    Email from the press company says so anyway.

    There's a few tickets left for Three customers only apparently, but the general sale has ended.

    Which is mad - 9 days after the announcement and 6 months before the festival!!

    Aye, but sure LCD Soundsystem aren't a draw ;)

    The problem is really that you can't say any music is specifically "bad", just that you don't like it. There is no 'bad' art in any form, by it's own definition. If you're into over-produced, under-imaginative, samey EDM (or more realistically, if you're into getting wrecked and moshing around to anything), then Calvin Harris is undoubtedly at the top of that pile for you.

    That said, yeah, he would definitely attract a load of the "EP 2015 Cocktail Bar" crowd.
    So there's no such thing as bad but there's such a thing as over-produced and under-imaginative?

    Shocked. The installment plan is looking like a better idea by the day!

    Christ.

    That's not a good sign. The "Oxegen" crowd have grown legion methinks.

    They could have had OPM at the top of the bill with Amanda Brunker serving as a sub-headliner and the thing would have sold out.

    Hopefully not. Most people I know who have tickets so far are people who have gone in previous years (not scauldies:D)

    I reckon the festival is going to deteriorate now. Now that it's sold out, what is their incentive now to book another big headliner? Glad i decided to forego EP this year. Am heading to Nos Alive in Portugal. Altho, am gutted to be missing LCD.

    Anyone know when it was announced as a sell out last year? Was there any further tickets released after it was announced as sold out? (Excuse me while I find some more straws to clutch at)

    That's unbelievable that it's sold out already

    Agree with the poster above re: Headline acts - why would they bother adding anyone that's going to cost serious €€€? Unless they're 90% in with an act and just on the cusp of an announce

    Sure it sells out every year, why will it deteriorate because it sells out this year. I'd imagine headliners are already booked, just not announced (although Chems, LCD, New Order and Lana DR are headliners enough on their own I'd have thought)

    I've never been so happy to have got one early! Maybe I'll be able to sell it for €400?!?

    headliners are booked several months in advance. for most medium-big festivals they'll have booked them a year in advance, with the big acts planning their tours for several months before that.
    the headliners are booked at this stage, whether or not all of them are actually announced yet.

    I'm actually not surprised. I know of 7 newbies going this year, all in their 30's and 40's. For good or bad EP, is now established as mainstream.

    It is so funny to me to get messages of utter confusion about the lineup. At least 4 of them literally had no idea what they were signing up for! :-)

    I reckon they will be more released when the next list of bands are released
