pothead pixie Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Well if everyone has stopped discussing the 2012 events which I might add is still the current year, I might as well start an Electric Picnic 2013 thread too, will update around the starting of March 2013.

Shanndy Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 I'll be there again for my 7th Picnic Thinking that Depeche Mode will be there, maybe Blur if they play Reading/Leeds, can't think who the Saturday dance act will be, although theydo seem to rotate Orbital/Basement Jaxx/Chemical Brothers. Maybe Daft Punk if they are touring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snipe Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Not sure if I could trust them to pull something good off with all the fighting and talk of slashing the budget. There was transcripts from the court case in the Sunday Times but it is a Murdoch paywall so can't link but it really sounds like a mess. The quality of the webpage they put up doesn't ease those fears and they've had to start new twitter and Facebook accounts as the passwords for the old ones were held by the original director. They'll have to pull out all the stops tomorrow and address concerns rather than pretending they don't exist to regain my trust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtourette Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Wow I had no idea about any of that. Sounds like the original owner sold his soul to the devil and now has realised that he doesn't like the terms. If FR booking bigger, more commercial bands (which are presumably more expensive) is causing financial problems then I can understand his point, if he's just pissed that FR are having to book those type of bands to sell tickets or capture those bands for multi-festival deals and it's taking the festival in a different direction that he wanted then he needs to man-up and realise that's what happens when you sell a majority stake in your festival to a major corporate festival promoter.Has the festival been struggling to sell out in recent years?

snipe Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Think 2008 was the last time it sold out in advance. They've always made it sound like they've only had a few tickets left in any announcements regards tickets on sale at the door of the event after that but I'd imagine that was nonsense based on the reports of losses that came out in the court proceedings.

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 She never does on a tour, She basically tours the album and the gig will have mostly stuff from that album with a few favorites(pagen poetry, hyper ballad etc).

snipe Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 There are trains and coaches from Dublin too. I've used these guys the past couple of years and they are fast and slightly cheaper than the national bus company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electro Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Ok seems like i'll be heading to this for the 3rd year in a row.. Anyone think that they will have other big names added to the lineup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigI Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Might be in Dublin when this is on. Anyone know if travelling from Dublin for the day is easy? Also, anyone know when the day splits are likely to be announced (I know headliners have been split already, but what about the rest?). Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Liam Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 There's a bus to Stradbally. From there might be shuttle buses depending on the day. Or a Taxi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
