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

Looking forward to this.

There'll be some changes made to that clashfinder between now and the end of the month. Whoever did it has populated the stage splits into last year's stage times.

I read a comment elsewhere that suggests The **** are unlikely to be playing first on the folly so that's one change.

I've avoiding doing much EP research but I'm about to reach the end of the EOTR playlist so I might have to start shortly.

They're going to need to contact Simon Cowell and get him to restart XFactor to drum up some acts to fill out the lineup for 2025!

Am honestly shocked the usual lowest common denominator acts like The Script, Coronas, Gavin James, Nathan Carter, etc. weren't added. But just as I thought it couldn't get any worse they find a even lower common denominator with Hermitage Green Green, Saw Doctors, etc. It's embarrassing, if it wasn't was for the Smirnoff surprise announcement along with Nas, Faithless and Kasabian I'd find it hard to justify going personally, and there's plenty of music fans attending not into those either. The Mary Wallopers decent but have seen them I'd say 12 times before and TPM even more, 2 or 3 somewhat decent Irish acts added there is all. Am still looking forward to it but feel it may be my last year now, but will enjoy it while I can.

Am concerned about camping too, last year they had to open an overflow campsite as it was so full and this year it looks even smaller? The silver/boutique has been moved from the other side of the road where Chaplin was, hopefully the other campsites have gotten much bigger but were dreadfully cramped the past 2 years. Also expect much longer walks than usual too from the red car park to the campsites, would hate to be walking from Red Car Park F to anywhere.

Calvin Harris, apparently.

Remember folks, all is not lost, everything being lost quite some time ago. So really we're about even.

From a certain point of view.

Have spent more and more time at the smaller stages over the years. Will be a lot of time there this year, some good acts, however the main arena is very poor for such a big festival in terms of well known artists from different genres. Some there for me Kasabian, Faithless, Stranglers, Nas (maybe) but not what it used to be for me so feels likes time to part ways.

thats the shortcut entrance to the arena times, you can check in from 4pm Thursday and from 8am Friday to Sunday

Christ on a bicycle; mein gott. Glad I'm not going.

Ye cannae listen to 'too much' Smiths!! 😁

Melvin said it was for Calvin Harris primarily and Noah kahan

Haven't a lot of acts used EP as the final date of a European tour previously. Any chance moving the dates forward has screwed them a bit there?

A very lazy announcement with few repeats, welcome in the Mary Wallopers as missed them at ATN so will definitely catch them. I agree with @Penfailed that everyone should catch The Bonnevilles, they seriously rock for a twosome. DUG are worth checking a rusting country rock n roll band from Austin, Texas, they certainly rocked Puc Fada at Beyond the Pale.

Fair enough. It's just such a dramatic dip I was wondering if there was something else behind it.

Anyway, not a lot out of the new acts for me. I'll head to The Clockworks, and maybe The Saw Doctors.

The Moonlight Meadows information page now says Reception is open from 8am Friday, so that 2pm time which I also saw must have been a typo. Happy days!

Will we see you both at EP?

Having missed acts like Pearl Jam and others this summer, ive discovered FOMO isn't such a big thing. EP will pull some brilliant big acts over next couple of years, but im over that and wont be in line to get loyalty tickets unless next weekend blows my mind
