If you're camping in jHendrix there's a few things to keep in mind. Don't camp beside trees or the fence at the back because that's where people piss. Don't camp near the food stalls at the front because it's really noisy 24/7. Don't camp beside the toilets for obvious reasons. Ideally you want to be somewhere in the middle, close to a path so your tent is easy to find but not directly beside a path so your tent doesn't get stood on.

It sounds like yourself and LG1234 who posted about three or four pages back were led to believe that you were buying camper passes, maybe you should post on the EP Facebook event page although they don't have a wall anymore so you will have to comment under their most recent post and alert them of this problem, perhaps they might ask you to mail them and you could probably get this sorted out.

They seem to be the same thing. Both the same area.
http://www.electricpicnic.ie/information/camping

Campervans, a caravan with a towing vehicle and a trailer tent with towing vehicle will each be class as a UNIT and will require a caravan/campervan ticket.

Every occupant of the campervan/caravan must have a valid weekend camping ticket to gain entry to the campervan/caravan field.
You will receive a sticker in the post to put on your vehicle windscreen so you can gain access to the campervan/caravan field.
Towing vehicles must remain with the caravan at all times.

They are one in the same! Campervans and caravans are in the same area every year! Cars must remain hitched to caravans and no modified vehicles (ie vans) are permitted!

They are indeed but I've seen'em play Belfast this summer and Longitude last summer, and a couple of times before.

Can very much see'em clashing with the Shins and SFA in Electric Arena first night though, so left them off my list.

The live show is pretty incredible, Believe, the second tune here at 5 mins is particularly immense live.

As an aging indie kid, nearly all my "best gig ever!!!!" gigs date back to the 90s.

Chemical Bros @ EP around 2011 is one of three exceptions to that - was blown away by that show.

My No.1 must see for this year - no question.

(Other two more recent "best ever gigs" for context - Primal Scream in their Kevin Shields/Exterminator incarnation @ Hammersmith Palais, David Byrne & St. Vincent @ EP a few years back)

I like the Chemical Brothers, have seen them at least 20 times live in their various guises (the Bust Brothers etc) since the early 90s but have never been impressed with their live PA.
Great tunes without a doubt, but the lazer/ Fancy graphics show and Tom & Ed standing po-faced behind the consoles is a bit samey, lifeless & stale compared to some of their 'Mainstage Heritage' UK Electronic contemporaries- ie Leftfield, Underworld, Orbital, and even the likes of Faithless, bloody Basement Jaxx & the Prodigy all have more presence live IMHO

Their DJ sets have always been excellent on the other hand- I've piles of their 90s mixtapes lying around my Ma's house somewhere that need uploading to Soundcloud or whatever its called.
Pity they never got a some of their colab vocalists or MC's involved in the live sets.

Whats a good time to arrive there at, and which campsite is usually regarded as the best for a balance between craic and sleeping? We would have maybe 4 tents between us

Saw them two/three years ago exactly where they'll play this year. I find that the type of music gets a bit lost in the daylight and outdoors so it'll be interesting to see what time they're on.

That's not to take away from the band itself though. Very impressive.

As early as you can. We were setting up camp at 12.00 pm last year and we had a good choice of space as to where to camp. I've no experience in other campsites but was happy enough with Andy Warhol so heading back there again this year. Definitely bringing earplugs though just to get a few hours kip.

I have standard weekend tickets and a standard campervan pass - thinking of bringing kids and now buying a family campervan pass.

But - Does anyone know if you can enter the family campervan site without family camping tickets?

I don't think there is any possibility of entering the family campsite without family tickets.
