yep and the answer to the price question - as a loyal three customer you get to pay€100 extra for the same benefits Pink moon customers can buy for €60?

probably works out much better as you're not paying €260 for a 2man tent or whatever the other ridiculous prices for Pink Moon are.

Eclectic food options....there's a wood oven pizza stand. That's it.

frozenfrozen · 31-07-2015 01:33PM

yeah the best food places will not be hidden away in some low footfall area anyway

everlast75 · 31-07-2015 02:08PM

Is there any chance some of those acts from Indiependence will be added? Would love to see All Tvvins and Fight Like Apes

PadraigOK · 31-07-2015 02:35PM

I see OV have released a few names. Hopefully EIY gets a show in the Main Arena.

Furious-Red · 31-07-2015 03:20PM

Other Voices are returning to the Stradbally woods this September and they have just revealed the first snippets of their line-up: announced so far are The Staves, East India Youth, Stornoway, Heartless Bastards, Cristobal & The Sea, Ala.ni, Gavin James and Ham Sandwich.

An amusing article from the Guardian about festival horror stories.

I just had a little look at the 2fm/Oxjam play the picnic competition. Some of these guys aren't bed, El Grey are actually pretty alright. But Just Mikey really kill it. I hope they get to the bigger stage or play some Dublin gigs soon. Loving this song:

Missed them twice last year only realised on the Monday morning :mad:

bodhrandude · 01-08-2015 12:05AM

Was anyone watching the Hot Chip set from Lollapalooza, they done a cover of Springsteen's Dancing in the Dark and went into what sounded like LCD Soundsystem's All my Friends at the end of their set, really nice stuff.

donCORK · 01-08-2015 12:10AM

it's been about 4/5 years since I've been but is it still only beer served in the main arena?

There is a few range of lagers, Heneiken, Coors, Paulener and I think Becks too, there will be Pimms probably, Prosecco and a few wine bars too. Apparently Orchard Thief is going to be there this year with cider too, there is the Bacardi bar and I think Red Bull has a bar where you can get Vodka too

I assume the "craft" beer bar will be back too this year.

Check out Aine Cahill at the Oxjam stage as well, little girl with a big, big voice.

Hello. I've been to electric picnic 5 or 6 times (though not in last couple of years). Any time I've been I have never once taken a shower.

I'm a bit older now and I think I would like to shower this time! So, outside of boutique camping, what are the showering options at electric picnic?

Arne_Saknussem · 01-08-2015 11:05AM

Hello. The showers are usually located in the Hendrix campsite just opposite the entrance the arena. They've been excellent the the last few years.

About 20 individual showerheads separated by canvas dividers, warm water, little or no queues and they're free. I think they shut up shop at around 2pm each day though.

Who doesn't love 6 euro pints of Heineken :pac:

Toyed with the idea of taking a shower Sunday last year, until I seen the queues!! Must have been half a mile long and wasn't moving too fast!
Used my own alternative shower method back at the tent, which involved pouring water over a baby wipe, mixing up with soap standing in my boxers I was able to give my self a 'good oul clean'. To rince again I soaked a baby wipe, used that to take of the suds. Towel dry and boom it was pretty dam near a shower feeling!

Can't beat a good whores bath!

I'd love to shower but I can't get up that early and I don't queue too well ðŸ˜€

Rarely buy a pint at the festival usually a bottle of soft drink and tip my favourite spirit into it. It's less peeing an expense! Don't mind the odd pint for afternoon chilling though. Pretty sure Heineken owns most of those beers anyways. They own Tiger which is prob their version of a "craft beer"

Their version of a craft beer is actually Cute Hoor.

frozenfrozen · 01-08-2015 04:15PM

you'd be spoiled after the baby wipes

Bobby Baccala · 01-08-2015 04:45PM

Are there any stands selling Galway hooker and the likes?
