    Having nightmares remembering Cat Power's non-show show in Whelans years ago, awful, off her bin hidden in the corner of the stage, painful.

    She just shouldn't tour.

    She's sorted herself out since then though, and she's played some crackers...Tripod and the Olympia spring to mind...

    Hey lads and lassies, just wondering about the installment plan. It said that February 1st was when the second payment was due, yet my account balance remains unchanged. Everything is in order, the stored billing information, etc so I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar?

    Buying Longitude ticket for Friday to see Kendrick, are the chances of him playing in Stradbally as well as Marley Park slim? Have tickets for EP also and would think twice about buying the Longitude ticket were he at the Picnic. Cheers guys

    Mine hasn't been taken yet either.
    The last time it was a few days after the supposed date, so i'd imagine it'll be done by Friday.

    There is some nice acts on the Bestival line up I wouldn't mind seeing at EP. Animal Collective, Bicep, Damian "JR.Gong" Marley, David Rodigan, Richie Hawtin (last time he played was 2012).

    My last payment was taken on Monday too.
    I'm assuming they will send the tickets out soon too.

    Where did he play then?

    I don't enjoy when a techno dj plays after a band...where would be good for him now? He's too big for the woods and or casa bacardi.

    Kalkbrenner was competing against Julio Bashmore in the Little Big Tent, but I chose Kalkbrenner myself, I didn't regret it.

    Chemical Brothers should be a strong possibility (if they're not booked elsewhere). Played longitude here last year (I think) and Latitude in the UK last year. New album and all that....

    Better off if Chemical Bros. didn't bother. Herr Kalkbrenner on the other hand...

    Did those of you who's payment was taken for the installment plan get confirmation from Ticketmaster or Electric Picnic or do you just know it was taken by bank balances? My final payment was supposedly taken Monday but I've gotten no confirmation, that being said got no confirmation for the last two either :rolleyes:

    No confirmation from either, just saw the €106 Ticketmaster.ie charge on my account.

    The queue at Pink Moon last year was an absolute disgrace. I was in it for about 3 hours on the Friday.

    Yeah i remember seeing the queue on podpads side when we came in for Pink Moon. We will be there earlier this year. Think we got down around 1.30 so will try and get there earlier this time.

    What time was that at when you arrived?

    I'm not entirely sure, but I think it was around about 1/2. Certainly long before the post-work crowd. They had separate queues for Podpads I think, but the organisation was so bad that they didn't tell anyone that until they'd already been standing in the other queue for a good 2 hours already.

    Hopefully they've sorted it out this year, but I can't imagine this is the first time it's happened. Thankfully I'm in a campervan this year!

    Ah right. Yeah we came in and walked straight up to the Pink Moon counter with just 1 person in front of us, so we weren't waiting long at all, but the queue was long enough for Podpads, but wouldn't have thought it would have been 3 hours, mental!!

    Would it be likely they are holding off on an announcement until after the Foals gig next Wednesday. Wishlist of head liners and possibles are FOALS, LCD and NEW ORDER.

    Would also love to see Richie Hawtin back along with Matador, and having missed out on Massive Attack and Moderat tickets I hope either are added.

    Think Massive Attack could be very likely given that they've started touring again. Saw that the Chillis are headlining Reading and Leeds maybe a slight chance of EP or would yous say they'd be too expensive?:rolleyes:
