Electric Picnic 2013 *Discussion only. NO ticket sales/requests*

Got my camping ticket last week, its going to be my first EP and I can't wait!!

Looking forward to Robert Plant, Johnny Marr and the wonderful Arctic Monkeys.

There's about 20 of us coming up from Tralee. A good few have been there before so they'll be babysitting me for the weekend!

CocoRosie, Fcuk Buttons, Julia Holter, Midlake, Low, Swans, Chelsea Wolfe + Russian Circles all playing their own gigs within the next few months here. All top quality acts! a little less generic indie and a bit more of these kind of acts and EP would have the perfect balance IMO.

Has anyone who got the 150 euro tickets, had their tickets delivered yet?

JUst got a response on their FB stage about day splits, won't be released for 2 weeks according to them, I also asked about the rest of the lineup being announced but they ignored that question

Is it possible they have something big in the pipeline but they're being super secretive so as to blow everyone's mind?

Do you want the real answer or do you want hope to be kept alive?

I think it's strange that the day by day breakdown is being held back till a week before the event, it's usually released much earlier than that, it could mean the lineup isn't finalised and there's still plenty of acts to be added to the main bill

Body & Soul has a good lineup this year, and the nice addition of the Radio Shack!


C'mon and announce Flaming Lips already.

The day by day break downs and stage times won't be released until the week of the EP, it's always been this way?? But The majority of acts announce the exact booking date on their own web sites.

The more ppl get the more they want, if EP released the day by day breakdowns, ppl would then want exact times & arenas! we would be back to the same argument "why aren't they releasing the stage times"

The earlier this info is released the less flexibility organisers have. Can you imagine the confusion & disappointment one line up amendment could cause!! Over 150? Acts (say x3 ppl ave. per group) 450 ppl fit to get to one point with all their instruments + gear planes, trains etc.!! Bound to be hiccups and unforeseen problems. Nothing gained from EP's POV in releasing info early.

I don't expect to see this info published until Wednesday/Thursday of the EP week!! Even then this line up isn't 100% I've printed out many a line up on the thurs. taken it with me only to find its been changed.

The day splits are usually released early August, they were released on the 10th of August last year

I've got a question. My parents have said they'll buy me a ticket to this for my birthday. If they buy it online will I have to show the card I bought it with to collect my ticket at the gate? If thats the case I can use my own credit card. I went a few years ago but I can't remember how it worked.

no, you don't have to show the card you used to purchase the ticket. One year my missus bought the ticket (for me...I paid her back:D ) on her ticketmaster account with her credit card. The EP ticket had her name on it etc and there was no problem.

Sure if there were problems at that level the idea of selling on tickets (toutless etc) would never work.

Do they have phone charging facilities at EP? I know Indie had them albeit at a €5er a pop.
