Electric Picnic 2023 No Ticket Sales / Requests - It'll be grand

What do we reckon, ticketwanker servers fall over within 5 mins and the allocation gone in 9?

I did the loyalty reg at the Olympia yesterday and was told I would get an email on Friday with my code.

No option on that for those of us not in the aforementioned three outlets. I've bought a couple of tickets at Zhivagos in Galway (easier to get the 3 Picnic loyalty in-store when TM only gave me the 1/2 loyalty code online) Hoping for an email with 3 purchases but have no faith in them. At least the loyalty option is still there, though I expect the allocation to lessen year by year.

Dry Cleaning in Belfast & Dublin in February. @desk tidy @Stillill42

EP next Sept also?

Excellent news, that's a cert for us. Probably hit the Belfast show as it's the recently completed Mandela Hall refurb, so glad that is back as a venue.

bergipau · 08-09-2022 10:35AM

Any know if the campervan tickets will be on sale Saturday?

I dont think the went on sale with the presale in 2019

Loved the Mandela. Hopefully they've made a job of it.

It looks great, without losing what made it. Hopefully the sound will be great too.

Sometimes wristbands were being checked, other times not.

Seathrun66 · 08-09-2022 04:07PM

Predictions? I think RATM will be scheduled alongside their return to Reading/Leeds. at least no Picture This/Dermot Kennedy/Coronas but I'd expect some from Gavin James, Kodaline, Frames, Script, etc. I'm again not expecting much from the headline acts but a much stronger undercard.

Hopefully the return of Sunday afternoon reggae, 80s heritage acts and indie bands from further afield. Go on FR, surprise me with an Old Skool lineup.

Dreamweapon · 08-09-2022 04:19PM

Registered in the Olympia today, in and out no fuss. As i have zero EP's on my ticketmaster account i figured i better make the effort this time to stand me in good stead for any future loyalty schemes.

Its never been an issue for people to have visitors in 5 years. My Sat morning EP fry is legendary!

Possibile Headliners

Wild cards are Queens of The Stone Age and Bjork

If Muse don't announce an Irish date next week they'll headline (they've wanted to for some time)

I don't think that RATM will do the late summer shows, i think they're going to aim for June/July Euro

If a one off date isn't announced Rihanna

Red Hot Chilli Peppers

Sigur Ros/Alt J/ (M83 would be amazing but not likely)

MIA/The XX

Lower Headliner possibilities Sigrid/Stereophonics/Franz Ferdinand/Kasabian/St Vincent

From the Irish I reckon Hozier as a headliner if album is decent,

It's time for the bi yearly visit of Gavin James.

I think depending on how things go with Charlotte Hatherley and the Ash reunion (2 UK gigs) we may see them for a show.

Bell X1, Villagers, Fight like apes

International undercard:

The Smile, King Gizzard, Santigold, Marcus Mumford, Mura Masa, Self Esteem, Doves, Everything Everything, The Darkness, Father John Misty, Young Fathers

Ferris_Bueller · 08-09-2022 06:22PM

Impossible to predict headliners this far away, but I think you are now nearly guaranteed that two out and out pop headliners in the mold of Gavin James, Picture This, Dermot Kennedy, Kodaline, The Coronas etc.

Some acts that are releasing albums over the next while though that would be good:

Caribou, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Simple Minds, Phoenix, Gorillaz, Royksopp.

Ricosruffneck · 08-09-2022 07:28PM

Depeche mode are going to do fests next year. They are a great fest band.

Stillill42 · 08-09-2022 07:38PM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119591778#Comment_119591778

Oh mother of God, Rico. Don't do that to me. I've just decided I'm out. They'd be pretty much the dream headliner for me at this stage.

Fanirish · 08-09-2022 08:15PM

You can rule out Rihanna, RHCP, Muse, Depeche Mode as headliners. Those would never happen due to their fees.

This is not the case.

I've seen all of these at smaller fests in the past 6 years.

my understanding is The exact same weekend wristbands, are on people in general camping, and people in Campervan/caravan areas, so i don’t see why yee can’t visit others and vice versa, unless i am missing something here, or they have changed things ?

I was also given a campervan wristband so...

Reded · 09-09-2022 12:06AM

Lovely review as ever, BD. Slightly disappointed you didn't get a flower crown yourself. I think you could pull that off. I know Paula, the girl in the picture with your friend at the flower place.

As always @bodhrandude a fantastic picture of your EP - you fairly clocked up the miles! Thanks for all the great pics and clips

scruff monkey · 09-09-2022 09:03AM

Ticketmaster being more organised this year, code sat gleaming like a polished turd in my inbox this morning.

Price incease as expected, €195 of your hard earned pennies.

The last bit of the mail is the funniest thing I’ve read all year

”The highly anticipated festival lineup will be revealed soon.”

adam240610 · 09-09-2022 09:04AM

195 euro for 3+ picnics

Dutchy · 09-09-2022 09:07AM

Happy with getting a ticket for 195 (well 205 after ticket b@stard get their pound of flesh)
