What about acts that have stuff to promote and not doing the full festival circuit but the odd gig? The Coral have a new album. Ash overdue a visit. Connan Mockasin, St. Etienne, Edwyn Collins all about. Are The Strokes a possibility? EP usually has a few surprises up its sleeve, so hoping for some good ones.

Would like to see Moderat added again, they haven't played since 2009 at EP and with a new album in the offing.

He plays a couple of summer fests a year, but they tend to be very low key. He's playing the On Blackheath fest in London the weekend after EP so there's a chance of him appearing but I'm more hopeful than expectant. The Manics did both fests last year but that was it.

Edwyn, The Shins & Radiohead would make the Picnic a glorious one for me.

So still no announcement, I think we need to pay a visit to the EP offices in Dublin and burn down the place, who is with me here.

You really need to take a chill pill and have a time out.

Just listening back on the audio of Lana Del Ray at Glastonbury two years ago, I looking forward to seeing a bit of her set if she is not clashing with something else I might want to see. Her live performance is actually heavier than the studio counterparts, the guitarist gets a nice crunchy sound.

sally cinnamon89 · 29-05-2016 01:11PM

Im calling it.
There will be an announcement next week

A very decent artist. Wholly unfair of people to lump her in with the likes of Sam Smith & Ellie Goulding. Albums pretty mixed but each with great tracks. She's taken an unfair bashing and she's on my must-see list for this year.

I reckon two weeks after, 14/15 June. But I'd be much happier being wrong.

Apologies for the atrocious video. But I reckon this guy is a great addition to the Other Voices stage. BBC6 play him a fair bit, voice reminds me of Stuart Staples.

Fat Freddys Drop are doing Euro festivals in August, they'd be a catch.

MadYaker · 29-05-2016 05:04PM

So are we thinking Lana will have a late afternoon slot on the main stage like Sam Smith?

Was Sam Smith not just right before Outkast?

bodhrandude · 29-05-2016 09:35PM

Sam Smith was last year before Florence.

MJohnston · 29-05-2016 09:51PM

Actually it was last year before Blur. 10pm though, definitely not late afternoon!

I was happy enough, gave me plenty of time to recharge my batteries and get something to eat!

Yes yes yes, it's the summer festival, the truly detestable summer festival?

Blackie_IRL · 30-05-2016 08:57AM

Apparently there is still a lot of bad blood between FR and Reynolds, considering FFF is this weekend I wouldn't be surprised if EP make their announcement on Friday. If it is a big announcement with Radiohead included for example it'll be the talk of the town over the weekend. It might sound petty but I've seen plenty of tit for tat between rival festivals down through the years.

Holy Fvck's new album is fantastic .. Jut saying ..

Well worth saying.

Just listening to Martin Fry on BBC 5, Abc are touring with Lexicon of Love 2, free that weekend, could be a good shout for a legacy act?

Played in 2009 (half of the set I caught was excellent, missed the rest as they clashed with Magazine) and the bookers don't seem to bring back the legacy acts. I'd love them again, and it's been eleven years for The Human League (playing Bestival) so them as well.

bodhrandude · 30-05-2016 05:11PM

Did this lot ever play the Picnic, they totally sum up this beautiful balmy evening at the moment.

Edit: It seems they played the Picnic in 2014 at the Other Voices stage, I think they would be more suited to the afternoon main stage myself.

I read somewhere that they were recording and due for release this summer. Do you think I can find the article?
