Electric Picnic 2024 **No Ticket Sales / Requests** - Waiting in line, terrible time, over familiar

People were apparently waving print outs and using them for mutiple vehicles

I’d say the reckon that no one is going to drive a camper an down without proper ticket

And again who Melvin thinks is special might not be special for people’s on here.

Hear hear.

Some gems, mostly cabbage

Seconded, an awful band I think. Rick Astley at the SD played a cover of one of their tracks that I seemed to be the only person not to recognise. I can’t grasp any of their stuff, it all seems so tuneless, mundane and repetitive. Akin for me to a Dermot Kennedy or Niall Horan booking.

Foo Fighters have a few great songs. Excellent live. Dave Grohl has that special something that gets the crowd going. His banter is hilarious also.

Might be a chance of LCD to keep the older crowd happy? I think they'll be around this part of the world next summer. Might also be a chance for them for ATN if they could afford them, and Murphy did a DJ set there this year...

I’d love that. I’d have thought that they’d be too expensive for ATN, their costs for personnel and equipment alone pushing them closer to the €1m mark than €500k. FR may not see them as having sufficient pulling power to outlay that much. I think Malahide their last gig here in 2016. Long overdue a return.

Also given its the 20th anniversary and all, LCD have quite the history with EP, assume FR will actually care about such a thing. I badly need to see them again though! That extra 5k attendees would easily cover LCDs cost aswell 😃

Just bumping this, I've been onto Ticketmaster and they've passed me onto FR who threw me back onto Ticketmaster. They said they 'might' be removed but I won't be able to find out when...

Trance can f*ck off to be quite honest. There's Transmission for that all weekend.

Not sure another evening of house music is required when there's already so much of it around all weekend.

Job one would be to have Terminus properly used. The only time I've seen it full was in the first year for Amilie Lens.

It lies empty for most of the weekend.

Haven't seen the questionnaire, but I guess they are using sample names to profile the audience, rather than book those guests. Who knows, maybe they'll feed it all to an AI engine with access to band availability and the AI engine will curate 2024 ;)

You have any demographic figures for those shows or just anecdotal feelings? You’ve historically given entirely wrong figures for UK and Irish festival attendance and seemed to lack a statistical grasp on the demographics of festivals until provided with such information.

LCD sold out Malahide on their last visit and can fill an EP headline slot with ease as they have twice before. Eight visits to the fest by Murphy and Mahoney in some or other guise, more of a history there than any act since the fest’s inception and FR would be negligent to disregard that.

Their fee according to their booking agency is between $1m and $1.5m (€930k to €1.4m). ATN have no possibility whatsoever of affording that.

I was at those shows. I can see with my own eyes who is attending those acts.

i haven’t given wrong attendance figures for anything. I’ve either given the figures from planning applications or from media reports.

i have a solid grasp of who attends festivals as I’ve been to pretty much all European festivals on multiple occasions.

you have given wrong information in this post about LCD booking fee.

you’ve posted a fake number from a scam website who don’t even represent Lcd soundsystem. So you have zero credibility.

UTA represent lcd in America and WME represent them everywhere else. Neither of these would publicly disclose the booking fee for an act and if you a knew about festival bookings or even concert bookings there is not a set fee. Festivals submit offers to the respective agents and there is then discussions about it including availability, routing, package deals etc.

LCD fee is not between €1m and €1.5m. Malahide wouldn’t have been feasible at that fee. 20,000 x €70 = €1.4m.

lcd soundsystem fee for malahide would of been in the €300,000 - €400,000 range.

this is within the range of ATN as they have paid that for Nick Cave in recent years.

To me he's always been an incredible drummer but a painfully mediocre singer songwriter, have to give them props for their longevity though.

Tame Impala?

Yep I remember it. Can't remember the exact details but it seemed familiar.

Calm it down please folks, no need for all the posturing. Some here might think they know more than others, but really we all know shag all, it's just speculation. Personally I'd love to see LCD in Ireland and again and frankly couldn't give two fcuks about how much FR will have to pay for them.
