cost lots to book last year and know it looks like the Irish people are going sell out the picnic regardless of who is playing which worries me for the future who they book in as so called head-liners.

      You have got to be kidding, the line up is exactly what it should be. It's meant to be an alternative festival, like Primavera, thank God there's no Arctic Monkeys or Kings of Leon and there is Portishead, Beck, St. Vincent, the Horrors...
