All the ‘youngsters’ will be back from Oxygen soon and this place is on the verge of being bombarded with pics and stories of how great the line - up was. I agree. If the line up was for The Picnic…. it’d have been a sell-out already. To the EP. I was there last year. I have my tickets booked for this year. Booked them a while ago now. But I’m mumbled in my mind at this moment… I dont’t know exactly why… ?
