Well I might as well start this new thread, who would you like to see announced for this, I hope that they announce a few names again around December, if they are on the ball I hope they have scooped Aphex Twin seeing that he's been announced for some festivals in Europe in June next summer.  I've got my campaign up and running again to get him to the Picnic, join if you feel inclined as he has never played this festival in its history.  https://www.facebook.com/groups/306301782765054/

Rumblings that we might get the first announcement of this the week of the 20th March. Sadly, Rich is confirmed for Forbidden Fruit so unlikely to be playing Stradbally. I remember seeing School of Aphex allumnus Chris Cunningham melt a few brains at EP a could years back.

Could be a leak or a fake, who knows but some nice thought in that line up there.

Official one looks almost the same. There's no Phoenix

line-up has been there for hours.

Which is probably why it sold out.

I think most people assumed that was fake though and there's lots of complaints on their facebook page about the lineup. I really love the under card (plus The XX and ATCQ) but agree that they could do with another big headliner. Still going regardless though.

I reckon they'll confirm Phoenix, then we'll get a few of Jesus and Mary Chain, Ash, Franz Ferdinand, Arab Strap, Frightened Rabbit, Peter Hook & The Light, Cabbage, The Cribs, Sugarhill Gang, Charli XCX, Haim, Slaves, British Sea Power, Hothouse Flowers, Justice, maybe some Beatles Sgt Peppers tribute...

Well it looks like the last announcement will be Friday, Le Galaxie tweeted that they might be in the big announcement on Friday, it seems that the Picnic is one of the last festivals on the Efestivals forum to announce their acts for 2017.  I heard that A Tribe Called Quest had cancelled one of their August festival shows due to grief about previous members who have passed on, lets hope they don't cancel the rest of the August and September shows.
