Electric Picnic 2015

might tweet Bacardi to ask them to put a memo up to barmen to stop fannying around throwing bottles about when the crowd at the bar is 4 deep and just wants a f-cking drink.

Given the types they hire i wouldn't count on it. Wasn't one barman sacked for doing a line on the bar last year.

They had a caravan near cosby stage one year that did bacardi cocktails too , it was the job.

Yeah. The more I think about it, the more I'm annoyed Rayko is playing there. He's fecking great but it'll just be background music to people getting pissed and chatting/

No work being done at all today and even less will be done tomorrow. Wish it was Friday!!

Maybe this is obvious to everyone else but what's the difference between the different campsites e.g. Chaplin/Joplin/Wilde/Hendrix/Warhol? Hoping to get some sleep and not have my stuff robbed :eek: :P

Would it be safe to assume that the quieter campsites will be the ones further away from the main arena, i.e. Chaplin or Joplin? They used to do a Quiet Campsite but not any more, it seems.

Raging Chvrches and Hot Chip are clashing. There's an insane amount of clashes on Sunday night too, Florence, Jackmaster, Le Galaxie, Julio Bashmore and Tame Impala all clashing. Might just end up saying feck them all and go to Despacio!

Casa Bacardi is probably my favourite stage in terms of music, always have some great disco DJs playing. Can attract a bit of a poser crowd I suppose but usually I find it's worth it! The Saturday line up down there seems very deep house heavy so think I will be avoiding it altogether on Saturday, it will be full of shufflers.

A few of us were thinking of driving down tomorrow night and setting up the tent then. Is that possible or is not open until Friday?

There doesnt seem to be any info on the Oxjam stage in Pablo's app.
Is there something up with that stage in general?
Trying to set a reminder for Bukspan, Tierney and Boyle (with Mick Pyro!).

Hackysack

Dunno if there's anything up about the app, but the times are on Clashfinder for Oxjam...

Am guessing but there was a small area in corner of trailer park last year which had a few bits, could be there.

Think ill bring mine anyway regardless. I have other boots to wear too but handy to have them just in case.

Defo bring wellies! It's better to have them and not need them than not have them and need them!

Even if there's not much rain over the weekend, it'll get a bit mucky with 50k people trodding over the same areas. Better to have them.
