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

Still shite U2/Coldplay lite though

Absolutely shocking

I'm away into the woods here.

Despite the hope we have all had - we shouldn’t be one bit surprised! They are the greatest shower of ******s

the comments are good craic though”

🤣🤣🤣 anyway! I’m off to buy some cans it will be a chill weekend no running around to catch acts!

In fairness even if it was an act that people here wanted, it wouldn't have saved the headliner situation.

To all the brave souls who bought 2024 tickets, I commend you. I waited off to see how this years was as have been to the past 5 or so and last year wasn't great. It'll probably be sponsored as TikTok's Electric Picnic and considering usually there's a transition in booking policy, next years will be even worse. The likes of Picture This, Dermot Kennedy again, Harry Styles I can all see being on the roster along with whoever is the latest music trends on Tik Tok in tier 2.

Absolute nail in the coffin for me, definably my last year and I'm in their 'Core demographic'/ mid 20s which seems to have shifted even younger, I have zero friends/acquaintances my age going this year due to lineup where as probably 10+ last year, bookers completely out of touch. Unless a miracle happens (for me personally) and they have Aphex Twin + Warp Records Stage haha, or even bring back B&S area. Every festival runs it's course unless it's Glastonbury, and I think this will have soon. EP did to Oxygen what ATN will probably do to EP, it's an awful shame especially knowing where it all came from with the magic touch of John Reynolds. They're competing with the likes of Sea Sessions and Indiependence rather than being what they've done great at up until recently.

The Script?! **** me, that's awful.

Ah now they sold out 3x 3 arena and musgrave park in 2022. Enormously popular still

lol

Imagine blurring out a main act on the lineup for 6 months only to announce that a week before!

This was a better line up that EP this year!!

Dashed hopes for something, anything else aside, this really doesn't change anything for me in that I've still 25+ acts to see and it's unlikely that any will be on the Main Stage.

In fact @desk tidy and I did a bit of tunesing last night and added a few more including Don Fe, 9x9, Snail Mail, D-Operations Drop, TRYM, Pablo Baldini, Charlie Sparks and Julie.

Might check out Jamie XX based solely on the fact that we were walking past his ATN Main Stage set and what we heard was pretty decent.

It's just the Marketing that kills you. Don't let it win.
