Any chance you could add this stage to Clashfinder (I can't seem to figure out how to edit it).. Few artists here I'm hoping to catch over the weekend and Clashfinder is my bible for the 3 days...

I can guarantee one thing, there will be weather

Further Outlook : Friday and Saturday, at this stage, look like being mostly dry, bright days, with very few showers and with sunny spells at times in all areas. Temperatures should recover a little, peaking at between 17 and 20 C., in light to moderate variable breezes. Some mist and patches of fog at night also.:):):)

Really? A tribute act? I'd have thought they would be at the bottom of the list of bands to see at a festival.

They should not be at a music festival.

Can anybody recommend any good insoles that I could put in my runners to make the 20 mile walking around EP every day a bit more comfortable I was planning to wear the boots I wore to the last EP but can only find one of the pair. Havnt a notion where the other one is. Thanks

Interested to hear more views on this... personally am always surprised there are not more acts like this at festivals.

Would love to see a decent Beatles covers band @ EP sometime.

I have no problem with them playing. They're a good band and if you've ever seen them live you'll know that the lead singer takes the piss out of the fact that they're a cover band. They're a bit of throwback fun. People need to lighten up and stop being so precious about a festival. There's far worse ideas being implemented at EP each year.

Anachronica Saturday times:

District 8 takes over the Anachronica stage at Electric Picnic to bring you the best mix of electronic music into the early hours!

Line up
02:00 - 04:00 Sunil Sharpe
00:30 - 02:00 Moduse
23:15 - 00:30 Long Island Sound
22:00 - 23:15 Mode_1

D.Q

Have no problem with tribute bands playing smaller stages when there are so many stages around the place.

Should only be for legendary bands that aren't around any more though. Have no interest in a foo fighters tribute band for example.

Picked up a campervan ticket and am not the original purchaser

Does one need id to match the original proof of purchase as per the info on EP website..

Appreciate any help.

D

All campervan occupants must have weekend camping tickets to gain access the campervan area. Please note for campervan/caravan passes the purchaser will be required to bring the original proof of purchase to site along with their pass. This is to prevent touting of campervan passes.

If its a good tribute - why not?
The Roadhouse Doors are playing and if they dont clash with anyone I want to see then I am definitely going along. If I could sit somewhere in the (hopeful) sun with a nice beer listening to the Doors for an hour, that's a good hour for me.

A little disappointed RTJ are on early main stage - was hoping they would be in a tent at night time.

Have no problem with tribute bands playing either... There is some may different stages/areas at EP that if you don't want to waste your time with them you don't have to... Personally, this year I'm hoping to catch the Doors and the Neil Young tribute bands (assuming there's no clashes)..

Went to see Daft as Punk last year at the picnic and had a great time. It's the closest thing that the Picnic will ever have

Eh? Why the feck not? God knows if we can fit in yoga, hot tubs, e-lites, cooking etc., there's certainly room for a gang of superb musicians playing the Smiths.

Another question and sorry if it has already been discussed.

The map has the Electric Arena and the Little Big Tent. Presumably it hasn't been updated for this year. Are these the B&S Earthship and Bandstand?

Who? Where are they playing?

The Salty Dog no stars are covering the stones exile on main street this year.

No, Earthship and bandstand are small stages within the B&S area

Charles OCK

Quick question, I live roughly 10 minutes from the site so travel distance is not a problem for me. What time ideally is the best to get in on Friday to avoid the largest crowds?

Sorry if this has been answered previously.

If previous years are anything to go by you should be ok, 10th year in campervan and never been checked.
Just have the "ticket" already fixed to windscreen.

SlipperyPeople

has anyone gotten the buses Sunday night/monday morning at around 4am?

If its possible debating having my stuff packed and heading home after the music stops so I can wake up in my own bed.

mimimcmc

I think EP is eclectic enough to host tribute bands, I'd certainly love to see Pearl Jem playing there!

Isn't there a festival that consists only of tribute bands? Tribfest?

michaelp97

Hi I just purchased an early entry pass there, this is my first time going, just wondering where on site or what entrance I go to to show my booking reference etc to get the pass at the festival. Thanks

showpony1

any idea what is "This Ain’t No Disco with Donal Dineen" that is closing the B&S main stage on the Sunday?
also is Robot Rock another daft punk tribute?

billybonkers

Are people in Pink Moon able to avail of the early entry? Will Pink Moon be ready?

Couldn't people in there go and mess with all the tents that are up with nobody in them?

Thundercats Ho

Seriously?

There will b e security there and you need a wristband to gain entry to PM.
It's an extra cost on top of the early entry fee.

I must be completely blind. Where's Interpol, Father John Misty, Clark and Car Seat Headrest?

Electric Arena I'd predict. Acts and times haven't been announced for it yet.
