If I read that correctly, you've just bought tickets in a different country for €75?? Whats the line up for that? And where is it?

Deeper Blue

Lads, am I right in saying that all tickets are full price after Friday?

Mince Pie

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


tickets will then be €194.50

Why would we laugh? You haven't provided any lineup and come across as another one of them smug emigraters.

I did laugh though. At you.

It's weird when you go abroad and get some perspective. I do genuinely chuckle at people posting ten months in advance about some pissy festival being the highlight of their little lives. It's the a mindset that only sees the few streets and fields around them and accepts it. Accepts the e240 tickets for a so so music festival.

Wild Beasts, Real Estate, Granddaddy, Local Natives, Interpol if they played only there 1st 2 albums :P

Someone like F*ck Buttons or Flying Lotus would be cool too.

Volcano Choir as well maybe?

No idea how available any of them are, except Wild Beasts seem to have a slot available for the Friday or Saturday!

Would Phoenix be too big to be announced now?

F&ck Buttons and Flying Lotus are both on the Saturday of Forbidden Fruit. Should be a good one. Flying Lotus' 3D stuff looks pretty incredible. Hopefully it will be dark enough on the night to come across well

Oh well thanks so much for enlightening us with your nuggets of divine wisdom. Oh how well travelled you must be.
Reckon you should just keep on travelling and sort out your sweeping generalisations, you obviously still have a lot to learn.
This is a thread about a particular festival and not about one upmanship.

p.s, I have seen plenty of the world and I can still get excited about spending quality time with my friends listening to good music whatever the cost. Thats fecking priceless!
You have yet to regale us about this amazing festival you have gotten tickets for, for the bargain price of €75.00. Care to share??????

C'mon EP gods.

That sums up the biggest problem with Ireland. Whatever the cost. Who cares, it's only money. Sure you need to live somewhere, who cares about the cost. Spend it. Those looking for value will have to sit at home or leave the country.


Look what happened when people voted with their feet (the idiots just didn't have the money to spend). The price dropped by a huge amount. Still a rip off for a broke country. Yet I'm living in a far richer place and big festivals can be attended for 75 quid. That's expected around here.

I've lived abroad for 11 years and only returned last year so what the hell are you talking about. The standard price for a festival in the UK and Ireland is around that price. How do you expect a decent line up for less? Its still a bargain consdering the average cost of a gig ticket is in and around 40e.

Still waiting for you to enlighten us about this land of milk and honey you have found with festivals for €75??? What is the festival you are talking about seeing as we're just a bunch of fecking eejits with noo sense and throwing our money down the shítter?
Or are you just here to deliberately wind people up?

D.Q

He's living in Holland.

Obvious troll is obvious.

Don't like electric picnic, think its too expensive? The solution is twofold my friend. Firstly, don't go. Secondly, DEFINITELY don't waste your time discussing a festival you're not even going to.

Sun Araw & Laraji
Sun Kil Moon
Follakzoid
De La Soul
Tortoise
Plaid
Damon Albarn

Mince Pie

I'm a bit auld so not up on these new bands but I'd like to see (most unlikely)

Parquet Courts
The Walkmen (deffo no chance)
Dan Le Sac and Scoobius Pip
Hamsandwich
O Emperor
Foo Fighters
De La Soul
Damon Albarn
Hozier
QOTSA
Jack White/ The Dead Weather

I know most of them are a deffo no way but its working its way to an ideal line up.

Thomas D

Some of you have awful taste in music. QOTSA are not an electric picnic band. Foo fighters FFS.It was never a bog standard rock festival although it's heading that way.

Sure wouldn't it be shíte if we all has the same tastes? QOTSA aren't an EP band but Arctic Monkeys (who based a whole album trying to sound like QOTSA) are? What's the difference between Franz Ferdinand and Foo Fighters?, they're both in the 'Rock' genre after all..:rolleyes:

That would be brilliant! Can't wait for the next announcement. Is there likely to be one over the weekend once the loyalty discount ends?

And just curious but when do we start hearing which comedy acts will be there?

iamanengine

Don't feed the trolls :P They just come back for more!!

bodhrandude

Would like:
Gesaffelstein
Jon Hopkins
Aphex Twin
Mr Scruff
Thurston Moore
Kavinsky
The Bloody Beetroots
The Prodigy
Horace Andy
Major Lazer
Moderat
Blondie

Duff

I'd lose my shít if Blondie was announced.

freddiemoore

They'd fit in nicely at the Robert Plant "legend" slot on the Sat.

No such slot actually exists, it's more of a Glastonbury thing :P

Ha I know, I remember people giving off about it a few pages back, but they genuinely would!

A Brad Maddox Guy

A probably not at all realistic wishlist mostly taken from other suggestions so far would be:
Aphex Twin
Kavinsky
Bloody Beetroots
Dan le Sac & Scroobius Pip
And So I Watch You From Afar
Damon Albarn
QotSA (I'd imagine there's little to no chance of this)
Cage The Elephant
Gaslight Anthem
Gogol Bordello
Janelle Monae
Placebo
Japanese Popstars
Blondie
The Black Keys

If two or three of these were announced I'd be quite surprised but very happy.

Duff

Gaslight Anthem are wrapping up a new album at the minute so there is a chance they might be touring in the summer. I'd be the happiest fecker at EP if they're announced. Hands down my favourite band ever.

Ferris_Bueller

I've no idea who is realistic or not, so I'm just looking at the Bestival line up and seeing who I would like from that, of them I would love to see any of;

Basement Jaxx
Skream
Eats Everything
The 2 Bears
Boys Noize
Horse Meat Disco
Route 94
SBTRKT

and I have to say I would love to see Blondie, wherever all of you are getting her from!

Still wondering whatever happened with Chromeo on one of the posters that was released? Very much looking forward to the next batch of acts announced, really hoping for some good electronic acts.
