kelly anne byrne's got a great pair of tits though.

boom, just got myself a Sunday ticket! a nice halfway house between staving off this bad dose of the FOMO and not wanting to go because of terrible lineup/potentially bad weather

forgot to post this from clashfinder premium, it's the counts of highlighted acts:

Load of double bookings and wrong people in wrong tents in the two man tents section.
Sh1t got real for about 30 secs so the blue crew came in to say "ah lads" and everything calmed down...

I think we've had the best of a bad situation - the really bad rain bypassed us, the heaviest rain we did get was early in the morning before people could churn up the main arena, and the weeks of previous dry weather have left the ground hungry. Hopefully it stays dry at midnight, can hear the LCD sound check all the way in Campervan site and its sounding excellent!

MadYaker

I haven't slept, lying in my tent listening to LCD Soundsystem sound checking on the main stage :pac:

Queen-Mise

Ryan Sheridan was good. Wouldn't be a fan, lots of people loving him.

ABC were actually good. We were having food in stands and ended up there for ages, sitting in the sun watching people. Some of the dress ups are fantastic.

NAS was brilliant. Had the crowd in palm of his hand. You really could tell he was touched by the crowd's reaction, especially when the Ole started.

Jenny Green and RTE Orchestra, now that was special. It was just so good. I loved Children when it came on.

Todd Terje - really does have a lovely sound. A nice atmosphere in tent.

The. Chemical Brothers were good. The lights and images were amazing.

Wulff were playing in Oxjam. That is a band I like. Really do have a great sound.

Kurtosis

Great night. Jenny Greene and the RTE Concert Orchestra were fantastic, and the place was absolutely rammed. Also got a double dose of brass (Booka and Stomptown). Was waiting for All Tvvins to start, but they were late so I headed for the tent.

Hope this rain clears up for Trinity Orchestra!

I like all tvvins and liked the cast of cheers, but I did find that standing around on stage smoking and drinking and fiddling about for 30 mins before they started to be a tad pretentious, especially considering the late slot they had. Left early myself as I was exhausted

Broken Social Scene were glorious.

Plenty of rain this morning in most areas including in Stradbally at Electric Picnic.

The main band of rain should clear about noon with a mix of scattered showers and maybe even some sunny spells then. A risk of heavy thundery showers from about 4pm to 7pm, winds not too strong and up to 18c.

Tomorrow looks mainly dry during daylight hours but sadly there will be more rain tomorrow night from about 8pm for a few hours.

Next week then is looking mild above 20c with mostly dry days just some showers.
