What's the story with the two festivals?

Do bands generally/sometimes play both as I would love to see Three Trapped Tigers?

I thought they were going to work as sister festivals, a bit like Oxegen and TIP years ago but it they don't, apart from running same weekend and being in close proximity to each other

This is probably the best of the audience captured clips sound quality wise of LCD Soundsystem doing Heroes at the Coachella festival.

All subjective I know, but I really don't get the love people have for LCD Soundsystem.

There's little in life more subjective than music, don't worry about it

I'm with you and I've liked them for a long time. I think they're good but I don't get the hype. In fact, I don't recall the hype before they broke up.

I don't know, I can't explain but I just love LCD Soundsystem, lost a bit of interest in them around 2010 but the Coachella performance has put them at number 1 for me, they were by far the best gig I seen that weekend at Coachella on the streams.

Can I ask something slightly of topic but still EP relevant? Ive signed up for the 15km run with the Tour de Picnic. I figured if I have to part with €300 for a ticket its better to do it for a charity than line someone else's pocket. So if there is anyone that has done this previously my questions are (a) how challenging is the running route?(b) how much serious training is needed for it to cross the line and still have energy in the tank for 3 days of partying?

As far as I know or read its from Kildare town to Stradbally so between 25 to 30 kilometres that you run.

Edit: Actually scratch that its 15 KM you run and its actually from Athy you start from. http://give2go.ie/event/437

deeceemee · 29-04-2016 08:25PM

You dont know Bodhrandude is it through fields or on road?

Yeah I think its all on the road. It looks like its on the N80 Route. https://www.google.ie/maps/dir/Athy,+Co.+Kildare/Stradbally,+Co.+Laois/@53.0962615,-7.2610157,10z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m13!4m12!1m5!1m1!1s0x485d6f8da2028ec3:0xa00c7a997318da0!2m2!1d-6.985728!2d52.9918336!1m5!1m1!1s0x485d72881b2435cd:0xa00c7a99731d0a0!2m2!1d-7.1494717!2d53.0157983

deeceemee · 29-04-2016 09:01PM

Fair play to you for finding that. It looks like a nice route anyway. Plenty of fields to rest in along the way lol

bodhrandude · 29-04-2016 09:03PM

So what do you reckon for next announcement, Jagwar Ma, Iggy Pop, M83, Grimes, Radiohead, Eagles of Death metal, The Temper Trap among others.

deeceemee · 29-04-2016 09:07PM

Iggy Pop and Grimes would make me happy. Id also like to see Odesza or Kraftwerk, Tracy Chapman and Moby(dreaming here there isnt a chance!).

The only way you can find if there might be a possibility of said artists is to check their touring schedules, if they are around Europe in late August and first part of September there is a chance they might play. I scooped some of my choice from Rock en Seine the week before EP and Bestival and Lollapalooza Berlin the weekend after EP as these acts might be plausible.

deeceemee · 29-04-2016 10:18PM

Kraftwerk have a tiny gap in their schedule between the 3-6 Sep. Would be a tall ask though for them to fly back for EP before heading to Atlanta for their show. Still would love a glimpse of their 3D Show, I reckon it reckon it would be something special.

scruff monkey · 30-04-2016 12:31AM

Much as I would love to see ze Germans, I cannot see that one happening.

Tago Mago · 30-04-2016 02:06AM

Annie Mac & Jamie xx now scratched from my wish list due to the Longitude announcement. Jagwar Ma would be quality with hopefully new album sounds in tow.

I take it no Despacio tent this year with there being no mention on the line up graphic?

scruff monkey · 30-04-2016 02:23AM

Allegedly Despacio is a no-go this year due to his lordships other ongoing concern, but I'd take all things with a pinch of salt until we see a full list of acts

scruff monkey · 30-04-2016 03:09AM

2c worth, wouldn't mind white lies @ EP, think they'd be a good fit and are crackin live

LCD & Despacio co existed both w'ends at Coachella albeit there is a massive difference in size of the respective festivals. LCD seem to have a free w'end EP apart.

Same with Daughter. Would have loved them at the picnic.

EP responded to someone on social media last month to say Despacio wouldn't be back this year.

They played 5 years ago and were ace.

MJohnston · 01-05-2016 09:26AM

Despacio aside, a Soulwax live performance and a 2ManyDJs set would be very welcome. I dunno if Soulwax are touring Belgica actually, given the albums concept.

We seen loads of people walking it while driving to the gig last year. You can do it at your own pace, so as slow or fast as you want

deeceemee · 01-05-2016 02:32PM

Thats good to know cause I have a husband and friends here who keep laughing at me every time I suggest we start to train for it. They have no intentions of running it, whereas my logic is run it, get it over with quickly and enjoy the rest of the festival. Fingers crossed for a warm day and it should be a bit of craic!

Furious-Red · 01-05-2016 04:37PM

Looks like no EP for me this year

But on the other hand i just bought my ticket for Pukkelpop instead

:)

bodhrandude · 02-05-2016 05:23PM

I have a foreboding that the Cranberries might be booked for this, I hope not though but they seem to be touring around August. Will be running off to Body & Soul Village to escape Linger if that is the case. http://www.limerickpost.ie/2016/02/08/limerick-band-the-cranberries-back-on-tour/
