    Definitely Gold Panda. A thousand times Gold Panda.

    Maybe Spiritualized on will be having a good day, but maybe they won't.

    For those who have been other years, are you given the times/programme on the way in? Or do I need to take them from home?
    Didn't get anything last year. Print 'em off yourself is the best bet. Also once you get in the revised time table (to take in to account delays/cancellations) is put up in the information cabin somewhere in the walled garden, near the house/castle.

    Gold Panda based off his latest album, although he's clashing with Villagers for the last half an hour, I'll do 45mins of both depending on how good GP's set is.
    Django Django could definitely be worth a look judging by their album.

    Kormac's Big Band is getting a lot of recommendations for their performances. I'm intrigued.

    Also if you arrive on the FRIDAY, B&S said they'll be giving out schedules at the entrances. Gonna webtext the times to myself in case that falls through.

    Excellent. They are an amazing live band alright, I'm only basing the "maybe not a good day" off the gig they did at Other Voices earlier this year. I'm not digging the new stuff at all but maybe I just need to give it a proper listen.

    I thought that was pretty good on Youtube at least. They were great in Vicar St.

    It's a shame they've only got an hour, though that's to be expected at festivals, I guess. I'd imagine we'll get a similar setlist to Primavera, which seems pretty good.

    What is drainage like on the festival grounds? Is it welly territory after a few days rain or does the ground absorb it up well like it does at Electric Picnic?

    I remember 4 days torrential rain before last years EP and yet, there no need for wellies at all.

    Last year there was a big rain leading up to the festival. They dealt with the mud by laying down straw everywhere. It worked amazingly actually! The only place it was a bit muddy was in the forest but that's to be expected. The ground on the camp site is nice and solid and flat.

    I see Handsome Paddy is down for Casa Havana on Saturday - I doubt he'll play as his laptop & all his gear was robbed at No Place Like Dome - bad buzz, although I read that there'll be a fundraiser to help him replace the equipment, he'll never get all his tunes and stuff he was working on back...

    that is f*ckin depressing.

    he should get a sticky put up on Boards in the equipment/bands section - if there isn't one already.

    I'd imagine it's out beyond the main entrance, which looks like quite a walk to the Nightowl campsite..

    Does anyone know from previous experience if there is access to the quiet and not so quiet campsites from somewhere else or is the main entrance the only way in to everything?

    I was hoping to able to leave a good bit in the car but going by the map trips from the camp to car could be a good walking distance.

    I do! That would be perfect, PM me.

    And if anyone else is looking for a one way ticket from Dublin to the festival, my boyfriend just needs the return to Dublin on Monday morning as well, let me know!

    E-mail from body and soul:
    Campers will be glad to hear that the grounds at Ballinlough are dry underfoot and the weather forecast is good too! It will be dry and partially sunny for the remainder of today and tonight. It will also be dry and partially sunny all day & night on both Friday and Saturday for tent pitching and exploring all that Body & Soul has to offer. (ref Metcheck.com)

    Who are they kidding? :rolleyes:

    Anyone know what the story is if you want to get a bus back on a different day than you'd first intended? I have a Saturday-Monday bus ticket, but I may have to head back on Sunday night. Reckon they'd just let me on one of the Sunday night busses if needs be?
