Oh yes! Yo La Tengo would be super. Saw them play at The Ambassador a few years ago (on a Sunday or Monday night) having caned it that weekend at a wedding in County Clare. Wasn't exactly in the best frame of mind but they rocked, shi**y venue aside. Love the 3CD "Prisoners of Love" best-of and value for money with a capital V. One objection. I think The White Stripes would be a great act for EP. Saw 'em live in Keyspan Park, Coney Island and they were incredible.

The Raconteurs have a better chance than The White Stripes of playing Electric Picnic. They would indeed be worth seeing live.

yeah, that's a great wishlist of punchbowl's although note there are no big enough bands to ruin the vibe... i agree that ep is about breaking down barriers but there are good ways to do that... having prince there is not one of them for all the reasons i've stated above... i'm sure you get where i was coming from?...don't you? *for prince, substitute rolling stones or eminem or red hot chilli peppers or paul mccartney or madonna etc... - not the quality mind, just the quantity*

You know, often the guy/gal with the great taste in music is often the most annoying prick of all. Some of the soundest, craic-laden people have s**te taste. Sometimes I might rather stand beside a Frames fan pissed up on booze than a loud music snob. Remember the cinema line in Annie Hall?

You know who you are. Or DO you....? I agree that certain acts are always gonna attract higher percentages of "undesirables" but when it comes down to it, your off in a field with your mates in the sun (hopefully) with your pick of great/interesting music all around you. There'll be arseholes there every year. And when I found myself in festival limbo last year while Bluntmaster was on, I went and got me a pie. I got tix 3 weeks ago knowing it'll be fun regardless of the line-up.

Am I right in thinking that they never play on stage and just set up on the fllor. Or am I thinking of Liars?

Don't know if they never play on stage, but they definately like being at the centre of a maelstrom. You're going to ATP, yeah? Keep an eye on them. The last one they played, they did their scheduled gig and another one later on, underneath a tree outside some chalets. Gonna catch them myself in Leap, Cork in May.

palace,i dont think there is such a thing as 'your average prince fan'.there are not enough huge prince fan's ,i would say, to warrant them being a stereotype.he would definitely add to any festival,having that 'lots of songs everyone knows and can party to' vibe and also the 'look,up there,its an important part of music history and not just the latest chancer' vibe. I think there are certain artists that anyone who is into music as an art should want to see,whether directly being a fan or not,and the short-arse hendrix is one!

diego, maybe i'm a bit out of touch with prince but the last time i remember him playing a gig in scotland (where i lived), he sold out murrayfield stadium... the only people i knew who went to that were 4 girlfriends who go to about one gig every two years and who love jim diamond, james last and david gray - if he were to play ep, they would turn up at about 6.30 on the day, watch no one else, then watch prince and then go home... ...now, that's not to say prince ain't produced some great music - he has... maybe i'm getting clouded by that - maybe prince means something different these days... that's all beside my point anyway, the point being - "an enormous commercial selling act would ruin the vibe"

Actually, No. I had heard rumours of some solo stuff but ddn't think it was anywhere near completion.. That would be cool indeed. I'd still much prefer a full on Pulp reunion. It will eventually happen but it might be too soon..

palace, i just dont think Prince would be on your average radio listeners radar in a big enough way to cause a tumult of tossers laoiswards. It would be the icing on the cake for a large amount of the serious music fans who are already going,a chance to see a legend should never be turned down.what if he dies of short next year?? what if i was in the shower and i slipped on a bar of soap!! oh my god id be dead! i accept your point with an act like Blunt,Gray,Chilis,Eminem but not with Prince................................dont you want to party like its 1999!

I heard a while ago (not that I was meant to tell anyone, but f**k it) that Prince was due to do some kind of secret gig in Vicar Street. I heard it a couple of months ago and nothing ever happened. But now that he's promising gigs, it might be one to keep an eye on.

The last time he was here he played shed loads of instrumentals etc at a gig in the point. Afterwards he headed to spirit and played for 3 hours and charged an extra 70 quid

Hey, maybe he won't even play and we can all look back and laugh about this. The divisive little tart.
