Jurassic 5 should be in a tent, they'll be lost on the main stage. No problem with timing of Hot Chip, but Sam Smith coming on after them will be a serious bring-down.

And George Ezra before Hot Chip - are they trying to give us mood swings

God, I don't know if I'd even bother putting a tent up for the 1 night - kip in a car, or wear all your clothes and sit at an all night campfire and pull a 24/36 hour stint.

Thanks for that. Won't have a car and my days of 36 hour sessions are well behind me Will see.

I there are very few hip hop acts that pull off main outdoor stages, especially the setups with just mics and turntables. Wu tang were sh1t in 2013. J5 are no different.

If anyone was at Run the Jewels earlier this summer you'll know how great hip hop gigs are a heaving packed tent.

Ok so spoiler alert if anyone dosent want to give blur full set list away, this was the show from Hong Kong this summer, an amazing show can't wait for it. But don't watch if you don't want to spoil the show! Also time for a quick poll, who's gonna draw the biggest crowd over the weekend? Florence or Blur?

i saw Run The Jewels on an outdoor stage at Glastonbury and they were great.

J5 had no problems there last year either:

Yeah I think it might be ok.

Think J5 will be class ... looking forward to this. I already have a load of clashes and there are still 3 of the main stages to come ...

How well do you know the original owner? if it's a mate and they're not gonna diddle you by cancelling it and getting it re-issued then you are sorted.

Original owner is a good mate so...fingers crossed! :P

There were three stages in Body & Soul in previous years yet it looks like all the artists listed for Body & Soul this year are accounted for on the main stage and Earthship announcements.

Can we take it that there are only those two stages this year?

Anyone know?

Then you'll be fine, really doesn't matter what name is on the ticket.

Bootsy.

Friday night is looking excellent. Underworld followed by a great Body & Soul line up with Horror, Voodoo Game, and LA Priest.

Not 100% sure, but on the map from last week there is a stage called Block T, It looks pretty big on the map. If I remember correctly I think that is where the Upstage was last year.

FYI Heineken is €30 for 24 cans (500ml) in O Briens at the moment. Handy if you want to use the Heineken Cold Rooms at EP

Friday and Monday confirmed as off by work.

Oh yeah, giggidy

Cheers.

Just had a quick look on bodyandsoul.ie and I think it might be down to two stages.

That does look good, but that looks like it was about 9pm in front of a big crowd, could be different at 3.45 with a much smaller crowd...

I'm still looking forward to it but definitely think a tent would be better.

HausOfTony

Not sure if this has been posted but it's a corrected stage times list re: Despacio tent/Rankin Woods discussion earlier. http://www.joe.ie/music/the-stages-times-for-electric-picnic-2015-are-here/510152

Just downloaded the official EP I-Phone app.

Map is the image that the Irish times had on their web page. Pretty disappointing considering most have smart phones with GPS!

They appear to have all the acts assigned to a stage and date but without times.
There are three acts in the electric arena on Friday. See image

Just download the android version. Its a bit clunky to find what's on, stages in alphabetical order! ... You can figure out what day acts are on and on what stage, no times confirmed for any stages. Shamir confirmed in LBT on Saturday.

The Map doesn't work at all .. Blank screen...

Bootsy.

Are Salty Dog times out anywhere yet? Not on clash finder. I wonder who the secret sets will be. Stumbled upon Blondie there last year about 2am. They had obviously been boozing and the gig was way better than the main stage one.

To bring some wild speculation back to this thread, I'm gonna guess Saturday could be Future Islands or George Ezra. Sunday probably Boomtown Rats but would love if it was J5! Shane McGowan was rumored but now he's injured so who knows.

Rather than pulling bits from everywhere, the Times has this

"On Wednesday, we’ll have the full line-ups for every stage and act, exclusively on irishtimes.com/culture"

ghostdancer

if i remember correctly, last year the app actually had the times in the source code, but they were hidden until a certain day/time.
boardsie georgiecasey figured out how to access them!

frozenfrozen

set the date forward on your phone and try see if they show up

going on previous years, they won't have the times for loads of the smaller stages.

Does anyone know if I'll be allowed to pitch a totem pole flag as a tent landmark in the Pink Moon campsite?

Seen a lot of people last year with the drink bags/bladders to sneak a bit of drink into the arena.
Any idea where you can buy them?
Have looked online but it won't arrive on time for the festival

RosieBeag
