Electric Picnic announced tonight

So at 6pm it will go up on the website. I won't be able to report on it until later tonight, because some bright sparks at UCD decided that sending us out to Blackrock to do an exam at 7.30 is a good idea. They also like to schedule them on the same night on as alternative music gigs (Sufjan Stevens, Arcade Fire), resulting in many a sprint to the DORT station afterwards.

Anyway, its seems that the shoe-ins are The Beastie Boys, Bjork, Chemical Brothers, The Jesus And Mary Chain, LCD Soundsystem, Wilco, The Good The Bad The Queen, Jarvis Cocker , Primal Scream, Modest Mouse and The Shins

I've heard a couple of mentions of Sonic Youth, but I'm unsure as to the plausibility. I remain fairly confident of The Smashing Pumpkins, but just don't expect them to be announced tonight.
