Nah its a press launch, few people get invited. It'll be up on twitter as soon as the journo's are in there

Do we know for sure that this line up will be announced as well as the EP lineup?

This was the email that went out last week:

Join us at Urban Plant Life on Wednesday morning at 11.15am for the reveal of this year’s Electric Picnic line-up. Festival Director Melvin Benn of Festival Republic will be on hand for soundbytes and questions. With Electric Picnic now fully sold out he will also announce initial details of a brand new festival taking place this summer. The stunning location of this new festival – brought to you by the Electric Picnic family - has never before been used and will provide the perfect backdrop to a new event on the summer festival calendar.

Is it soundbytes? I always thought 'soundbites'?

Interesting they say the new site has never been used before when Rossborough has hosted so many events, including festivals before.

It still could be west coast somewhere, not convinced it's Rosseborougb.

Did FR run Kaleidoscope in the UK? If yes, then it is Blessington.

It was listed on the Rossborough house site though... Sure we will know in a few

Don't think so but it's not happening in UK this summer apparently if that means anything.

PabloAndRoy · 13-03-2019 12:39PM

Is there no announcement of this then?

Not just yet but maybe they're waiting a bit?

New festival is Freetown, part of the picnic itself. Basically another stage with dance and electronica

Wasn't it announced as a new festival altogether? That doesn't sound right

bodhrandude · 13-03-2019 12:47PM

Sounds like the dance area like at Glastonbury.

That makes no sense in the context of the press release

maximoose · 13-03-2019 01:01PM

Yeah all a bit bizarre if that's it.

Eod100 · 13-03-2019 01:15PM

The way Melvin described it when I asked him was that Freetown is a whole new town within the festival in the area that used to be the Oscar Wilde campsite. It will be anchored by Terminus, a brand new 8000 capacity stage for electronica and dance. There will also be Providencia which will be Latino based and Spike Island a swamphut jumping with seisuins and slip jigs. It will also include The Oasis and Cirque. The people that were behind Salty Dog, Berlinhaus and Trailer Park are the developers.

That's to do with the EP thread, not this new festival which is totally separate.
