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

Some questions, not been since 2018. Is there a premium toilet thing still there? Last time there was and unfortunately I suffer with IBS now so bowels can be dodgy in the morning.

are there metal detectors for bags? Have a small bottle of paco robanne phantom aftershave so I don’t smell like death but it’s in a metally plasticy type robot, not glass. Chances of that being taken?

The page on the Garda website with detailed traffic routes is down at the moment, but their twitter (@gardainfo) has tweets today containing working links to the full travel advisory for all approaches.

TCM on twice, playing all of The Queen is Dead at the Survivor stage at 6.15 on Sat. Half the set clashes with a certain Johnny Marr so expect them to fly through it and finish 45 mins early.

Meet up looks like Pet Sounds.

I've two free tickets for The Killers in Belfast this Friday. PM me if you're interested.

Nice one!

rockterrain · 29-08-2023 07:56PM

Wet Leg and The Murder Capital is a bad clash - two of the more promising acts I was excited to see.

grudgehugger · 29-08-2023 08:56PM

There's no sign of any times yet for most of the small stages they announced for Freetown like Six Bars, correct?

Donal Dineen is on there at some point I think but no idea when!

Barbie2k23 · 29-08-2023 08:57PM

The Script playing the academy Friday night tickets on sale tomorrow

Doubtless several takers here, two sets in 24 hours.

rubick · 29-08-2023 09:08PM

Kila not playing, just two of the band.

I think the app said, "Members of Kila". It's changed now.

glennponder · 29-08-2023 09:41PM

They've really toploaded all the decent acts on Friday!!.....scrolling through the schedule from the start of Saturday up to the evening time, struggling to find anything I'd like to go to....wander time methinks

veryangryman · 29-08-2023 09:46PM

Get people in early to scoop up those 7.50 pints.

I hate marketing people

Ricosruffneck · 29-08-2023 09:53PM

Despite all my bitching, there's a lot to see.

Yeah not the big acts that Ive likely seen before and would want to see again.

But I reckon I'm gonna embrace new things.

Bit of Reggae, bit of Havana bit of art pop and a whole lot of new bands I haven't seen live and a couple of decent known bands.

Only time I'm checking out the main stage is for the Killers.

I expect big things for 2024 though.

And the choice/diversity blows ATN out of the water.

Dreamweapon · 29-08-2023 10:31PM

This caught my eye:

All car parks will be open for early entry ticket holders from 16:00 on Thursday the 31st, and then for general ticket holders from 9:00 on Friday 1st September until 16:00 Monday 4th September 2023. The car park is staffed 24 hours a day during this period.

Hopefully can get into Red on Thursday so. We did last year but there was a long tailback so i think they just decided to get people into Red and off the road. Seemed fairly disorganised anyway.

Also, where is the Survivors stage?

drunkmonkey · 29-08-2023 10:36PM

Does anyone know how it works buying a pink moon pitched tent off someone. Website states "Accommodation bookings MAY NOT TO BE RE-SOLD / SOLD ON OR PASSED ON TO A THIRD PERSON IN GRACE OR FAVOUR, without the written permission of Pink Moon Camping."

Was hoping to buy one off someone tomorrow.

Genghis · 29-08-2023 10:38PM

The Lightning Seeds literally rolling back time on Sunday, starting 3.30 and finishing 75 minutes earlier. 😊

Have seen elsewhere that if you contact pink moon they can change the name on the booking

There is a few of those on the app but in fairness they are fixing them. At one stage pale blue eyes were playing back to back gigs with one finishing before it started meaning they were clashing with themselves

I'll try that cheers.

Fatfrog · 29-08-2023 11:01PM

Once again saying loowatt in ECO, is that just carried across year after year? Anyone know what the story is with loowatt. Showers pretty close to eco now

Fatfrog · 29-08-2023 11:06PM

Touch of rain Thursday morning, to stop by the time anyone is in! That’ll do nicely!

Just be happy they’re in a tent this time, so lost on main stage before which is a shame given Brodies tunes.

True, very flat last time, main stage didn’t work, same with Ash & ABC, both much better when they’d played previously in the tents.

And btw, when looking through recent setlists today I found out this was a cover. I’d never known, am I the only one?

I've just finished my rough plan for Saturday and it's full of overlaps and direct clashes. From 12:20 to 03:30 I have three gaps, all of them are less than 15 minutes. I'm going to have to drop some bands somewhere.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121044922#Comment_121044922

Survivors stage is behind the Salty Dog, off the path between Mother and Spike Island. It's where The Hustle was last year.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121044954#Comment_121044954

Their Fish Town slot hasn't populated yet and the IT have now corrected the earlier of the two Salty Dog sets they were named in to The Love Buzz but it's still blank on the app.

One that caught me eye is that the picture for Pixie Cut Rhythm includes Julie Hough who the app has playing in Havvk at the same time. The IT has the Havvk gig on Saturday night. There's definitely a few corrections still to come

Charlie · 30-08-2023 06:29AM

Talk about mixed messaging 🥴

“Drug 'surrender bins' to be in operation again at Electric Picnic, gardaí warn no amnesty given”

https://jrnl.ie/6154976

If ATN was anything to go by, I’d advise anyone who might be dabbling this weekend to be extra vigilant. High presence Undercover Guards and sniffer dogs should be expected.

Asking for a friend here who's never been to EP. If they wanted to enjoy a joint or two across the weekend, does anyone have any tips on the safest way to go about it? Or quieter areas that might be suitable?
