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

Seems Primal Scream have finished up a couple of weeks back, which is a shame.

Supergrass doing the Taylor Hawkins tribute show in Wembley Saturday.

Wet Leg in the States. 😐️

James at a UK festival week before EP, then in Spain 10 days after. A strong contender surely!

The Stunning, Something Happens and Mundy been doing dates together, could be added as three acts to EP.

Others that seem to have a gap EP weekend: Hot Chip, Jake Bugg, Kings of Leon, Dry Cleaning, The Magnetic Fields, First Aid Kit, Inhaler (who seem to be supporting Arctic Monkeys everywhere).

That concludes my rabbit-holing.

Not long now, surprise me EP.

My little tired heart hopes for pillow queens, Jesse ware, caribou, something happens, Krystal klear and Neil flynn…oh and of course chic!

I think she's great as pop goes, cracking tunes, beats Gavin James or whatever's coming, but each to their own... besides at this point she's a bigger act that all our headliners put together!

Wishlist:

The James, W. H. Lung, bdrmm, Working Men's Club, Confidence Man, Therapy?, Freeflow in Freetown, Literally any jungle/DnB DJ for Trenchtown

Thundercats Ho · 12-08-2022 8:33am

Good luck today boys and girls.

I hope Santy brings you what you want.

Do they drop the line-up at 9am, to coincide with the ATN main ticket sale as part of the ever escalating bullshit marketing wars?

Genghis · 12-08-2022 8:47am

How I see today going:

Go to: https://www.electricpicnic.ie/news/
Press F5
Repeat

I am assuming it will be announced there first?

rubick · 12-08-2022 8:49am

Oh it'll probably be released via a QR code that links to a Tik-Toc Gleep Glorp or whatever.

Duck, last night I contacted EP especially for you, and told them they need to get their finger out and add ‘just mustard’ and also get them on the lineup poster for morning time! They agreed so you owe me a pint 😜

Blackie_IRL · 12-08-2022 9:03am

Have EP actually said they are releasing lineup today or are we basing this on that article in the Leinster newspaper from last week?

Email was sent out apparently

Blackie_IRL · 12-08-2022 9:05am

Anyway, if there is another announcement I'm gonna guess that Foals is the big headline act

Thundercats Ho · 12-08-2022 9:07am

This is what was sent through the mailing list, so today's the day alright.

Would love to see ConMan again and they said surprise for EI/UK fans coming. . . but they're in middle of AUS tour.

"The James" ??

tut tut

glennponder · 12-08-2022 9:33am

I still think there is a big headliner to be announced, Friday night and Sat is pretty weak.....that said I would also love one of james, suede or supergrass....all 3 even better.....have a horrible feeling we're getting Lewis capaldi and Sam fender though

A term of endearment only permitted to James' inner circle, of which Rubick is one. Obvs.

rubick · 12-08-2022 9:42am

It just saves the inevitable "James who?" query.

Wearing my latest t-shirt, the All The Colours Of You daisy in black.

Every little helps.

crl84 · 12-08-2022 9:44am

Hopefully they release the day breakdown in this "big announcement".

In between their customer two Dermot Kennedy songs per hour, Today FM played Lewis Capaldi during the week, and I had the same fear. I daren't look up his availability.

Then on the other hand he will draw a huge crowd away from all other events in the slot, which suits me.

He's at the O2 in London Thursday 1st and Friday 2nd. Hopefully that rules him out, but he's a young man.

FionnK86 · 12-08-2022 9:49am

Can anyone see issue with my itinerary for Friday?

Leave Dublin at 7:30
Arrive Red Car Park at 9.
Pitch in Janis Joplin about 10.
Save space for mates by spreading tents out a bit.
When friends arrive about 12, push tents in.

Am I being too optimistic about space? Sorry for distracting away from chat about who's being announced today!

Been quite a few years since we arrived on the Friday, but can you pick a car park? We're always directed to Green (or whatever the Paintball Entrance one is) on Thursdays - do they fill that then open Red or can you actually choose? Aside from that, Joplin should be grand to save space in. We used to have a squad from Derry with us so it was a challenge to save space for them in Hendrix but those days are looong gone for us.
