There is an area in boutique called Picnic Garden. IIRC, there are regular "guest" tents pitched in there usually. I could be wrong, but that was my understanding.

Picnic garden has camping for guests, you walk up past the boutique / pre pitched tents and pitch your own. Wristband also gets you access to vip area near main stage.

this is what im trying to figure out, the area beside the main stage was Guest area, guest and VIP are not the same I thought, is that now the same?

morrissey1307 · 03-09-2015 10:27am

So are Ride definitely playing Friday then? At least that means I can catch all of Blur and some of Natalie Prass wooooooooooo

Slobberdawn · 03-09-2015 10:28am

Anything further on the the rumour that Low (or was it Ride) are playing Friday now?

morrissey1307 · 03-09-2015 10:29am

Just read on Ride's twitter and they've said the programme is wrong and they're on Friday night. Excellent!

Should probably have said guest area - same place anyway. Main benefit is decent toilets.

Been following this saga for the past 12 hours. The band and band member's twitter accounts have been emphasising that they're playing Friday night, and to spread the word that the published schedule is wrong. Seeing as they're booked into Hot Press for a chat Fri afternoon, it makes sense.

But only stony silence from EP so far on the matter. It would really help with the Sat night clashes if they play Fri, but wondering where they can be squeezed in on the Fri night. After B&S in EA perhaps?

Ride is one of my main must-sees for the weekend, so shall be tracking this with much interest.

Picnic Garden is the area beside main stage. It's not VIP.
People who get into picnic garden often just say it's VIP jusst to seem more exclusive.
Spotted Bono in there a few years ago. It was funny watching his security pick off the idiots trying to approach him and Bono doesn't even notice.

Only just jumped on the schedule change bandwagon this morning. I hope they are on Friday night as you said, it'll clear up clashes for me!

Definitely one of my must sees too! You can see the replys they've sent to people on twitter confirming they are on Friday

That is the Guest Area ... Picnic Garden is in the Boutique Camping area ...

Has anyone compiled a clear printable timetable of all the stage times for the weekend? Would rather not rely on the mobile, battery and small screen not the best.

Nah, I think you have that mixed up. Although they are calling the Picnic Garden, VIP Picnic Garden now.

My guess is they won't play at all.

go to http://clashfinder.com/s/electricpicnic2015/

click the acts you want to see.. then click customise and set the stages you want to print ... works a charm ... unless you want to see Ride ;]

before B&S i'd say.
odd that the band don't know when or what stage they're playing.

Low told me on twitter they were playing Friday but site says Saturday. Hadn't realised Ride were in same boat. Bit of a weird one.....

I know very little of this "ride" you speak of, but could they be playing the other voices tent?
