Seriously no focus in work.........Full quality control took place yesterday even tested the camping chair with a can of beer!! Tent aired out and bags packed!!!! Weather Friday seems a lil dodgey but hey its Ireland, as long as the tent goes up in a relatively dry spell should be ok!

What time are people planning on hitting stradbally? Hoping to be there for 12, camping @ the ECO site, 3rd year there and love it!

Michael Kiwanuka is likely to be full of people who want to hear Michael Kiwanuka.

Does this make your choice any easier?

Agreed, have seen Florence live before and she’s not bad, but even if I hadn’t seen her before, its a total no brainer to see Michael.

Kind of allergic to the main stage for the very reasons you say, just crammed with event junkies who won’t shut TF up. I may make an exception for the Strokes, but will hang at the back, to be well positioned for moving to next pitstop

The streets don't seem to be listed on the main stage? Electric arena or freetown perhaps?

This is the 1st year in a long time I'm driving down myself and don't have to wait around for my mate to pick me up around 2.

Could hit the road at 8:30am... eek!

Never heard of shura before yesterday and now I’m obsessed with her!! Thanks ferris!
She will possibly fill the Robyn void next weekend...after a feed of cans il prob think it’s her anyway

Saw Shura at EP in 2015 and then Longitude 2016. It's pop with an edge/attitude. But there's something about her that really appeals. She and her band also were very "humble", if that's the word, which was great--they looked very appreciative. Really looking forward to this!

Can anyone recommend act similar to Kiasmos/Olafur at ATN?
Last year had The Blaze, but don't see anything obvious in line up.
Four Tet my best bet?

Same. 24 I think last year.

On a side note, in an effort to save cash I brought whiskey with me. It'll be the same this year, what with the Salty Dog situation.

Can't say I remember all the sets, but I can say I really enjoyed them all!

That is what it's all about!!!

Me too!!!

Ive a few questions around the family campsite that dont seem to be covered here https://www.electricpicnic.ie/information/family-info#info-section-37150

We have family camping tickets and know we have to register the child in advance. I have gone to EP a few times but never camped in the family section so I haven't a clue about it.

Myself and the wife will be arriving separately do you need a kid in the car to gain access to the family car park?

---

Not for the Car Park, but you have to have a kid with you to get your Family Camping wristband, i.e. to enter the campsite

I will be arriving first with my child, I presume when my wife arrives I just bring my child to the entrance and my wife will be let into the family camp site then?

---

Yeah

Once in the family campsite do you need a child with you every time you want to return back into the family campsite from the arena. Or once you enter the first time are you good to go for the rest of the weekend?

---

Once in, you’re free to travel childless

Ah I dunno man. Sometimes I get the cold sweats worrying about how shyte my memory is and wonder if pickling it once a year doesn't help.

Also, I envy those that can say "ah, that set from blah on a Saturday evening in 2011 was brilliant". Me? I can't remember who played 2011. I mean, when I look the list up I can remember bits, but that's about it

A warning....

If you are using Festable and you add an act that later gets its name changed, then you will lose that act of your itinerary and need to add again.

e.g. .. .I had added Mo .. then I changed the clashfinder to MØ. Itinerary loses the act.

Welcome to the Electric Picnic Loyalty Scheme registration page!
What is the Electric Picnic Loyalty Scheme?
Festival Republic have teamed up with Ticketmaster to offer you the chance to purchase tickets for Electric Picnic 2020 at a discounted price as a way of thanking you for returning to Electric Picnic.

If you are successful, you will receive a loyalty code for you to use to purchase a discounted ticket to Electric Picnic 2020.

I'm a bit nervy about that bit in bold! Why is there an "if"???

There is some good live electronic music at Body & Soul, might be worth checking out EMBRZ, Arvo Party, Cinema to see if you like any of them. Fjaak will be playing in Freetown and they are also a live act but would be quite heavy.

Yeah Talos a bit light I think - do like too though.

Cheers Fjaak prob a bit heavy for me, but will check out the others. I love the auld melodies. Just can't see anything obvious but am sure will defo stumble across something

Its basically a lottery now on who can get the loyalty tickets, basically its a random selection who will get access to the tickets

Not really , although I agree with your assessment. I like them both a lot. I'll move it into the 'Decide on the day' category. Weather may have an influence.

Clashfinder has the same issue. I had added Mo and then refreshed and had to add MØ.

yep thats what im taking away from that. ive automatically get the code the last few years, id say the numbers for the loyality tickets will now be very very limited

Il save the moaning for that though for the 2020 thread

no, they're sent out automatically if the purchases are on your ticketmaster account and you're signed up to the marketing email list.
I think a lot of people aren't signed up to the marketing list (or whatever list it is), so don't get them sent automatically and have to email TM themselves for a code.

I'd agree that this definitely seems better, as long as it actually works!

That was the idea but I've had to contact them each year to get the 3+ code. As have had loads of pals. It's seemingly only a proportion of people who get the right codes going by this thread.

And like you I've no great confidence in them getting it right but hopefully the extra week organising it gets it done.
