Electric Picnic 2021 - Cancelled :( **No Ticket Sales / Requests **

Thundercats Ho

Pretty sure they sold out (for 2019), so you'll probably need to wait for them to announce the sale of returned tickets.

Does anyone have a similarly detailed site map from previous years?

There seems to be a few slight changes in layout. It looks like the route from Hendrix to the Main stage has been widened and cleared after the trouble with crushing last time.

The Main Stage barriers seem to have been upgraded a bit too. Not sure if that could take away from the quieter sets earlier on in the day.

Also, it looks like Pink Moon has been moved around a bit to move the Comedy Stage over.

Anyone notice anything else?

Looks like they've moved the funfair out of Hendrix to the back of the main stage arena. No toilets or bar up there either. That should help with the bottlenecks. Also if those grey things are the seating areas then there are now another two of them at either side of the main stage.

Electric Arena is moved to where Midfield and the Comedy tent were.
Comedy tent is now beside Rankins Wood Stage, and there is a bigger area/entrace from Pink Moon in between.
Looks like the Main stage area is wider and the food line to the left of it is longer.
Fun fair has moved closer to the main stage (Hopefully no inane funfair bleating sounds will bleed to the Main stage area).
Mindfield is now beside the Mind & Body area near Trenchtown and the arena entrance from Hendrix.
There's now a carousel close to Bacardi Bar.

Ah Christ, they can't move the funfair near Pink moon,there'll be a lot of unhappy middle aged and tired campers if they do.

Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan said today that we are now experiencing ‘near elimination’ of Covid-19 in the vaccinated population.

... its suddenly looking very positive. A lot can happen in 24 hours.

I may need to update an app sooner than I thought.

It's only a little bit closer, still the far side of the main arena, easier line of sight for snipers.

FYI - *if* this still goes ahead, I maintain my demand that those misery guts who wandered in here, telling us it was insane to think this could happen, like a kid revelling in the joy of telling others that Santa didn't exist, should hand their tickets over to those who struggled on, believing, as they have truly earned their attendance.

Feels a bit strange talking about lineups….but why not! Liam Gallagher & Idles rescheduled to play Belfast on the Friday so surely they’d nip down for the Saturday or Sunday?

Hmmm, just close enough to Guerrilla teenage kicking raid from the arena entrance to Pink moon.

My son and gang had tickets for Belfast on 30th June, (I did tell him if he wants to see Oasis see Noel but anyway……), pissed off that it’s now moved to EP weekend but expecting to see him at EP at least. He was hoping to see him twice, such an oasis fan I think he will faint with excitement when he comes on stage. Must remember to ring him and offer him free cold beer in minefield just as Liam walks on!

Could be on the ropes again, best case scenario for 20 somethings to be vaccinated is late September

Seems to be underestimating the pace of things a small bit. Surely it'll be a lot sooner than the start of August when 30 to 39 get their first jab? If the portal opens for that age group tomorrow that's nearly a six week wait? My brother in law is in his mid 40s, got his text and time an hour after registration, jab was about a week later.

Interesting article on the three day Download Pilot show, seems to be a lot riding on this one being a success it seems. Best of luck to them.

That’s a worst-case scenario surely? Downplaying expectations. Thirty somethings will be getting their second doses by end of July. Twenty somethings by mid-August at current rollout rates.

Does it really matter now at this stage? We have pretty much have everyone above 50 fully vaccinated, huge portion of risk removed and the ICU stats are really showing this improvement.
We are now talking about something similar to cold or flu.

This is going to continue on for years, new variants, new vaccines. This is the new norm

What about requiring proof of a negative PCR test, as would be required for a flight.

Present at the gate and walk on through.

Proof of full vaccinations also acceptable.

If not, antigen test and wait.

I don't understand the PCR test focus, have had two of them, you get a pdf to print, it would be an utter doddle to fake them on a large scale.

Unless there's validation of the test result with the supplier or attendees have to use a specified supplier who pass the names and results back then it's an bad joke of a validation process.

Or 'one time' QR code (scanned at the same point as ticket) that links back to a database of tests. But it gets complicated and huge risk in using a new system large scale!

Fully vaccinated as of 18/06/2021, no side effects thus far from Astrazeneca II: The Re-jaggening.
Now, I believe someone will have a warm pint of awful Heineken for me and some teenagers to boot up the hole?
Splendid!

With the age group on this thread we must be all either half vaccinated or full at this stage

Second vaccine eight days ago. All done, as are several younger gig-going pals lucky enough to get the J&J shot. Everyone over forty done by end of July unless there's a screw-up. That's a significant portion of the population and end of August is very close to (or beyond) the 80% herd immunity we crave.

People in their 20s will be fully vaccinated by the end of September - HSE https://jrnl.ie/5472784

*if* this is true, it bodes quite well for the E.P.

It should be earlier. They’re being cautious with predictions.
