I only caught them near the end due to clashes, but that was a belter. Had never heard it before and it was on repeat in the car on the way home.
Thought Le Galaxie were excellent, it looked like things were going to go awry when their choreographed opening came undone due to the keyboard not working and Michael Pope slamming his faulty mic down and screaming the sound desk, but it all worked out after. Was really impressed by Otherkin at 4pm, made the most of that slot. Interpol were clinical but I like that about them tbf. Wouldn't be a huge fan of Fr John Misty but the second half of his set was exceptional.
Was torn between Kiasmos, Pond and Soulwax last night, went to a bit of Kiasmos but it looks like I would have enjoyed Soulwax more.
London Grammar should have been in the Electric Arena, I think the intimacy of their music gets lost on the main stage.
Don't think I can hack camping in the mainsite anymore, we were surrounded by cokeheads roaring all-night monologues.

Friday
Young fathers - really good
Vince Staples - didnt get it - reminded me of Kanye at Glasto
The XX - grand ,
Bicep - really enjoyed them even though only knew Just and a couple of others
Otherkin - excellent
After that chaos ensued at Trenchtown and Rave in Woods, then magically you wake up in a tent the next morning
Saturday
After some breakfast beers
Touts - effing amazing - short sharp punk songs
Strypes - good
Otherkin - brilliant - any gig that you have the leader singer standing on top of you has gotta be good ?
Bold Motel - saw Outsiders - R&b not my thing but enjoyed my brief stay there
Madness - very good , they still got it
Everything everything, very well received, surprised me tbh as not a fan
These charming men - absolutely fantastic smiths cover band
All Tvvins - took a while to get going - always watchable
Frank & Walters - excellent
Japandroids - sounded good - only there for a couple of songs
A tRibe Called Quest - very good - more lively than expected - rain really arrived
Interpol - This was my disappointment of the weekend - especially as at that stage I was half drowned and decided to stay in and dry - Would have loved to left and gone to Pete Tong but just didnt - They looked to be a bit miffed - possibly the delayed start pissed them off - saw the drummer throwing a strop when called back for another couple at the end ? Anyone else think that ?
Saw a dj in a tent after Interpol- It think it was Clark - whoever it was he was not great but had 2 dancers who worked there socks off. They looked a bit freaky with long hair down in front of them - reminded me of the scary lady who crawls out of tv's in the ring
Slunk off to my tent wet but happy particularly with the start of the day
Sunday
Prymary Colours - brilliant tunes, brilliant outfits , scantily clad assistants - whats not to like ?!
Kila - very enjoyable
Fangclub - excellent - very early nirvana vibe off the songs to me,
King Kong Company - really good live performers and performance as always -got a huge crowd in to see them again
That was when I cut off to go home
saw loads of nibbles of other things when drifting about, got to wander around all the Global Green area and stuff like that on Sunday morning - very enjoyable
I also thought the vibe was great in general this year - better than last year for sure
I hope everyone elase had as good a time as I did, got home safe and I'll see you all soon on next years thread
I didnt get my code yet etc...:D:D:D
Looked like the Interpol drummer pulled a bit of strop but think he may have been joking because he drew a little smile after it. Thought Interpol were excellent but poor scheduling when the main act get delayed 30 mins going on.0 -

Possibly not in all cases. A friend paid for a pint of Heineken with a fifty euro note and a euro twenty in coin. The person behind the bar had to go ask someone what change to give
Had similar at the B&S bar, gave 20 note and 3.40 in change for 2 pints, totally confused person behind the bar, in fairness a lot of the bar staff were just volunteers with their wages going to Comhlamh.
And yes, better choice of beer would have been a very nice touch.0 -

I just saw this and i honestly do not know what they are screaming at or for..
http://www.irishexaminer.com/examviral/watch-doireann-garrihy-and-james-kavanagh-perform-at-electric-picnic-804432.html
am i just old? This guy is not doing anything at all.
I do not think he is even particularly good on the that hoverboard thing
They must be the same people that were giving the "Oooii oooii oooo" at Jenny Greene + RTE Orchestra.
All the same, great to see everyone enjoying themselves.
I forgot to mention earlier run the Jewels also had quite a powerful performance. I have never been a fan, but would definitely have a listen to them now.0 -
