Electric Picnic

Why could RTE not show some of it. Would cost them fuck all.

Leeds are going to win the league?

Lewis Capaldi and Kneecap in Vip area. Lewis going on stage shortly.

They used to about 10 years ago. But they’d show us some random fringe group instead of the Box Office acts that the public actually wanted to see. Glastonbury on the BBC was always much superior coverage.

Falls during holiday season in Montrose unfortunately. If it was on in Roundstone, might have aome shot

If the totally awesome Uaneen Fitzsimons had not been heartbreakingly taken away from us by a car crash in Co. Laois she would be leading RTE’s coverage of this event in Co. Laois.

Events have consequences.

Would cost a whole heap.

The production costs to do it live would be quite significant. Then you could be in a situation where you have to pay rights for individual artists, etc. Be more expensive than an All Ireland final I’d say.

TG4 are showing EP footage - looks like whatever sets they covered were as Gaeilge but looks like an hour of Kneecap there - negative just a few tunes and an interview along with a load of other bands.

It’s already ten times the coverage of any previous rte effort. Ireland AM’s Siomha doing a good job holding it together.

The Kooks, I owe you an apology. I wasn’t familiar with your game.

Must be unreal waking up there today after 4 days of taking drugs.

I’ve been in some heaps in my life time but surely nothing comes close to the scenes you’d see today.

Garda Ronan Maher is patrolling the campsite kicking lads out of tents as we speak according to my sources on the ground.

Kicking lads on the ground? Bit of a waster of garda time I’d have thought. Surely they could have found a local fella to do that ?

EP has always been a lovely carrot for Gardai on overtime.

Same for things like the Fleadh.

I’m disappointed in you mate…

He’s not the only intercounty Tipp Garda in there. A noble county for upholding law and order

We are the home of the Force.

No point in winning back-to-backs. Enjoy it when you have it.

Great to see. Who was it wouldn’t let the cup be brought to pubs again?
