    Does anyone know how many Sunday tickets they sell? I ask because the place just explodes on Sunday afternoon. Also, Sunday tickets have sold out what seems to be like in seconds and we still have no indication of line up? Seems a bit odd for them to sell out unless there are not that many this year? Got my weekend camping ticket anyway but a few friends disappointed re Sunday.

    Broken Social Scene and Super Furries announced for Festival No. 6. Now those two would be welcome additions.

    Doubt it's a glitch, could be a combination of
    a) bots
    b) demand
    c) not releasing all sunday tickets at once

    Sunday tickets officially sold out.
    Nice marketing strategy to release so few. Lots of panic buying of weekend tickets with fomo

    Oh man I'd love Broken Social Scene so much.

    3pm is a hell of a wait - dammit EP.

    I'm really hoping for The Kills. New album in June, touring most of this year but haven't announced any Irish shows yet.

    I'm most excited about LCD Soundsytem (if they are not announced we might as well call the whole thing off :P), Radiohead would be great, also hoping for PJ Harvey, Chemical Brothers, Courtney Barnett.

    Was hoping for Floating Points but he's doing B&S so unlikely. Very much looking forward to Body & Soul @ Picnic Line-Up.


    4 hours to go... tick tock... tick tock... c'moooooonnnn!!! :)

    Heard a very strong rumour for the Chemical Brothers to be announced today.

    Hot Chip playing Festival No 6 in Wales that weekend. I'd love if they played. I'm sure most people have seen them before but I just really got into them in the last couple of months. I've actually seen them before at Longitude but didn't appreciate them at the time.

    they must have hit maximum saturation point at this stage with festivals

    Sticking to my guns and going with LCD / Muse / New Order or Chemical Brothers as the 3 headliners.

    Expecting M83 to be high up the bill too.

    And then your usual MSMR, Chvrches, 1973 etc etc.

    Lineup should drop between now and just after lunch.

    Anyone going to launch tonight? Someone shout something boards related and we can be music snobs over free drink and canapés

    Chvrches at longitude

    noo, give me more Hot Chip please!
    Also, the drummer Sarah Jones is playing with NZCA Lines (feat. Charlotte Hatherley). The album is great and would be ideal for EP.

    Final prediction:

    Radiohead / LCD Soundsystem / Chemical Brothers
    New Order / Animal Collective / M83 / Super Furry Animals
    Bastille / Echo & the Bunnymen / Jagwar Ma

    Something like that?

    I reckon there'll be some more pop stuff too but I'm bad at guessing that, and a host of Irish stuff but it might come later in the day.

    never underestimate the lack of imagination of the EP bookers.

    Ya, they are great. Are you in a 2 man or 4 man tipi?
    We stayed in a 2 man and it was plenty big. Room to stand up too which was nice.

    Pink Moon is amazing!! So well worth the money. We are going back again this year and have booked a bellepad with Podpads. You wont regret booking Pink moon.

    Tipis are very spacious, was in one last year and it was well worth the money. The two person one has enough room for two people on just one side of it.
