Any one have the times/days of each artist, can't seem to spot it. I'm mostly interested in London Grammar.

Not yet, hopefully tomorrow.

Easy Rod

I'm getting a lift down on Friday but will need to get a bus back on the sunday night.

Can you just pay on the bus or do you need to prebook?

The only option on Marathon travel seems to be to buy a return ticket, is Bus Eireann different?

Julian Cope talking and radiators from space performing in literary tent.
Also Jim Sheridan - who should be forced to tell the story of how Marlon Brando inspired Mike Myers.

The field are all pretty ok. Just don't camp at the bottom of a hill.

Is there a family car park? Or do we head to the normal car parks?

There is a family car park. The main carpark is at the Port Laois side of Stradbally. The family car park is at the other side of Stradbally. It is in the GAA pitch - you come out on the road and the entrance for the family campsite is across the road. Car to campsite in less than ten minutes. It is damn civilised.

I don't know the exact closing time, but we got to the Campervan campsite around 10pm a few years back and there was no issue. Heading up a little earlier this year on Thursday evening, hope to be there by 8ish. It makes a huge difference going up on Thursday, and there are little, if any traffic issues.

Staying in pink moon and just looking at the map car park Z would be ideal, is it normally possible to park where you want if there early enough ?

Oh wow yayyyyy !!!!!! Do you get better parking too being there on Thursday ?

Im hoping to have everything ready on Wednesday night and then we collect the campervan on Thursday afternoon.

I cant wait, no work being done this week lol lol

The Global Green stage times have been announced

http://www.electricpicnic.ie/globalgreen

So that's Body & Soul, Global Green, Oxjam and Jerry Fish Electric Sideshow times and breakdown announced.

Looks like the Irish Times have an exclusive for breaking the stage times of the big stages in the arena and will drip feed the times/days over the course of the week. Boo to that.

Nice one, the whole Mindfield areas is really good, only a tiny portion of E.P.'ers go there, so there usually no issue getting into any of the various tents.

Some good debates on in Leviathan tent also

It's not that big an area, compared to the campsites, so it doesen't really matter when you arrive by Campervan, just getting in on Thursday night, is a lot less hastle, it's mayhem on Friday with people arriving, hand trucks of beer flying everywhere, people reading instructions on how to put up tents, ladies in 6 inch high heels trying to get through the mahem, it's great to watch.

I've found that regardless of what time you arrive there is generally a traffic management plan in place so you will be directed to a designated car park. I think the paintball entrance was reserved for artists/crew etc last year so its possible that car parks A, B & C will involve less walking. I stand to be corrected on that though.

Going back to this, I'd be very curious to know the sponsor whose very high ups are having to resort to a breakdown pieced together from boards.ie, like completely copied and pasted including the word 'tentatively', for their information. EP are really fecking up this whole lineup thing... Why is secrecy a priority...?! Surely knowing who's playing when builds up the hype as people get more into acts that they can see?

BadTurtle

Presumably they don't want to release times until they're 100% sure everyone will be there.

Dowdy

My theory is that the final artist/stage allocation has waited to see what the weather is expected to be like, so as to try and avoid major bookings being abandoned due to rain like Massive Attack in 2010.

Probably a completely wrong theory though.

I heard from some PR people that some bands they do PR work for and are playing EP haven't even been told yet what time or day they are on.

AlanDeGenerous

Well the Irish Times are announcing stage times every day this week, so I'm assuming there's some kind of agreement in place there? Would explain the secrecy anyway

Eod100

Little Green Cars and Eve Belle added to the OV stage. Both playing Friday.

I ound out more earlier this afternoon. They Were sent a pdf of the lanyard approve design and layout. Apparently the printer sent dummy content as the purpose was for the sponsor to approve logo placement, not approve the time table content. On closer inspection the map in the sample was from last year too. EP organisers obviously being very careful about leaks.

my other half had it forwarded to him cos he said he was going (and we paid for our tickets, we gave our sponsor freebies as a prize in a charity raffle. We go every year, just so no one thinks we aren't proper festival goers)

Apologies for any confusion

don't know about last year, but in previous years if you come through Stradbally from the South/East you'll be directed into Car Park Z.

if you come from the motorway and follow the signs for EP car parks (rather than head for Stradbally), you'll end up in Car Parks A, B, C.
