Electric Picnic 2018 Discussion Only // No Ticket Sales [Part 1]

Guys, bought the early bird tickets and found a close family member is getting married, so i cant go.
Question, when do the tickets for this get sent out in the post? Could really do with trying to sell them and putting the money back on the cc, but not sure when the hard copies are out? If its not for another good few months i'll just suck it up.

Only option is to break up the marriage.

Why should you miss out on happiness?

Imagine he were to come to Ireland again! Saw him at Malahide Castle. One of my favourite gigs.
Assume too big for EP?

I'm not sure he is. His gigs don't generally sell out and on the occasions they do, they have been last minute sell outs. Malahide Castle wasnt full. RDS wasnt full

Feck yeah!

Wouldnt be a massive Neil Young fan (just dont know many of his songs bar the likes of the big singles) but that would be a great headliner for EP even though most people might give out.

Was really expecting at least The National, Nick Cave or Gorrilaz to top the bill with a Liam G slot but with them already doing their own shows im really stumped on who EP will get.

Would love QOTSA/Royal Blood/Weezer although wont get my hopes up.

I know they prob would be way to expensive but imagine getting Bon Jovi to do the Duran Duran slot??? They dont have the pulling power like they used

I think it was this year before I got my hard copy tickets for this years gig because I paid installments.

What kind of close family member would do that to you though?!

kg703 · 27-10-2017 08:04AM

Liam Gallagher has confirmed for Malahide Castle next year

kg703 · 27-10-2017 08:29AM

Jaysus, Tears for Fears with Alison Moyet and Morrissey also announced this morning....

bodhrandude · 27-10-2017 12:05PM

The Picnic will need to get an embargo in place to prevent other classic names been announced for city venues.

MadYaker · 27-10-2017 12:08PM

EP cancelled lads, not enough acts

Ah here. They'd all be amazing for EP. Well look, there's no hard and fast rules. I'm ruling nobody out just yet, gigs or no gigs.

ghostdancer · 27-10-2017 01:38PM

MCD are doing the Arcade Fire and Kendrick Lamar gigs in the 3Arena so expecting to see them headline EP if they're around Europe next summer.
QOTSA probably headlining R&L for Festival Republic the week before too.

bodhrandude · 27-10-2017 01:54PM

A new album now, a lot of comparisons say its more like The Knife, I reckon more a mix of the two.

BD, I'm beginning to suspect that you ARE Fever Ray.

Furious-Red · 27-10-2017 03:27PM

I could see Kendrick also headlining Reading/Leeds

Synode · 27-10-2017 06:35PM

LCD for Malahide Castle confirmed as well

Or condemn them to a life without it....

Furious-Red · 29-10-2017 07:27PM

Apparently N.E.R.D are set to return , they would be a great booking imo

Poorside · 01-11-2017 04:13PM

MBV are 100% releasing a new album next year according to Pitchfork, that's them on the list

Furious-Red · 01-11-2017 04:32PM

I presume Foals will be back on the road with a new album so maybe getting the bump up to headline next year?

kg703 · 02-11-2017 01:38PM

Gorrilaz confirmed for Malahide

Fatfrog · 03-11-2017 06:24PM

Seen London Grammar in Belfast last night..... and ****ing wow!!!!!! Completely blown away far better than their EP gig. Water front hall is small in capacity 2300 odd, but acoustically and visually it's a dream venue. I can't see them ever playing a venue of that size in future, really special last night

MadYaker · 03-11-2017 07:02PM

Yeah they are definitely best seen in an enclosed venue. I don't reckon we'll see them at picnic again for a while. Maybe potential future headliners??? Not sure really.

Furious-Red · 03-11-2017 09:19PM

How unreal would this be
