    Can people with a normal camping ticket pay the 60 quid extra for a VIP wristband?

    I stand corrected. VIP passes are included in boutique this year. I see that on their sites now. I think all those options are sold out at this stage.

    Whenever I used the boutique it was a case of turn up and ask for the VIP and some years it was included, some years not. It was down to EP organisers as to whether VIP was included and it was hit and miss.

    Think VIP was always included with boutique. Stayed in Podpads 2012 - VIP included, Festihuts 2013 and 2014 - VIP included. Not that it's anything to get too excited about.

    yep and the answer to the price question - as a loyal three customer you get to pay€100 extra for the same benefits Pink moon customers can buy for €60?

    probably works out much better as you're not paying €260 for a 2man tent or whatever the other ridiculous prices for Pink Moon are.

    An amusing article from the Guardian about festival horror stories.

    I just had a little look at the 2fm/Oxjam play the picnic competition. Some of these guys aren't bed, El Grey are actually pretty alright. But Just Mikey really kill it. I hope they get to the bigger stage or play some Dublin gigs soon. Loving this song:

    Was anyone watching the Hot Chip set from Lollapalooza, they done a cover of Springsteen's Dancing in the Dark and went into what sounded like LCD Soundsystem's All my Friends at the end of their set, really nice stuff.

    There is a few range of lagers, Heneiken, Coors, Paulener and I think Becks too, there will be Pimms probably, Prosecco and a few wine bars too. Apparently Orchard Thief is going to be there this year with cider too, there is the Bacardi bar and I think Red Bull has a bar where you can get Vodka too

    I assume the "craft" beer bar will be back too this year.

    Hello. I've been to electric picnic 5 or 6 times (though not in last couple of years). Any time I've been I have never once taken a shower.

    I'm a bit older now and I think I would like to shower this time! So, outside of boutique camping, what are the showering options at electric picnic?

    Hello. The showers are usually located in the Hendrix campsite just opposite the entrance the arena. They've been excellent the the last few years.

    About 20 individual showerheads separated by canvas dividers, warm water, little or no queues and they're free. I think they shut up shop at around 2pm each day though.

    Toyed with the idea of taking a shower Sunday last year, until I seen the queues!! Must have been half a mile long and wasn't moving too fast!
    Used my own alternative shower method back at the tent, which involved pouring water over a baby wipe, mixing up with soap standing in my boxers I was able to give my self a 'good oul clean'. To rince again I soaked a baby wipe, used that to take of the suds. Towel dry and boom it was pretty dam near a shower feeling!

    Can't beat a good whores bath!

    I'd love to shower but I can't get up that early and I don't queue too well 😀

    Rarely buy a pint at the festival usually a bottle of soft drink and tip my favourite spirit into it. It's less peeing an expense! Don't mind the odd pint for afternoon chilling though. Pretty sure Heineken owns most of those beers anyways. They own Tiger which is prob their version of a "craft beer"
