Electric Picnic 2017 **Discussion Only // No Ticket Sales**

MJohnston

Campervan makes it easy to bring loads, but I usually get by with 24 of Orchard Thieves (I actually like it, as long as its ice cold, which again - campervan) because of not being bothered to smuggle stuff into the arena. Body and Soul's free flow policy is way better for everyone but the sponsors.

Lost bag

Usually bring cans and a bottle of vodka. Two 8 packs of Heineken in O'Briens off-licences for €20 or €14 for one, good deal got it yesterday, just need to try not dip in over the next few weeks!

I've seen Smirnoff 70cl for €20 in a few places too.

I'll pick up a few more cans of something else over the next few weeks to have a bit of variety!

Usually smuggle a hip flash of vodka or two in for the evenings down the cleavage!

I'm bringing a cooler bag, should be able to fit 20 cans in it and maybe a bag of frozen wine to help keep it cool

How does the wine fair out after it defrosts?

I make pre mixed two litre cocktail bottles. Long Island ice tea, espresso martini and caipirinhas. Generally bring a few cans of burners too

After it melts completely it should be grand, subtle change in flavor but nothing major. The bag would expand and contract so no risk of it exploding in the freezer or breaking it's seal. Only problem is drinking the entire bag in one day hahaha.

I'm willing to give it a bash anyways

I will bring 12 cans of beer, a flask of whiskey and 9 litres of water.

That's it.

It's that ****ing vaping stage again. It was a wooden cabin thing last year, all VIP areas and such bull****. And of course, the sound system was overwhelming all of the little B&S stages around it.

Wish they'd just cluster all that ****e off in some far corner, and then surround it with three layers of toilet cubicles.

If it's the vaping one I think it's beside Jerry Fish's stage, the one that drowns out the bands there.

I saw him in Global Green last year. There was about 30/40 people at him.
Excellent set, and i'd go see him again.

I was also at that set, saw him again at Castlepalooza last night and he was unreal. He is playing Electric Picnic on one of the stages in the body & soul area on the Saturday night.

As mentioned, that's on the other side of Body and Soul. Can't remember if Cocktail Cocktail was here last year, but every year I see some idiotic arrangement of stages that leads me to believe the layout is designed by people who never actually experience music.

They really ought to have volume restrictions on minor stages and especially on bar soundsystems.

Sorry if this was asked already but does anyone remember the costs of the cans you could pre order and collect at the campsites?

It was definitely there in 2015, but honestly can't remember it last year.
