Electric Picnic 2024 **No Ticket Sales / Requests** - Waiting in line, terrible time, over familiar

Mirrors is a bit of a banger tbf

Sure they confirmed it a while back when they played the Olympia.

Well, wait to to you hear what has been discussed about Boardies that miss a year getting A Boot Up The Hole.

And if it degenerates into a Benny Hill-esque chase around Trailer Park, so much the better.

If anyone is looking for Harvest Moon camping, I have a Deluxe Bell Tent for two for sale. Pink moon, the company who runs the Harvest Moon camping, won’t give me a full refund 😬 It’s quite expensive too - €1385. Charging exactly what Harvest Moon charged me

There's a good lot off of that I'd take. I thought the latest Chase and Status album was very good, had a lot of good tunes over the years. Very trendy at the minute too, I wonder could they be late night dance headliner.

Stormzy popping up a lot too.

Kenya grace seems to be playing a lot of festivals around then too, I reckon it's just the type of act EP would book for tier 2. Usually not the type of act I'd like but thought that new number 1 "Strangers" was decent, liquid drum and bass sort of all self produced.

Have also been happy with N.E.R.D., Billie Eillish, Lana, JT and all great artists in their own right but just goes to show where expectations are now, considering we've had plenty of poor headliners too over the past few years.

I was actually thinking of NERD as a frame of reference for Timeberlake. Saw them in 2018 and it was the same kind of story. Wouldn't be buying tickets to see them play the 3 Arena, but they were headling at a festival I was already going to anyway so I went along and had a good time. Even if an act has some mediocre stuff in the catalogue, as long as they're decent performers and have a few decent (and lively) hits to get the crowd going, you'll be able to have a good time checking them out.

I would have been quite happy to see Bleachers or Belle and Sebastian off that list myself

Nope, curating and headlining own one day festival in IMMA in June

Not an exclusive though as far as I’m aware. Can’t see them doing EP anyway as the lineup won’t be to their taste. They’re too big for Croi and they’re fully aware that they’d get frustrated with the yapping in the tents.

I've a feeling we'll get something this Friday. Likely didn't want to get sidelined by the recent big gig announcements the last week or two. Now these have passed I can't see it going beyond this Friday for an initial line-up announcement. People will want to arrange their summer.

Soft Play have festivals the weekends either side of Electric Picnic but nothing that weekend so I'd say a very definite possibility for a return... or have they ever played Stradbally?
