Its as good as you make it.....its such a great festival for random craic and banter.

It's my favourite time of the year. I eschewed a sun holiday so I could go to the picnic this year. But ever since I first went in '07, every year I get people going, "Ah it's great but nowhere near as good as blah blah blah".

I think every year is deadly

Hi lads, do EP have the day breakdown/times etc on those handy little necklaces like Oxegen did. First time going but there are 20+ bands i want to see so they would be handy! Thanks.

Besides the actual "quiet" camp-site.

I can see three on the map. Jimi Hendrix, Andy Warhol and Oscar Wilde...

any difference in the three other than proximity to the car park / concert arena?

I have been every year bar one and my fav is the Jimi Hendrix. Good location and plenty of craic.

To be fair some years musically have been better than others....bt I still have the craic....it honestly isn't so much about the line up ..more so about the people and the vibe! sad I know but I love that element, it never fails me!

Don't think anyone asked/answered that question so far though..

Yeah people have asked about the timetable but not about the necklace yokes!

gracielooks

@toast We got moved out of it for being noisy, at 6pm the first day! So yeah, I think you could call it a quiet site, haha

I did. I know they have not released the stage breakdowns yet. Thats not what I am asking. No body has asked about the necklaces yet which are usually sold at the gate.

partay pooper

they always do yes, but wait until they release timetable, then print it off and put in plastic sleeve. cheaper and helps you not get the neck yanked off you by folks trying to find when bands are playing.

I think I'm definitely going to go ahead with the spirit and juice in a freezer bag way to get drink in.

Here's a question, years ago, people used to smuggle booze in oranges into football matches (They'd inject oranges with vodka - pretty genius imo) You'd probably be able to do bring an orange through before 10 wouldn't you?

they sell those at every major festival. EP give out a book on all the bands too usually.

Quick note to EP virgins:

It will never be as good as '04, '05, '06, '07, '08, '09, '10, '11

(Just in case no-one gets around to mentioning that to you :pac:)

Ha ha ha, gas, 05 was the best though! Although I'm open to 12 being better

Or if you have time before pick up some of the large capri sun's with the twist off cap and fill those at home with a premix or else just straight spirits and get your mixer inside. Easier to hide than a bottle

Good idea! I'm thinking gin in my lemons

Im planning on emptying a few 70cl bottle of spirits into a 1litre bottle and bringing it into the camp site.

Is this not allowed or something?

But more importantly that would just be a waste of Gin and Vodka
