    And to people grumbling already, they only added Blur to last year's lineup in May. There'll be more in the bag if ticket sales are slow.

    This has to be the happiest I've been at an EP announcement and I'm only just happy.

    Meh, not really arsed with that first batch line up at all. Lana DEL Rey? Snooze/puke, No thanks. LCD Soundsystem is not enough to make me want to go.

    TXFM goes off now, especially because John cadell is on fir the next 4 poxy hours.

    They're too big, they will probably play their own show and MCD will make more ca$h from that

    For me, that's about the best initial lineup I've seen for EP - LCD ✔ Chems ✔ HAIM ✔ SFA ✔ Todd Terje ✔ Animal Collective ✔ Wild Beasts ✔ Pantha Du Prince ✔ Daniel Avery ✔

    Wish Mount Kimbie were live tbh. I'll have to check out a few of the other artists too, cos I don't recognise half (and last years lineup introduced me to so many great new bands).

    thankfully Sam Smith last year has taken some of the sting out of the outrage for Lana Del Rey headlining....

    Since EP have already made the poster, new acts won't be announced for a few months so. Disappointed that M83 aren't on the line-up and no decent rock band announced. Happy with The Chemical Brothers though.

    Yes! Very happy with that -

    LCD Soundsystem, Chemical Brothers, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Nightsweats, Super Furry Animals, Ezra Furman, Haim, Savages, Todd Terje, Daniel Avery, Broken Social Scene, Phosphorescent.

    Spotify will be putting one together - they always do.

    Hoping for Catfish, maybe All Tvvins and a couple of retro bands, like Belly, James etc

    according to ep website:
    ...and Broken Social Scene all make their inaugural appearances in Stradbally this September.

    pretty sure Broken Social Scene played 2006? anyone remember that ?
