I could see Primal Scream at it.

kasabian and the chemical brothers are headlining rockness 2011 so its a big possibility they could be doing ep 2011 as they usually have the same headliner's afaik

was thinking the same myself but i reckon they'd be a great closing act for the sunday

I would of thought Chemical Brothers would be more likely than Kasabian alright. But you never know. Kasabian are meant to be good live, so wouldn't mind if they did play.
Last year only one headliner played both Rockness & EP. The 3rd headliner for Rockness is Paolo Nutini. Out of the 3, if I had to pick one, it would be Chemical Brothers.

Yep, was excellent!! They've confirmed the Screamadelica show for Bestival and Benicassim already so they're on the festival circuit this summer, and that suits EP to the ground so it would make a lot of sense to get them on there.

Be totally wasted on Oxegen (like most decent bands) so fingers crossed they don't fall into that hole.

I know they've played a few times before but I've never seen them. I'm sure you're not the only one that doesn't want them back. But I'd say loads do as well.

I'd kind of prefer a solo show myself!

Only rumours at this stage. It's being strongly rumoured that FNM are going to play Oxegen - I haven't heard about them playing the Picnic yet.

Actually they've updated that link - FNM rumour was a hoax or something.

Family installment tickets are up now.

I saw them in 2007. They were the act I was looking forward to the most and they were the final act on the mainstage. I was really disappointed. They seemed a bit bland. Chemical brothers, LCD soundsystem and Bjork were the highlights of that particular year.

Think I'll be picking myself up some tickets for next year despite breaking my leg at it this year

df1985

didnt think kasabian would be rumoured to be at EP, would be delighted though, great live band, seen them a few times.

Chemical bros are due a show on irish shores again.

So Faith No More are no more?:D

Pulp have reformed and are already confirmed for Wireless and Primevera next summer. I have a feeling they might play Electric Picnic as well. Would be fantastic to see them live!!

The payment installment plan on the early bird tickets is something I may use... handy enough and if I choose not to go I can always sell on my ticket. I found the lineup this year was poor so here's hoping next year will be better.

Such a shame that The Cure have ruled themselves out for any additional shows other than Bestival.

homerun_homer

Every year the line up gets sort of prgoressively more boring with a handful of bands I feel I have to see and each year I say "It'll get better next year" and it doesn't. Still love going though.

Just booked my early bird ticket with the 3 payment deal.

Yeah, festivals tend to get in to the habit of booking the same bands every couple of years and Electric Picnic is getting worse in that regard... seemed like half the bands this year had already played the festival two or three years prior.

stupid question, but with the repayment plan, can you decide on the last repayment not to pay and then get a refund of the 2 previous payments?

I'm guessing no since you will be dealing with Ticketmaster and they don't tend to give refunds because of change of mind. So I reckon once you put your deposit down you enter an agreement with Ticketmaster to pay the rest of the monies. I don't know for sure, but that's my inkling.

Mr.S wrote: »

at the moment i'm all for going but if the lineup is woeful/something else comes up I dont want to stuck with a ticket that will be hard to sell for what i payed for as it probably wont sell out!

Price for early bird ticket is €200 and like previous years it will go up to probably €240 next spring. I'm sure you'll be able to sell it off for what you paid if you decide the lineup is not for you.

According to Jim Carroll's blog on the Irish Times, pulp will be playing Oxegen. Boo hiss etc

What a waste! All the youngsters ( I'm 32, I'm allowed to call them youngsters:rolleyes:) won't have a clue who Pulp are. It'll be like when Blur played Poxegen last year, and the crowd spent the whole time waiting for Blur to play 'wooo hooo'.

Yep, i heard that too last week and it will ensure that the day ticket allotment for that day will sell out. I may even consider going if i wasn't going to see them at Prima.

Just found out that I'm going! WOO-HOO!:D

My sources tell me Kele is going to be one of the main acts this year. :pac:

Can't imagine all the 15-16 years old wanting to see Pulp. They would be more suited to picnic. I would love to see them again but not at oxegen, too many skangers.

Thinking the same. Though that may also be to do with the way my music taste has been going in the last year or so :pac:

With Portishead playing festivals this summer... I suppose an EP appearance by them is possible. Same with The Chemical Brothers.

I've read a lot of crap and generalisations about the people that go to Oxegen, that takes the biscuit.

From a long-time festival goer.

They are right though. I'm one that steers clear from these threads due to so much fickle bickering but you have to admit that there would be, generally, more people at EP to see PS than at Oxegen. If they were to play Oxegen, they wouldn't get the stage, nor time that they deserve (especially on such a tour). I am by no means a fan really, but I can identify a festival for such a band to be EP, especially seeing as it is in the "Don't Look Back" vain, something POD has been associated with in the past.

It doesn't look like it. From ticketmaster site:

Electric Picnic Installment Payment Plan

Tickets available under instalment payment option:

Electric Picnic 2011 Deposit Event

In choosing to part pay for your Electric Picnic 2011 Ticket(s) you give Ticketmaster authorisation to charge your credit card an initial deposit of E67.00 per ticket ("Deposit") at time of booking. A subsequent E66.00 will be charged to the same card on Monday 31 January 2011 and the balance of E66.00 + Service Charge per ticket ("Balance") will be charged to your credit card on Thursday 31 March 2011.

You understand and agree the part payment(s) per ticket is non refundable and not transferable.

Failure to authorise this auto debit will result in you forfeiting your Electric Picnic Ticket(s) and Deposit.

Tickets are available on a first come first served basis and are limited to six per person, transaction, household and credit card.

Hi all,

Sorry to drag this thread back up but I have a quick question. Are the campervan tickets something you buy in addition to the regular tickets or is it an all-in-one thing? When do the campervan tickets normally go on sale?

We have a camper this year and I was about to buy an early bird ticket but that only gives general admission so I'm not sure!

Thanks!
