Guys would anyone be able to tell me roughly where volunteer/crew camping is? Is it far away from everywhere else or is it grand??

Probably the Body & Soul crew camp, anyone involved with B&S gets their accreditation there too, you drive through Stradbally and you turn right at the Richard Dunne pub I think, drive straight up until you see the sign for the GAA area, normally there is always a specialised security guy there too, bright yellow day glo at the turn. Thats into the crew camp and car park, there will be more security and stewards further in to direct you. When you are parked up and tent pitched or campervan set up, you walk out the other end up another road which is mainly for resident and festival security vehicles only. Cross the main road and you go through a gap in the wall through the forest called staff entrance, Body & Soul staff dubbing it Hole in the wall entrance. Festival Republic volunteers, my crew get to stay in the Body & Soul crew camp for the advanced weeks duration, quite a lot move on into the Hendrix site on Thursday night, but you don't need to do that. I stayed on in the crew camp and it was great, could be a long walk back at night but it was grand if you were flying anyway.

The last time I saw Shane MacGowan was at this festival in 1993 called Fleadh Mor in Tramore Racecourse in Waterford.

Aaaaahhh I think thats the one I bunked into back in my younger days. Remember seeing Bob Dylan and thinking yeah so glad I saw this.

Looking forward to these guys

About a 30 minute walk

VIP and Guest used to be slightly different, i think these might have changed so im not sure it will be the same set up as previous years

No prob thanks! I only ask because it's my first year going, it says 'performer ticket' was just wondering what that entails. Thanks for the help

Does anyone have an idea where I'd get a cheap camping chair in Dublin? Argos all sold out

Home store sold out of those super quick

still no official confirmation of The Coronas. wonder if they'll be announced (possibly with others?) or just thrown in when the times are released....

They have announced on their own Twitter that they're playing.

none from EP is what I meant, they've announced plenty of other acts individually over the last few weeks.

Question for you lads, has the Red Bull bar in the main arena always been there or is it a new addition this year? A couple of friends are DJing at it over the weekend and just wondering what to expect as I've never even noticed it in the past two years. Looks to be beside the Casa Bacardi.

it was there last year, i didn't go into it but it's on the 2014 map and i saw a few photos of it on the Red Bull site.

Cheers lads got the camping chair sorted in eurogiant.

For anyone who didn't manage to get the power bank in aldi, eurogiant have a few different sized ones I picked up a 7800 mAh for €15 and they have a 10000 mAh one for €20. Few smaller ones available too!
