A couple of years ago at the rave in the woods we found a spot kinda beside a tractor track. There was a small puddle beside us wich turned out to be about a foot deep. Was the funniest thing ever watching person after person stepping into it and cursing and freakin out. Also the girl out of it walking head first into a tree...Apoligised to it and walked off with blood trickling down her head....Funny place

One of the maddest picnic stories i've heard, was when some young fella went missing in the stradbally woods for a week, after he took a load of acid.

My favourite is this gem.

Friday evening a few farmers were in the field having their hang sangwiches after a hard day cutting the corn. He arrives out of no where, heads straight for the sandwiches and started eating them. Never asked or spoke a word. He did ask why the music had finished

Nearly choked on my curry reading that.

What a party animal. There's no way LSD would have you tripping for days, though.

I remember that 'patch', sort of got caught by it myself and I found it equally entertaining to see others walk straight into it.

Last year at ben klock at the rave in the woods I was tripping pretty badly it's comical thinking back. Had a conversation with the back of my mates head for about 15 minutes thinking he was talking back to me, chatted up another girls hair and thought I was doing well until one of the lads brought me back to reality telling me i was talking to hair.

Went to have a sit down on a bench in front of a tree only for somebody on stilts that may or may not have existed walked by me going towards the stage. Suddenly the bench started moving and I stood up and looked down and I happened to be sitting on a lovely old couple who had passed out and woke up angrily to me sitting on them.

Then I dedided to make my way back to the camp site to get more cans, and the lovely people of EP decided to paint a bench black and put it in the woods which I walked into knees first and broke myself up hahaha the rave in the woods is a magical place whether you're on drugs or not!

Wouldn't worry about it too much, when the event is passed and over, some of these artists might very well get added to the EP line up, its happened last year with the odd artist.

If the Horrors don't play I'll eat my hat.

garrkell

ill eat my own foot if these guys arent announced next week. they've just announced their euro festival tour.

Mince Pie

I kinda don't want either to be announced and to have a hat and foot eating spectacle.

Electric Zoo is on the same weekend in New York and while most of the bill is "EDM" ****e they seem to grab every electronic act they can find including a few decent ones. Its one of the reasons EP has struggled to get decent or better known electronic acts in recent years.

I'd still be hopeful Moderat make the picnic but they could be alludered elsewhere.

I remember trying to get back to the campsite from the rave with a mate last year and I swear to God we must have fallen on top of every tent along the way. The campsite becomes an obstacle course at night when you're thoroughly intoxicated.

I do apologise to anyone who may have had two yipped eejits fall on top of them while they were trying to sleep.

Longitude has stolen many of the acts I was hoping would be at EP, I may have to buy a ticket for that as well.

BadTurtle

The only acts at Longitude I'd like at EP are Massive Attack, CHVRCHES, Disclosure and Bonobo.

bodhrandude

There is still plenty of good bookable artists out there, 6 days to go woo hoo.

Eroticplants

I'm excited to see who they pull. I think the first announcement was really strong so this should be good.

Fcuk it anyway, I looked at the Electric Zoo line up and I see they have Gesaffelstein doing a DJ set so if he's in the US, he's ruled out of the Picnic, dammit.:(

Edit: On a more hopeful note, Moderat headlined the Hilltop Stage on Saturday night at Electric Zoo last year when I thought they were certain for EP. http://ezlineup.madeevent.com/events/2013/08/31/

BadTurtle

Bah. Jamie xx ruled out too, was hoping he might do EP as well as Life.

Would Skrillex be a likely addition? Seemingly playing a good few European shows in July and August...

Isn't it that festival with all the people with a superiority complex when it comes to their alternative taste in music?

I'm not a skrillex fan myself, but posts like that are just snipey bullshít, there's no need

Is the rave every night or just one night?
