Electric Picnic 2015

setanta74 · 03-09-2015 10:53am

This is a bit silly with the confusion about times. Ride are the only act I am deadset on seeing no matter what. Hopefully this is cleared up by 9am tomorrow before I drop out of society and the internet for 72+ hours.

Also I live down stradbally way and the evenings and mornings this week have been bloody cold so you have been warned.

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

Move MMJ and Dawes 90 mins earlier each, or perhaps switch either to the Sat if schedule allows?

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

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.

Here is my one, one page per day (PDF on Google Drive)

Only one more sleep!

I've seen an article that mentioned "no re-entry into the campsite with alcohol" but surely that's incorrect? Do people not keep some drink back in their cars and nip in and out on the Saturday/Sunday?

That, my friend, is a thing of beauty! Thank you, thank you, thank you

Ride posted on their Facebook page that they are playing the Cosby Stage on Friday and not the Electric Arena on Saturday. Problem is the Cosby stage doesn't appear to be open on Friday. Anyone know what's going on? Ride are the only must see band for me over the weekend.

Halfords, or some of the shops down capel street/Mary street

Don't worry it's late night shopping.
The camping store in that little arcade on Henry St seemed to have a lot yesterday. No idea re proces.
Big tescos have reduced tents currently...

So,

For the boards meet up, I see a lot of talk about going to BBB at 5... sounds like a good plan, but it will scupper the 5pm at salty dog ...

So what are we doing .. ?

is the plan to meet at 4.30 in salty dog and stroll over to BBB for 5?

Is all a bit messy and looks like it might not happen ... again

Whats the plan guys?

MadYaker · 03-09-2015 11:26am

4:30 at the salty dog on friday sounds good to me

Canneverfindit · 03-09-2015 11:27am

Pablo - thank you millions. That app is brilliant - I now have reminders set for everything I intend to see/ do and I strongly suspect the map is going to save me at some point. Have left 5 stars and a review. Really appreciate it.

Folks - know this has been done to death but have yet to decide between Wilde and Joplin. Could anyone advise the best car park for each please? I was a bit spoiled last year on a whole..

Can't find Curtis Harding on the timetable?

EP confirmed on fb or twitter (can't remember which) that this wasn't true.
you can come in and out of the campsite with alcohol.

think that was a Lovin Dublin article, which also had the Despacio times wrong.

Canneverfindit · 03-09-2015 11:29am

Oh, btw, the 3 penthouse thing is booked up completely for all acts - tried this morning.

No way am I going without wellies.

pulled out due to illness.

podgemonster · 03-09-2015 11:29am

Unreal, thanks lads. Halfords looks decent, Gona make a few calls! I barely know who's playing!

He's cancelled due to illness according to the EP twitter feed.

Canneverfindit · 03-09-2015 11:30am

Sorry and one more thing for those of you worrying about car parks closing/ exiting and returning etc..

I asked EP on twitter and they've confirmed that there will be no issue coming and going from the car parks all weekend. Open 24/7

This was me last year, got offered a ticket a day or two before and went. Didnt have a notion as to who was playing/ didnt care. It was brilliant. As someone said earlier, its not all about the music - so much to see and do (although the line up IS pretty excellent, to be fair)

FriendlyBook · 03-09-2015 11:32am

Does anyone have a rough idea of how much the crafts workshops cost in the GreenCrafts area? Was planning on doing a bit of basketweaving or something to soothe the hangover, but worried they'll be extortionate!

well they can just open the Cosby Tent for them if they need to. the only reason it's closed is to save money on lighting/sound/security people.
