Electric Picnic 2023 **No Ticket Sales / Requests ** - It'll be grand

Some questions, not been since 2018. Is there a premium toilet thing still there? Last time there was and unfortunately I suffer with IBS now so bowels can be dodgy in the morning.

are there metal detectors for bags? Have a small bottle of paco robanne phantom aftershave so I don’t smell like death but it’s in a metally plasticy type robot, not glass. Chances of that being taken?

TCM on twice, playing all of The Queen is Dead at the Survivor stage at 6.15 on Sat. Half the set clashes with a certain Johnny Marr so expect them to fly through it and finish 45 mins early.

Meet up looks like Pet Sounds.

Nice one!

There's no sign of any times yet for most of the small stages they announced for Freetown like Six Bars, correct?

Donal Dineen is on there at some point I think but no idea when!

Nothing yet but have started to do other stages so hopefully all there tomorrow

Kila not playing, just two of the band.

They've really toploaded all the decent acts on Friday!!.....scrolling through the schedule from the start of Saturday up to the evening time, struggling to find anything I'd like to go to....wander time methinks

Despite all my bitching, there's a lot to see.

Yeah not the big acts that Ive likely seen before and would want to see again.

But I reckon I'm gonna embrace new things.

Bit of Reggae, bit of Havana bit of art pop and a whole lot of new bands I haven't seen live and a couple of decent known bands.

Only time I'm checking out the main stage is for the Killers.

I expect big things for 2024 though.

And the choice/diversity blows ATN out of the water.

Does anyone know how it works buying a pink moon pitched tent off someone. Website states "Accommodation bookings MAY NOT TO BE RE-SOLD / SOLD ON OR PASSED ON TO A THIRD PERSON IN GRACE OR FAVOUR, without the written permission of Pink Moon Camping."

Was hoping to buy one off someone tomorrow.

Have seen elsewhere that if you contact pink moon they can change the name on the booking

I'll try that cheers.

Touch of rain Thursday morning, to stop by the time anyone is in! That’ll do nicely!

True, very flat last time, main stage didn’t work, same with Ash & ABC, both much better when they’d played previously in the tents.

And btw, when looking through recent setlists today I found out this was a cover. I’d never known, am I the only one?

Talk about mixed messaging 🥴

“Drug 'surrender bins' to be in operation again at Electric Picnic, gardaí warn no amnesty given”

If ATN was anything to go by, I’d advise anyone who might be dabbling this weekend to be extra vigilant. High presence Undercover Guards and sniffer dogs should be expected.

Asking for a friend here who's never been to EP. If they wanted to enjoy a joint or two across the weekend, does anyone have any tips on the safest way to go about it? Or quieter areas that might be suitable?
