Based on his tour dates I guess Four Tet is playing the EA on the Saturday, would make for a nice alternative to The 1975.

Looks like we need to register to receive a loyalty discount for next year!

Yeah the Salty Dog and Trailer Park stage times are out too but weren't included in the announcement earlier on, the clashfinder is up to date. Some gaps on both the trailer park and salty dog stages though, not sure if it is a mistake on the app where they might have left an act out or what the story is.

From Met Eireann
Heavy rain all afternoon and evening will soak the place, bringing the wellies

And it looks like they are splitting the loyalty into two. If have purchased online, you can register online; if you have bought at a kiosk, then you have to turn up in person at a kiosk with your proof of previous Picnics and buy in person.

That worked out badly for me this year, where I was 10 minutes away from buying my loyalty tickets when they sold out. I only have one purchase online, but 6 in person. really don't want to go through the hassle of this year and the huge extra cost.

Eco spot I'm not using if anyone wants it PM your email

Has anyone heard an update on the off licence situation?

Mostly fine but some clashes already.

Harvest on Trailer Park on at the same time as Roadhouse Doors and TCM. What's that about?
Gerry Cinnamon overlapping with Maverick Sabre, I was really looking forward to both

Brittany Howard into Echo and the Bunnymen into the Strokes into Lamb on Saturday sounds like a good plan. Leaves 15 minutes for The 1975, which may be all I need or can take.
Florence clashing with Michael Kiwanuka I am really unhappy about.
An Emotional Fish and Kodaline/Mo, I'll probably have to see how I feel on the day which I go to.
Kneecap clashing with Richard Ashcroft, probably go with Richard.

Getting excited now.

Given that rain forecast, might need to rethink the meet up t shirts !!!!

Haven't we always had to register? And doing this we'll in advance of the ticket sales is surely much better than the last-minute chaos of registration and sales in the past two years?

no, they're sent out automatically if the purchases are on your ticketmaster account and you're signed up to the marketing email list.
I think a lot of people aren't signed up to the marketing list (or whatever list it is), so don't get them sent automatically and have to email TM themselves for a code.

I'd agree that this definitely seems better, as long as it actually works!

Ive a few questions around the family campsite that dont seem to be covered here https://www.electricpicnic.ie/information/family-info#info-section-37150

We have family camping tickets and know we have to register the child in advance. I have gone to EP a few times but never camped in the family section so I haven't a clue about it.

Myself and the wife will be arriving separately do you need a kid in the car to gain access to the family car park?

I will be arriving first with my child, I presume when my wife arrives I just bring my child to the entrance and my wife will be let into the family camp site then?

Once in the family campsite do you need a child with you every time you want to return back into the family campsite from the arena. Or once you enter the first time are you good to go for the rest of the weekend?

When’s Charli XCX On ?

Some thoughts:

Main Stage very poor all weekend, only five acts I'd want to see. Including a very prominent slot for David Keenan. Which clashes with much of TCM.

Music in main arena atarting very late on Friday. Why not 4pm instead of 6pm?

Great slots for Touts and Inhaler in Rankins Wood. Both with albums coming out soonish. Latter will be enormous given the deals they've signed.

Nice afternoon slot for Jessica Pratt at B&S. Though keeping the crowd quiet may be difficult.

Overall very happy with lack of clashes thus far. The Bunnymen running into The Strokes is as good as it gets.

This bothers me with festivals in general - All Together Now was the same this year. Surely starting music early (even some cover/tribute acts?) gets people in to the arena early to spend money on food/pints, which is surely what the promoters want?

And, also, if you're letting people in on a Thursday night, it's a long time before it all picks up and gets going really.

FATM will be full of selfie taking insta people talking during the quieter songs and singing badly during the popular dancy ones.

Michael Kiwanuka is likely to be full of people who want to hear Michael Kiwanuka.

Does this make your choice any easier?

dixiechick88 · 26-08-2019 10:33AM

Seriously no focus in work.........Full quality control took place yesterday even tested the camping chair with a can of beer!! Tent aired out and bags packed!!!! Weather Friday seems a lil dodgey but hey its Ireland, as long as the tent goes up in a relatively dry spell should be ok!

What time are people planning on hitting stradbally? Hoping to be there for 12, camping @ the ECO site, 3rd year there and love it!

Agreed, have seen Florence live before and she’s not bad, but even if I hadn’t seen her before, its a total no brainer to see Michael.

Kind of allergic to the main stage for the very reasons you say, just crammed with event junkies who won’t shut TF up. I may make an exception for the Strokes, but will hang at the back, to be well positioned for moving to next pitstop

dixiechick88 · 26-08-2019 10:35AM

The streets don't seem to be listed on the main stage? Electric arena or freetown perhaps?

This is the 1st year in a long time I'm driving down myself and don't have to wait around for my mate to pick me up around 2.

Could hit the road at 8:30am... eek!
