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

There will always be someone way down at the bottom of the poster that will surprise you.

Time to do some research.

Don't know what to say, not great aye, but some of the first announcement pretty decent so will still go to lots of that, will Youtube some of the acts added but quite a few in the crossover from Wild Roots, B&S and ATN and mainly Irish acts at that.

That is embarrassingly bad. Surely they had someone else lined up and it fell through or something?

Anyway, it'll still be great craic, even if my weekend will be entirely spent at smaller stages and wondering around aimlessly, apart from the Pixies and some of the techno stuff. Would love if the pixies clash with one of the sh1tty headliners.

I'll point you to Naked Lungs. If you like Gilla Band you'll like them.

Elsewhere i'd opt for Thumper, Silverbacks and Sprints.

I presume Kinara Kitchen are still playing the Pakistani Cuisine Stage? That's the most important announcement every year!

It really would have to be terrible to make a huge difference.

There will always be people who bought tickets and their plans change and they have to offload them at the last minute. The refund option unique for 2020 tickets and not a lot of people realise it is there. I just wonder will the announcement tip the balance of people who are on the fence.

There will still be a few more announcements for the likes of Jerry Fish and The Salty Dog for us to look forward to.

Yes I’ll have a ball as always & yes there’ll be some acts to be discovered but overall the depth of the whole lineup for me is appalling, really really poor. Dreadful!

Honestly they had to have had someone like RATM or someone lined up that cancelled, you can't wait until 3 weeks out before the festival and then be this be the second and most likely last big announcement, no big dance act for Saturday night announced? Although given the the other acts added I'm not so sure.

After an initial review, I have 21 acts shortlisted pending research. Going to be doing a lot of dancing this year. Keep forgetting about Khruangbin and the early announcements. We had 25 acts that we deemed 'must sees' at Glastonbury so I guess we can't complain too much. I think we get annoyed because our favourites aren't there. I have no doubt I'll muddle through the best.

I reiterate!.... shocking!!!

taken for mugs again!

@Fatfrog Steady on now!

Sickening, the token irish acts coronas, academic Hudson Taylor were always going to be added but for them to be the main acts is a disgrace, was sure we'd have at least 1 decent act included

I'd argue the line up isnt a million miles away from this, Tame Impala, Arctic Monkeys, Snow Patrol, Fontains, Glass Animals, London Grammar, Wolf Alice, Pixies or on my list and for me is enough known acts (clashes permitting) to get me through

We've all been here before, and every year I think that the line up is poor I see some great acts. Combination of getting older and them not signing top tier acts but still charging top tier prices.

That being said...that announcement was a fcuking joke and I hope they burn in hell.

This will definitely be my last picnic. All the gigs in malahide fairview and St Anne's has been to the detriment of this festival. Its probably the worst line up that there has been. ATN for me next year.
