Anyone here got any Spotifiy/ Deezer playlists links for this years Picnic?
There are a couple available on both streaming formats but they lean heavily towards the headline acts and include almost all the artists catalogue as opposed to highlights/ deeper cuts etc

Im pretty sure there's a seperate body and soul playlist on spotify?

There's tickets galore for sale on adverts now for €250, you're better off with toutless though. My friend picked one up for cost price this morning.

For eg, these grabbed my attention yesterday, when listening to Nialler9s playlist.

I'm sure they're well known, but most are new to me anyway..

That's a good way of getting drink into the main arena. Hide a full bottle in a bag of empties.

I suspect it's going to be more for bottles in the arena, you can imagine how security will react to people turning up with bags of "empty" bottles at the gates.

To be expected though.

Daily Routine is all I'd expect from Merriweather. Lots of the new album (which I quite like even if if it's no Merriweather)

setlist.com is your friend

I liked the entire Feels album - probably my favourite that year and it was up against some stiff competition - but the LPs before and after only yielded the odd 2 or 3 good tracks from each (IMHO), and I've not liked the last two at all really. I may go along though because at the very least it'll be 'interesting'.

Hopkins closed the tent, on from 11 to 12. I reckon you're right regarding Avery having an earlier slot. And if not I think we're relatively safe as I can't see LCD starting before 12, possibly 12.30 as they'll take a fair while to set up after Gallagher. LCD's set is only about 90 mins long so they could finish at 1.30/2.00am. Noel Gallagher from 10 to 11.30? Chic were 12.30 to 1.45, that could suit LCD.

Wasn't Paul Kakbrenner on after Jon Hopkins last year?

Hopkins was last on Saturday.
Kalkbrenner was on Sunday, before Le Galaxie.

Very bad year line-up wise for me - in fact, it's the worst in memory. I will be reconsidering next year. Def. Shift in direction away from my tastes in music.

Definitely see:
LCD, New Order, Chemical bros, John Talabot, Sh**T robot (very poor return for ticket price!)

Probably see:
ABC
Toots
Broken social scene
SfA

Might also see:
New Jackson
Daniel Avery
Lemaitre
Pantha du Prince
Ezra Format

That's about it. Throw in a few clashes and didn't manage and that becomes an even shorter list.

Hope I'm surprised but expectation set low. Went through the nialler9 playlist last night and it was grim.

Anyway, fun will be had! But musically me and Ep look to be heading towards the big D-I-V-O-R-C-E

Thanks, I think I'd rather buy booze than have to carry around a bag of empties as a cover to sneak booze in.

Ok, your majesty.

That Daithi song is dreadful. Heard him perform it TodayFM or something with the vocalist, its just brutal.

I just got my hands on a ticket today off a friend who had to cancel their EP plans.
Is it ok that her name is on the ticket,and it also does not state which campsite i am in.just says 'WEEKEND' on the ticket with 'camping included'.Does this mean I can camp anywhere in jimi hendrix/andy warhol campsite.

Lester Freamon

In previous years you could bring in a 500ml bottle of water or a soft drink (with an unbroken seal) into main arena.
Not seeing anything about it this year
Saying only after 1 am

You're fine, the only campsites that aren't open to everyone are Pink Moon, Eco, Family. Everything else is first-come, first-pitch. Names don't matter on the tickets.
