Electric Picnic lineup...what do you think?

chris d

that's what she said! COME ON!!!

A pox on the Ticket for naming Gomez as their 'if you have to' choice for the friday night. Im hoping they dont clash with Jape, the stunning or the yard dogs. Brewing Up A Storm could kick things off at 5ish nicely.

I've got a terrible buzz on now. These next 4 days in work are going to suck the balls of satan. New maps on the picnic website showing a new Warhol campsite beside Hendrix. Looks like the place to go for a quiter than Wilde, but not too far from the pulse. Im hoping anyway.

Lainabaina

anyone got any info on campsites from previous years - which ones are messy/quiet/close to stuff? Wilde looks like it'll fill up quickly but Chaplin looks like a right trek to and from the car parks...

opinions on best place to camp? also what time to leave dublin on the Friday to miss most traffic?

We left Ballinteer last year about 9.30, and were down for about 11, no queueing and no hassle, straight to the campsite to set up. :P

Leaked line up

As soon as I saw Gomez were playing in the Crawdaddy stage a few weeks back I knew this would happen. Fair few other clashes for me also.

quarryman

Its like the organisers looked into my mind and picked the only 2 bands I really wanted to see and clashed them.

boo!

danniemcq

one quick thing though the sunday lineup why are Hayseed Dixie times in 24 hour format and not any of the others?

danniemcq

oh and if you get a taxi does anyone know if it can leave you at main entrance near yellow campsite, the one top right corner of the map

Toast

I wouldnt read anything into it. Just a typo.

I think that either the artist booklet or a second sheet of this must exist as as soon as this leaked there was several myspace bulletins from bands who suddenly had their playing times and who arent on this list. Keep an eye out people.

doonothing

I'm happy! Grinderman, then MBV, I don't even have to move?
Although I'll probably leggit off to see LOTP for a bit in the middle.
EEEEP!

IanCurtis

Not a bad final line-up that.

Ham Sandwich are on very early though

Mushy

Nice one...Gutter Twins straight into Sigur Rós! Only bad thing i the Grinderman/MBV/Conor Oberst thing...I'm sure I'll end up seeing none of them.

Tusky

Crystal Castles & Santagold are clashing and also Booka Shade & Digitalism. Pretty crappy.

honru

Wow, I'm not looking too bad at all for clashing. Worst would be The Roots against Stephen Malkmus but I've seen both of them before so no biggie.

That notion may change though as I start checking out all the acts I'm unfamiliar with. :pac:

chris d

Sigur Ros & Gomez
Malkmus & Grinderman

gutted. im going to have to man up, or cry for a bit. haven't decided yet.

the oberst - chromeo and underworld - tindersticks clashes are a pain in the tits too.

no idea what im going to do about the rosomez one. buggerit.

tman

Gutted by Sigur Rós and Tiga clashing... Total opposites of the music spectrum, but two acts that I equally don't want to miss:(

eoinf

***** grinderman Stephen Maklmus and the dodos clashing.

doonothing

**** that they're clashing...
But is anyone gonna go to anything but Grinderman? **** the bed.

John Mason

i cant believe christy moore is playing at 7.45pm, i mean what is that all about - i know he is old but i am sure he could stay up a bit later

eoinf

for some reason im getting a red x this morning , prob the work filter.

can someone email it to me eoinf365@gmail.com

Even though they're so different, I reckon a lot of people will be disappointed with this one

They're both great live too, maybe it'll be a dash from one to the other kinda thing.

I'm guessing that's because they're a small, not-well-known Irish band?

Tickets back up lads!

If you had the chance to meet the Eileen's at the EP last year.....
Watch this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXqH4W5nrQ8

Last year, RTE followed a grandmother and a great grandmother as they took Electric Picnic by storm. This year they’re back to help Amnesty International bring bingo to the masses and celebrate the 60th birthday of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In an extraordinary theatrical performance caught on camera, Amnesty International filmed the Eileen’s secret pre-Picnic routine.

Starring Murf and Mac: Grandmother Eileen Murphy and Great Grandmother Eileen McGillycuddy from Killorglin, Co. Kerry.

Anybody see Underworld tent being full this year? Were people stopped going into Beastie Boys last year?

Thinking Cut Copy to Underworld - chance that you won't get into Underworld??
They could have put them on the main stage

If time is tight i wouldnt risk it. I couldnt get into the Beasties last year becuase it was full.

tman

The Electric tent is going to be absolutely mobbed for Underworld, I'll definitely be getting there as early as possible to avoid standing outside it...
Terrible bit of planning really, the main stage would have been better suited, and they've usually had electronic acts on there to close things on Saturday night. (Chemical Brothers, Groove Armada, Fatboy Slim...)

Its likely to be as bad as Beastie Boys, which was dangerously packed.

It'll be a major disappointment for a lot of people again. I was pissed off last year because the Beasties were one of the acts i really wanted to see.


This year they have Tindersticks and Underworld playing at the same time and both in tents! I should have no problem getting to see Tindersticks, but i was looking forward to Underworld as well. Damnit!!!!

/throws rattle out of the pram!!!

I made out this timetable for printing: http://www.mediafire.com/?33u3gjxxgax

Easy enough to see who clashes with who.

So here's my viewing plan for Friday,
Whatchez think?

Yurd Dogs – cos they are first on
Le Galaxie – just heard yesterday they used to be 66e, a band I used to like but I want to see the Mighty Step and Giveamanakick are good too, theres going to be running between tents for this hour
Fred – or New Young Pony Club – played an excellent gig at Oxegyn last year I think?
Jape - (because its Richie Egan)
The Stunning and Joan As a Police Women, the latter is supposed to be a recommended highlight according to State and Hot Press plus got to see some of the former for sheer nostalgia
Oh dear, this is getting harder!
Will stick my head into Christy Moore (also for nostalgia) on my way to the Presets
Glodfrapp – for about 15 minutes just to say I saw them
Digitalism
skipping the gutter twins altogether)
Sigur Ros

....... this schedule does not include beer or loo breaks!

Very similar day to what il be having.

Le Galaxie
Jape
Presets
Digitalism
Sigur Ros

Pissed about missing Gutter Twins, Gomez, Booka Shade, Goldfrapp, Carbon Silicon. Thats 5 of the bands really high on my list taken out.

Miguel_Sanchez

Unless there's a miracle with the traffic I think I'm definitely going to miss Jape. Damn it - missed him at Loop Festival too.

Curse this job of mine!

Furious-Red

if you have nothing else to do head to the POD stage on Saturday night at 8pm to watch carosel for some great relaxing easy flowing music.http://www.myspace.com/caroselmusic

I am heading up to Stradbally tomorrow morning after a mad day today of getting things ready.
We will be in the new greeencrafts area demonstrating some eco building techniques.Drop by if you have the time.
Thanks for all the info. Its a shame about the Booka Shade / Digitalism clash (prob Booka Shade for me),
but Saturday in the Little Big tent makes up for it.
Dan Deacon ,Silver Apples, Crystal Castles and then The Digital Mystics.
And maybe even time to catch a bit of Grace Jones in between !

Have a good one.

Crystal castles on same time as Underworld. :(:(:(

I'm with you on Booka Shade.

knackadog

that line-up will change. George clinton wont be on that late and Underworld will move into that slot. Christy should be on the main stage like he was at Feile '92. Anyway, Jah Wobble's Chinese Dub is where its at, Sunday on the Jazz Stage.

invincibleirish

Offered Ticket Monday and took it, i look forward to Santogold & Sigur Ros in particular.

And the pleasure of listening to my beloved Villa wallop Liverpool on Sunday afternoon.

dereko1969

anyone seen any foldie up chairs around dublin city or has everyone bought theirs already? as an old man can't be doing with all that standing around so need a chair, are there still some left around mary street (haven't gotten north side yet)?

saturday night is going to be a nightmare, would probably go to all the bands listed around 10, going to be a tough call, haven't seen tindersticks in some time but santogold could be worth seeing as could crystal castles. and i have to go to wilco so will miss out on the camptastic grace jones, ah well.
