But didn't we all agree that Lana Del Ray wasn't a headliner and she's still on the top of the poster? :rolleyes:;)

she's a headliner and has always been billed as such.

the question is more whether she'll play last or not, which given her style of music, is quite unlikely IMO.
we've had headliners playing 2nd last in recent years, or even 3rd last in Bjork's case, with non-headliners playing last sometimes (eg. Pet Shop Boys).

I see LDR playing 2nd last, with either Chems/LCD/New Order after her.

He isint on the very top row of the poster though, which is usually where the headliners tend to be placed.

Thanks be to Fxxk I'll be in Pink Moon camping this year-if i see an accoustic guitar in there i'm going to complain and have them ejected:D:D

Noel Gallagher, jesus, big climbdown from Radiohead

At least it's too late for his more knackery fans to buy tickets

Nas and the Shins are two I've been dying to see for ages though so not all bad.

BananaR · 02-06-2016 01:57PM

Badly in need of few more electronic acts. They can't all be Casa Bacardi fare...Happy with John Talabot but many more required.

3rd time in 4 years they've been booked too. Bring back Oxegen.

I rarely remember bands that I'm not interested in over the many years at EP. The exceptions being that they're so bad it's impossible to forget. The 1975 fall into that category.

On the announcement itself, admittedly I'm not up to speed with what's good these days but as ever it's completely underwhelming for me.

At least it's made and I can focus completely on the Euros.

Get Holy **** or **** off.

mejulie805 · 02-06-2016 02:19PM

Definitely expecting another announcement with big names after this- maybe with the last remaining ticket sale?
So up for Nas though!

Was hoping for Four Tet and Kaytranada as both seem to be nearby in the preceeding weeks.
Still possible I guess!

EP said in the Facebook comments there'll be another sale for 3 Plus customers - think this was only 50 tickets last year though.

Yeah would be great additions. I was still holding out hope for Moderat. prob Should have gone to vicar Street but it was weds/Thurs night. I fully expected them on either FF or EP line-up...

That's not a ticket sale..

that's a rounding error

PabloAndRoy · 02-06-2016 02:49PM

Underwhelmed with this announcement.

Surprised nobody has mentioned Nao as a strong addition .. Possibly the best vocalist of the entire festival?

Edit: Yeah I see she was in the first announcement .. I do remember that now .. still class though!

2nd announcement still underwhelming .. thats just me... Its all very guitar focussed these days ..

Amirani · 02-06-2016 02:55PM

So frigging happy about The Shins. Been wanting to see them for years.

Noel and LCD have a headline slot each which still leaves the sat night headline slot vacant some how?
which of those do you think are playing friday night mate lol.

I could see LCD on the Friday and NG on the Sunday. I don't see why not based on previous years.

They generally have a big headliner on the Friday iirc and you'd imagine with the other arena's only partially opened then the main stage is a bigger draw on the Friday.

Ah very possible.. but 3Plus did a presale last year in November or something and that didnt happen this year

Fatfrog · 02-06-2016 03:32PM

The 1975's..... again.

Arne_Saknussem · 02-06-2016 03:40PM

Surprised they haven't gone for someone like Iggy or Patti Smith or their ilk.

scruff monkey · 02-06-2016 03:43PM

There's a distinct lack of still kicking it legacy acts in the line of Simple Minds/Stranglers/Boomtown Rats in the line up.

I'd reckon there'll be another announcement.

agreed. maybe James or Suede - both touring at the moment and have been around for a long time.

scruff monkey · 02-06-2016 03:55PM

Still hoping for Miss Polly Jean too.

Bootsy. · 02-06-2016 04:25PM

After all that anticipation, that was a big let down for me.

Toots, Nas, Bat For Lashes, Talabot, fair enough. Big fat meh to the rest. A lot of watered-down middle-of-the-road oxegen-reject indie blandness.

Still lots to be excited about overall though!

GhostMutt30 · 02-06-2016 04:56PM

There's only a few must sees for me but that just makes me wander about more and discover more acts I normally wouldn't see

At least you'll be there!

I'm baffled and will remain baffled about lana del Ray as a headliner

Ferris_Bueller · 02-06-2016 05:45PM

Jesus, we were way off with most of our predictions, only two it seems we got right were the 1975 & Catfish & the Bottlemen. Not too much that I would be big into personally but probably a few I might check out all the same, Nas, **** Robot, The 1975, DJ EZ, John Talabot & a few more I'll definitely have to listen to a bit more. Anyone who is still holding out for Radiohead will be left disappointed at this stage, cannot see another headliner added, Noel Gallagher wouldn't have been my choice but he has a big fanbase and fills the headliner gap. It will now probably be something like New Order on the Friday, Noel Gallagher & Chemical Brothers on Saturday and Lana & LCD on the Sunday, you could easily swap Noel Gallagher and LCD around either. Possibly Nas or someone before New Order on the Friday night? There will be another announcement in July I would guess but doubt there will be anyone too big added, would like one or two older acts as someone mentioned a few posts up it is very lacking in this.

Also heard last night that Red Bull will no longer be doing the woods, and that they will be moving the RBMA into the main arena (another poster also heard this a few weeks back). Heard that '3' will possibly be taking over the woods, possibly an announcement from them to come and then they might release that extra batch of tickets for 3 customers? Just guessing.

Guaranteed to have a cracking line up by the time September rolls around anyway!
