according to rage against the machine website tickets will go on sale on the 13/2. I shouldn't expect Electric picnic to release tickets for the day rage against the machine will perform right?

Right

PTH2009

Hate this festival headliner stuff but suppose it's the most $$$ than a single headliner show

Bowlardo

This absolute bull**** . They should be playing their own gig

Berlin, krakow Czech are the only options

Wanderer78

Fcuk it anyway

This is bull**** to the highest degree.

They are playing near me (solo show) with RTJ in support but it looks like tickets will be about 135 euro after fees.

The Satanist

Well at the prices suggested, i wouldn’t have had any intention of going ... seen them up in Dublin previously ... unbelievable concert ... but I’ve too many essential things to pay for .... can’t explain those prices for a concert

It will be interesting concert I’m sure... most of the trendies who paid those Mad prices without knowing who is playing won’t have a fukin clue who RATM are

It's a full festival so it's pretty good value as opposed to a standalone gig. Us "trendies" are basically forced to buy the tickets early each year for the sake of the early bird prices as it sells out quickly. Yes it's a gamble but festival republic generally pull it out of the bag and throw out a lineup that (generally) has something for everyone.

I'm glad to say I do indeed have a fukin clue who RATM are, saw them at Oxegen many years ago and yeah I can't fukin wait to see them again!

No, I was referring to RATM alright.

A lot of ragin' against the festival machine in here.

just noticed that their tour poster (red one) is designed by Virgil Abloh.. owner of OFF WHITE who is also creative director of Luis Vuitton

The Nal

Its a great booking for and fit for EP. They're far better as a festival band. They play short sets so its a good burst of energy for the festival. Seen them a few times, only once not a festival and that was in the Point (O2 then) in 2010 and they were fairly crap. Other times I saw them were festivals and they were great.

The Satanist

Yeah well I saw them in the Tivoli in 1865 so I deserve a proper gig surrounded by people who know wtf is going on, knowimsayin?

That's a bit snobby. I think most people will be familiar with at least "that one song".
I saw them back at one of the Feiles in the early '90s. Thought I was going to die when I got stuck at the bottom of a pile-up. Great fun. First album was majestic, second was alright. No idea what happened after that. Settled down with a girl, and whatever political anger I had prior to that was bet out of me by herself - replaced with "spending my time thinking of more important relationship issues".

On the tickets issue, I think it's handy enough to get tickets closer to the time on Toutless etc.

Bless. Another festival bashing. No snob like a music snob, eh?

real music fans dont go to festivals don't ya know?

LoughNeagh2017

I don't know what people see in them, I don't think I would even go to the parish hall to see them. I do like rap mixing with rock but he doesn't sound like a very good rapper.

Del Griffith

Paris on the Tuesday seems like a standalone gig as well... sort of. The festival is Friday, Saturday, and then RATM on Tuesday.

Thanks for sharing, lets add them to the list of bands you do not like but insist on posting about.

The guy is a pain tbh... Every rock or metal gig thread he posts in just to let us know he doesn't like them, they are too hipster, they are sell outs or that he would travel to "the pale" to see them anyway etc...

We get it, he is too cool.

Does anyone know when exactly they'll be on sale? It says Thursday at 11 local time. Is that 11 in whatever country the gig is in?

Generally it's the local time zone of the show.

Did a quick google there+ I think they are the 1st band announced, so I assume they would be more bands of a "Rock" genre this year -which means the hipsters +influencer w@nks will be reselling their tickets on adverts soon enough!

I think your analysis is premature and a bit naive. Have you been to EP lately?
