From the EP Facebook page Azealia Banks has officially pulled out. Will it mean that every other set gets pushed up a slot??

i doubt it, i'd say they'll just put someone else in her slot, a DJ or something, or just leave it empty...

Ok folks, very stupid mistake may have been made here: I purchased my ticket through my dad as he has a Visa card and I don't. Problem is, having just downloaded the ticket, his name is on it.
We share the same surname, obviously

How strict are EP about this? I seem to remember they brought in the named tickets thing to prevent people reselling, is this going to cause me problems when I try to get in?
OR should we email Ticketmaster and try and get them to change the name on the ticket?

Or just play 212 on repeat for an hour! Have a feeling her crowd would have thinned out after she played that!

Hello all :-)

Well my plan to stay at the pink moon fell through stupidly left it too late :-(

Anyway a few questions for ye if ye can help me pleaseeeeeee.

We stayed with tangerine last year so wondering which campsite to go for ?

The one where we ....

-won't get robbed
- will be able to sleep well at some stage :-P
-close to car park
-even though I want to be safe still wanna have craic

It's just me and my sister so we're not in a big safety in numbers group so just wanna scope a few things out before we get there so we enjoy it and not freaked out incase we get robbed :O


One more thing we have a van so can go out to that if it all goes horribly wrong :-(

Is it much of a walk from the arena ?

Do many sleep in the car park ?

Would there be many walking out there at 4am ?


I'm sorry for all the questions I probably have more so apologies in advance :-) :-) :-)

Sorry about the spelling too on my phone.

Edit :After googling Hendrix is winning right now with reviews was leaning towards Wilde but seen alot posts about robberies and scumbag

So what time should I arrive to gurantee getting a safe spot in Hendrix ?

Henrix is pretty secure. It's where the Guards tent is (iirc). I stayed there the last two years and it's grand, I never saw trouble.

It's not too far away from the venue, and last year the party always ended at the burger van (music still playing at 5am)

There's people still leaving the venue at 4am.

One hint though, bring a spare tent with you, if it's just you and your sister. Set it up and then you and your sister will have a circle with three tents and a bit of space to hang out if it rains.

Hi, I know this may be not be the right thread for this but I'm new to boards so please don't crucify me. Mods please move if I am in wrong place rather than delete.

A private bus has been organised from Cork city centre friday morning at half 8 to electric picnic by a friend of mine and all places were filled until a group of people all pulled out a few minutes ago. Return journey included

It is fixed price so the more people the cheaper.
We have 8 places left if anyone coming from cork would like cheap transport. If filled it will cost €30.

There is no profit for us, we simply wanted a cheap way to get to Electric Picnic. Please PM me if interested.

Thanks so much for the tips such a good idea about the spare tent :-) :-)

Roll on Friday

Has anyone seen cheap camping chairs in Cork?

How the heck is Azealia Banks exhausted? she barely does 25 minute sets at festivals. EP should give Soap&Skin a call to replace her, she'd show her how a live set is done.

Hi Folks,
I booked a 24 pack of bulmers to be picked up but i haven't got a confirmation email, is there a delay or more likely i've spelt the eamil wrong, has this happened to anyone and how will i survive without booze!!!:eek:

s0m3b0dy_

the bars sell bulmers you won't run out of drink unless we do.

s0m3b0dy_

Bar staff have been given orders not to serve people, who sing loudly, dance wildly or fall asleep at the bar.
if you appear intoxicated you'll recieve no drink at the bars.
if you look below 21 we must ask for i.d...which in my opinion is just wrong since what festival-goer carries id around.
theres plenty of other rules too that just apply this year, that include calling security if we suspect people have drugs(which most bar staff wont)
Also prepare to be searched such as the people at marley park where searched like (quite thorough)

Cus' age ID checks and wristbands with "Drinking Age Verified" on them have never been done at any festival, ever. Well, one or two. Well, lots actually. Speed things up. Fcuk yeah.


They should hire me, seriously.

Not to mention anyone between the age of 13 and 17 are already banned from the festival.

In fairness I made a 12 year almost cry one year as she was with her mum and we were checking tickets. Mum was on the local Sunday one day pass for residents and 12 yr old was with her. No wristband of course, I challenged her and her mum (who looked about 25) pipes up that "she's 12" - I look at her and in my eyes she looks about 20. I ask for ID (stupidly, what 12 yr old has ID) and she almost loses it. Ended up finding a zone manager to sort it out.

Lack of wristbands for teens is a bit silly, it means they are constantly getting challenged if they look 17-18 ish.

I was afraid of this nonsense. If this is for the arena entrance and not the campsite itself it is pointless from a security point of view and amounts to a hollow PR move for show which will cause more problems than it will solve.

The arena searches last year were a good balance between stopping people arriving in with half a bar and letting people actually get inside in a reasonable time to see the acts they paid for which is how things should be left. Anything more is punishing everyone and achieving nothing. There'll be more chance of injury and riot while people try to get in a the busy times and can't because of searching backlog than from any mythical weapons they are allegedly searching for.

Search for weapons going into the campsite for sure. This keeps people safe in the campsite and the campsite stages. Searching for weapons again at the arena entrance means they don't trust the rest of the site is safe and they're expecting us to sleep out there. Comforting thought.

Dramatise much?

Alcohol searches are pretty straightfoward. Baggy cargo shorts, check pockets, look in wellies, check hoods of hoodies. If it is any more hidden than that, on you go.

Staff have to drink ffs, your contributions don't go to waste.

The latest from Met Eireann - not quite as good as before, but still sounding the best Picnic weather in years. Bring it on!

---

Tomorrow

Friday morning will be cloudy and misty, with outbreaks of rain and drizzle, persistent in northern areas, with some hill and coastal fog. But brighter, drier weather, will follow from the west, during the afternoon. Some sunny spells will develop at times, best over the midlands, south and east. Top temperatures 16 to 19 C.

Outlook

OUTLOOK: Close, humid and at times warm weather, is expected for the rest of the weekend and into early next week. There will be periods of dry and at times sunny weather, but occasional wet spells too, as fronts break through from the Atlantic from time to time. But rainfall will be below normal, with the driest of the conditions expected in the eastern half of the country.
Friday Night: A mild, misty night with temperatures staying in the range 10 to 14 C. Most places dry, but some patches of drizzle and fog are possible here and there.
Saturday: Mild, close and breezy with top temperatures 16 to 20 C., highest over east Munster and Leinster. Some bright spells over the eastern half of the country for a time, with some hazy sunshine. But rain developing along northwestern and western coasts later in the morning, will become persistent and heavy there. It will extend across the country later in the day and overnight, but should weaken as it does so. Winds will be fresh southwesterly.
Sunday: Early mist, fog, low cloud and drizzle to start the day, but much of these should clear through the morning. Drier, brighter weather is then expected to develop fairly widely for the afternoon and evening, with some sunny spells at times. But drizzle and fog could still shroud some hills and some Atlantic coasts. Another close, humid day and warm in any sunshine. Top temperatures of 18 to 22 C., in light southwest breezes. Close and humid overnight with temperatures not falling below 14 or 15 C. Some dry spells , but further patches of mist, fog and drizzle also.

This kind of thing coming on around midnight on Saturday in the Little Big Tent will be epic

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet but Azelia Banks has cancelled.
