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

And The Prodigy putting on a great show covering their entire highlights across 34 years! Sky Arts could do with rethinking the highlights format for the main stage headliners and just do it live or slightly delay but in full like BBC with Glastonbury. At least it just 6 weeks until The Prodigy leave us breathless in Ireland!

We did the early entry in 2022 and didn't think it was worth it, the Eco campsite just seemed to be full of people pitching tents to head off home and come back on the Friday. There was hardly anything open and not much happening so we headed into one of the bars in Stradbally.

Yes and by the time you add the ticketbastard booking fee it’s pretty steep too.
Glasto is free entry with reg ticket from Monday Wednesday onwards, the entire site is pretty much open but certain bits like stages are still being worked on are fenced off.

EP there’s lots to do on Thursday, Anachronica, Trenchtown, Survivor stage, Salty dog to name but a few.
BUT they’re extremely disorganised, horrendous communication between security, works crew and stage managers. There’s no set opening time to get into these locations (usually after 8) you must be patient with a mixture of craftiness, security will send you around to opposite gates to fob you off, often I’ve found all the gates in from the campsites are closed but you can hear music and see people watching the acts. We ended up taking an unofficial/unlit route through the forest paths last year.

I know it seems like everyone setups and leaves, but I think this is a very small minority.

Yes my error, you’re correct opens Wednesday not Monday.

Been once in 2014, but that was after many many years of trying! I’ve tried for tickets several times since, but no joy! Don’t understand how someone can get tickets year after year!!
2014 was difficult torrential rain + thunder on the Friday sent the place into sh1t, weather was bliss aside from that, I came back home with a tan as if I’d been in Spain for a week.

Absolutely loved the place, I’d done tons of research on each stage and area, but mind was blown with the scale and just how well run everything was!!

Yeah, it was a bit of a shambles the Thursday we were there with loads of walking required to get anywhere!

When do we reckon the final announcement will be made? Can't be too far off now.....I know its the Hope that kills u but I'm quietly optimistic on it, there's a huge imbalance of indie/alternative acts which in fairness has always been there…take last year for example.....surely this has to be rectified in the last announcement? No? Coronas and gavin it is then

In lieu of any sort of lineup announcements, three points to note in the planning doc.

1: Disposable vapes prohibited (Again) Despite the fact they were selling them in the arena last year.

2: Theres reference to a “change in layout” not sure what this, likely campervan site change?

3: Proposal to have bar/ off-licence in the camp sites. I Hope there isn’t a tightening or change to booze into campsite!!

Definitely not, you'll need a family campervan pass, which are like gold dust

EP sized hole in Groove Armadas schedule #justsaying

Grim.

#whopissedonurcornflakes 😋 can’t a man dream!!

Are we expecting just one more major announcement this year? I'm surprised too that only Mother has been announced yet as the festival is two weeks earlier and usually anyway by this time of year from memory they'd have started announcing the likes of Trenchtown, Trailer Park, Casa Bacardi (which I assume will be replaced) and other areas announced by now/ around now. Would be nice to have something to look forward to.
