Electric Picnic lineup...what do you think? - Page 12

Theyve been steadily more and more quiet over the years. Back when the festival launched they were very interactive with information and the like. These days you generally dont find anything out till the week before.

On a side note from the line up, which is fine for me. Does anyone reccomend bringing walkie talkies to Picnic. As phones can be useless, but good range walkie talkie could be better?

Yeah I agree, not many emails at all this year.
Every other year there would be phonecalls and emails flying between myself and my friends everytime a new email was received

The comedy tent line-up is up on the website. I could be wrong, but they never sent out an email saying the comedy line-up was announced...did they?

What time is it?
It's DOD time!

Yep, David O'Doherty is back in the comedy tent this year

No, I don't think they did sent out a comedy line-up mail. I agree that the EP crowd is DEFINITELY more quiet this year than ever before, not to mention the line-up is most definitely the lowest profile (not including the first year - I wasn't at that). I expected to be hearing of a few pretty impressive acts in the last couple of weeks (like other years), but nothing.

Have they forgotten us?

Hey, wasnt Babba Maal on the original line up? I dont see his name on the day schedule on the website. Anyone know what the story is?

Lainabaina · 15-08-2008, 11:40

A site map AND a comedy line up including the DOD?? I think we'd all be better off passing on info here than waiting for emails, they've been very quiet indeed.

Along with Blitzen Trapper, The Constantines, and The Waterboys whove all dropped off the lineup without any announcement from the promoters. The Waterboys announced on their website that it was due to the promoters "renegotiating" their contract at a lower rate that wasnt economically viable for them to perform at.

Number 7. The Dance village is in an odd spot...
