Guest and performer camping are different yes. I'm in performer site this year, which comes with the 'luxuries' of no showers, no food stalls, nawthin. :P

I'm not gonna lie, I'm damned excited.

So excited I gave myself a dose of the runs...

Weather not looking as good, not as many of my friends going and I've seen better lineups.. but this is the most excited I think I've ever been for the Picnic. Not been to as many festivals this Summer might be the reason but I can't feckin wait now!

Where does one buy wellies and a camping chair right now in Dublin? Would Pennys have them?

Dunnes in Sandyford had loads of chairs and wellies yesterday.

Met.ie now saying rain for Sat morning and Sunday after dark.

I can work around that I think with Sleep, breakfast, beer in Camper on Sat and Phosporanet on Sunday evening.

Threw together a spreadsheet this afternoon of the Electric Picnic 2016 Stage Times so I could sort all the acts by time since all the lineups I'd seen before were sorted by stage. Said I might as well throw it up here if it helps anyone! It's by no means complete or guaranteed correct so double check before making plans!

Here if you want to edit the source data, and I'll update when I can.

Nice one!

The ECM charts that Met Eireann primarily use at this range has downgraded the rain for Saturday a little but as their text forecast says it's uncertain as that's the human experience in there looking at all the info.

The GFS has stayed pretty much the same up to 15mm of rainfall Saturay during daylight hours.

Friday has just odd shower and Sunday is looking same at present.

I'll have a forecast from overnight weather models tomorrow morning along with an update from the site car parks.

What would 15mm of rain equate to? 2-3 hours of heavy rain?

More like 5 to 6 hours of consistent rain with some heavy bursts.

I woudn't bother unless it looks like a complete wash out...bring 2 pairs and some socks..plenty of places to stay dry.

I would definitely bring wellies based on the predicted amount of rain this weekend. Hopefully the main arena won't cut up too bad but areas going into the campsites and stages like the Salty Dog and the rave in the woods are sure to cut up pretty bad if we're going to have around 20mm of rain this weekend..

You won't have any feet left to worry about getting wet if you go raving in wellies Friday night.

back on sale on ticketmaster as well. now just try to convince people that they'll have to lose money on their ticket! i guarantee there'll be well into the 100s of tickets going to complete waste this weekend from people too stubborn to take a hit

everlast75

the kind of people who want to get rid of tickets because there aren't enough mainstream bands playing, or because of a bit of rain forecasted, are the exact type of people I'm happy WON'T be there this year...

Tigger99

I started to write down everything I wanted to see until I realised when you favourite an act on the Electric Picnic App you get a personalised list by times. Fecking deadly

Course I'm gonna miss half the things I want to see like always, but I'm sooooo excited. I'm here listening to an EP playlist on Spotify

Tigger99

Dunnes stores in stephens green today still had wellies, chairs, (kinda crappy but anyways) sleeping bags and mats etc

nocoverart

Not going and I'm not gonna troll this thread about how I hate this, that or anything else about what EP has become... but I'm bloody jealous about not seeing Pantha Du Prince ('Presents 'The Triad') live.

Enjoy folks and keep safe

15mm of rain is a lot! I do a lot of whitewater kayaking so I spend a lot of time watching rain forecasts as we need rain to fill up the rivers for us. If I saw 15mm forecast over an area where I knew there was good rivers id be fcuking delighted because there'd be loads of water for us. If that much rain falls there's going to be a lot of mud. It's been a few years since we've got that much rain at the festival, probably not since 2010, the mud wasn't to bad then as far as I remember but capacity has increased significantly since then so there's more people to churn up the ground.
