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

I guess that makes sense, if Liam Gallagher is one of the headliners then holding the announcement back may help shift a few more tickets for his Limerick show.

I don’t get if he is a headliner at EP but yet can’t sell tickets for limerick. Doesn’t make sense. Why would they do that.

Last week with all the changes on their socials. Beyoncé also released her new album and she said she will tour again in 2024.
This could have caused an unexpected hault to their plans? Maybe she is the headliner and they want to wait until her tour announcements before they give the lineup? I could be completely wrong.
Taylor Swift is also still free on the Sunday night and she is only across in London so big potential there too.

The headliner needs to be big anyway if they are holding off this long and it’s the 20th edition.

I hope there is a big Dj playing the main stage. That would be good.

The Script may be headlining since they are not playing Pinks Irish dates but are playing all her other tour dates.

Any EP24 spotify playlists with artists ACTUALLY likely to play?

I want to get hyped (despite the later announcement) but everywhere I look it's Blink-182/The Weeknd/Green Day who we know will likely not happen, no Noah Kahan etc.

not really a staffing issue. EP has an announcement strategy and has not deviated from it. EP sells out on presales alone so line up announcement has zero impact on sales. I’m sure next year if that changes they might do a Christmas headliner announcement as a way to push sales.

slow sales on summer shows for mcd wouldn’t affect EP announcement. All the work is done before announcing shows.

OK who's playing then Fanirish, put us out of our misery. 😀

she played oxegen in 2011, beyonce is not charging 2011 prices in 2024. In the intervening years she has cemented herself as one of the biggest artist ever and sells out stadiums across europe for €150 ish a ticket, she ain’t playing EP for her kids allowance money.

That's it though Fanirish I'm getting fed up with acts been suggested and vetoed which is quite frustrating as we can't even see a fcuking line up poster.

Im probably going to park this discussion here for now as its a little tiresome for everyone but..

MCD are prioritizing their effort in to promoting the summer shows over EP

EP announcement is not affected by summer shows

Im sure you have an answer, but sounds like a contradiction.

There's alot of summer shows not selling out yet Arcade Fire in Malahide, LCD/Idles/Young Fathers also in Malahide, Fatboy Slim in Fairview, Take That (multiple venues) and many more. If there was overlap that might be delaying the announcement in an effort to not deflect from those ticket sales.

You also "literally" posted on 27 March "Line up this week". So when you literally post stuff I'm sure people can choose to not literally believe it as being literally fact based on the perception that you throw the kitchen sink at guess work, whether based on knowledge or not, and some guesses work out and some don't!

I think what really doesn't help with the angst is when names like J Hus, Gerry Cinnamon, Catfish and the Bottleman and Noah Kahan are constantly been thrown around as the most likely headliner/tier 2 acts without many really decent names being mentioned besides the odd one and maybe Lana Del Rey.

I don't know if this was posted yet but more a mid-sized festival line up. Beautiful Days, just some names to mill over happening same weekend as the Picnic. Wouldn't mind Fat Freddy's Drop, New Model Army and Third World out of that lot anyways.
