Electric Picnic 2016 // **Discussion Only / NO Ticket Sales / Requests** //

For eg, these grabbed my attention yesterday, when listening to Nialler9s playlist.

I'm sure they're well known, but most are new to me anyway..

Electric Picnic and Coca-Cola are offering a reward for Picnickers who are willing to recycle their plastic bottles. For every bottle you bring to the Bottle Recycle Point located in the Main Arena, the Festival and Coca-Cola will gift you 10 cent. A full recycle bag will earn you 5! Ten full recycling bags will earn you 50!! At Electric Picnic, it pays to be green!
The Bottle Recycle Point will be open from 1pm until 9pm daily. A minimum of 10 items can be returned at any one time.

That's a good way of getting drink into the main arena. Hide a full bottle in a bag of empties.

Hopkins closed the tent, on from 11 to 12. I reckon you're right regarding Avery having an earlier slot. And if not I think we're relatively safe as I can't see LCD starting before 12, possibly 12.30 as they'll take a fair while to set up after Gallagher. LCD's set is only about 90 mins long so they could finish at 1.30/2.00am. Noel Gallagher from 10 to 11.30? Chic were 12.30 to 1.45, that could suit LCD.

Wasn't Paul Kakbrenner on after Jon Hopkins last year?

Very bad year line-up wise for me - in fact, it's the worst in memory. I will be reconsidering next year. Def. Shift in direction away from my tastes in music.

Definitely see:
LCD, New Order, Chemical bros, John Talabot, Sh**T robot (very poor return for ticket price!)

Probably see:
ABC
Toots
Broken social scene
SfA

Might also see:
New Jackson
Daniel Avery
Lemaitre
Pantha du Prince
Ezra Format

That's about it. Throw in a few clashes and didn't manage and that becomes an even shorter list.

Hope I'm surprised but expectation set low. Went through the nialler9 playlist last night and it was grim.

Anyway, fun will be had! But musically me and Ep look to be heading towards the big D-I-V-O-R-C-E

Nifty link here for those of you interested in playlists;

Also handy if you're looking to create a spotify playlist off an artists setlist:

That Daithi song is dreadful. Heard him perform it TodayFM or something with the vocalist, its just brutal.

In previous years you could bring in a 500ml bottle of water or a soft drink (with an unbroken seal) into main arena.
Not seeing anything about it this year
Saying only after 1 am

I just got my hands on a ticket today off a friend who had to cancel their EP plans.
Is it ok that her name is on the ticket,and it also does not state which campsite i am in.just says 'WEEKEND' on the ticket with 'camping included'.Does this mean I can camp anywhere in jimi hendrix/andy warhol campsite.

You're fine, the only campsites that aren't open to everyone are Pink Moon, Eco, Family. Everything else is first-come, first-pitch. Names don't matter on the tickets.

Here's the line up for the Just Eat retreat http://entertainment.ie/Electric-Picnic-2016/article/Just-Eat-Retreat-reveals-tasty-line-up-for-Electric-Picnic-including-Al-Doyle-LCD-Soundsystem/5882/384590.htm

might try time a food break with whenever Al Doyle is DJing there.

no care for the rest, the usual lazy house/disco DJ bookings.

Last time I ask this question I promise. Best way to access Green Carpark is to get on to the N80, so either junction 16 or coming in from the west through Portlaois, but the N80 approach to Stradbally guarantees green car park, because looking at the electric picnic parking plan they seem to be trying to herd all traffic from north west and southwest into the red zones.
