Electric Picnic 2022 - Here we go again! - **No Ticket Sales / Requests **

Hear hear

So are Bright eyes, in fairness. Well, Vicar Street. Who knows, eh?. Let's be optimistic, Fanirish.

Hang in there lads. I get it. It's wet, we've been waiting 8 years for an announcement and all those bastards are down there in Waterford listening to Nick Cave with a free flow can of craft beer in their hands. Our turn will come.

That sounds incredible, Poorside. I feel I'd have to have an outfit to go with it. I'll defo give it a rattle next week. Would they have it in O'Brien's, do you reckon?

The Whiplash was lovely, 3.8%.

Tonight, it's Weights and Measures by Galway Bay brewery, on the recommendation of @jimosterberg in the ATN thread, another beautiful, fruity drop, only 3%!! I could drink that all day!!

Both that and the Whiplash going for €2 a pop in O'Brien's in Naas at the moment.

Fingers crossed we'll have some music to talk about soon.

Jeaz, the moaning on the ATN fb page throughout the weekend😂 I just don’t understand it! You’re at a festival, downtown-craic’town why are you on Facebook complaining?

Decathlon seem to be the go to guys for the camping stuff alright. I got this lad last week..

A couple of blows and it inflates itself, not luxury but actually pretty comfy, dead neat, folds away in a little bag.

The absolute neck of me, giving camping advice.

Arrived a bit later than you and had a much different experience, the queue was pretty long and extended through the forest, across the road into the car parks. One gate open (paintball) and about 8 ppl total doing wristband and searching bags.

There wasn’t any provision made for people re-entering I.e. a dedicated wristband lane, and many seemed to be double tripping, I.e. Tent first, other stuff in from the car on a second trip, this just added to the queue. Didn’t realise this and we got caught out coming in the 2nd time, the queue was twice the size as the first time, naively thought we could take a side lane as we already had wristbands, but this wasn’t the case and it turned out most we talked to in the queue were in the same boat.

In 2012 the capacity was 35k, but it was a poor year only 22k in attendance. If 20k early entry this year, I really hope they have all gates and car parks open. Quite a difficult trek from the paintball entrance down the rough forest path to the Eco campsite.
