    If anyone wants to get a bus to Body and Soul from Cork city or knows anyone that does, could you/they please email info@buseireann.ie. This will encourage bus eireann to put one on,

    Cheers;)

    Did you hear back from Bus Eireann by any chance?

    Emailed them a couple of days ago about this but haven't heard back since..

    Didn't realise there was a body and soul festival thread and posted a question in another thread but would like to get opinions here from fellow festival goers.

    I would love to go to this festival but no friends are available to go with and just wondering if I should go anyway on my own.

    What do you think about going to it alone? Even doing the camping thing? Am female by the way and fairly easygoing, no problem chatting to strangers and meeting new people. Anyone else going to it alone this year?

    I'll be going it alone too. Haven't been to this before, just EP but line up is so fantastic I don't mind going alone. I'm female too and I'm sure it will be fine, especially if you're on for meeting up with new people.

    Hey guys, does anyone know if Bus Eireann will let you get a single bus ticket returning from the festival? We're getting a lift from Limerick on Saturday but need a way back to Dublin on Monday morning, don't fancy paying €30 for one trip!

    Hey Altrok and Zhora,
    I'm going on my own too....well almost, I've a little person coming too so we'll be camping in the family campsite. Do you fancy catching up once we're there? We could meet up for a coffee or a jar and say 'hi' at least that way we know someone else who's there.
    PM if you're interested and anyone else too.

    Hi all,

    Does anyone have a link to which acts are on Saturday and which are on Sunday (and maybe the times that they will be on)? The official website just names the acts.

    I need to leave on Sunday eve to be back for work on Monday and hoping I won't miss the acts I want to catch i.e. Gold Panda, M83, Hollie Cook, St. Vincent,

    Thanks a mill,

    Thanks for the map GD.
    Do you know where the carparking will be?
    I'm camping in the Family Campsite and am wondering how much of a trek it will be from the carpark to the family campsite.
    Thanks :)

    Festival's not in meath is what i was pointing out. Forgive me for wanting people to know where they're going, not practically where they're going.

    We're done here.

    i don't, sorry.
    the map will be a bit different this year as there's a new stage at least...
    at a guess, i'd say it would be up near where Gate A is as weekend campers have to enter through that so they probably have the carpark close to that...

    was planning to get hotel/b and b accomm anyway but its looking a bit late now and there isnt anything around. there is loughstown holiday village however about 10km away. These are houses that accommodate six people. we're a couple so didn't really consider it yet. would anyone be interested in house sharing for the weekend? prices are 489euro. I'm sure taxis etc wouldn't be an issue to get to the venue. Have tried ringing but no answer

    Tis getting worrying alright. I'm all for positivity and will go and have fun regardless, but I've camped at one too many soaked Irish festivals at this stage. It's been raining every single day for the past few weeks, or so it seems anyway.

    FRIDAY: Breezy, with any rain giving way to sunny spells and scattered showers. Max. 14 to 17 Celsius, in a fresh west to northwest wind.

    NEXT WEEKEND : Early indications are for a good deal of bright weather, but with scattered showers. Temperatures around normal, or a little below.
    feck it, i'll take that :pac:

    They search you going in to the main arena but after the main stage finishes you're free to bring cans in.

    You'll have no bother going to the main campsite. I believe it's only people from family that can access that, but anyone with a family wristband can go to the other campsite(s) if they choose.

    i know times are usually not until the week before, but i've no idea why they're haven't even released day breakdowns yet if they're selling Sunday tickets.... :confused:
    i know a few people who are thinking about going on the Sunday but are waiting to see who's on what day. a few others have already decided not to bother at this stage as it's too late to organise...

    They gave a fairly intensive pat down on the way in last year. They were also fairly strict even if you managed to sneak drink in. Security were confiscating cans off people inside the main area last year, so it might be best to pour cans into a pint glass when inside.
