Wouldn't mind checking out The Lost Brothers, Richie Egan, John Blek and I'm your vinyl if there's no clashes.

Nice Camille O'Sullivan too, have always wanted to see her.

Just in case anyone missed it, Jonny Marr isn't playing EP! Well you could have knocked me out with a feather.

No sweat.

Ye'd imagine it'll be something like (solely based on the lineup last year):

Main Stage
Beck
Foals
Blondie
Omar Souleyman
Twin Shadow/Token Irish Act

EA
PSB
???

Just hope that Young Fathers and Tune-Yards play the post 12 slots in B&S. That'll be a perfect Friday.

I know I went over this before, but Beck now? Where are you getting the info he is on the friday? His website has him at electric picnic on the friday, saturday and sunday.

Foals too just have the start date of the festival down. PSB seem the only ones almost definitely on the Friday out of those 3 bands, but even they could play the Saturday according to their live schedule.

Managed to secure 2 vip tickets from a friend who cannot go anymore. Was a tough week hunting for tickets with so many deplorable touts around. Has anyone went vip at ep before? Are there any decent perks? Cant find much info. I am just glad to be going now.

Just a seperate bar that has no atmosphere to the right hand side of the main stage

you can camp in the boutique campsite which is much nicer than the general camping and you have access to the vip bar which is very handy. You also get access to the vip car park which reduces walking/lugging gear time dramatically.

Thanks for the info. We are going in a campervan as usual so wont get the benefits of boutique camping. And the bar sounds a bit grim so will give that a miss. I am assuming we will get different wristbands though so hoping we can get these from the wristband area in the campervan site.

The bar is grand, much easier to get a drink at when you are at the main stage and nice to chill out in, not sure about the wristbands, id say email and ask

Thanks. Does anyone know the email address for ep?

has anyone seen blondie in the last 12 months? have heard bad reports... also, the way their tour is going, the prospect of slowdive is tantalising!

Slowdive were amazing at Primavera, probably the best thing I saw. Part of what made them so good was the amazing sound though. What's the sound been like at EP in recent years? Last time I was there was 2007 and it wasn't great in the tents. Hopefully it's improved.

Are Heineken doing the beer minding scheme that they ran last year?
Can't see any mention on the EP site

that was an absolute disaster last year-you had to wait while they got your specific cans-never doing it again-waiting time is about an hour to get your cans back each time

Reggie noble

That is a class tune , never heard of him/them before , any more good recommendations ?

Reggie noble

Sorry that was a reply to the person who put up the johnny pulse tune

Hey everyone this will be both my first post and first EP I'm just curious about something I'll be going on my own doing the tour de picnic as my friend has dropped out (lack of fitness hitting the beer too much) however, I've been keeping with the training and raised my money so I wont drop out now.

That being said I just wanna know from you guys (basically require reassurance) will everything be grand going on my own I'm dead excited to see most of the acts in particular Beck

I'm going with a bunch of people and tbh the only time they'll see me is at the tent at night when going asleep and when j wake.
I doubt I'll even see my gf much at it.

Festivals are better on your own I reckon. You'll have a great time

I always go with my wife and friends. I probably would only see her when I go back for a few cans and I'm off straight away again. Would meet her inside at around 11 or 12 to see a band together repeat the same everyday. You will always meet other people, be it at the tent or inside everyone gets on fairly well.

I would love to go on my own
