Where are you getting this? You've now got me extremely excited for Portishead Dentalplan...

Festival maths really. Pottos head are doing RES the week before and it's the sort of festival that they'd do if they're touring at the time.

Slowdive because they weren't announced for Longitude and will likely be still touring at that time.

I guess so. EP is the only festival in IRL Slowdive would play though so yeah, I can see them there. This year Longtitude has gone all shit charts-y so won't be attracting the likes of them.

Well Portishead is playing Rock en Seine festival in France the weekend before the Picnic

So they are definitely touring europe in August and they seem like the type of band that would close the main stage on Sunday like Massive Attack. The Prodigy would be nice too it would make up for the visual disappointment on Saturday night of Disclosure last year, their music wasn't bad but visually cold. The Prodigy for late Saturday on the main stage would more than make up for that, plus they fit the bill, classic retro mid 1990s greatest hits set. I'm also hoping they announce Aphex Twin, he has never played the Picnic.

Portishead will be an excellent headliner at the picnic, their style fits perfect with festival atmosphere.

From the rock en seine line up, I would also like to see Lana, QOTSA and Prodigy at the electric picnin line up and I don't mind seeing warpaint again but I think it's unlilkely since they played last year.

Bumpy:

"Another fake poster but quite a good one as the person thought out the type of line up and bands plausible for the Picnic, the proper announcement so you know is coming out at 11am next Wednesday, wouldn't have minded the line up here though.

Looking at the acts they did get, I don't think Queens would have been a right fit.

Yeah, I'm assuming its a case of FR not going for them because of that reason, rather than Queens knocking them back.

Still Portishead, Beck, Foals, Lily Allen, Chic, St. Vincent etc. is one of the best lineups I've seen this year.

Very good initial line up. It's seems this year they are back to roots as they did get many mainstream acts

Anyway I just hope Damon Albarn gets added and it will be a stellar for me :)

great initial line up, would love to see a good dance act lined up for the main stage... like fatboy last year, or even orbital the year before
