    It would be nice, missed them when they played here in 2014!

    Far more likely they'll announce an Aviva show if there is an Irish date. In fairness to them their tunes are about as interesting as soda bread but they do put on a good live show.

    Anyone see Mercury prize winner Benjamin Clementine at EP this year? One of the most intense performances I ever saw there, had the whole audience (of about 80!) in tears. Very worthy winner.

    BTW There is a great clip on youtube of it, worth it if only for the gormless security man eating a packet of Tayto oblivious to the pure art behind him.:-)

    Hope he is invited back, (Clementine not security guy).

    Shivers down the spine performance.

    I wouldn't begrudge anyone a packet of measly crisps when they've been standing there all day. Average Joe's like him contribute to your being able to hang around at a music festival while crying your middle-class eyes out.

    Think someone said the Weeknd could be at EP but he is supporting Rihanna in the Aviva in June

    I have no idea who they are, but if they are on the bill with Rihanna, then I'm guessing they're not really EP material?

    or would they be aimed at the Sam Smyth demographic?

    The Weeknd is one guy, talented vocalist give him a listen. His latest album was only ok, especially the single "Can't feel my Face" which was an annoying song but his older stuff is quite good.

    As much as love them to bits i dunno do i want them at the picnic. The crowd yapping came very close to ruining them in the O2 in 2013 and at EP in 2012. Still amazing, but i just don't trust the new generation of picnic goers not to ruin it.

    Long ago I'm afraid. They wen't scarily quick this year.

    I'd be disappointed with Sigur Ros again so soon.

    That gig was painful because of idiots behind me yapping through every song other than Hoppípolla.

    The lad beside me kept yelling "Play Wonderwall!" at them :( Don't think I'd want them at Picnic tbh purely because of the crowd.

    At least I could move away from clowns at the Picnic, I was stuck in my seat at the O2.

    I still enjoyed them but it was just ruined from some girl and her fella that had come from the Rugby and spent the whole time talking to her friend who was about 4 seats away from her. :rolleyes:

    I know I'm getting old and grumpy but it was the whole concert and it was especially loud during all the quiet bits.

    All that said, I'd still love to see Sigur Ros back at EP. :)

    Wondering if anyone can help me here. I bought a discounted ticket before the offer expired a few weeks ago using the installment plan, paid €60 up front and then €50 is to come out of my account on Dec 1st and Feb 1st as far as I know.

    However, since then I have got a new job and have gone from being paid weekly to being paid monthly, and my first payday isn't for another few weeks. I won't have the funds in my account on Tuesday, does anyone know what the story is if you don't have the money in your account? Or is there any way I could contact them to try and see if anything can be done rather than them cancelling my ticket?

    Just ring them when you have the cash and they'll take the payment over the phone.

    Certainly hope so, should start seeing rumours and listings for acts headlining the european festival circuit soon too which will give us an idea as to who's about next year

    EP tickets arrived yesterday. Seems very early to be sending them out, last year I got mine sent out 2/3 weeks before the big weekend. Happy nonetheless!
