    Yeah but only because the scheduling was messed up. They still ended up playing about half an hour later than they were meant to.

    Unfortunately I can't imagine that David Gilmour would be there unless they do a Robert Plant kinda thingy they done in 2013.

    Yeah, would be nice, but he has a pretty big lighting rig and backdrop so he wouldn't fit the main stage also it would have to be a night set for visuals, would be a mind blowing headliner announcement though.

    John Carpenter has announced a live gig for Dublin in October, was hoping he'd be in the next EP announcement.

    Richard Ashcroft is a potential, with a new album coming out... even if the new single is gash

    His last few albums have been gash, all the way back to Forth (with de swerve)

    But a blast or two of History and Lucky Man would be nice alright.

    Grandaddy announced a Vicar Street show for August 18th. I know someone mentioned them on here as an option but that'll rule them out.

    Stoking the embers of speculation as the sun has got my festival juices flowing...

    Foals (long shot with the amount they are in Ireland) Two Door Cinema Club (certs in my opinion) and The Last Shadow Puppets all have little gaps at the beginning of September and are all doing Reading/Leeds

    Biffy Clyro doing summer festival tour and nothing announced after Reading and Leeds (they are in Belfast doing Belsonic so if they only plan on coming to Ireland once, that's it)

    The Temper Trap are doing Reading and Leeds and then nothing announced until Lollapalooza Berlin on September 11th

    Damian Marley, Iggy Pop, Edward Sharp, The Neighbourhood, Crystal Castles all around at the end of August, start of September

    Festival Republic run Reading/Leeds, Lollapalooza Berlin and Longitude so I'd be surprised if there wasn't some crossover in acts

    Radiohead, James Blake, The 1975, Jagwar Ma all possible?

    Divine Comedy just announced a new tour and album, given he and his other half are usually knocking about there in some form there's got to be a good chance of them making an appearance.

    Are we looking at the Bank holiday now as the time for the next announcement, no indication at all from EP if there is one forthcoming.

    Why not ask something more likely to be answered - like 'what are next weeks winning lotto numbers?'

    I can positively guarantee you that they will be a grouped set of digits painted onto little balls in the range of 1 to 47 inclusive.

    Maybe the mods should just lock this thread until the next announcement actually happens, so that when we go to post something we'll go Oh! its locked better wait for that next announcement.
