    Yes my definition of "skangers" is the little BITXX who punched me in the face at James Bay 2016 - I being a middle aged woman, totally sober - trying to enjoy the music whilst her and her non Socio Economic issues "Designer Tan/Clothes/Extensions and Drunken Drugged up friends" kept pushing us and standing on us (plenty of space around us at the time).

    So Skangers are those that ruin it for everyone else - why should their being off their tree destroy everyone else's fun...………….

    Agree with this, its the people who are there to get out of there mind (which i have no problem with). but do it with No regard for other people.

    Ah in fairness there aren't that many 'scumbags' at Electric Picnic still I wouldn't think, there are a few of course which is bound to happen with 50,000+ attending but I have rarely felt like someone is actively looking to start trouble. People pushing through crowds to get to the front or who have overdone it on drink/drugs there are plenty, but I wouldn't call these people scumbags!

    It is still nowhere near the crowd that used to turn up at Oxegen thankfully. Or maybe Pink Moon the last two years has sheltered me..

    I think there's a lot, but i don't think they ever leave the Hendrix campsite so don't affect anyone!

    Sure a fight can break out at any event no matter who is on stage. I worked with a guy who got into a fight at a Roxette gig, I still don't know how that could happen but it did.

    I was at Kendrick at Longitude in 2016 and can confirm that the only uncomfortable thing was pasty Irish ones rapping the n word. The crowd was grand. I wasn’t right up front though.

    Getting back to more pressing matters, did some digging and saw SEVDALIZA has Saturday listed on her Facebook. Really wary of clashing now.

    I am assuming these are all Roxette references, in which case you your knowledge concerns me (musical snob clearly).

    They are but only two were from memory and the third was pulled from everyhit.com when I went looking to pad it out. Not that it makes it any better but I do have a deep and abiding love for 80’s cheese.

    Saw her at Groove festival earlier in the summer and she was good craic (M People have a surprising amount of hits).

    Perfect act for that stage!

    she has a great voice for sure, and will be surprisingly popular no doubt on the day.

    Just not my cuppa at all

    Wish they would stop running ads. I don’t care anymore if they have some secret announcement because it’s all been dragged out too much.

    Going to crack up if I see that Made By Music/Maxi Jazz sponsored tweet by Three Ireland one more time.

    think that's the hot tubs or are they a legionnaires lolipop?

    Either way, few dead sheep and ponies will flavour it up, be grand.

    I wasn't there last year but they changed the access to the Soul Kids area in 2016 because of the lake swimming, you had to go all the way around the lake. Which was a pain in the hole because it was so muddy. Does anybody that stays in the family camping know if they changed it back last year?

    Also, did they fix the gravel track through the church/school(?) grounds
