Electric Picnic 2019 **Discussion Only // No Ticket Sales / Requests **

There's something about a really special outdoor performance when it's pissing rain. It elevates it somehow.

Ethereal Cereal

Fridays a fairly straight forward one for me...
Main Stage 7-12 Billie Eilish / Dermot Kennedy / Hozier
Body & Soul 12-4 International Teachers of Pop / Flohio / EMBRZ

that embrz gig is going to be super chilled

Daft Punk Marlay Park 2006 - the rain just added to the sensory experience.

Just me then. PSB a couple of years ago at Body and Soul. Hammering down. They were brilliant. I was beaming, looking around, everyone beaming back at me. Look at the state of us, out in a monsoon but isn't it beautiful.
Kind of thing.
Look, I'm just in good form. Go with it.

Quick question, I'm trying to get a last minute ticket to EP and found somebody who is selling a family camping ticket.

Is there anybody who knows if I can use the family ticket for general camping instead or will I just not be admitted?

If it remains dry during TCM we'll pour our water bottles on you to add to your sensory experience. All while beaming at you.

Another one due a Boardsies soaking.

Nathaniel Rateliff in the rain 3 or 4 years ago was great

Muahahaha

Man I would go out naked in a hurricane and thunder and lighting storm just to see Daft Punk play live

What is EP's fascination with the 2 Johnnies about? A stand alone announcement about a stage time for them on twitter.
At least I know to avoid Terminus at 5 on Saturday

They announced The 2 Johnnies to play their Terminus stage. How does that warrant it's own announcement? Surely they aren't that popular and they are already playing elsewhere. It's at 5 o'clock though which would indicate that stage will be open all day and not just at night time which I thought might be likely if it was going to be a dance music stage. Surely they will need to have some acts (even Irish acts) in order to fill out the tent if it is going to run all day.

Re: gigs in the rain, I sort of know what Stillill means. New Order in the rain a few years ago and The Wailers at ATN a few weeks ago it was lashing and certainly did make the gigs feel a bit more special the fact that everyone still gave it their all. The problem for me is after the gig it is very hard to motivate yourself to stay out in the rain if you are soaked to the bone! A poncho will definitely be on the shopping list over the next few days.

That was quite the soaking alright. Well worth it though.

there are probably hundreds of accounts that have 3+ picnics who do not go anymore. I would like to think that this registration is to ensure that the allocated loyalty tickets find their way into the hands of people who want them and not in some dormant account that will not use the code.

Stop fretting.

Maybe there should be a loyalty scheme for the loyalty scheme.

Now that I think of it. The loyalty tickets should be tied to the buyers ID.(Is that the way Glastonbury is?) That way the tickets would not be resold at a profit by anyone prepared to fork up the money in advance.

fafy

Thursday night:

4 acts listed now at Salty Dog for Thursday from 19:30, which is good, but no sign of the previously announced Comedy event at Hazelwood on the EP App schedule, work in progress i suppose.

Actually, nothing at all on App schedule for Hazelwood, and a few other areas missing also at the moment

Don't forget to come back for Kneecap after them though!!

Also clashfinder is incorrect, kneecap are down for Sunday but are playing Saturday.

I was there, was absolutely amazing. Everyone was there for PSB and enjoyed it so much

The Wailers during a heavy shower at ATN was a special moment. With a few drinks ingested and a good poncho you're laughing at any rain.

Are the Pogues’ tribute act playing this year? They were great craic at SD last year, but don’t think I’ve seen them announced anywhere.

I'd say you could nearly count on your hands the number making money exclusively from music. Just have to hope that the likes of We Cut Corners, Ships, etc who have other jobs outside the music continue to release good stuff when they can, and that a few more like Fontaines, etc can rise to the top and actually make money off the music too.

FFS people - go to gigs, buy some merch and pay for a bloody vinyl or all we'll have left is Gavin f*cking James!!!

:mad:

*rant over*

Well said - I couldn't agree more

Even the Foo's in Dublin last week in the rain actually added to the atmosphere

Didn't they sink the stage about 2 or 3 years ago?
