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

Jeaaaz a petition for Aslan to play EP2020 on the EP banter page!! We need to shut it down!!

With regards the article, some points agreeable, but there's a ridiculous suggestion that rubbish on the ground means more rubbish generated! While I entirely agree you need to bin your sh1t its completely unsanitary! the reality is whether you binned or not, all the rubbish will eventually end up in a bin by Tuesday anyway.
Sure it's easy to slam organisers for tents being left behind, but the article doesn't make any suggestions on how to combat this.

I would like to see a tiered approach to the campsites, I'd bring the campers that we know are clean closer to the arena entrances, like campervan and better version of Greta, section them off via a wristband only, who knows as the "dirtier campers" make their way past these cleaner sites it might have some impact? But at the very least clean campers are rewarded with a shorter walk into the arena.

I also think organisers need to seriously consider a 21 age limit! I'm being ageist here but I have found its primarily 17-20'somethings that don't seem to understand the concept of "I was here before you" you're arriving 20 min late and you want to push someone else out!

People are pissing on the fence because there's a queue for the urinals, that means they need more urinals if they want to stop people pissing on the land. Also they should bring in female urinals so the wimmins aren't forced to use the horrendous portaloos.

Not true. They're doing it because they know that they can. People were pissing on the ground inside the urinals and on the wall outside the urinals. I didn't see any queues in two days there. I can imagine there were after Billie Eilish and other big draws, but a wait of what, 2/3 mins, to use the urinals? Two sets of large urinals by the main stage, others by the main tents. The site is very well equipped with toilets. If security got heavy-handed (which I don't recommend) then it'd stop immediately.

Tasers. And when down cover the offenders in gold glitter.

Don’t need tasers. Electrify the fences at the piss pots



Then use the glitter

I don't know, glitter and electric fences some would pay for such a service!

Any Dubs head to Edwyn Collins last night?

And another recommendation for Slyrydes at the Workman's Club in Dublin tonight:

When do tickets go on sale again ?

That was an excellent article. I also have my 2008 eco cup from EP and I'm currently wearing my 2008 EP hoodie. It would be great to see some sort of reusable cup for the bars (like they have in disneyworld). It would cut down on the number of children going around collecting plastic cups in the arena which I always find distasteful.

I came back from Primavera with about 10 of the reusable cups and they're in constant use in the house now especially when there's kids over. Plus it's cool looking at the different lineups over the years printed on the labels.

Jaysus they should bring in urinals for guide dogs next!

Excellent article. Bang on the money.

Is there another Electric Picnic happening soon.

Our home house has had a ticket spot that we've used for years. In the press behind the thing is pretty accurate.

Same here, and there's a constant rolling conveyor belt of tickets in our house. I keep them in a tin; in the hopes that they'll be ok, even if the house burns down (please no).

Put them with documents of equal or lesser importance e.g. mortgage deeds, will, life insurance policy.

My wife has hidden my will and life insurance policy... Told me that I don't need them anymore
