THE LINE UP for Electric Picnic 2019 was announced this morning and it’s fair to say that it’s pretty good.
Beforehand, people were making some predictions

Tickets haven’t sold out just yet but most people are only delighted with the line up.

— Joe Donnelly (@kildarejoe) March 15, 2018
1. Omg soooooo good Dua Lipa slay kween 🤩 Kendrick TAKE MY MONEY
2. wtf dunno who any of them are, where da fuk is Kasabian? 🤔
People can’t seem to handle that music tastes have changed in the last little while
"Who even are they?"
— James O'Donnell (@shmiddlerslist) March 15, 2018
"Never heard of any of them" "Modern bands are shite, real music is dead"
And who would you rather see play?
"Dunno really. Someone good like"#EP2018
That being said if you haven’t been paying attention to music in the last while, the acts might be confusing
Ah lads... that's not an #ElectricPicnic lineup... that's a list of things that will HAPPEN at Electric Picnic... Gang of Youths... Garbage... Massive Attack... Friendly Fires... Cigarettes after Sex #EP2018

And to be fair, the line up could have been a lot worse
I see #ElectricPicnic #EP2018 have released their line up today. Tickets were on sale since last weekend. Imagine finding out it was Big Tom & the Mainliners, Declan Nerney, Derek Ryan and the Carter Twins? Be some kick in the bollocks in fairness.

And you’re always going to enjoy yourself when you get there because you’ll usually find something great
It's mad how so many people get so annoyed every year when the EP lineup comes out. If their favourite act is not top of the bill it's deemed shit. Kendrick sold out 3Arena in minutes, he's an unreal headliner. Great diversity across all the other acts too.

Also can we talk about Dua Lipa
The thoughts of thousands of women collectively singing New Rules together at Electric Picnic gives me goosebumps

We also have some questions
Who is playing the David McWilliams tent though? #ep2018
— Ian Wright (@ihwright) March 15, 2018
All in all though we’re pretty happy
I'M FUCKING BUZZINGGGGG #EP2018 pic.twitter.com/Xgf1erPbZm
