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

Sure how would any of us be watching the tv coverage when were at the festival? I've never seen it.

Well I tend to be still in festival mode up to the Tuesday after EP so I do watch it on the player if there are some decent highlights on it. The last semi decent one was 2015 with a bit of the Blur concert.

I'm just wondering what the RTE highlights of the Picnic are going to be, 40 minutes probably of Gavin James, the same of the Coronas, Picture this and a good chunk on B*Witched I bet ya and maybe 30 secs if we're lucky of Firestarter or Unfinished Sympathy. I think this RTE rubbish is shaping the way the lineup is going as you just know there is going to be so much tosh in this highlights programme. Give it to the guys that do No Disco or even Dave Fanning to give a broad representation of the music for the festival.

I think Dave Fanning would be a great choice. I actually met him at EP 2 years ago. He was standing in front of me at a bar and I heard that unmistakable voice. He's a very nice man, had a good chat with him about music.

Sportsdirect have lots of camping stuff on sale at the moment, a variety of tents from small to huge. I think Gelert is one of the brands I saw on there.

Not able to leave until 2pm on the Friday this year from Dublin. Have never left that late before, what is going to be the best route? Need to get to Pink Moon...

Has anyone listened to versatile? They are a bit different lol

They are hillarious hard to know if they are a comedy act. Don't think I'll go see them heard they sold out the Olympia in a few hours so will be fairly popular.

Can anyone please recommend a non-gas camping stove? I'd like something we can use for heating up water for washing or making coffee, not thinking of doing any cooking.

Non-gas? Excuse my ignorance, but how else would you get it to work. I know electric is a possibility but you'd need one helluva long extension lead!

I saw people there last year using a stove that used a flammable gel for heat rather than gas. Gas canisters are one of the items which are not allowed to be brought to EP.

Le Galaxie - The Frank and Walters - Mick Flannery - C.C. Brez - The Minutes – Loah - Engine Alley Jack O’Rourke - Murder Capital - Bitch Falcon - David Keenan - Warsaw Radio – Spellbound
Wood Burning Savages - Pontious Pilot and The Naildrivers - Ceili AllStars - Everything Shook Silverbacks - House of Yoga - The 2 Johnnies plus very special surprise guests.

Also introducing “Sideshow Disco” from midnight to 4am with Mother Club DJs, Get Down Edits, Eddie Kay, Colin Perkins, The Kilo 1977, Warriors of The Dystotheque and much more

Absolutely delighted with that. Anyone who were at Engine Alley two years ago will tell you that was a great gig, unfortunately in front a small crowd.
