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

I was was originally annoyed when ACDC clashed with EP....not anymore

LG/ kasabian in Belfast and ACDC weekender it is instead for me.

What a pile of piss

EOTR.

What a brutal lineup ! Do yourselves a favour people - target a European Summer festival instead - better acts and guaranteed good weather.

Pukkelpop have a decent line up in Belgium same weekend if that's any use to anyone

I'm assuming now that I was right in them just really dropping the ball on organising acts this year. The fact that they had so much time and money and moved the date and still only had this to show for it makes me feel like acts they wanted must have fallen through and were scrambling to fill slots with whatever they could. By all accounts its not being well-received even outside this self-selecting thread, and I'm sure they know enough that they knew it wasn't going to go down well. It surely can't bode well for the 2025 festival. A lot of people will be going for the social experience and only mildly bothered but there has to be a fairly significant enough portion of people will have felt burned now by buying so early on trust alone.

they are all headliners this year

Not sure if ye are familiar with the term “TikTok rizz party” but if you take an educated guess it’s something like this.

I suppose mcd got greedy putting likes of Liam G in Dublin, Belfast and Limerick as he would have been an acceptable headliner for a decent portion of people.

A good few acts played last year that have blown up like last dinner party.
would expect CMAT to be added after her fairview show

Speaking about the line-up announcement, Festival Director Melvin Benn said, "Electric Picnic is the slightly earlier jewel in the crown of the festival calendar this year of course and what a crown it is.

"A crown that 75,000 people get to wear and be part of and what a lineup they have to be part of. The Wolfe Tones returning was a must. The Scratch and The Waterboys are unmissable for me.

"Noah taking the world by storm and Calvin blowing our minds and then…. Kylie! What more can I say. The Picnic really is my joyous weekend."

Is there anything to be said for another mass?

nah Padam massive hit, always has a hit or two every album

I personally think EP had avoided Calvin Harris for 20 years and that Calvin Harris should never ever play EP. So now that he's in the line up we are well and truly fcuked, Swedish House Mafia would have been an improvement.

Kahan can do "Stick Season" a few dozen plays to headline.

Soz, Melvin has got a Noah Kahan acoustic set planned for there…
