    ......and if you think the crowd rush for Billie Ellish was mad on the Friday last year.........

    hi, I have been in Ireland for 4 years now, been to many gigs but never to electric picnic. I just saw that Rage against the machine were announced.. and I want to go. According to RATM website the tickets will go on sale on the 13/2. As I see electric picnic tickets are completely sold out (before announcing the line up?lol). I have two questions:
    1) Will they issue tickets for RATM for friday 4/9/20?
    2) are the any day ticket passes(if I want friday or saturday only) in electric picnic or only weekend and sunday only?

    thank you

    they've done it together a few times before, so hopefully!

    The answer to both your questions is unfortunately no. All tickets are sold out and have been for a while. But toutless is always a great place to go for them.

    Tickets always become available closer to the event as well.

    There are Sunday tickets but those are also sold out.

    bad news but thank you for responding. I think I will go to see them in Poland, it is going to be cheaper from buying tickets from resellers.. thanks :)

    1. No, no they will not, the weekend tickets sold out quite a while ago BUT you will always be able to buy tickets off other people/toutless.com in the weeks running up to the event. DO NOT PAY ANYONE MORE THAN FACE VALUE FOR A TICKET!!!

    2. They only have sunday tickets as day tickets, that's it. They normally go on sale when the main announcement takes place which is usually mid march.

    So, we know RATM are playing the Friday, you'll need to get your paws on a weekend ticket. Start saving the pennies and bide your time, you'll see tickets being advertised for silly money over the next month and after the main announcement, hold fire and wait till much closer.

    The number of tickets massively increased this year and there will be tickets floating at face value just before the festival.

    thanks a lot for the information mate! Not planning to pay resale.. I prefer to travel to see them. I will be keeping an eye to toutless hoping to have the opportunity :)

    Weekend tickets do become available a few days before the festival starts,a few friends got weekend tickets last year and collected at the Mobile box office on the Friday ,so they do drop online a few days before the start of the festival....

    Genuine question but why would they not have played a stand alone gig? Like surely it would have sold out?

    Isn’t there going to be so many people that would love to see them but won’t want to go to ep never mind have tickets now with it being sold out?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 445 ✭✭Noseygit


    They will probably do arena tour in Europe next summer

    They seems to be playing the festivals circuit in Europe .... So it's venues where they don't need to organise the logistics of their own stages / sound etc

    Think you answered your own question.

    I’m lolling at the rage against the machine thread

    Dickhead picnic :):)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,746 ✭✭✭BullBlackNova


    R&L has an awful line up.

    Courteeners higher up the bill than RTJ? FFS.

    If they got the schedule right on the Sunday - Idles, Slowthai, RTJ and RATM - it would be a strong run though but I'd genuinely struggle to find five acts over the rest of the weekend to see!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,290 ✭✭✭Ricosruffneck


    RnL

    That was what I thought. I would have thought most RATM fans would not have EP tickets already, and a large chunk of people with tickets wouldn't be huge RATM fans, this thread arguably being the exception!

    That R&L lineup is not my thing at all. I actually don't think there is one act on it that I would like to see added to any Irish festival.

    Having never seen RATM over the years, I am utterly thrilled by this news. :D

    Loving the RATM announcement.. Have i missed the boat on the Ecocamp for this year?..only sorted tickets yesterday

    They don't send out notification of the registration until after the main announcement - keep an eye on their Facebook page.

    Yeah I’m not into that line up either! I’m hoping for tame impala though!
    Are you giving ep a skip this year?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 983 ✭✭✭dav09


    Good and bad on the R&L lineup. Down the list some good acts, there's loads of hip hop that would be good additions to EP Slowthai, Denzel, Headie, Danny Brown. We seemed to be deprived of almost any hip hop last year (although Scary Eire besides sound issues were class as always) so would be nice to see some more this year. Mahalia, Fontaines, Idles would be good shouts I reckon too to be added.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,501 ✭✭✭PabloAndRoy


    Just saw on twitter that RATM are playing L&R, thought to myself "that might line them up for EP also", open boards EP thread... viola!

    What a lovely surprise. Tuesday's can be good!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 440 ✭✭Paddy2012

    Wouldn't mind Idles from that and some of the hip hop acts like Denzel Curry, JPEGMAFIA and Danny Brown.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,293 ✭✭✭billybonkers


    Expect Run the Jewels also as they are touring with RATM

    Got my guest list sorted for EP once I saw RATM were playing, no way I could miss them here! Buzzing!

    Surprised there hasn't been more activity here with such a big announcement


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,598 ✭✭✭showpony1


    Liam Gallagher looks a cert
