I know I keep saying it, but I'm ridiculously excited about Yeah Yeah Yeahs. They are probably in my top 5 of bands on planet earth I want to see before I croak it.
That may be over the top, but as I said - ridiculously excited.

I don't understand how a Massive Attack show would work live. Nearly all my favourite Massive Attack songs are colaborations with vocalists like Shara Nelson, Horace Andy, Tricky, Tracey Thorn, Nicolette, Elizabeth Fraser, Sinéad O'Connor and Terry Callier. Considering that none of these people tour with Massive Attack how do do the songs work live. Can anyone fill me in? |

I saw Massive Attack at Witness and it was alright - the operate the same stage policy as Basement Jaxx in that even though on record there are a bunch of various vocalists, they generally just have one or two with them live who just do everything.

Yeah saw them supported Radiohead in 97 in the RDS, didn't think they were that great live tbh but you'd expect they'll put on a good show for a headline slot like this.

have seen massive attack a good few times live (last time in the olympia when "Mezzanine" was released) and its not pretty. usually have horace andy and one female vocalist onstage to handle the singing bits that 3-d and daddy g dont do. as much as i love massive attack on record, i really hope theres something better on when they take to the stage at the picnic.

I saw them at the same gig as Comet, couldn't figure out if Horace Andy was dedicating a song to the country people or the concious people, I do remember that it felt like the bass was kicking me in the chest which was rather cool.

Anyone know of acts that aren't officially announced but have scheduled dates in Ireland for the long September weekend?

im still wondering whether Smashing Pumpkins will the the 'surprise' draw. They definately need someone else - someone bigger than what has already been anounced.

Dot Allison did all the female vocal parts last time I saw em in the Point in '03. Brilliant gig. She might still be with them for EP.

According to Tom Dunne this week the latest is that they are definitely in the studio recording a new album! Would be some coup if they signed them up for EP. |

I'd be very suprised if they were announced at the picnic. They seem much more like an Oxegen band to me.

Wasn't there three headline acts to each day last year? If so, that would mean that there are nine headliners for this year. With Massive Attack, New Order, Pet Shop Boys, Gary Numan, Basement Jaxx, Groove Armada and Blue Nile (if they are all in fact headliners and not merely signed up), that means there is a possibilty of at least two big headliners still be announced. So maybe we should speculate as to who they might be!!!
Beastie Boys?
Morrissey?

The blue nile are playing on sunday afternoon with the dublin gospel choir. i'd imagine the YYYs will be high up the bill on one of the nights.
