Im going down on Friday morning but i havn't looked at the list yet to see the times, cant view the website in work. I wanna see Mogwai, Jape, Give a man a kick and Redneck Manifesto after that i`ll be happy to stroll around and have a look at anything. I am getting excited now though. Just looking at inflatable matresses in Lidl, they have some camping gear cheap this week if anyone needs some stuff.

there are apparently a few extra tents - the big tree stage (damien rice's stage) and another stage (radiator are providing some of the acts), but i'm not sure if they'll be on the main line-up... anyone any clue? on the EP board they name off lots of bands playing both. should be a some mad feens hanging out in the less well known sections...

Gnarls Barkley has had to cancel their appearance at next weekend's Electric Picnic festival at the last moment. Due to non-stop performances for the last 3 months, Cee-Lo has put a great strain on his vocal chords and has been advised to cancel his next 5 shows or risk having more extensive problems.

Doesn't bother me really, couldn't care less to seem them or not but they say they're having problems finding a replacement ..... Paddy Casey anyone What it will probably mean is that two other acts I wanted to see will clash now, will have to wait for the timetable I suppose. These last minute cancellations at festivals are becoming quite popluar

Yet another cancellation?? Hmmmmm. An already weak line-up is looking decidedly weaker. I can't go this year but the only essential, unmissable act on the bill that I'm missing is the peerless Mogwai.(No Matter, will see them at Royal Albert Hall in 4 weeks!!!!) Will watch on the telly! I think they will have to really pull out all the stops to improve the line-up for next year if EP is to survive in already overcrowded summer festival calendar. They need some major league headliners: this year they should have got Depeche Mode for saturday and Daft Punk to round things off on Sunday.

Basically, a lot of bands I want to see: Tapes, YYY, Rufus, The Boy least likely to, Tilly and the wall, Rapture, Archie bronson outfit, Massive Attack, Pj Harvey, Antony & the J's, Bloc Party, BSS, jIM nOIR, Jape, King Creosote, Russian Futurists, Long Blondes, Coldcut, Hot Chip, Elbow. That will do me nicely! There are also some more like New Order and The Ricer, how can you say that this is a bad line up.

nice thing about Belle & Sebastian is they mix up the setlist, like the Ambassador gigs earlier in the year, they played very different setlists both nights.

ah bummer radiator tent is cancelled, thats a great opportunity for irish bands, pity its gone.

got this in the mail there too, ill just cut n paste the press release (which is very press releasy). never been up in a balloon myself, but doubt id be doing it later in the day n missing out, no doubt someone would be interested though. quote: Free hot air balloon rides with Virgin Megastores Virgin Megastores will be giving lucky festival-goers a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience the highs of Ireland’s only boutique music festival with a birds eye view of the beautiful surrounds of the Stradbally Estate. The lucky patrons will get an electrifying ride in their very own Virgin Megastores hot air balloon, which will be located by the main arena. And the good news gets even better… the rides will be completely free of charge! The rides will be available from 11am-1pm, 2pm-4pm, and 5pm-7pm each day of the festival (weather permitting, times subject to change). Spaces are limited and patrons will be accommodated on a first come first serve basis. And what's more, Virgin Megastores are giving you and 3 mates the chance to win VIP tickets to next years Electric Picnic and a camper van for the weekend. Terms & conditions apply. Details to follow at a later date.

why are there only ever buses going from dublin to these things??????what about cork, now i have to get up at 6:30 in the morn to get the aircoach at 7 to be dropped at some place called 'the heath' in portlaois, and find my own way from there...sigh.if ANYONE else is going from cork and has room in their car pleeease let me know..anyways mostly looking forward to saul williams,the rapture, antony and the johnsons, tilly and the wall, mogwai...and thats about it

eh mar, you might be better off getting off the aercoach in abbeyleix and getting a taxi across to stradbally. the heath isn't much use as you'll have to try and hitch from there which could be tricky. you could have a nice pint in morrissey's in abbeyleix (really nice olde-style pub) and ask there for taxi/cab numbers. enjoy!

That Virgin Megastore Balloon sounds great, I guess queues will be massive, don't think i'd queue at the expense of missing bands though. Mar: You can get the aircoach to Portlaoise, taxis from Portlaoise to the EP seem to be a standard €20, there are shuttle buses running to the site from Portlaoise train station €7 each way. There is a private coach running from Cork to the site but it is a bit pricey at €60. Alternatively a return train ticket Cork to Portlaoise is €45.

Shame about the radiator tent. there will still be some independent bands playing the festival, such as neosupervital, Tadgh Cooke and ourselves, Delorentos, in the Big Tree Stage. Not sure if the times are going to be on the offical program, so we're on at 3.15 on saturday if anyone is interested. enjoy the festival!

Its not like having a festival in June guarantees good weather! (flashbacks cold, wet and miserable Saturday at Oxegen and biblical floods at Glasto last year) Apparently the problem this week is that around Wednesday timeframe we are getting hit with the tail end of tropical storm Debbie bringing wind and rain but maybe that'll have cleared off by the weekend. In reality we'll probably have to wait until at least Wednesday for a more accurate forecast, i've my fingers crossed.

"Orange Alert" is probably their most high profile track, and its brill Modeselektor - One of many fantastic artists on the Berlin based electro/techno label; bpitchcontrol. http://bpitchcontrol.de/artist/2/54 No idea about the rest, to hell with being "in the know" anyway, I know what I like, if someone turns me onto something I like, all the better, but this "keeping up" lark isn't worth the effort.

Francois K is a super cool dj that has played at studio 54 and paradise garage way back when. A lot of people are very excited about his appearance. Tiesfwar are ok, double dj act, but they've played here a few times this year so wouldn't be too pushed on seeing them. Fish go Deep are dj duo from cork, or at least became well known in Sir Henry's for their set. Bodytonic and sterotonic run nights in Rogue. really good promoters. SFA bingo, no idea but super furry animals perhaps?

it's being policed a bit more vigourously this year. The DS are going to be there from thursday, there's a court on site for summons's and stuff, and secret shoppers are trying to snuff out anyone selling illicit booze. So be vigilent. But ignore me, i'm just a moany cassandra. It'll probably all be grand.

Yeah it says on the site to be carefull about buying tickets as all tickets will be scanned on the way in. As for parking i parked in there last year and there was no hassle and no ticket needed. Is this through about the drinking stopping at ten??? Someone told me a good idea was to get a 2litre box of wine and take it out of the box and place it in a handbag, they generally only feel the bag and you have your wine for the day. Last year my girlfriends bag never got searched so we just brought in our own drink to the venue, the security seemed really nice aswell, all from scotland i think.

Depends how you look at. Means that you haven't got a hope of getting in with a fake ticket. Knowing that, are you willing to buy a ticket off a tout that may or may not be legitimate? I'm not. Which may result in less business for the touts thus less touts buying tickets. Hopefully. I really like the line up, good mixture of bands.

I didn't get searched once last year. Every time their was a break between acts I'd go back to my tent, fetch two cans and stuff them into the back pockets of my jeans. Then I'd simply tie my jumper around my waist to conceal my cans and walk back into the concert area. It worked every time.

sorry but would pet shop boys not be playing the main stage rather than the electric arena? are the stages mixed up? not a personal view as to they should be playing main stage rather than the YYY's but just punter numbers i thought would dictate they play the main stage, especially given the size of their show? getting more excited, now all i need is a ticket!

3 Day Weather Outlook: "The weather will continue very unsettled through the rest of the week and over the weekend but overall mild a lot of the time with temperatures probable a little above normal. Mild on Thursday night with clear periods and showers. Windy on Friday with sunny spells and scattered heavy showers and after a mild humid start it will turn cooler and fresher as the day goes on. Becoming wet Friday night and early Saturday through Munster and Leinster with widespread heavy rain for a time but brighter elsewhere with some sunny spells and scattered showers and brightening up also in the south and east during the afternoon. Becoming humid and close on Sunday, there will be some dry bright periods in places but overall a lot of cloud with rain at times much of it light." Ponchos all round then!!

Whats with all the special guest stuff in the Big Tree tent no doubt it'll its like something from eyebrowy.com, heres glen, kitser and damien.....I presume Swell Season is Glen with your one from the solo album? I see Paul Noonan is also doing a solo set, does he have solo material?

yeah doubt that very much, according to the timetable sent out by Electric Picnic there is no replacement just an act less on that stage and it finishes earlier. It means Pet Shop Boys and Yeah Yeah Yeahs now overlap the two acts I most wanted to see, damn Gnarls Barkly

Its gonna be well worth it, i sat in last night and went through the acts i want to see on friday and saturday and i think friday is gonna be the best line up i have ever seen with my own peepholes. I thought i had found a space in the schedule for food but then i realised Warlords Of Pez are playing:-(
