Thumbs up The Mac to play Ireland's Electric Picnic

I got a call from a friend today to say that in an Irish Times article today, the Mac are set to be among the main acts at the Electric Picnic festival this year...

I think I need to go and lie down for a while....!!

Yes, there are. ... now, if they could make it to Germany too I'd be even happier. Ireland is pretty good though.

I hope they do some normal tour dates as well because the tickets are pretty pricey...

Likely to go up to €220 this year.

This is alot. Especially if you're only going to see one band. I never really like the EP line up either so it seems like Fleetwood Mac are the only band I'll be going to see. Might get a family ticket and take my daughter and nephew. This news has put me in such a good mood. However, there has been nothing formally realeased by Aiken Pro. yet..

Well, they sold out the Point both nights last time, but with the new design of the o2 and its larger capacity that might not be the case
I loved the Point venue, I really hope they haven't messed it up in this renovation!

They were here in November 2003, and Stevie's been here solo.
I'm seriously excited. Electric Picnic isn't the usual mental festival vibe. It's much more peaceful, surrounded by woodland. Truly magical

Sahara-Unfortunately, the 02 has changed the beloved Point quite dramtically. The sound quality isnt as good as it was. I know that's to be expected with a much bigger venue, but I've heard reports that if you are unlucky enough to be far down the back, then it's a strain to find out what songs are being sung, especially quiet ones. .. Gah, I loved the Point aswell. Hmm, maybe they'd chance the RDS?

really? woah i must have some selective amnesia with those dates
maybe i just didn't hear anything about it
i know i saw the pics from the UK show


hmmm woodlands
i bet that must set the mood

ARLENE........minus your gross humidity, the Woodlands was my fave venue in my Mac ventures [not Stevie]. and the crowd. i bet it would have been way awesome in winter
