Electric Picnic 2018 (1 Viewer)

yeah, something like 35,000 for the weekend and another 20,000 sunday tickets. EP is a load of my hole.

absolutely. load of absolute shite. over priced, over crowded and full of people i love to hate.
worst line up ever this year.
i really enjoyed the first few years when it was about 10k / 15k people. close to 20k is too much for me. not enjoyable at all

 

[ernesto]

no, no. the link below my comment there is for all together now in waterford bank holiday august. im sure the EP is the usual 50,000 people having purchasd tickets based on having seen no names in the line up

ah i never clocked.
yeah looks decent and not a bad line-up.
just not enough to sway me.
10,000 people is perfect amount of people for a 3 day festival

except that there appears to be sweet fuck all irish bands announced.
at least its not the usual predictable irish bands crowd like Le Galaxie / coronas / riptide movement etc...

"legends"

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

The word legend has absolutely no meaning anymore.

 

[therealjohnny]

Just as every female singer is a "diva", every old band that are still going are "legends"

Legendary diva brings her iconic show to Dublin, where she will perform her seminal top 30 hit.

can confirm.

The word legend has absolutely no meaning anymore.

Paul McCartney was once married to a living leg end and well as being a living legend.

I was at it, the cover band I'm in was playing the salty dog. It's v crowded compared to years ago, and didn't see anything mind-blowing, though Dua Lipa and Delorentos were very good. Still had a really good weekend, mind you

No offense egg_ but I don't see any reason for a cover band to be playing at one of these festivals.

all new music is microtargeted to only be liked by a few thousand people worldwide and if people want to have a good time together they need something everyone knows. Cover bands.

 

[therealjohnny]

Folk and roots type bands, blues, and ska, reggae etc tend do loads of covers. I think there is some wiggle room there. If it was just a guy with a backing track doing Oasis and The Galway girl I think it'd be an issue.

 

[Anthony]

I suppose. I'm sure there's tons at Glastonbury and any enormous normie party like this.
