Hi guys,
I was wondering if someone might be able to help me. Myself and the other half are thinking of heading to EP this sept with our little fella. we have the chance to bring a campervan however from last years festival layout the campervan area appears to be separate from the family camping area.
Is it possible to bring a camper van to the family area?.. it would be nice to be around other families with small kids.
thanks in advance!

A: We have a designated Family Campsite, ensure you buy a Family ticket for each adult. Children are free. Click here to register your details and we will send you out a Family Guideline booklet closer to the time.



Camping Questions

* Q: Can I park my car beside my tent?
A: No, vehicles aren't permitted into any of the campsites for health & safety reasons.
* Q: What facilities are there? Will there be showers?
A: There are hot showers, wash basins and toilets. Their location will be shown on the festival map which will be available online closer to the time. Note: showers are communal, the bashful amongst you should bring swimwear!

We would define this as having its own in-built kitchen facilities and toilet.

I met Marcus Mumford on middle abbey st. today. Asked him could he get me in tonight but he couldn't sort me out. I said I'd see him in Oxegen so and he said "and the electric picnic."
So there's an exclusive for ye folks..

That's great news, still for both festivals i'd imagine they will be on one of the bigger stages. Tonights gig would be awesome, if only I could have got a ticket

That_Guy

I'd say some of the lineup will be announced on 24th of March as that's when the site for 2010 is launched.

I have a feeling Doves will be playing.

Tricky's 15 year anniversary of Maxinaquaye is this year do you could be right about him. Flaming Lips again?

Im having a major problem with ticketmaster at the moment, Im trying to snap up an earlybird before the major announcement, when they end. My problem being that I live in Scotland and Im having problems buying a ticket for EP. I dont know if its something to do with my IP, but everytime I select Find tickets, it takes me to the EP page but the rest of it under Onsale Now is left blank???? Having talked with someone on the EP forum, he showed me a screen shot of his page from ticketmaster.ie which had the missing details filled in that wasnt on my page. I am defaulted with ticketmaster.ie, but my address reads Scotland on the same page. What am I doing wrong and how do I get taht relevant info to purchase a ticket. I tried the credit card hotlines which dont really work on Skype andhave tried seetickets.com which doesnt even recognise Irish festivals??? Someone help me please.

You using Internet Explorer? Try changing security settings or use Firefox.

Do the early bird tickets get posted when you order them or is there a set date when they get distributed? I ordered mine a few weeks back and there is no sign. Slightly worried as An Post have let me down recently with a few packages (bills seem to get to me fine though )

Pre 10.5 versions of Opera have the bug you are describing. Upgrade or right click and select open with another installed browser.

edit: Saw you said on the EP forums that you tried IE and Firefox... eh I got nothing so.

Yeah 2manyDJs and Chemical Bros would be great. As said earlier there needs to be something there to attract the older crowd and dont go too main stream to try and keep the scroats away.

Personally myself Id like to see Imelda May again. Imelda May and 2manyDJs where my 2 favorite acts from last year.

Berks

Just got a sudden flush of excitement about EP launching in 5 days I think?
Some artists I would love to see at the festival:

Broken Bells
Phoenix
Laura Marling
Flaming Lips & Passion pit - yes again, highlights last year
Frightened Rabbit
Yeasayer
Fionn Regan
Super Extra Bonus Party

Thats off top of my head but don't see why any of the above couldn't be included

How Soon Is Now

Just heard an ad on 2fm for electric Picnic tickets going on sale in March.
Could be clues in what music they played massive attack mumford and sons and imelda may. There might have been others i just didnt fully pick it up.

Please god no!! Loved them when they replaced the White Stripes at Oxegen years ago. It's just been a worse version of the same show each time and Wayne Coyne and his verbal diarrhea...

So yes, I will not be going to see them should they play.

They get posted at a later date. It could be months away.

I think the EP earlybird works the same as RockNess 's tickets, they get posted from two weeks to up to five days before the event. I got that sorted in the end securing my EP earlybird I ended up going to my flatmate who 's ticketmaster page loaded just fine, it must be a software or java problem with my configuration, that is causing the page to go blank. The idiots at ticketmaster, I emailed them my problem and they replied that earlybird tickets had sold out, hence, why I was getting blank page. That was when I went to the flatmate and got the ticket. Ticketmaster is not very helpful when it is software issues directly affecting your PC.

After seeing Leftfield mentioned here, I pulled out their CDs and put them on my iPod. Hadn't listened to Leftism in about 10 years. I was after forgeting how good that album is. Would love to see them at EP. They've announced more dates now after Rockness, so I'd say there is a good chance. Fingers crossed.

There's a few others mentioned in the thread I'd like to see as well.
The Chemical Brothers have announced a couple of festival dates, would be great to see them live.

Bat For Lashes (after her no show last year), Massive Attack & Editors would be good too.

Others that weren't mentioned yet that I'd like:
Delphic,
Yeasayer,
Hot Chip &
Friendly Fires

Leftfield announced that they are only doing four festival appearances this year, RockNess, Bennicassim and Boardmasters have so far being announced. So there is one more date to be announced, apparently Arcadia offered them a DJ spot on their stage at Glasto, but the group asked for a large sum of money and Arcadia refused, so it looks like Glasto is ruled out.
All we can do is hope they are not announced for main stage at Glasto or Bestival for that matter, maybe EP will secure them for the 24th March announcement.
