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

D.Q

THURSDAY ... Partly cloudy, isolated showers, lows near 7 C and highs near 16 C.

FRIDAY ... Sunny intervals, warmer after a cold start to the day (lows 2 to 5 C inland rural districts and 7 to 10 C coastal, urban centres). Highs near 21 C. Light winds.

SATURDAY ... Increasing cloud, warm in the south and east with highs near 21 C. Rain at times west and north, highs near 18 C.

FURTHER OUTLOOK ... Showery on Sunday and somewhat cooler (18 C), then a few fairly settled days before a gradual turn to quite unsettled and windy weather.

MT is the only forecast that matters

That MT forecast looks excellent - great weather Friday, pretty good shot at another great day on Saturday.

At worst a couple of showers on the Sunday evening....if this forecast holds we're in business!

What time does the fun start and where is the best place to find it?

Can we all collectively agree that this is the weather we want and just ignore the other ones please?

I use this app for weather week in week out for golf, it is by far the most accurate of all. It matchs Met Eireanns forecast too so I would say its rock solid :cool:

Disappointed with King Kong Company's time slot.
Although them being on at 15.30 on the busiest day will see them getting a huge crowd in EA.

Also Pond being on at same time late night slot as Soulwax?
They would have been perfect on at late afternoon.

ghostdancer

Japandroids / Floating Points
Kelly Lee Owens / Car Seat Headrest
Interpol / Tiga
Clark / Sunil Sharpe
Soulwax / Kiasmos

nothing too bad I suppose.

Kinara Kitchen - Pakistani food is great.

Wok n Roll was great last year - huge box of noodles

Was also recommended Saba for this year

I use YR all the time and find it the most reliable and accurate. The Met Eireann Rainfall Radar to back it up as well.

Clashfinder updated?

HairyCabbage

Where are Band of Horses, Daithi and Birdy? I can't even find Daithi listed anymore, was he ever performing or did I dream the whole thing?

Madness/ Michael kiwanuka is a bit ****e and I think TCM will be missed, doubt I'll go out after madness to come back in for band of horses.
I'll just have to kick teenagers by myself.

Madness are playing the Saturday though not the Sunday

ghostdancer

someone is updating it at the moment, Electric Arena added but a few mistakes though.
I'll try update/correct it later if they don't finish it.

Christ, Father John Misty and Car Seat Headrest clash for me. Both were in my top 5 must see.

Nothing f***s up your Wednesday like realising it's only Tuesday... there only so much pretending I'm working I can do!

Aye and Elbow and DJ Yoda at the same time too.

The rest of my weekend is light on clashes but that is 4 acts at the same time.
