Electric Picnic 2014 ** NO TICKET DISCUSSION ALLOWED ** see new mod note

Announcing the Black Keys would definitely be a decent compromise if we're not going to get QotSA. I still want QotSA though. :P

I wouldn't mind em but they only played here a few months ago, not really dying to see em again so soon.

Chelsea Wolfe, Future Islands and Tim Hecker and I'll be well happy with this EP. Oh and David Moyes so I can kick him in the balls.

So said a lot of people about the killers that year.
You're forgetting who owns and runs this festival now.

C'mon mate be realistic, Coldplay can sell out 80,000 capacity arenas, why would they play a 32,500 - 40,000 capacity event, plus a lot of regular Picnic goers wouldn't be able to get a ticket as they would all be snapped up by Coldplay fans.

Yea don't forget festival Republics MD ran Glasto for years until 2012, much wider music spectrum so you can kinda see what he was doing booking the killers?

But cost would be the limiting factor, I read somewhere that a typical cost to book Coldplay would be $1.2M USD. That kinda of money would pay for 3-4 typical EP headliners. There's no way that would be viable particularly with loyalty tickets, unless there were major cuts elsewhere.

On a slightly more realistic note, what do people reckon the chances of Queens being announced actually are? Would they have been in the first announcement, or could they be a big juicy worm after the loyalty scheme ends.

So for those who have been, can you do a pros and cons of the different camp sites?

pink moon camping is a bit of a rip off for a two man tent.

every non-general camping option is a rip-off really, depends on how much you value having showers and better security I suppose.

Whats the store with the mailbox, it's still full? Anywhere else I can send my proof of attendance to?

Email it and see? If it's full you'll get an error as a reply, otherwise it's gone through fine!

It's all explained a few pages back in this thread..

The Prodigy's gig guide on their website lists their last gig at the moment at Rock en Seine festival on 23rd August, it would be great if they were announced for the late Saturday night slot, not as big as Coldplay or Kanye West but maybe a more realistic act to follow the Saturday night headliner from 12.30 -2.30am.

Did they not sell out Slane before?

Also I think what they need is a Sunday headliner, the bands already mentioned should cover Friday and Saturday, they're looking for that big name that will reel people in. The Prodigy are one of them granted and they could follow Portishead after Rock en Seine but I doubt it.
