If you've ever been to the Picnic before then you'd know they only do Sunday day tickets. And even that hasn't always been the case (it use to be weekend or nothing)

I have a simple question, as this year I want to see one act.

The band you want to see are playing on the Saturday at 1pm, main stage.

Teddington Cuddlesworth · 29-06-2016 12:16AM

Did my first EP last year, it was only a day ticket but loved it. Looking forward to a full weekend this year.

Herself, her sister, and I booked a 4 man yurt and not sure what to expect. The two of them are seasoned festival goers but this is the first time they'll be going that they don't have to set up a tent.

MadYaker · 29-06-2016 12:16AM

But the festival is totally sold out.

I go, I show up, I enjoy music. I do not look at days or times in advance. I have a simple question, as this year I want to see one act. If you cannot answer the question just move along. It's simple.

Check the bands website, they may have the date listed (some do).
Then look at toutless to see if there are tickets available for the Sunday if that's the day they are playing or the weekend if they're not playing on Sunday.

Do this closer to the time when prices have settled and more people are looking to sell.

That's the best you're going to get.

Next!

Band have the entire weekend listed, I'm not thick, you're just a horrible bunch of unhelpful prats.

And above ^^ this festival is never really sold out, you can always get tickets.

Are you sure? You seem to be pretty thick.

BadTurtle · 29-06-2016 09:20AM

Mr Supervery is right we are a horrible bunch of unhelpful prats. shame on all of us.
Times not released til the week of the festival. We apologise for not being able to give more information than that YOUR MAJESTY. Is there anything else we can do for you YOUR MAJESTY?

scruff monkey · 29-06-2016 09:31AM

Lads, lets not give in to feeding trollish behaviour, there's going to be a lot of them in the run up.

29-06-2016 09:34AM

Back on topic....getting really excited about lcd soundsystem after all the Glastonbury reports

BadTurtle · 29-06-2016 10:25AM

Disappointed by them at Primavera. Mix of lack of energy in the performance and from the crowd.

Careful now.:P

Found them to be alright at Primavera. I've never been big into them though.
They were nice, good to nod along to.

No lad I'm not. I've gone to every picnic for the last 6 or 7 years and I've never gotten a ticket more than a week in advance. Genuine question, save your bull****e.

Do you expect to pay a premium or face value price? The reason i ask is that one of our crew needs a ticket and i'm wondering what the best strategy is to pick one up for him.

Daily check on Toutless is your best bet.

Judging by the Facebook page there seems to be a lot of 'worst lineup EVER!!' type comments so when Beyonce & Kanye are not named in the next announcement i'd imagine quite a few tickets will become available.

Keep an eye out on toutless.com

Rigor Mortis · 29-06-2016 01:21PM

Other voices have some additional announcement this week

i GUARANTEE you'll get a ticket the week of the festival below face value. just be patient and don't panic buy! i'm actually thinking of selling my ticket now and buying back under face value

Synode · 29-06-2016 03:35PM

I'd normally agree but I wouldn't be so sure this year georgiecasey. It sold out far, far earlier than the last number of years.

You might, but you'll have to be lucky. I don't think everyone that wants one will get one

Really? You'd want to get one far far cheaper than face value to be bothered surely. What's the point in dealing with all the hassle?

Speaking of which 65 days of Static would be a cool act to book.

That tilted song is great. And she has some serious moves

Getting lots of radio play these days, really like it. Had a look to see if she was playing EP but Longitude have her snapped up unfortunately. Has a few great songs.

Easy Rod · 29-06-2016 10:59PM

Jamie T has a new song - http://www.nme.com/news/jamie-t/94687

And from the sounds of things a new album.

Make it happen EP.

I stayed in the Festihuts last year which are in the same area as the yurts. Area is great with your own toilets and showers so your not queueing with the masses plus only people staying in the area can get in. You'll get a proper nights kip and the Yurts looked comfortable. We enjoyed the Festihuts so much we went from getting one last year to 3 this year with a bigger group coming. You won't regret paying the extra money

MadYaker · 30-06-2016 12:44AM

Watch / download before it dissapears LCD fans!

Edit: Just noticed Coldplay's fireworks going off in the background during All My Friends! I was too close to the stage to see them I think, or maybe I was too caught up in the moment.

Mince Pie · 30-06-2016 12:52AM

LCD Soundsystem at Glastonbury has to be one of THE best times I've ever had watching a band. The crowd were perfect. Properly incredible. Cannot wait to see them again at EP. Not sure it will live up to Sunday but wow.

What else was good over the weekend? ELO, Blossoms, Tame Impala, Mercury Rev, Christine & The Queens, Sigur Ros all looked great on TV.
