So true, there is a great buzz at the Absolut, it was one of my favourite places along with Port Royal.

Just checking out Floating Points there, was expecting this DJ fellah, there is an electronics guy there, but a whole lot more besides, live band and orchestra and a cool sound. A latter day electro prog rock sound, I'd say they would be an interesting watch.

sounds like absolute muck to me. i loved king bromeliad and nuits sonoroes when they came out and was expecting big things for the album. then we get that shíte album with an even more pretentious and boring liveshow. i'll wander over for a look at primavera hoping that he might be playing those 2 aforementioned bangers but i doubt it.

look at one of the youtube comments on that live video for feck's sake! puke

Lol. Have to agree. I loved his early records but the album is a total snoozefest. I can see why it's done well though. There's a huge market for that kind of mid-tempo, noodly electronic music.

Yeah have to admit some of that is rather self indulgent, but there will be other stages. I liked when Shepherd went off on his own sometimes, he makes some nice electronic sounds kinda like Holden, Jaar and Hopkins in that regard. I don't know if Floating Points is touring with the band but would like to see him do a standalone show without the group. I also noted George that you took the one comment that disagreed with the music, everyone else raved about it.

MyPeopleDrankTheSoup

the youtube comment that disagreed with the music? nah that guy is loving it. he's finding himself!

Usually 2-3 days before but people start putting a list of times together themselves as artists post their times on Facebook etc. The lighthouse cinema tent is the only one known so far.

bodhrandude... on android you can download last year's app for EP or B&S if you wanna see how it works ..
B&S: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.pablosoft.bands2015
EP: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.pablosoft.electricpicnic2015

or iPhone:
EP: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/electric-picnic-2015/id1033102236?ls=1&mt=8

For some reason the iPhone B&S one is not showing up ... have no idea why not.

will do a B&S 2016 in the next few weeks .. not sure if I will get an up to date map .. seems to be a few changes this year ..

Hopefully one of the traders sees sense and puts up a big screen for the euros.... I know its not what the festival is about etc etc, i bloody love body and soul, only missed one of them but i bloody love the football too!! I'm coming back from the euros to go to B&S!! Remember when the hidden agenda guys finished out the festival in 2014 with sunchyme because the world cup was on, it was all sorts of amazing! If Ireland get a result on the saturday the buzz will be unbelieveabl

....no wait it was samba de janiero wasn't it!

RINO87

You miss out on that great collective atmosphere by watching it on your phone, I'm not saying that there should be a stage dedicated to it, but if one of the bars screened it they would make a fortune. That money could, and should be put back into the festival. B&S caters for all sorts, why not have a small section catering for the football?

How much cash is recommended for this? I'll most likely only be buying food and a couple of pints as I'll be bringing in drink.

Bring a cooler/eskie for your drink and it'll stay cold til Sunday afternoon, if you keep it in the shade. I only bought about 2 pints there in 2014.

B&s have never catered for any sporting events so I don't see why they would start now. Whether it be GAA, football or whatever. There are always going to be fans wanting to watch something like it's their religion.

The lions tour was on a couple of years back which was a big deal for me but I didn't expect to see it. I personally hope B&s stick to their guns and the euros isn't on because it would definitely change the atmosphere to something I don't want.

Any type of food seems to be a tenner, pints were 6.50 I think last year. Depends on how much your gonna eat and drink really!

I always have a plan on what il spend which I never stick to as I just loose the complete run of myself on arrival!!

Jesus I can't wait

Has anybody else on the deposit scheme (2nd half due on June 1st) received their ticket? Weird cos EP don't send theirs out til all installments are paid? I'm sure it will still scan fine once both payments are made

I have my ticket but the money hasn't been taken out of my account yet, as you say second half will probably be deducted from the account at the start of June

boopdedoop

Probably way too late to be considering this but time got away from me, I was hoping to find somewhere to crash the Thursday before (bnb, hotel whatever), the list on their website won't work for me, can anyone recommend anywhere to look that's relatively close by? Probably all booked by now but worth a shot :-)

Hi All,

An English friend of mine wants to go to body and Soul but she mightn't be able to get into Dublin Airport until 8pm.
What would be the best way for her to get out to the festival or is it even possible? For a reasonable cost that is.

Thanks,

CdeC

I've been told that they'll be closing the gates at 11pm on Friday night (obviously reopening on sat) so keep that in mind as well.. Had to ask as I'm coming straight from a wedding!

grudgehugger

Reading between the lines of the write-up on the Second Nature area and some of the names on the Absolut Art Bar list (Mother DJs for example...), could it be that Reckless in Love is no more at B&S, and more generally after some issues with overcrowding last year that they are trying to make the woods less of a late night party zone than in previous years???

Focussing attention on the Main Stage and Midnight Circus fields (which has Absolut Art Bar...)

Perhaps too many people at the festival these days to have us all partying in the woods?

Peterd66

That was my reading of it as well, no Reckless in Love, which is a pity as having Mother there all day Sat was great.

Are you actually sure it is sold out, there is no indication on their website or facebook page, usually they would be the first markers that it would be sold out.

Whats the crack with small gazebos? Says on the site they arent allowed but noticed a couple at picnic two years ago and I think they said the same?

If no gazebos are allowed, any other things to keep the sun/rain off my head?

If it's a move to an existing space, could they be shifting it into the Walled Garden where Wonderlust has been the last few years? Then they'd need a new spot for Wonderlust tho

Another option could be where the Chai Wallahs tent was last year in the Midnight Circus field - no mention of that yet...
