[Cancelled] Electric Picnic 2020 **Discussion Only // No Ticket Sales / Requests **

Will the tickets sell out fast?

I know another stupid question,but will the codes be emailed in the morning or does anyone hazard a guess at what time they will be emailed at?

Reason I ask is despite having a tm account and registered for email alerts ,last year I never got the code and had to ring direct to ticketmaster to get the code over the phone,took 5 attempts to get through to them

From checking last years thread, people got them in the afternoon around 4:30ish. If it's the same tomorrow then that's a potential sh1tshow in terms of getting some one on the line if codes don't arrive

Yeah sounds like a real Friday afternoon “Mail and Bail” email alright. A quick send and out the door!

While we're at it, I wouldn't mind Fluke or Moby making an appearance on the Main Stage closing out Friday night.

Moby doesn't really tour I think anymore, and having been not quite, but nearly #metoo-ed by Natalie Portman I'd say he is keeping a low profile!

Amelie Lens in the Terminal tent has set the new benchmark for loud music of a Friday night, that's if EP continue to use it for same. Tall Paul, Darren Emerson (ex-Underworld,) and Nick Warren would be well suited to the newest tent on site.

I really hope that Amelie is booked again on these shores soon. That set was incredible! She posted an Insta video of the end of her set, seemed quite humbled by the crowd reaction. Can't find it now though.

At what time should we expect our loyalty codes ?

Is when I received mine last year. Wrong one of course!

Think you have to head down through Warhol and Hendrix to get to the Loyalty Codes now.

Reformed bands - Supergrass and Pavement back. Be nice to get at least one at EP. And who else over the next few years?

Smiths - would honestly prefer not to see it. Leave their legacy as it is and hope that Moz heads off to a hermit life on the Shetlands.
Talking Heads - nothing, but nothing, could match this.
Green on Red - has occasionally happened and overdue another outing.
Sugarcubes - Bjork has done it once (2006) but alas unlikely for another while.
Tubeway Army - Gary, get the band together for the old stuff.
And many, many more.

For retro stuff isn't it beyond time that FR booked some from Moving Hearts, SLF, the House of Love, Heaven 17, Roni Size, Ultravox & Blacmange?

Fair play to the man, that was some session.

The Smiths - don't think it will ever happen, and I don't really want it to. Glad to got to see Morrissey when he was just a w@nker and not a racist w@nker. A sad demise.

Talking Heads - Good God Lemon, I'm there.

Sugarcubes - I didn't realise that there ever had been a 'reunion'; would love to have seen that! Looking forward to herself in November - apparently after the Cornucopia tour she has much of the next album done. Eyes down for a Glastonbury/EP combo of new material and legacy material. Was right down the front at her last EP appearance, amazing!

Legends is right. But why oh why do they never come to Ireland? Oxegen 2007/08 or thereabouts is the one and only time I got to see them. We'll overdue an appearance over here.

Saw them Slane '98, couple of shows in The Olympia and Belsonic Festival in Belfast ('11 I think). They also played the Ulster Hall in Belfast in 1992, at a time when many bands wouldn't play in the North. Missed out on that one, sadly.

Still not a massive gig-rate when you compare them to The Charlatans, who I think I've seen 6 times in Belfast alone over the years.

One of the highlights of my festival career was holding Tim Booth aloft during his crowd surf at Glastonbury 2016! They opened The Other Stage (late, weather was atrocious), it was the morning of the Brexit Referendum result and everyone was a bit subdued, then Mickey Eavis introduced them and they went down a stormer.

I was in Portland, Oregon that day, and after a jazz gig checked to see what the result was on the iPad. Caught the Downing Street statement and was completely deflated. Booked tickets for The Flaming Groovies playing that night, there and then to cheer myself up. They were ****e, but support acts were great.
