Picnic elettrico 2025

I wasn’t asking for much. But spending a bag on getting the 2 johnnies instead of like, an actual musical act, is pissing me off. Call me a begrudger or whatever. I feel like the saw doctors covers that kind of vibe already though either way.

I actually don’t mind the headliners too, feel like it’s the best of the past few years.

If you get the chance, definitely see David Gray. He’s incredible live.

I saw Chic there before, they were brilliant too. Nile Rodgers worked with everyone, including Madonna, Sister Sledge, David Bowie and Daft Punk. Those songs get thrown into the set.

I’ve never bought a ticket to see Nile Rodgers and Chic play and yet have somehow seen them live about 20 times. They’re always playing Ireland festivals and gigs for whatever reason.

Pretty decent line up. Some top quality stuff in there! 

Festivals have never been my thing, prefer single gigs.

That said, I was Forest Fest. this year for the Saturday and was class. Will be going next year! 

Maybe I’m old but would Sam Fender be bigger than Fatboy Slim? Had never heard of him until today.

Black Country New Road must have fell off pretty hard to be that low on the bill. What happened to them? Seems like they were fairly big a few years ago.

They say the festival is getting more expensive so they can’t budget for better artists but they also keep increasing the prices on tickets, on vendors etc.

It’s all one big money grab.

And in fairness, we don’t give them any reason to not skimp on acts seeing as it sells out in advance every year.

Makes ATN’s lineup look positively amazing in contrast.

Didn’t know Bell X1 were still going.

Suki Waterhouse? *Her?*

Hilltop hoods, I am sure the time many Irish spent in Oz have made them more popular here. Random one.

Highly recommend seeing Viagra Boys if you’re going. They were brilliant in the Olympia a few months back. Seeing footage of them playing “Research Chemicals” at Glastonbury a few years ago got me into them.

Every time I look at this line up I laugh a little bit, and reminisce on the line ups of the past that would actually be worth today’s entry fee.

I’d pay 250 quid and fill out all the paperwork to have The 2 Johnnies deported to another planet though.

I’m surprised kneecap are so far down on the billing

For all the flak I’ve given EP the last few years (only because they’ve moved away from my demographic), I could still make a good weekend out of that lineup to be fair
