    More bands added. Nice little addition really, nothing mid-blowing. Hypnotic Brass, Foals and UNKLE are a good boost.
    f

    Not mind-blowing? :eek:

    Was crewing for them last year on the B&S mainstage. Absolute gents and SOME musicians.

    Never stayed with them but as far benefits go, they'll be located in the boutique campsite, so should have all the benefits that come with that. Best location, more space, less noise, better facilities (hopefully better toilets etc..).

    Podpads look nice but maybe a bit small. I'm staying with Tangerine Fields this year in a yurt. Some pics here of what they should be like. They're €420 and look a little more spacious.

    If it's worth it or not, I don't know. We camped last year and didn't like it. So if we enjoy the festival more this year because of staying in boutique camping then it will be worth it.


    stayed in a yurt last year. the tent was grand alright, and loadsa space about, but queued for a shower for over an hour on sunday morning, and the jacks were a no go on saturday. luckily i had contacts with one of the stalls who had their own jacks!
    the only benefit really was the location.

    I know I sound like an old-fogey saying this but the Comfy Crapper is the only way to go at the Picnic.

    To be fair he did say that they were a good boost to the line-up. I'm guessing he meant none of the acts added were big names.

    But I agree that they are unreal live. Seen them in Cork last year during the Jazz festival and they put on some show. One of the best gigs I've been to. Delighted they've been added.

    Seen Beardyman a few weeks ago and he was good as well. Happy with todays announcement overall.

    Who was it you stayed with last year? Was it Tangerine Fields? They have 'Added Juice' this year, so they have their own toilets. Not sure what type they are though. Is it portable ones you're on about? That is a long wait for a shower. Baby wipes ftw! :pac:

    lol, we were in the queue last year and saw them handing them out. Couldn't make out what they were for. That's not what I was thinking :pac:
    Why don't they use keys :confused:

    That's not why we left btw, just couldn't be arsed waiting.

    I just got accepted to volunteer with body and soul, so excited! The only thing is in the email they say that I need to include my application ID,with my deposit. I've never been given one. I checked with friend, who's also volunteering and he hasn't received one either. Anyone know how to get one/find it out? Thanks.

    Sickened that a lot of the bands that seem more suited to EP are now at oxegen. I know its a kind of ****ty attitude but oxegen will have such a different atmosphere and one I particularly dont like.

    That would be great. I've only ever seen Mountain Goats once live - on a double bill with Micah P Hinson - but they were fantastic.

    I am so jealous. I've listened to them and the magnetic fields and pretty much nothing else the last week. They have two of the greatest songwriters alive today...

    It's organisationally easier too, and it means you won't have one day sold out while another is half-deserted.

    Oooh this is a pretty good lineup so far, I'm torn between EP and Sziget this year. If only the two lineups could be merged!

    I would love to go to sziget but i cant book flights till my results come out on the first of july and by then thet'll be far far too expensive unfortunately.

    The electric picnic lineup is brillant, way better than oxegen! But would an older crowd (as in late twenties, early thirties) be more likely to frequent EP??

    Generally it's a bit of an older crowd but there's still plenty of young folk about too.

    Basically EP is a 23-35 crowd with a few young uns running around

    Oxegen is 17-22 with a few old uns walking around

    I bought a 2 tickets on the deposit scheme. my next date to pay the 80 quid installments was 30th june. However the elec picnic site now says 23rd july which suits me better.

    Anyway i can find out when my card will be charged next? apart from trying to ring ticketmaster & being left on hold forever....

    i was 23 at EP and felt i was slightly below the average age, 25ish seems to be the average.makes for a much better festival.

    yeah i think we're due an announcement too at this stage, but with oxegen around the corner, they might wait till after and announce all the acts then with one big push to sell tickets maybe?

    Do people reckon we've had the major headliners/acts all announced at this stage or will a few more big ones be added? Its lacking a bit for me personally, still plenty to see but it just needs one or two more big acts and a few more djs and id be there.
