Electric Picnic

Did you have the kids with you? If so, fair fucks. Had my 9 year old daughter came down with me Thursday night to help pitch the tent. Ended being loads of walking as i had to get a guest wristband at a certain gate. Of course she had no socks on wearing her wellies. Que blisters and moaning.
She was supposed to come back down with me on the friday to see Zara Larsson but she passed. I didnt mind :laughing:

Nah, never brought any kids along. :sunglasses:

Don’t know how people do it with kids. Ive being at loads of EPs but i still get a bit disoriented in there with the crowds coming at you at all directions at night. Not to mind the portaloos with kids etc

And of course it’s lovely and sunny and not raining now that I’m back home. :roll_eyes:

The only mention of EP on RTE Six One News was that Fontaines announced they are playing Slane next year.

I’m surprised they didn’t have anyone down there in a jolly.

Miriam was there mate

Would there actually be many adults at EP. The lineup always looks like it is targetted at teenage girls.

Zara Larsson
Amble
And a load of acts I never heard

Never been to it but the All Together Now festival seems to have far better lineups every year. EP probably grand if you’re a local but I’d say its murder to get in and out of.

I’d say she was at one of those Mindfield gigs, I’m sure I’ve seen here there before.

I think she was, don’t think she was working for RTE

The Minister of State had a class time

That bum sir neale should’ve been run out of there

Miriam is like Cena, I see a lot of parallels. Carried the company on her back after Gay Hogan died, PK split and Stone Cold Ryan Tubridy took his ball and went home.

The pictures of the aftermath in the campsite are something else… whatever about leaving your tent - i believe they get donated… but the rubbish just left fucked around the place says a lot. Would take all of 5 minutes to put in a black bag.

I attended in 2007 and I’d guess there was 35k to 40k in attendance. Grand and chilled out.

Met a chap yesterday who guessed 100k poured in over weekend and capacity was stated as 80k?

It’s a Gen Z Oxygen now.

Half that crowd not even going to stages… sitting in the campsite all weekend taking drugs :grinning:.

Arra… whatever about letting loose… but fucking your cans/bottles/food wrappings all over the place is disgusting.

Yoof innit!
