addicted2noise Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 It'll be interesting to see who headlines, Chemical Brothers are doing Bestival but are unlikely as they're also playing Longitude. Hopefully Tame Impala, Underworld and maybe a bigger act like Florence or even Blur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Rob Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) From the acts that around and not playing an other Irish Festival......I think the potential headliners could be from Underworld, Grace Jones, Florence, Mumford & Sons and Blur(which I 'm really hoping for) Edited February 24, 2015 by A-Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davywalsh7 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Tickets back on sale next weds with official lineup announcement. Really haven't a clue who'll be announced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanndy Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 My prediction for the initial announcement, based on nothing but wild speculation Underworld Florence and The Machine Bastille Tame Impala Super Furry Animals Royal Blood Madness The Jacksons Ride The Maccabees Grace Jones Stornoway James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-Rob Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 No real surprises in the line up, but I'm very happy with the initial line up.....Electric picnic (number 3) here I come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

addicted2noise Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Getting Battles is a bit of coup, don't think they're even touring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frrrraaappp head Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 I reckon there will be a new announcement in the next week or two, looking forward to see how the line up spreads out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Rob Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Who do you think will the final headliner be ? I'm hoping for Blur, but I think it will be Mumford and Sons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addicted2noise Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 I'm hoping for Blur too but Mumford seem a bit more likely looking at their dates also I think The Strokes could be a possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastynh Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Read on a City forum tonight that The Stone Roses are rumoured to be a EP. I have no information apart from the rumour that was posted. I just had a read on here to see if there were any murmurings. http://forums.bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=311328&start=110 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanndy Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Hope it's not Mumfords, they wouldn't inflict Florence AND Mumfords on us, would they? Thinking there may be a reason why they're holding off announcing the third headliner, maybe to tie in with another announcement by the same act?

Frrrraaappp head Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Good news the Electric Picnic Twitter tweeted a few days ago that the second announcement will be on early May, I presume the announcement date will be 6th May as EP never make announcements on bank holiday Monday for some reason. Lots of people in the EP forum on Boards.ie reckon Blur is going to be announced as a headliner as they haven't announced an Irish date as yet for their new tour, so fingers crossed for that.

addicted2noise Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 The Strokes, Mumford & Sons and Kasabian have no Irish dates this year yet either. I'm hoping for Blur but I'm not sure if they'll do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davywalsh7 Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Muse are headlining bestival. Wonder could they be at electric picnic too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Rob Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Muse became a possibility as well, since it turned out they are headlining Bestival Personally I hope Blur takes the final headline slot, even tough I would be happy with Muse as well.

addicted2noise Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Has anyone ever volunteered with the festival before? You'll probably have more luck asking on boards.ie as it's a bit more active Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
