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

One for the diaries, folks - the mighty bdrmm are in Ireland this November:

12th Nov - Dolan's, Limerick

13th Nov - The Workman's Club, Dublin

I'm fresh out of annual leave but a wee run to Limerick could be on the cards. Hmmm.

Any idea when the day line up is being announced?

Also at the Róisín in Galway on the 10th where I'll catch them. And it's closer for you dude, welcome here.

great recommendation will have to seek them out

EP 2014 started 29 August, so that would have been the Monday before, or 4 days before start.

Given the way they announce things in 2022, I wouldn't expect it sooner than Monday for this year.

Any chance you know the general location of Fishtown? My mate is DJ'ing the Schweppes setup (which appears to be at entrance of Mind + Body) 3-5 on Friday and Fishtown 5-6. He's worried about a long trek to set #2.

The terms & conditions of entry only specify a ticket holding adult.

15. Children aged 12 years and under must be accompanied at all times by a ticket holding adult, limited to a maximum of two children per adult. 

The family campsite information section on the website states "To stay in the Family Campsite, you will need to purchase a Family Camping Ticket." This suggests that the purpose of the Family camping ticket is to get into that campsite rather than being needed to get under 12's into the festival.

The announcement for Little Picnic states, "Little Picnic is open to anyone attending Electric Picnic with children. If you don’t have a Family Camping wristband, Little Picnic wristbands are available to pick up onsite." This suggests that they are expecting people who don't have family camping wristbands to show up with children.

The last BYEco email said "We welcome families and children of all ages in our campsites".

I'd take all of these points to mean you should be fine bringing an under 12 to the festival on a regular weekend ticket.

Where's the Barefoot stage? I can't see it on that.

The 2021 map shows it as under 350 metres. There's a "Woods + Town Access" marked beside the cup deposit return point which makes the walk a straight line. If that entrance isn't there the main service trackway could be used. This puts a slight curve on the walk so might extend the distance to 500 metres.

My must see and want to see list has 39 acts on it, around half of which I had never heard of before EP.

God I missed festivals, been a long three years! Roll on next weekend

Yeah I just meant that we could stay overnight in Limerick for that show as it's a Saturday, couldn't do the Sunday overnight in Dublin although that's definitely more drivable I guess. Last time I drove to Galway was for my mate's stag and, wow, less said 😂

I always used to check stage times and worry about clashes etc, but in the age of apps, I now just favourite all the bands i'd like to see.

That way you get a notification 15 minutes before each one is due to start, and I just tend to decide on what I fancy at that time. That process slots in nicely to my go with the flow policy for EP.

Is that all the stages announced then, still holding out for the Mary Wallopers, like someone else mentioned, they might be one of the surprise guests at the Salty Dog.
