It was 8,000 in the early years. Unsure if they've used a bigger tent in the past decade.

KKC at B&S will be mental and likely a safety issue but bring it on (survived them on salty dog). Saw thumper at kaleidoscope definitely worth a look if you like guitar music. Ae Mak and whenyoung were great last year. Lots of research to do. Currently researching on family holiday will get more serious in the next few days.

Kelly Ann Byrne is closing out the main stage on the sat night. Great timeslot for her

No mother DJs on that - do they usually form part of that announcement or do they just have that usual Earthship sunday night slot come the time.

a few years ago Attention Bebe closed the Earthship stage on the Sunday - which was equally good if not better.
As long as they stick to that type of vibe aka someone playing tunes we all know after a long weekend should be grand anyway.

I was thinking maybe mother will only do the Saturday In jerry fish tent.

i do hope they move attention bebe to a later slot not a 9pm/10pm Saturday when bound to be at something else.

I'm looking to swap one electric picnic ticket for an all together now ticket if anyone is interested? (I have the EP ticket). Mods apologies if this isn't allowed.

Lads, they are gonna get lost on the poster and announcements but a friends young fella has a band playing Salty Dog (Sunday I think).

The Wha - crackin little band from Kilkenny who I imagine will be loved by the guitar/indie gang on here. Think Smiths, REM, Stone Roses, Jam etc.

Can't wait for her set; she's my must see for the weekend. She's very much in demand and seems to be playing everywhere this year: bravo to the bookings team. If anyone on here likes their techno, come along: ye won't be disappointed!

ATN has had an impact on here, hasn't it? Body and Soul announcement today and look at the lack of activity in here. I think they should just let ATN have their fun and bombard it for the couple of weeks after it.

I am really not feeling it this year. Before the first announcement I was as excited as ever about EP, constantly looking up other festivals and touring acts to see who might potentially play EP. I haven't been a particular fan of any of the announcements and there probably isn't a single act on the lineup (that I've discovered yet) who I would buy a ticket to if they were playing a solo gig.

It feels like ATN have been blowing them out of the water with their announcements too and with that coming up it really is hard to think about EP this year. Maybe it will all change in the next few weeks as EP has always been my favourite weekend of the year. Anyone else feeling the same?

Pack it in, Ferris. I'm off to Curraghmore so my attention is momentarily diverted but come next week, I'll be bursting for EP again. Great Salty Dog announcement, very solid Body and Soul line up, it'll be fine. Hang in there.

Interesting act called "IDER", thought from the audio initially it may have been Sigrid. Really nice harmonies!!

Not going to ATN so that will be a factor but i am really looking forward to EP as for me personally the lineup is cracking, excluding headliners where only strokes of interest. Some nostalgia in jonny marr, richard ashcroft, jarvis, echo etc. Some new billie eilish, christine, lots of irish bands and lots i am discovering. To me a better lineup than ATN but know all wont agree with me.

Same here Stillill - just get this weekend over me and it'll be full on usual EP hype this end.

Just reading some horror stories from the ATN Thread re: campsite bawlbegs, not too impressed with that. Think the Eco Campsite has me spoiled, guaranteed asshole free.

Doing Eco campsite this year for Picnic. Actually looking forward to it, had some bad encounters last year in EP.

ATN18 didnt have any issues with the campsite, I guess its just up to campsite gods on who your festival neighbors are!

Eco is a wee haven. This will be our 5th year in a row staying there. It's so well run, has a great atmosphere about it.

ATN campsite was a utopia compared to the standard issues at EP regular camping. Very civil in the main. Fingers crossed - same story this year.

We are considering ECO this year also, but because we won't be arriving until Friday lunchtime, the pick of any half decent spot will be taken. If we stick with PM, will definitely pop down for a look over weekend

Don't you need to have had it booked into it months ago?

PM or Eco?
We have Pink Moon purchased, but we also registered for ECO camping passes after we read about how good it was. We could easily get rid of either
