Festival Republic face a big backlash over Finsbury Park gigs in London. Huge queues for the bar, toilets, water, and problems exiting the venue. They are facing a fair bit of criticism at the moment.

Won't apply to EP. It's the same layout it's been for years and it works exceptionally well.

Not sure I'd agree with that!

Massive Q's to get thorough security regularly and big Q's for the bars.

The bars dont bother me too much, but the Q to get into the arena really annoys me, especially when you want to drop in and out to salty dog etc.

Can't say that's ever been a huge issue for me, but there are other entrances. Also the bars have never been a problem, except maybe casa Bacardi.

Never had a problem with the bars, 5 mins is the most I’ve ever been waiting.

If that. I find it best to send the Mrs and then you don't wait at all.

Bjork and Prodigy would both be headline acts in the context of EP. You are not getting 3 headliners in a second announcement.

We'll know soon enough. I still reckon Bjork and Prodigy are very likely. Maybe even another headline act.

Way to not get carried away

Careful now. This is the type of post that could spark a "NERD ARE NOT MY HEADLINERS" meltdown.

Will be interesting to see who is announced from here.

I reckon they should have been teasing out the smaller stage ones if they're not doing a big main announcement over the last few weeks. I know Trenchtown is out there but they could have done food, comedy, etc and that way you don't end up with a few massive dumps and some acts potentially being lost in the midst of it all.

did they not do the food one already? thought I remember Rosanna Davison, or someone of that ilk, being announced?

Felix da Houscat , Joey Negro and Camelphat are the Headliners for Casa Bacardi

Electric Picnic have announced their bespoke Casa Bacardi Line Up, with an impressive array of artists due to take to the stage over the iconic weekender in Stradbally House.
The stage will see artists like Joey Negro, Felix Da Housecat and CamelPhat to name but a few take to the decks with hard hitting festival acts and DJs Nialler9, CiCi and Boots & Kats supporting throughout the weekend.

Percussive and tribal house DJ, Melé, headlines the opening night of CASA BACARDÍ on Friday, August 31. Saturday’s line-up will see Felix Da Housecat headlining, renowned for his an eclectic mix of sounds from resolute acid and techno warrior, to avant-garde electro and disco.
Guaranteeing dance-floor dominance and capping off the CASA BACARDÍ line up on Sunday evening is disco and house master, Joey Negro, entertaining the Stradbally crowd with his rare disco cuts and classic house and deep cuts.

I think it usually comes around the start of July, but usually we have the second announcement by now!
