St Vincent and Prodigy clashing. Aw man! Provisionally, I'd lean towards St. Vincent as it will be the Sunday night so will probably be all bopped out!

Both have Sunday 2nd on their websites. Both are in other festivals on the Friday:

http://www.theprodigy.com/#tourdates

As to time, that's a guestimate based on the way EP usually have a big clash closing on the Sunday and the Main stage closes earlier. Last year they had Duran Duran, Soulwax, Kiasmos and Ash playing at the same time. I can't see either of them being further down the bill than headliner to be honest, Prodigy in the Main Stage St Vincent in the Electric Arena from 11-12 would be my guess!

I'd reckon she's big enough at this point to headline the EA on the Sunday

Doesn't mean they'll clash though? St. Vincent could well be on earlier in the day.

Yep. The only other realistic possibility is the c9pm-10.15pm slot on the main stage, which would be less clashey but I can't see them doing that.

No, it doesn't, but it's looking that way. Can't see either of them being any less than headliner of a stage. If it was the Saturday I could see her being on 10.30-midnight and then the prodigy playing 12.30-2am, but the Sunday main stage and EA close earlier. The Prodigy at 2am on the Saturday would be amazing though!

At the stage now where a couple of old Irish acts for Jerry Fish and a couple of tribute acts for Salty and Trailer Park and I'm good to go.

Ah bless, these Charming Men replied to me. Dust those Smiths tshirts off, folks. They're hitting the Salty Dog at 7.15 on the Saturday. Teenagers, approach at your own risk.

It's annoying that bands know exactly what time they are playing, but we wont be told until a week before

Permission to whoop and holler!!
Get the fug in!

Le Galaxie on their Instagram yesterday said they’d just finished their ‘last’ festival of the Summer. And in response to a question, they said they’re ‘not’ playing EP - quotation marks are theirs so presume they ‘are’ playing. Weird though - would have thought they’re too big for Jerry Fish or Trailer Park. So perhaps there will be another ‘final’ main announcement for lower tier bands?

Unless they’re just doing a DJ set at Salty Dog like they did a few years back? I know they’ve been relatively quiet of late with record label issues, but they can usually well fill a tent with everyone going mental....

Doesn't that apply to everyone? I've been paying bills & trying to get off work since 18 (working when at college in my twenties). But the aforementioned extra cash for the older festival goer means bills are more affordable. Age often means greater seniority at work and can lead to great ease at getting leave. Maybe we're lucky but I've never known any hassle for any of our crew at getting time off for festivals. Worst case scenario they'd head down late on Fri & back on Sun night or early Mon.

That same 2013 survey showed that 28 per cent of UK (figures likely similar here)festival attendees were over 41 with 3 per cent over 65. Another 11% were between 35 and 40. Thus 39% over 35 and festival crowds getting older as people realise they don't have to be 22 to go for a weekend in a field. Anecdotally I've seen many people in their fifties head to their first festival.

In terms of getting a crew together we've several heading to EP, a few instead went to ATN and many also went to Primavera Sound this year as well as Forbidden Fruit. That gig-going ain't changing for a while.

This. Every word.

The idea that festivals are the preserve of twenty somethings whilst the sensible older people stay at home is old hat.

Don’t think there will that red bull tropical garden...it was only there in 16 I think? They had that small sounddome thing last year instead

Rigor Mortis

Anachronica is out
Jerry Fish should be out this week, going by last year
Is the Red Bull venue back this year? The first stage list on the EP App didnt have it.
Also comedy still to come.

Is that really true? It may be just the people I’m familiar with but almost all the forty & fifty somethings I know get to at least one festival a year. That demographic generally has more cash, are usually able to buy an early bird straight after EP in September when many youngsters are financially strapped and most oldies feel utterly comfortable at fests that have a wide age range.

The last research by Statista five years ago showed that the average age at Glastonbury was 38.8 years. That’s a hell of a lot of people over 40 to balance out the younger punters. I’d wager that the EP mean age isn’t far off that.

Our personal group range from 36 to 54 and we’ve older pals who’ve occasionally popped in. EP & other fests wouldn’t survive without the over 35s/40s, particularly in the event of an economic downturn when that’d be the demographic most able to afford tickets. Ignore us at your peril FR.

It's also the demographic who settle down and have kids, who have bills to pay, can't get off work and who simply can't manage three days of carnage in a field.

Average age is not a good measure because older people count for more and so they skew it. So if you have one absolute legend who is 60 and still going, and three 20 year olds just starting out - their average age is 30 but that's meaningless, because three-quarters of your audience are actually only 20. That's who you want to target. (Median age would be a better measure)

I'm in the same age group as you btw and every year it gets harder and harder to get a crew together.

Wow, normal v non-normal distribution in a forum about EP !! There's a first!
Me also "that age" - I'm 48. I never had a crew to start with! Norman no mates and love it!

Anyone know if you can get a slab of hop house and where they might be purchased?

Many thanks.

Spotted boxes in a few local Tesco shops over the weekend. Think it was 8 cans for €14. Haven't seen a slab but that might be the cheapest way to get a decent amount of it.

Wyvern Lingo self confirmed their time for Sunday@3PM in the EA.
