    You're right actually. Would have put them on the same level as the Strokes but apparently not judging by their place in other festival's lineups!

    I reckon we're definitely missing a big dance act as a headliner. Orbital or Chemical Brothers?

    Not a big fan of the strokes but status wise they are miles ahead of razor light, can see razor light doing the sun afternoon main stage slot

    It's already happened, avoid the main stage if that isnt your thing and you should be fine

    Thanks for the advice.

    But really, no it hasn't already happened. So far, yes we have had pop .. but zero sh1te EDM/R&B

    i suppose it depends on your definition of EDM, pretty sure Flume, Duke Dumont, Disclosure to name a few have all played from what i remember, not necessarily sh!te but i'd argue EDM. Also lets be fair, Picture This were sub headliners last year, cant ever get worse than that in all reality unless Bressie/The Blizzards decide to turn up

    About as likely as me renting my foreskin out as a 2 man tent for the weekend.

    Is that the same as a Bellend tent in Pink Moon?

    Same as anywhere else really, bag of ice and a cold bag. Ensure to wipe the cheesey bits away daily or else they congeal making the cans difficult to open.

    Can you just use a SMEG mini fridge instead:

    What's the story with the today fm competition? Is it still every show they're giving tickets away or is it just once per day now?

    Think it must be random. Was one all day Monday, several before afternoon yesterday, and unless I missed it none yet today.

    I'm hoping to win early so I can tune out asap ;)

    Stop this nonsense please. I know EP has changed a little in the target demographic, but this poppy EDM/R&B sh1te is not in scope yet.

    Did you go to ATN in the end?


    Ok i change my prediction so to Underworld, Tame Impala, Chemical bros, Aphex Twin. happy?

    too bad Calvin Harris is stuck in Vegas

    No didn't go in the end mate - the traffic jam and sitting inside during the torrential rain Sunday cured the fomo. Delighted its over now so can look ahead to this. Going to go to Foo Fighters in the mean time to tide me over :D

    Hey was wondering if someone could answer the following:

    If you have a family weekend camping ticket, can it be used a normal ticket to get your wristband as a single person (staying in pink moon)?

    Does a family weekend camping ticket holder have to go through a specific entrance ? I normally go to the car park closest to Pink moon. Will I get in or be redirected?

    Thanks

    It can be used as a general ticket, but the usual thing is to try and swap it with someone looking for a family ticket.

    Don't try bring your family into Pink Moon - the ATN thread posters will be over here any second now to tell you off.

    You can use a family ticket as a normal ticket BUT i would strongly recommend looking to swap with someone chasing a family ticket as they are in very short supply.


    Cannot answer the parking question.

    What’s with the anti child ATN thing? Was there people for real mad at kids attending!?

    I think one of the reasons EP is so chill is because of the family element. Definitely cuts down on the ‘stag’ like behaviours during the day.

    Plus it’s funny seeing the ghost of Christmas future as a beleaguered parent desperately tries to convince his child that these crooners are cool despite not being related to minecraft or fortnite.

    to be fair, if you bring your child to ep then youre one of those 'hey my son/daughter is my best friend' idiots who probably shouldnt be allowed to have kids

    to be fair the acts this year are a bit different, but in general what acts are at ep that most kids would be into? its usually just so that the parents can say 'oh look how cool i am i bring my kids to a music & arts festival' to their friends. remember seeing a number of kids at underworld in 2015 looking bored as anything while a load of 50 year olds were off their faces on pills. as much as its billed as family-friendly ep really isnt

    The significant investment the festival makes with family camping, parking, ever-improving kids field etc shows how family friendly it isn't.



    Youre right, the rest of us are wrong.

    fair enough, but on the other hand when its a festival that largely involves large crowds of people taking drugs/drinking excessively while watching acts that most kids would have no interested in seeing, its still not that family friendly all the same, i do get where youre coming from though

    Is that very handy FAQ post knocking about? The questions are going to start soon.
    Could the post alone be made a sticky until EP? ‘ every EP question answered without having to deal with the nerds in the EP thread’.

    If other people's kids at festivals annoy you, you are probably doing it wrong.

    Mind your own fvcking business and have some fun.

    Hi All, My money is on the Swedish House Mafia as the unrevealed dance act. Playing the UK on the 24th and not playing Lollapalloza Berlin until the seventh of September! As we know Razorlight self announced and I reckon we'll get Kodaline too!

    I'd say your right about the Mafia that's why they don't want families and it's going to be cordened off from the main arena. Reckon we'll possibly see a few more big names in Freetown as well..
