Scrolling through Instagram and thought this was something but it's s competition to get to play at the picnic. Best of luck to them anyway, saw Rachel Grace before, a great talent.

There’s a joke in there somewhere about having to do a competition to fill up the line up but I just don’t have it in me

I'm not going this year, and even I'm getting annoyed at their shenanigans!

It seems to get later and later each year.

EP has a shed load of goodwill with people and I believe they are doing their best to lose it.

Listen lads we have to Respect the Marketing hahaha sorry I can't even say it without laughing.

Aren't we the crew that regularly refer to the whingeing on EP's Facebook page? Hopefully they're not glancing over here this week. 😁

Maybe (probably) the 2nd announcement is really sh×t and they figured its better to have people giving out about the non announcements for a longer period of time than it is having people giving about the announced said sh×t acts for a shorter period of time....u get me?

I'm just going to stay blindly optimistic. that is all

The old Righteous Indignation market, very smart 😂

maybe everyone should ask for their money back, all at once of course, it would be interesting to see how they would react.

Good few tickets on toutless already. The place will be flooded with them in 2 weeks, as is always the case, and more so this year with the added capacity.

I was just about to say I don't know if it's the increased capacity or what but I don't think I have ever seen so many tickets floating around this close to the picnic

Thundercats Ho

I'd say it's the savvy ones getting shot of theirs before the usual glut of tickets drives the price down in a few weeks.

People bought tickets 3 years ago for this so their circumstances / tastes may well have changed.

The increased capacity will have an affect too.

I doubt that FR not giving 2 sh1ts about their paying customers would have such an effect on someone that they'd say fvck this, i'm selling. Especially this close to the festival, unless the next main announcement is rubbish of course.

Definitely never seen so many tickets floating around on twitter, ticketmaster, toutless, etc at this time of year. I would say it's a mixture of cancellation of some A-list headliners, the lineup being overall poor and no 2nd or 3rd announcement less than 4 weeks to the event. Realistically there's 2 maybe 3 headliners that would headline any festival elsewhere in Europe, adding one or two more won't do much unless they've someone really spectacular on it or if they add a few more really decent tier 2 or 3 announcements like they few there are. Here's hoping they'll get it right but it's crazy they've waited this long given how meh the original announcement was and given the 3 year wait, not a good sign for the future imo but increased capacity may be a part of it.

Watch them announce Radiohead and shut everyone up.

Do you remember when we said we didn't care if it was Gavin James, we'd just be so happy to be back?

Well some of us did.

OK, it was me.

I don't want it to be Gavin James.

That's just a load of names from the 2020 line up that never happened.

This was raised last week i think, but seems to be the 2020 line up

A random question on behalf of someone else folks: to anyone who has brought a baby to pink moon before, does the baby need a wristband? Friend is going with her baby and two others. Staying in a 4 man in pink moon. 3 adults and one baby, but another mate who's not staying in pink moon was wondering if he could use their 4th wristband to hang around with all of us during the day.

patch

Are those not on the prohibited items list?

They should be. I'd have to question the logic of bringing a baby to a festival. For many obvious reasons.

(sorry I'm no help with the actual question)
