Im definately getting old or else I am not as music savvy as I thought because the only act I recognise in that list is Andy Weatherall

Curve Music

Toby Karr is excellent. Had we not had a line up reselmbling a burst couch we'd have added him (assuming he'd want to play indiependence)

There are no day tickets for the Friday and Saturday. Day tickets for the Sunday only.

Usually, day tickets does not include camping, so day tickets would not be only given to campers.

Jimmy Cliff and the rapture are both on the Friday, not Sat.

cuts down on scumbags coming and going and also means that there is more of a friendly vibe when you notice the same faces over the weekend.

The day by day thing was posted earlier and is in hotpress/facebook etc

I think I read someone from POD saying that they wanted to keep the 'vibe/spirit' of the community festival by only having day tickets on the Sunday, and not having people coming and going each day of the weekend. I totally agree with this.

Logistically, it is way easier to have day tickets for the Sunday only, as they don't have to worry about wristbands for the Friday, Saturday & Sunday only tickets.
They also don't have to worry about about people buying a ticket fro the Friday and hanging around all weekend trying to sneak in to the arena.
There is also less disturbance for the people of Stradbally as there are less people coming and going through the village.
The Garda probably prefer this, thus making the planning application a bit easier.

Also, a lot of people leave on the Sunday afternoon/night as they may have to be in work on the Monday. Sunday tickets holder will probably cancel out these people so the 'population' will probably stay the same and easier to control/maintain.

See post 553 for day by day breakdown. (or post 585!)

i know i'll get slated for this, but i've a feeling there could be even more scumbags and robberies this year. it's obvious EP are struggling and cutting back on security around the campsite and concentrating on the festival arena. loads of stradbally knackers walked into the campsite last year and robbed their stuff for the weekend

I would highly doubt it. AFAIK it didn't sell out last year, and this year's line up isn't exactly spectacular. Couple that with the whole recession thang I'd say t'would be a miracle if they sold out.

honru

Looking forward to this now. Haven't been anticipating Electric Picnic like this in years.

I just hope Killing Joke haven't pulled out.

Was just looking at this online......
VIGILANTE
A vigilante is a private individual who legally or illegally punishes an alleged lawbreaker, or participates in a group which metes out extralegal punishment to an alleged lawbreaker.:cool:

Regarding both security and camping sell out, I'd suggest it's hard to predict how the organisers might have retooled after this year's Oxegen.

I've seen loads of them over the years, you should have no problem setting up a small one.

Hurry up and confirm Laura Marling already! Tick tock! I will be forever grateful.

Last week they said more acts would be announced this week.

On the FB page, on one of the comments, they say running orders would be announced 15th/16th Aug.

I'm not sure if this is the right place but i guess people might know the answer here,

I'm just wondering which beer/liquor company has the bar rights for electric picnic??

At oxegen it is bacardi and heineken i think and red bull are involved too
does electric picnic have any specific companys that are involved with the festival and you can only purchase that companys alchol from the bars inside the festival area??

if this is the wrong place to have posted this im sorry! and please move it to the appropriate place!

heebusjeebus

There is an EP thread but to quickly answer your question, last year it was Heineken. I wouldnt think anything has changed this year.

Well,

I am looking for a campervan for electric picnic. My mate has a campervan ticket but can't go, and the camper van he was using is not available to me.

I have done a bit of browsing online and some of the prices quoted have been insane to say the least. €300 per day.

Does anyone have a campervan they would be willing to rent to me for the weekend or know a company that does them at a decent rate.

I was hoping for something along the lines of €50/€70 per day or is that unrealistic.

drunkmonkey

In the same boat...don't need anything fancy, just something to Kip in for about 4 people. Crazy prices being quoted, think the best was about 700 from Friday morning to Monday.

Might end up in the tent yet just praying for good weather..

You should ask in the motoring forum.
