The picnic talks thing was mentioned today in some national paper and on the hot press site. coachella havethe same partners an organizers as the picnic crowd and the bands generally work with both fesivals. oxegen is another fest over here and thats for drunk kids and shit bands like razorlight and stereoeoeoeoeoeoeophonics but they throw money at bands to play it, they outbid the picnic.
bjork was to play oxegen this year and the picnic had to offer her a huge amount to not play......... oxegen= shite, picnic= class festival....
the fear this year was that battles get offered a huge amount to play 2pm in a tent at oxegen instead of picnic at midnight in front of a huge crowd..... its possibe as battles are fucking uge in ireland, theyve played here 6 times in the last 18 months and the last gig was their biggest crowd ever anywhere!
anyway i digress....... yeah seemingly this isnt a rumour, its official news.......
