Electric Picnic 2022 - Here we go again! - **No Ticket Sales / Requests **

Pocket post. I could give 5 or 6 reasons YNot from the headliners alone.

Hey @FR_Dublin just wondering when there will be an inkling of an announcement, will the slimmed down Friday now become the slimmed down Thursday and that we will have a fuller Friday schedule. We need a hint to gets us through the backend of winter. Bring it on 😆😆

Dry Cleaning magnificent, though to be fair, just being at a packed gig at the moment is magnificent. I'm easily pleased at the minute. Band looked like they were loving it which always helps. Great to meet Seath and the ridiculously lovely Rubick and Desk Tidy again. Keep those gigs coming. If I'm this happy on a dirty Tuesday in February, what'll I be like at Trailer Park on a balmy Friday in September???! The mind boggles.

Ah Fourmations! Was that you just beside me? There was certainly a guy just up from me that was very familiar. I've made a tit of myself too many times in the past with that sort of thing. Hope you enjoyed it.

World class performance from Dry Cleaning last night at the Button Factory! Fantastic atmosphere, great night all round. Must have just missed you @Seathrun66, caught up with @Stillill42 after the show - of course I can't just walk past a merch stand, I'm only human!

Trying to edit this to remove a stray tag, weird UI on mobile from Boards.@Stiletto72

Love them, but I must admit I really didn't enjoy their 2018 set at EP simply because they took tens/hundreds of newspaper clips/headlines and flashed them up on screen behind them throughout, they seemed to be local/Irish headlines, "Bertie Ahern" "Mother and baby homes" really distracted me! I couldn't just not look! Like a TV in a pub!

I know it was "thought provoking" but ended up being a real buzz kill.

Anyone hear anything in the rumour mill yet?

I thought I recognised you from the Salty Dog group photo. You passed me near the bar and in the corridor as well but I wasn’t sure. I was standing at the back of the bar. My five foot nothing kid sister couldn’t see the band from anywhere else.

Spotted the actress playing the young Danish girl in Smother also. Her crew must have been the youngest there, the middle-aged well and truly represented at TBF.

I'm struggling to think of many of our major musicians living abroad. Almost all based here, bar Bob Geldof, Imelda May, Roisin Murphy. Am I leaving out someone?

Would be great to see Roisin Murphy back again, although she was in the Electric Arena last outing. With Sinead O'Connor likely not performing at ATN for obvious reasons this year, maybe a race between Waterford and Stradbally to see who books her first?

Just hoping on the Dry Cleaning chat. Happily got to see them on Tuesday night and it was a fantastic gig, with a decent if slightly similar support. Decent venue that. I copped Ailbhe Reddy at the end there.

Back on to the EP chat. They'd want to blow it out of the water with some really great acts i.e not Picture This.

I have to agree if you look at the headliners for 2019 they weren't great it has to be said, The Strokes were probably the only decent headliner out of the bunch, I know Hozier is hugely popular but for closing the main stage one of the nights was a crazy booking. Flo was just a plain lazy booking and the 1975, well I'll say no more. Saying that, in fairness there was a great undercard of acts with Jarvis, Marr, Ashcroft and a nice dash of electronica with Four Tet, Richie Hawtin and Amelie Lens.

Looking increasingly good for Tame Impala.

Very hard to take when we're all optimism and coming out the other side.

Nice to see Orbital are doing a few festivals in August too.
