thinking of getting a day ticket for the Sunday maybe but it would depend on what acts are on that day. Makes it hard to plan ahead when they leave it so late to announce!

Arctic Monkeys
Chvrches
The Knife
David Byrne and St Vincent
Eels
Johnny Marr
Mick Flannery
The Strypes
Mount Kimbie
Polica

All on the sunday from what I can see (although don't take it as gospel, I'm going by the fact they all have EP down in their tour dates on 01/09)

Looks like no Knife Party They are in America during the EP weekend :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Without the arts element it would be just another festival. People think they wouldn't miss it but they would. It's the glue that holds the whole thing together...

I quite enjoy all of the other stuff that's involved with the festival I even went 1 year at the last minute with the intention of seeing about 2-3 bands. It's much more than the music and that's why it's great.. Brings an extra dynamic to the (picnic) table

Pretty silly thing to say tbh

I haven't had any interest in the arts stuff, been to the comedy stage once or twice I think but that's about the height of it. I go solely for the music on offer, and that hasn't stopped me having a fantastic time each of the last 5 years.

Nope not pretty silly at all IMO
Silly is having electric picnic as music only and cutting back on other areas of the festival as suggested by another poster. All those other things give it that magic. It's just so so much more than the music

It wouldn't matter if they were playing in Portlaoise the Thursday night before. They're not a Picnic act.

I know there are Phone Chargers in operation at EP (since I had to use it last year, even though I have a brick phone with a battery that lasts a week - foolishly didn't charge before departing for Stradbally!), but does anyone know if they charge cameras too? Would like to get a load of pics and even a vid or two of the good acts, but I know vids drain the battery. Last year my cam died midday through Sat so I've no pics from then on!

If it's usb/usb2 I'd imagine they can charge anything... The voda tent might only do phones but the other phone charging places could easily charge a camera

Only guessing but I imagine they would as long as you have the lead

It's a Fujifilm camera and I think most of the cheaper models have similar charger port. Isn't usb but hopefully they have somethin for it. Could possibly bring charger just incase. Or maybe get a second batt.

Well Arctic Monkeys/Fat Boy Slim are not Picnic acts but are playing? Plus they are playing Bestival which sometimes shares a good bit of the line up

Fatfrog

Really Looking forward to seeing crystal fighters! Any idea what stage they'll play?

More or less 5 weeks till EP!! Starting to get giddy!!

I had a fujifilm camera there a few years ago and brought the charger itself with me (it was one of those no lead ones) i asked if they wouldn't mind plugging it in and they did.

Money is money and no doubt its just a row of chargers plugged into an extension lead.

Has anyone who bought their tickets on the installment plan received their tickets in the post yet?

What's a "Picnic act"?

david75

Kings of Leon-oxegen act
Sigur ros-picnic act

Picnic acts refers to bands that are a little left of mainstream

Wouldn't really be considered an Oxegen act anymore! Has Longitude replaced the old Oxegen acts? Was there on Sunday, incredible non-camping festival.

Ahh the Internet. Where being right, is more important than being real.
