Woo hoo got my loyalty ticket today, roll on festival fever.

[Babyquack]

Just trying to figure out here why you can only buy day tickets for the sunday? and why would anyone do this now as I cannot find any info on who's playing which day, so how'd you know if you're seeing Portishead or not?

Went last year and going again this as it was super last year

Capacity I guess it's around 30,000-35,000

The festival vibe is quite laid back, the crowd last year was a bit diverse as there were some teens but I think the majority of the crowd were 20s and early 30s.

However last year the line up was a bit different from previous picnics as there were more acts that attarcted the teen crowd, such as Disclousre and TDCC but this year the line up is more back to roots of EP so I guess less younger crowd

Apart from the music on the main stages, there's a lot to do and ther's also late nght entertainment at the body and sould and rave in the woods so you can keep going untill the early hrs of morning

this'll be my 3rd this year, and the crowd would be very much laid back and friendly...

in the previous 2 years i haven't spoken to anyone who has been robbed or had anything stole ( that's not to say it does'nt happen, but if it does there's not much of it)

seriously if your looking for a warm friendly atmosphere give it a go.... i'm just back from glastonbury this week and i have to say the crowds are very similar

[pothead pixie]

Well that is Longitude nearly over and on its final day, normally Electric Picnic makes an announcement after that has passed, so hopefully we will see a fresh injection of names, not that I'm knocking the line up as it is, but now that the price has risen to 230 odd euro they will have to have a few fresh names to sell the festival out.

[gerardfenton18]

Tickets arrived on friday..... shit just got real!

[H.M.V]

I reckon the next annoucement is imminent.

how easy is the commute from dublin airport? any help would be brill

Theres buses every twenty minutes from the airport to the city centre and there should be festival links from Dublin or a direct bus to Portlaoise, from Portlaoise town you can get the festival shuttle bus, check Bus Eireann.ie, Citylink.ie. I hoping some electronic acts might still get announced, hoping for Moderat anyway. Some interesting ones they could get for the Red Bull Rave in the Woods stage would be Daniel Avery, James Holden (He had to cancel his Body&Soul festival appearance because the airline he was travelling with had lost his synthesizer), would also love to see Jon Hopkins again and Darkside too.

EP has increased their capacity by 6,000, so now the full capacity will be 41,000 people. http://www.irishtimes.com/blogs/ontherecord/2014/07/29/no-subject-to-licence-palaver-for-electric-picnic/

[A-Rob]

James Holden will be ace in the rave in the woods, I also hope for some of the following Nina Kraviz, Marcel Dettman, Andrew Weathrall, John Talabot, Ben Ufo, Paul Woolford

I don't like the increase in capacity, I think at 35K was the right amount for the festival as increasing people will mean the stages getting more busy and overcrowding
