Yea I registered both of us. Just wondering if its better than being in Joplin[/quote

From looking at it last year I would say defo worth it, close to parking, loads of space between tents, clean and tidy, there's gonna be a tent where you can watch movies if you want, loowatt toilets for eco campers only, only thing is it's double the people this year so might be a bit tighter

Mr. Jukes is really growing on me. 9 piece band coming with him. He's going to be on people's highlights lists.

Its looks like there is going to be a Red Bull tent in the main arena, re-branded the Red Bull Soundome. https://www.redbull.com/ie-en/events/red-bull-soundome-at-electric-picnic

Anybody know if the family camping is open Thursday evening too my 2 guys love the camping as much as the festival

Stillill42 · 19-08-2017 06:35PM

Touts on at 2.30 on Saturday in the Cosby. That's some way to kick start your Saturday lads.

That's brilliant

These charming men at 7 on the Salty Dog on the Saturday. Pity, bound to be clashes there. That Friday slot last year was perfect for them. I'll still be there, though.

Bag and camping mat out and airing. Checklist give over and just need beer and dioralyte. Manic two weeks ahead in work so aiming to have all prepped and car ready by Tuesday

Watching an Electric Picnic channel on YouTube. Nice! Never really knew Interpol. Sound good. London Grammar on now. Ethereal.

Any sign of a gin bar 🍸

I too am in the midst of manic work... I am packing the car next weekend, driving the Mrs car to work from Monday week, leaving work at 4 on Thursday, home, dinner, 4 or 5 pints, bed for 10, up at 5am, on the road, Stradbally for 8, tent up for 10, can open and here's hoping I see some boobs!

On a serious note, if anyone happened across The Clarke Family Project in Trailer Park last year, I have good news, they are playing this year also. I highly recommend them for some early evening listening. There is also beer and food there... no boobs though.

Putting gin in a woman, is like putting diesel into a petrol car... sooner or later she's gonna break down.

Where you getting the times?
And that's bound to be a clash, probably Madness.

mgkelly · 19-08-2017 09:00PM

Young Fathers! Forgot about these lads! Look good. Important to do one's revision before the festival!

bodhrandude · 19-08-2017 09:07PM

So is the Tribe Called Quest gig still on, didn't someone mention earlier they cancelled a gig in August due to grief over the death of Phife Dawg. Just listening to We Got it from Here, I hope they don't cancel EP I'm loving that record.

Madness later than that I reckon. Pretenders more likely. Hope neither as I'd love to see the TCM gig.

Twitter for Touts and website for These Charming Men. Yeah, clashes are inevitable that time Saturday.

Pretenders site says Friday for Stradbally.

Touts, Japandroids and Madness Saturday. Sweet.

Bears Den and Aaron Lee Tasjan on Sunday. Not so sweet.

Unless its absolutely chucking it down, and the ground is cut to bits I generally try to avoid Wellies. Even last year despite the drizzle I was in a pair of runners all weekend. Apart from some isolated bad spots the ground was in good shape.
In saying that I wouldn't dream of not having Wellies just in case.

Drizzle? Isolated bad spots?? Were you at the same festival as me?!

When 5 of us travelled down in 2 cars this bad boy brought the tents chairs and trays of beer in. This hand truck and a roll of duct tape is a winner. After 8 or 9 picnics a wheel came off last year. Buying a new one tomorrow. http://www.woodies.ie/master-sacktruck-with-pneumatic-wheels-250-kg-capacity-363759

The main arena has generally held up well. Only one year the ground has cut up badly (2010?) when there was rain for weeks beforehand and the soil was waterlogged before anyone arrived. The organisers shut down the route from the EA to the main stage as it was so muddy. And yet the site was still much more bearable than any Glastonbury with rain. The soil so much better than there & we're generally going to be ok at the site unless the rain is relentless between now & Sept 1.

everlast75 · 20-08-2017 07:28AM

Eh... **** off lads talking about rain.

It's gonna be tropic!!!!
