Electric Picnic 2015

The offer is through 3Deck, its fifty extra tickets through the three network. They are selling a batch of fifty tickets through their website on Friday 31st July at 9am, 3plus customers can register for tickets from July 29th by texting EP to 51020.

Is there a link to the announcement? If there really is a capacity increase coming it will be a couple of thousand tickets. I wonder if they got it and are just milking the sold out state they have at the moment with partner promotions like this?

Joe.ie are hardly a reliable source but I just came across this on Facebook, worth a punt for anybody really stuck. Hopefully they don't fall into the hands of touts.

50 tickets haha. You'd think it'd be a free competition rather than sell them.

they've done a great job in that video of making out that a crap seating area at Longitude was something worthwhile.

No clue what time and place, I haven't been since 2011, can't remember much of it. I presume they will be one of the later bands on one of the top 3 stages

cruhoortwunk · 23-07-2015 4:01pm

Looks like War On Drugs will be Fri or Sat, as they are in England the Sunday:

Django Djanog are on the Friday: http://www.djangodjango.co.uk/tour/

Has anyone done a day by day based on the bands websites yet? Can't believe this is only 6 weeks away. Can't wait

iamanengine · 23-07-2015 4:34pm

Stop boozing early on sunday , leaving so early is going to rise suspicion if theres guards on the road. Have the car packed and ready to go sunday afternoon.Remember the noise won't stop til 4am so if you want any kip at all maybe try sleep in the car.

iamanengine · 23-07-2015 5:19pm

Don't have a car that's the problem. Will need to get a bus or train to Galway somehow!

If you hitch to Kinnegad early enough you can get the Dublin - Galway commuter citylink bus from there, do you need to be at an induction for college or uni?

Have Blur announced themselves for Sat/have shows either side?

*edit*

Ah I see 5th Sept on their website. Ace.

Guys, just wondering - how do you know which campsite you are in? I have my weekend ticket which includes camping.

You choose yourself when you get there. Unless you're in one of the campsites that need registration/payment like Pink Moon or Be Your Environment

bodhrandude · 23-07-2015 6:35pm

Just heard that NWA are reforming for a tour along with Eminem, perhaps contenders for the EP 2016 line up.

Barlivia · 23-07-2015 6:38pm

Anyone any experience of the pink moon campsite is it worth the money? If you get there early can you pick the tents you want or are they allotted beforehand?

Eminem and Dr.Dre's reps have already said that it isn't true.
it was suggested that it might happen by some executive at the movie studio that is making the NWA film.

The tents are allocated to you. They give you a separate wristband with your tent number on it. As far as i'm concerned for the security and getting a good nights kip, it is well worth it.

Yeah it's induction which usually wouldn't matter that much but I'm starting a post grad so I can't really miss it.

Apparently there are shuttle buses to the train station so might be able to figure something out that way.

Well if your doing trains Portlaoise to Athlone and you can get the Galway connection in Athlone. Pricey though unless you get a web fare deal or something like that.

Jesus Friday will be some night.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this method of predicting the running order may not be 100% reliable.
