Some great Stereolab sounding artists playing this year......La Femme, Yellow days, Mount Kimbie, Gwenno....always a good thing.

So trailer park next, possibly a small 3rd announcement and then we are into the last straight, site maps next week, timetables week after. **** just got real.

Work is quite amusing at the moment.. people are like "...by end of the month" and I'm just nodding and smiling making EP lists

The EP app like much about EP this year is lame compared to previous years. Very few bands on it yet and it keeps crashing. It's like they don't care about the punters that handed over cash 10 months ago before knowing what they were getting. Feels like a slippery slope.

So looks the same to me as last years. Seems stable enough though

26th for timetable according to KKC

a Sunday?

did they release it all at once last year, or drip feed a few stages each day for the week in the Irish Times like previous years?

I generally struggle to get any substantial work done in the month of August. Or September.

I have yet to come across an official festival app that is reliable/not garbage.

Primavera's crashes constantly. Asks you to input your favourite bands and promises reminders. Then erases said bands and sends you reminders about other acts 12 hours after they've played...

I remember one of the very first EP apps had a "pin your tent" feature. Stand in the tent, pin it and then let the app guide you back at the end of the night. Wonderful; except that it didn't take into account tent poles, cables or darkness for one, but also punter disorientation at that time of night!!

Only app worth having for any festival is the one that PabloandRoy has done on here for a number of years!!

Agree scruff that looks the same but minimal bands on it so far and it crashes on me every 30 seconds or so. Have reinstalled but no difference. Will use clashfinder anyway but usually have a read of some bands on discover section. At this point knowing it is nearly here is making most things seem ok.

That pin your tent sounds hilarious. EP app last year was very reliable.

iOS or Android?

Wouldn't worry too much about the content in it until a couple of days before the actual event.

The absence of The Dublin Gospel Choir is a curious one alright.. Maybe we will have a last few names for the main stage area..

They are listed on the site, but I don't know what announcement they were in https://www.electricpicnic.ie/line-up/artist/dublin-gospel-choir

Looks like they said around the 26th.. For the past few years it has been drip fed in the Irish times over the Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday, presume it will be the same this year?

Thanks. My current app (Festable) also has a random crash sometimes when it reopens .. I am trying to get to the bottom of it, but the debug version just won't crash. Please send crash reports and maybe I can fix it.

Also I hope to have some rudimentary artist info stuff before EP and also a map (no guarantee on that but I have a map from the last few years and it should be straight forward to update it).

I assume so. Be nice if they just did it all on the Monday

Trailer Park is out. Great spot.

OK .. this is down to a combination of my (stupid & hacky) parser and the incomplete data in the clashfinder... the days are filled in order that they come in the clashfinder data and because thre was one on the friday and the next one in the data was on the sunday ... viola ... i added a blank line in the clashfinder data and it fixes it .. just reload the timetable ...

why did i just waste 30 minutes on that? .. godamm that ****ty incomplete clashfinder ...

Any recommendations on the Trailer Park lineup? I usually go there for cover acts and it is always great fun.

2fm are about to ruin my day... That have a "massive announcement for the Rankin Wood stage for the Friday night"... Which will no doubt consist of an assault on the ears.
