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

The main natural amphitheatre at M&B really shouldn't go to waste. Where else am I going to emote-cry when Lamb play Gorecki ffs

Oh wow! This is great!

I better get into research mode now! For both this band and other acts. Better check that Spotify mix.

TCM TCM TCM TCM

Very very decent, think I'll be hanging around the woods a lot this year.

Very happy with that loads more than happy to see. The woods will be my home for a lot of the weekend

as long as they dont break the stage like in trailer park

Ah brilliant, sweating a bit on TCM, Cathy, God bless her, Powpig great in Jerry's tent last time out, Ham Sandwich, Gurriers, with @Da Neck of these parts, should be a good boards turn out for them...loads there. Is there anywhere that Thumper AREN'T playing? All good, they'll be great there. Dying to see what they mean by an enclosure. Hope there's a decent capacity. The woods are where it's at alright lads.

I was on the stage when it collapsed that time!

Thrilled, sure...

What a gig. Never spilled a drop when I hit the ground. A pro.

I'm just about to leave for another festival so there's no fear of that from this quarter.

Wow!!

Based off your other acts you might also like Khruangbin, if you haven’t already listened to them. Strains of ‘the war on drugs’ and ‘Michael Kiwanuka’

Always loved this one, and it would go down well at Salty Dog. Must add them to the Spotify playlist and see what else I can remember.

Heading to ALS this weekend. The most chill music fest in country

There are down sides;

•It’s an extra day off/away.

•€45.

• I like to ‘size up’ my tent neighbours, see what age they are, stay away from large groups etc. but chances are if you arrive Thursday, you will be first, so you don’t get to choose, they choose you (In eco I’m not too worried about this)

•I’d say majority that 3 day don’t shower, but if you head down Thursday, you can’t escape a shower at some point, you’ll be one smelly **** by Sunday night otherwise!!

•There was some issue in 2019 with everyone using the paintball entrance, but I’d be shocked if that wasn’t rectified this year!

but above aside I’d highly recommend it! For years I’ve gone on the Friday morning, packing Thursday night, not able to sleep, running around getting the last bits Friday morning, the excited drive down, grab some ‘on the go’ filling station muck food, carrying shite, tent erection, beer in hand straight off on an adrenaline fuelled bender, before I knew it I was in a heap Friday night, bed by 12/1, hazy night possibly missing out on some stuff, instead of it being a 3 day festival, it was effectively turned into a 2-day’er.

When you arrive Thursday;

• No hassle on the commute, you can pull over take your time, have that one last meal if you want.

• As you unpack the car, again no pressure, you’re not rushing for camping spots or to get into the arena. If you want to walk really slow with all your gear, so be it! You can take your time pitching the tent and getting to know the neighbours.

• Once you’re settled that’s it, have a few cans, bit of exploring, possibly salty dog, bed early enough.

• You wake up relatively fresh (hopefully) to the sound of people making their way in, you get to be a smug fcuker that watches the struggles of others while you nurse a breakfast can!

• That’s it you’re setup for the day and get to enjoy a full day Friday, easy to schedule in an early acts and not at the mercy of the commute/tent etc etc.
