Electric Picnic 2018 **Discussion Only // No Ticket Sales** [Part 1]

Would like to see Jon Hopkins added to the new announcement, he seems to be a regular enough visitor to Ireland and I was blown away by his B&S set this year. I can't stop playing the new album, lovely stuff, I see he is touring again from the middle of September in the US. Its worth catching his new show at Vicar St.

The The played a much shorter set than the rest of the tour due to the Iveagh Gardens curfew, Matt said they could have played another hour. Hopefully Seathrun66's prediction is correct!

What a set, though! I loved every minute of that. Fecking announce them already. I don't care what else is on the bill.

I thought they were terribly flat and lifeless, most disappointing for me, the songs lacked any sort of punch

Really?? I don't know, I was close to the front and centre, proper fans around me, everyone belting out every word, I thought he was in great voice, band were excellent, I don't get that at all, Although you're not the first one I've heard give them a negative review.

I thought The The were very impressive. Our lot stayed at the back and the sound was simply not loud enough. I've not seen a gig at Iveagh before but there must be pretty stringent noise restrictions. If they play EP then hopefully they'll blast us away.

I've seen Fleet foxes and Richard Hawley there and didn't notice any discernable drop in volume from a regular outdoor gig... But I'd tend to be pretty front and centre.

Yeah, it looked great at the front from the view I had whenever I went to the toilets. I think they'll be noisier and possibly more dynamic if they play EP. And we might get Giant in the setlist, a bad omission yesterday and on this leg of the tour. Otherwise great choice of tracks.

Do the position of the 3 headliners on the poster indicate what night they are playing?

Later than usual with my playlist making this year but have a shtart on it now...

Field Music sounding fantastic on a quick listen to their current setlist today - an ideal act for between 5 and 7 on Saturday or Sunday, get me going for the evening

Yeah I would assume Kendrick is Friday, Massive on Saturday and Nerd closing Sunday but I think a few large fonted subs is going to be filling in there just below them.

I'd be raging if they didn't play 'Giant'.

Another week of speculation begins. Expecting a few sponsors stages to be announced this week, Heineken, Electric Ireland etc.. possibly a Body and Soul one towards the end of the week, and obviously Radiohead will self announce that they're headlining the three nights.

Blackie_IRL

I think we'll get the woods announcement this week based on last week's instagram post. I'd like to think we'll get the main announcement too but the longer the wait the more I think they are holding out till just before ATN.

What if there is no "second" main announcement?

WELL THEN WE MARCH AT DAWN

No doubt a few more acts that will play on main stage and some headliners for EA but maybe we should not expect any world beaters. Kendrick would have cost huge money, NERD cant imagine they are cheap also, Massive Attack maybe not as much as the former but still expensive enough I would imagine.

I'd love this too, i'd say its pretty unlikely though with B&S and his Vicar street gig.

I work for a competitor of Woodies, I'll do you a deal.

Hoes are where it's at, we should all have a hoe.

I have a slightly rusty pair of secateurs, that’s going to scare the life out of them.

What a tosser. He'd be well suited for Electric Picnic.

Try doing that at my age, he'd be dead outside too.

Nearly crying because his phone was dead???, he needs to stay away from the brown acid.

Hi Lads and Ladies,

Long time watcher, first time poster.

Came across a lad on done deal selling pink moon camping for EP this year. Seriously considering buying however I am not sure if it is possible to sell pink moon camping second hand? Would any of you know if this is alright to do?

Would be, all they look for is proof of purchase and don’t check ID, I’d be wary of it though, probably better to get onto PM and see if there’s a cancellation list you can get on.
