not a patch on previous lineups....

Still at odds as to whether I'll bother going...

i think it's easily the best yet.

It's a festival just go and party. Bring your own booze and its not too expensive a weekend, after ticket costs obviously.

Beastie boys instrumental set could quite possibly be the highlight for me. Cheers for the tips so far keep'em coming.

So many bands i've half-vaguely interested in, so few i'm actually into.

I blame pitchfork.

 

[CitySickness]

Absolutely.

My Brightest Diamond well worth checking out, if you like yer torch singers. Could be all weird in a tent though.

i wouldn't agree at all - what was on in previous years that you're missing this time?

 

[broken arm]

yes they are deadly..

who left the gates open at NCAD?

 

[Buzz Fledderjon]

cheers for the list of bands. hadn't seen anything on it on the website.

i only know a few of the bands, but that just gives me even more to look into!

 

[Jill Hives]

I blame pitchfork.

Me too. It is almost a scientific, things they give 6 or 7's, I love and bands they rave over, I just don't get. Plus I just hate the pompous reviewers. I swear if I ever overheard one of them talking shit in a pub, I'd kick them in the shins.

i kinda can't wait for this, last year was one of the funnest weekends ever. I'm going to have to do a bit of researchy, i don't know lots of bands on the bill at all. although its fun to wander into a tent and just listen. Also - i may finally go see Damien Dempsey.

 

[La La]

after reading that full line up, im mega excited too. some of the acts im really looking forward to, others i've never heard of, but fuck it. sure it's a weekend away with heaps of kopparberg, tents and *hopefully* some sun. and heaps of music. just make sure you dont pitch your tent anyway near where the manics wil be playing and you'll be grand!

 

[evil bandit]

I guess I'll have a lot of room to jig around when the Manics come on which is fine by me

As is the fact that they're playing Le Tristessa Durera, Motown Junk, From Despair to Where and Stay Beautiful on this tour .|..|.|..|.|..|.|..|

Don't suppose you happen to know where in their set they'll be playing Le Tristessa Durera, wouldn't mind hearing that live. For memories sake as long as they don't ruin it like.

 

[cephalopod]

haven't read whole thread, so apologies if this has been mentioned before....

but, this close to the festival, is anyone else worried by lack of full line up, etc...

some would think it shows a lack of organisation this year?

Why be worried? The line-up as it stands is easily the best of the year. Modest Mouse, Bjork, Chems, Deerhoof, Final Fantasy, Jesus and Mary Chain and sonic youth are enough for me alone. People always sweat it on the line-up for these things, but in reality, I for one am lucky if I get to see 50% of the acts that sound promising, and sure a 100% superstellar lineup at a festival like electric picnic, a line-up consisting of nothing but bands you really want to see, means that at least 4 or 5 will be playing simultaneously! Me I'm happy with the line-up, just give me the weather, a nice camping spot and a little help from my friends and I intend to have the best weekend of my year.

 

[cephalopod]

Wouldn't mind seeing some more decent dance acts, some of the german boyz, laurent garnier can fuck off though...worst set EVER!!!

It's mainly been towards the end of the set from what I can see.
