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

Poorside

No sign of The Styrpes

I’m truly shocked.

The tent will be rammed for Le Galaxie.

Rfrip

Slideshow disco will be brilliant! Yay!

Great announcement from Jerry Fish, can see myself spending more time down there than usual! I wonder are they going to make it any bigger otherwise it will be absolutely rammed for certain gigs. Did I completely imagine this or did someone say after last years EP that they heard that the Jerry Fish tent could be moving to somewhere outside of the main arena? Like the Salty Dog, Trenchtown etc.

I'd imagine if it was moving or increasing in size the update would have mentioned it.

I presume the sideshow disco will be a safe haven if you've gotten too old/tired for the rave in the woods? It seems like the latter has been too heavy the last couple of years

There was a lot of complaining about the noise bleed into that stage from the twin abominations that were the fake ciggie crew and the st1t beer stage.

Updated for this.

Some great additions in there.

Le Galaxie, Frank and Walters and Murder Capital, solid additions. Jerry doesn't disappoint.

Every one singing along to after all in that tent will be a moment!

dirkmeister

Ahhh....The Minutes...great memories of them in 2014.

Brilliant to see them back.

I just need to hear 'Put the chain on' and I'll be happy!

MsMojave

Is there anything left to announce then?

They are hillarious hard to know if they are a comedy act. Don't think I'll go see them heard they sold out the Olympia in a few hours so will be fairly popular.[/quot

Not comedy but best part is one is from Sandymount!

Peterd66

Great at Vantastival as well

Jerry Fish and The Pirate Ship seem to have bigger acts this time around. Some really solid bands! Missed Engine Alley last time so will definitely be there this year. Jack O’Rourke seems to be playing with them, and he’s a fantastic singer, to sweeten the deal!

Looks like I’ll be doing more walking at EP18!

Great line up from Jerry Fish! Delighted the Minutes are back

Would love if the stage was moved to outside the arena, would be perfect for it!

So Mindfield, Trailer Park and possibly a few special guests to be announced here and there. Ash were announced late on last year for Jerry Fish.

The non main stage announcements have been more than solid.

That's a pretty stellar late night line-up. Jerry's is the place to be after midnight. I hope he's got himself a bigger tent.

Ah in fairness we don't know many times at all so we can't say it's light yet.. It usually is a little bit lighter than the other two days though so not a shock if it is the same again this year. Wonder who will headline the EA on the Friday? Bicep were class last year.
