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

Jaysus they are really dragging out the stage times. To find out half of them the day before the festival is very late notice! That fills out Saturday a lot more for me, nice run of Friendly Fires, Wolf Alice and Jungle. Looks like I'll be at Kendrick Lamar as not much else on.

And,Salty Dog Thursday night, that’s brilliant to have.

Friday still looking a bit bare for me not a bad thing I suppose. At least they have some music on The Salty Dog on Thursday.....even if it is MoK.

Still no trailer park or little big tent.. Might release them later today hopefully..

Adam Beyer ??? Is that correct ??

Looking at the 3 'headliners' who are closing out the EA each night, surely that must be the weakest they have ever had? It can be forgiven though as the lineup in there during both Saturday & Sunday is really good.

The Kooks over St. Vincent is strange, but works out very well.

You would be complaining if st.vincent clashed with the prodigy

Tago Mago

Maybe we're in for another surprise or two for the Little Big Tent...

Ricosruffneck

Now I can see st Vincent and prodigy. Excellent turn of events,

That trio of sigrid friendly fires and wolf Alice in EA on Saturday is nice.

Decision between Colter Wall and Fontaines has been made a lot easier by the St. Vincent timing, see end of Colter, stroll over to St. Vincent.

The Colter Wall/Fontaines clash is probably the only one that has annoyed me...but not sure if Fontaines were down to play another stage over the weekend? Maybe I picked that up incorrectly somewhere

Haven’t seen that yet, hopefully they’ll pop up somewhere else, as a surprise guest in Jerry Fish or Salty dog would be good.

MsMojave

Been lucky so far but then I saw that cluster of Jordan Rakei/Wolf Alice/Dua. Some decisions to be made.

Just me or are we missing Gangs Of Youth from Electric Arena.. They are hardly playing Little Big Tent...

This is probably the Irish Times more than EP.

I'll tell you hear and now Sigrid in the EA will be the most difficult one of the weekend to get into!! Id say a huge portion of the massive Dua Lipa crowd will head there. Arrive early it will be jammers!!

I was hoping to waste a few in work, not a tap will be done after 12 today.

These charming men are on a bit later than was stated earlier in the thread. What happened there?

Fatfrog

BadTurtle

hoodor

BadTurtle

Nina Kraviz is in Rankin's Saturday night

Saw that yea. Thought it was a glitch

PabloAndRoy

I honestly do not understand why this is spread out until the Thursday. I can only imagine this is to try ensure that the clashfinder does not get finished up, so people buy lanyards. Maybe next year, it will be all announced on the Thursday afternoon.
