Electric Picnic 2015

frozenfrozen

might do a nice little spot of yellow or green camping. it's actually very endearing with all the smiley faces
and to be fair that drawing is very good
and it's nice that the eco camping will have a good bit of craic in some areas.
I wonder how they'll sort who gets to go in there?
will they just be allowing people who have a tent in there or is anyone free to roam in?

Last year, if you were registered, you got a wristband on initial entry to the area. This was checked every time you entered for the rest of the weekend. You were allowed bring in guests but anyone rocking up without a wristband was told to sling their hook

Just wondering if my friend had set up the tent and all could they bring me in as a guest ?

When there is a lock on a tent, it makes it more attractive to would be thieves.

I never put a lock on mine, I bring only clothes and toiletries in travel size. Keep phone in the bra along with cash and don't bother with cameras. Sleep with your bag behind your head and you'll be grand

Keeps money in the bra!! "Dear diary...... JACKPOT"

Matt Cooper had Stuart Clark from hot press on his show earlier. He pretty much confirmed Blur for Saturday night + the Manics and Son Lux for Sunday. Maybe thats common knowledge at this stage but thought I'd share!
He had Melvin Benn on the phone afterwards also but other than "reintroducing sustainablity" no real details from him.

I didn't even know Son Lux were playing .. when was that announced ?

I just looked at the website and I cant see Son Lux on the main "poster" lineup thing. They are listed on the artist a-z section though.

Walter E GO

On this evenings Matt Cooper show, Stuart Clarke from Hot Press confirmed days for some of the bands.
Friday - Florence, Underworld, Ride, Chvrches, Belle & Sebastian and Sam Smith.
Saturday - Blur Soak, George Ezra and Roisin Murphy.
Sunday, Boomtown Rats, Villagers, Tame Impala, Gavin James and Interpol.

...

So underworld in the EA tent and the rest of them on the main stage ?

suppose the running would be Ride, Chvrches, Belle & Sebastian, Sam Smith, Florence .. or am i overestimating Sam Smith as a big draw (personally I don't like that album)

I reckon Hopkins is an Electric Arena headliner for Saturday or maybe the Park performance at Glastonbury inspired EP to put Hopkins as the late night main stage closer, I wouldn't mind that either. To pmalone Belle & Sebastian were the first announced act for EP and EP said B&S were headlining the Electric Arena on Friday night.

Clearly missed most of that interview!!!

Plenty of great acts throughout Sunday, but jeez it's going to be bleak around the main stage for the "headline slot" Sunday night (compared to last year like!!) ! I imagine the majority won't be interested meaning everywhere else will be jammers!!

Why must they wheel out Stuart Clarke out - he's a ****ing fraud who blags his way with people who don't have a clue.

Can't stand the clown

Was in Porto for Primavera in June and they had Ride followed by Underworld for main stage. They have followed that order at couple of other festivals so wouldn't be surpised if Underworld were Main stage. They are a big enough dance act to do main stage....

I would imagine it's Sam Smith then Florence closing main stage. Underworld followed by Belle and Sebastian closing the EA

He once said Daft Punk were hotly rumour, the year RAM came out. EP were recording majors loses and DP appearance fee would have been astronomical plus they don't like touring. He is not in the know as he comes across.


If Underworld are on friday , that means the "dancey" set late on saturday night is wide open , unless they want to put blur on and time it with rte's live coverage if they are doing it.

Could be Hot Chip , could be Hopkins.

I think you may have had it .. maybe he is a big Bronagh Gallagher fan.

But probably it is that sneaky Son Lux announcement there .. well pleased with that

I went up last year at 5 but couldn't find anyone, but in fairness, we didn't organise it that well.

I was there wearing me hat at 5.15pm. I got a bit delayed with the pitching of the tent.

Otherway round i reckon on with underworld and Belle and sebastian. Just makes more sense to have the dance lads on last.

But true. His input to Feile trip to tip doc on rte was cringe inducing.
