Yep, +1 on the red wine front! For anyone looking, boxes (bags) of wine are hard to come by, but M & S do them and they're pretty decent.

This is what I'm thinking, box of wine between herself and me, some cider, some craft beers and some good whiskey.

For anyone who has stayed in Pink Moon the last few years, how long are we talking for queues for the showers in the morning? Have stayed there the last 2 years but haven't used their showers, I know there would probably be no queues if I waited until the afternoon but I'd say it's morning showers or nothing for me.

The longest I’ve queued is about 20 minutes. The lines look long, but there are loads of showers and they move very quickly. It’s a nice way to wake up

Yes recommend their bag of Cotes du Rhône. About €18 I think for 1000ml

Was that area (new Eco camp) previously forest that has been "recently" cleared? The satellite image on Google Maps shows that as a forest area ....

Who guys

Blackie_IRL · 20-08-2018 1:16pm

I still think we might get a mini EP announcement this week to fill out the main arena by another 10 acts. Maybe I'm being naive but Le Boom have self confirmed as have Ejeca and neither were on any official announcement or poster

Blackie_IRL · 20-08-2018 1:18pm

I don't see Dublin Gospel Choir on official poster either

82 acts on the main announcement this year, there were 88 last year.. Is that enough to warrant another announcement? I'm not sure. But agree it is weird that Ejeca or Le Boom haven't been in either announcement.

They went out of their way to announce the day of ATN. I'm surprised they haven't done anything of note today, the day that ATN tickets go on general sale. They will want as much hype as possible I'd imagine over the next week and a bit. Holding back a small 3rd announcement could well fill the void.

Would recommend to anyone who has not heard of them. Lots of energy and lunatics to boot.

Agreed - could be reading too much into it but the link to the line-up on the EP website homepage says "View your 2018 lineup so far". This would suggest there is more to come.

Hi all, currently looking on the artists' websites to see who has self-announced and the Friday seems extremely empty?

Artists I have managed to find so far:

FRIDAY
Kendrick Lamar
Bad Bones

SATURDAY
Jorja Smith
Dua Lipa
George Ezra
NERD
Friendly Fires
Jungle
Maggie Rogers
Wolf Alice
Tom Misch

SUNDAY
St Vincent
The Prodigy
The Kooks
CHVRCHES
Death Grips
Cigarettes After Sex
Jessie Ware
Wyvern Lingo

Not sure about DJs such as Denis Sulta/Nina Kraviz/Peggy Gou etc as their Resident Advisor pages don't have Electric Picnic listed.

|Mount Kimbie|DJ Koze
|Tom Misch|Jessie Ware
|Wolf Alice|Colter Wall
|Sevdaliza|Inner Circle
||Lucy Dacus

That is what I could find when I looked about a week ago. Friday lineup is usually lighter in fairness, only about 5 acts on the main stage and then 3 or 4 in the Electric Arena. Rankins Wood is only open for the 2fm History of hip hop/Jenny Greene stuff and then Little Big Tent & Cosby Tent aren't open.

What's the probability that they're keeping a third announcement for this week with Ejeca and Le Boom? Maybe with Hozier as he's playing in dublin the week after EP?

Was thinking the same when I seen hozier announcing gigs for the week after

I've just realised I'm going to miss St Vincent and I am devastated.
