Cheers, i was thinking that would of been asking a bit much.

Another question, can you bring beer/food etc into the campsite each day, as I dont fancy taking it all in one trip from the car, i'm thinking take what i need each day, don't mind the walk either.

Yep, indeed you can, you can go in and out as much as you like.

Although, I will add, the hassle of bringing it all in when you arrive is, in my opinion, far less than the hassle of going out for stuff when you're hungover/tired/having fun etc. The only downside to bringing all in one go is that you are much more likely to leave stuff behind that doesn't get used as you couldn't be arsed dragging it back out.

Buy a handcart of some sort, they are the J O B!

If you haven't realised, Electric Picnic always had a strong emphasis on Electronic music...the hint is in the name.

Where did you get that idea?

It's simply an arts and music festival. David Kitt & Grand Master Flash played the first year. They're not electronic.

You do need a lot of electricity to run a festival though :rolleyes:

Not being sarcastic but I don't think you can label a festival electronic when only the headliner is electronic. I've always seen it as a general music festival, like Glasto.

Just realised Chromeo are playing in the US on Saturday...too much to expect for them to play Friday here? :pac:

It's not an electronic festival but it has deep roots in it

Jesus Juice

Any chance of Tame Impala being added do yis think? If them and DFA79 were added I would be the happiest man at EP.

James are great, though I'd be surprised if they were announced at this late stage. Would love to see them live. Despite my vintage (late 80'/early 90's were the beginnings of my musical exploration), never saw these guys!

AdMMM

James just played 3 gigs in Ireland I think, so I doubt they'd be added.

if you come from the Monasterevin side, via Cush & Vicarstown you will be able to park right at the corner of the site and on the side of Pink Moon, car park Z I think it is. We've done that for the past few years, I come up from Cork and even drive up as far as the Monasterevin exit on the Motorway and drive back down the way I said just to get to that car park. It's so much handier, a max 10 minute walk from your tent in Pink Moon to that car park.

BTW: Pink Moon is great if you want some sleep and enjoy the respect of others and are willing to show respect to your neighbours too:D

Separate entrance into Pink Moon with 24 Hour security at the gate. About 16 showers, queues tend to move along fairly well, can't fault it really.

EDIT: Sorry, when I say separate entrance I mean it's a closed off area once you are inside the main estate area. Of course you enter through the main gates like everyone else.

Cheers, looked at the 2013 map and i see what you mean about car park Z. When i looked at it before i thought it meant it was only for public/taxi drop off
By what you said i think Pink moon will be prefect for myself and the GF

Picnic was always heavily focussed bringing electronic acts and DJs, but the right kind of ones so as it didnt turn into another creamfields global gathering scobefest. It was a big part of the attraction in the earlier years that you could enjoy decent electronic acts without being surrounded by tracksuits.

Look at the lineup over the years,there is probably a 40 -60 split between what you could call dance,electronic acts,djs and everything else.

Some of Cage The Elephant, MØ, Boyz Noise, Royal Blood, Gesaffelstein, HudMo, Jimmy Eat World, Major Lazer and SBTRKT would be great please, EP Gods.

It used to be for people that were into electronic music and the sort of bands that those people would like. That has been eroded over the years which is why its a ****e festival now. If you have ever said "I hate dance music" then please stop going to festivals.

Gesaffelstein is playing Electric Zoo on the same weekend, in fact this US edm festival has been nicking potential EP acts for the last few years now, so here's hoping that EP will manage to also skim some good potential EZ acts this year.

You should have got it anyway, great album, favourite of year so far for me
