Electric Picnic 2017 **Discussion Only // No Ticket Sales**

looking forward to London Grammar. late enough that it will be dark on the main stage, and the Jenny Greene thing at the same time taking some of the crowd away.

I remember a boards user made a lightweight app that had all of the stag times last year, it would send a notification a little bit before your selections were playing to your phone.

Anyone remember this? It was much much better than the official app

I have no idea what times the hens and stags are starting ... probably best to avoid them though.

... on the timetable app... There is good news and bad news...

Good News: Android app is done and ready to roll .. it will be in the play store tomorrow evening.

Bad News: There will not be an iPhone version this year. I have tried to rebuild the one from 2015, but there are hundreds of errors due to changes in Swift language. There is no way I will get time to fix all those errors and get it through the Apple review process in time for the weekend ... Sorry about that .

The OV ones were announced on the app about 30 mins before hand, I remember one of the lads getting it for Nathenial Ratecliff.

Hi I just purchased an early entry pass this morning, this is my first time going, just wondering where on site or what entrance I go to to show my booking reference etc to get the pass at the festival. Thanks

You bought a ticket for the thursday yeah? You just enter through any of the entrances at EP after 4pm on thursday.

Can anybody recommend any good insoles that I could put in my runners to make the 20 mile walking around EP every day a bit more comfortable I was planning to wear the boots I wore to the last EP but can only find one of the pair. Havnt a notion where the other one is. Thanks

I got a pair of scholl insoles from boots they have a gel cushion, they're very comfy 😊 Boots do there own brand not sure what they're like though. Scholl insoles where €20.

From what I have seen, the weather will be decided by how much of that big, bastard block of rain makes it across the country. Hopefully the wesht breaks it up a bit.

Just to show how variable and low-confidence current forecasts are for next weekend, the earlier GFS run at 7am showed that heavy band of rain Saturday night due to low pressure interaction. The GFS 12z (aka 6 hours later at 1pm) shows the high pressure staying over Ireland and no rain at all all weekend.

The GFS runs every 6 hours, next one should start at 7pm I believe (and it takes a long time for the computer simulations to complete), and every day we get closer to the festival, the confidence level should go up and each run will become more similar to the last.

Cheers for the updates man. Keep us posted!

Yeah weather apps really volatile at the moment!!

YR had rain free on Sunday to 5mm of rain falling within 6 hours on Sunday, to back to no rain at the moment!

Fingers crossed !!
