Electric Picnic 2016 // **Discussion Only / NO Ticket Sales / Requests** //

All performers get a free ticket and backstage access. Plenty of the unknown non professional acts would be happy with that.

Do they need to see all of the bag and thoroughly check it? I was planning on bringing a hiking bag and not a suitcase but i really don't wanna have to pull half the bag apart if they need to search it!!

I've the same rucksack for the last 10 picnics. All they've ever done is squeeze it for glass

Just had and idea... if I was to freeze burgers, steaks etc. Put them in a cooler bag with my cans and when they thaw, fire them on a disposable bbq... I'll be drunk enough by then to not notice warm beer and I'll have a steak too.

That's not going to be much help Saturday or Sunday, but I reckon it may work..

Wouldn't be risking potential food poisoning for cold beers. Freeze water bottles instead if you're going that route!

Is there a size limit to the tents we're allowed to bring in?

Likely the RBMA or the Little Big Tent, or depending how big he is possibly Rankins Woods.

Anyone else hoping that the Mother Dj's & Le Galaxie close the B&S stage on the Sunday night like last year? That was a ****in great finale & if it happens this year I'm going to try & remember the tunes as it would make a great singalong party playlist!! The Mother Dj's did something similar at Body & Soul Festival this year too. Anyone fill any of the blanks? I remember they deffo played these

- Toto -Africa
- Ain't Nobody -Rufus & Chaka Khan

Looking at a more accurate forecast now.. for the week leading up to Friday at least, is looking good.
The ground, which usually is in great shape anyway, will be able to handle any moderate amount of rain next weekend, whiche is very unlikely when you compare 3 or 4 different weather sites. Trainers and shorts it is

Yeah, a wee bit of drizzle is looking more and more likely on Saturday, but that's completely survivable really. Just needs to be plenty of woodchips on site!

It's still too far out to predict the weather for next weekend with any certainty. The different apps are still contradicting each other.

Tuesday or Wednesday will give us our answer. I'm confident we'll be okay.

I hope you're right. Weather can make or break the weekend.

Lemaitre sounding pretty damn good! Came on a shuffle just now, like a supercharged version of Empire of the Sun. The track was called 'Sceptics' for anyone interested!

Karl Blau's version of To Love Somebody = potentially a festival highlight already

Only if you let it. There's no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing.
