Hozier got the biggest crowd of the weekend apparently.

Not that surprised really. He is pretty good, and not half as annoying as some of those other Irish guitar-wielding twats

Friend of my husband's had a pedometer of her phone. Between Friday and Monday morning - the app registered 50km.

I was wondering why the kids were eating their body weight in food everyday:D

Heisenberg.

Does anyone know the song Foals played second or third last in their set? It had a heavy riff towards to end they started speeding it up incredibly fast over about 30 seconds, didn't recognise it and would love to know what it was! I checked setlist.fm but it's completely wrong as they didn't play Balloons or Milk and Black Spiders

Inhaler maybe? That has a heavy enough riff in it

Has anyone encountered problems with the RTE Iplayer, I was watching part 1 of the Electric Picnic programme and after the ads, all I could get was sound and a black blank screen, when I was watching the first part on full screen there was a small white box at the bottom right which said 'script void'. Is there anything I could do to prevent this happening or is it just the case of updating adobe or something like that, the Foals footage in the first part was very good.

First timer. Had a really really great weekend. Friday and Saturday were great and Sunday day was also great. The tiredness of 2 days and 2 nights hit me on Sunday at around 8 so I missed some of the acts I was dying to see. Next year I'll be better prepared, either midway hotel or glamping for me next year.

Jesus sorry my bad dimitri from paris. Don't know what made me say vegas. Can't stand his stuff. Some really nice tracks from dimitri from paris. He played a real nice mix of FCL-It's you if i remember correctly! He really had the crowd going, never really heard him play before tbh but was impressed!

He is excellent and always has been, does very good edits of disco classics and his own stuff. He's back in demand now due to the resurgence in disco and 80s tunes.

Can you see your tent?

You'll be lucky to see this on Saturday apparently theres only three days left to view it, I finally got it to work with Firefox, as Chrome apparently has two conflicting flash players.

mrscloudatlas

Omg look at how big Pink Moon was this year!! I know this was taken on Friday. I know that because the 4man tent that burned down is still there. I know that because we were 2 rows behind it. Spooky.

YA, I had same problem.
Only way i found around it, was to wait a fem minutes after the advert, copy and paste address into new tab, and off you go.

Only thing was it happened again at every add break, I watched over 4 hours(part 1 and 2), and I think there was an add every 10mins.

It isn't available outside Ireland either. Makes me even more homesick after to be back in Belgium after an ALMIGHTY weekend :-(

Is this a joke? I thought RTE Player stuff was available for 30 days worldwide?

Nope, it says "Not available in your region". I can watch some of the Other Voices stuff, but not the main programme from the Saturday night.

Edit: I am abroad though, so fair enough I suppose. Would have been nice to relive the weekend though, so to speak. Hope you get it to work for the reunion!

If you download Media hint it lets you watch non terrestial stations.

Download "HOLA" extension for Chrome, can watch all RTE player content then

They were so much better this year than last year, more bogs, more showers, the cafe thingy was excellent, full irish for a tenner was just what was needed on Sat/Sun morning.

It was good wasn't it? We were beside 2 nordie lads who managed to pull different birds each night! We sang daft punk's "Get Lucky" in the general direction of their tent each morning.

Thanks your advice worked a treat, can't seem to find a link to part two though, could you link me to that if possible. There was one or two good bits, Foals, Nutini who I missed and the Hozier stuff is not too bad, the male presenter seems a twat though, couldn't they have got someone like Leagues O'Toole, Dave Fanning, the presenters for Under Ether or even John Kelly. We need one of these people to get behind a proper alternative broadcast of EP and poach it to the likes of TG4 or TV3 or BBC NI, UTV, because the old fogies that run RTE just don't know how to do this. What happened to the people behind the Homelands documentary about Ireland's first dance festival in 1999 that was proper interviews with the best in electronica at the time and uncluttered clips of great music.

D.Q

Anyone know what the field at the top of Joplin was about? Only a few tents in it and toilets etc. Why would anyone camp in the over crowded hendrix/wilde when there was so much space up there?

I know one of the earlier picnics was covered by TV3. The rte show was a pieced together as a last minute thing, doubt they had any time to get clearance for bands to show some of their sets, hence all the rambling.
They styled it on the bbc 2 glastonbury show too much, but they get away with all the interviews, acoustic sets and ****e talk because they have wall to wall coverage on the red button, iplayer and bbc3. BBCs coverage of t in the park and reading is very different.

OK - An electric picnic 2015 thread needs to be opened:eek: I heard the name of a band that Festival Republic are trying to sign for next year an hour or so ago.

Ah jeez, I am still stupid since the weekend. It is too fcuking early to be looking forward to next year.

To be completely honest, a black blank screen with a small white box that says 'script void' is much more entertaining than the actual programme they broadcast. Throw a few yokes into ya and watch that white box for a while.
