Maybe a good excuse to meet up for beers and go exploring other parts of the festival, there are more stages than just the three and some lovely chill out areas.

I'd be doing that anyway but it's nice to have options during the day. Plus, it's a bad look to have feck all happening on three stages for long periods. Creates a slightly depressing vibe imo.

Oh, great! Discovered his album last summer - it is excellent! And yeah, he has an interesting life story & does good things.

Hi asking for a friend who won tickets to ATN… Extra Caravan and campervan ticket passes going in sale Thursday. How much should she expect to pay?

Paid €99 - plus €7.55 "Ticketbastard" service charge - for Level 1 CV ticket back when they originally went on sale.

Not sure what Level / Tier they're on now and what impact it has on price.

What is the story with getting a high demand ticket on ticketmaster these days?? The last two times I went for campervan tickets it said there was availability....go to purchase get the "something went wrong screen" and keep getting stuck in that merry go round.

I think that was the app on my phone....am I better off just going via the website? The waiting room thing, what time does that open?

Jesus i feel so bloody old typing this....

Some people get success using the app alright, make sure to clear the cookies are cleared and be logged into your account before they go on sale.

Literally sat there watching the countdown timer, clicked search for tickets, none available. Oh well ill find a van pass on toutless i guess

crl84

I got one at 8:58 on the TM website. Not sure how long before that they were onsale, as I just went to the main ATN page, clicked find tickets on the campervan option, and it loaded the page to buy.

That's the way she goes. Sometimes she goes, sometimes she doesn't go!

Probably a very small amount of them were available. Nice to see a bit of buzz about them anyway.

RINO87

Any updated playlists with the new additions?

I'll take credit for that one 🤠. I remember recommending their EP from a couple of months back.

Get where Dreamweapon is coming from. I'm a big fan of the early starts to music like they do at BTP (or Glastonbury…😍). Possibly something they should feature more in the drive for BTP ticket sales really and less focus on the early finishes. I've wandered about around at 1,2,3pm with my other half looking for music at ATN and it can be slim pickings at that hour whereas you could be on your 2nd or 3rd band at BTP (last year certainly). Get the feeling lots of folk are waiting around a bit too. Surely plenty decent young, upcoming Irish talent could fill these early slots that otherwise don't get a run out at the festivals. I'd be happily in a tent at 1pm with an IPA in hand anyway!

As for Sing Along Social…I'm an introvert and a bad singer, so even the thought of it, main stage or otherwise, fills me with a dark, creeping sense of dread.

Quality shout out that one. Was listening to them last night. Great booking for ATN. On the must-see list.

For sure. I've been purposely avoiding their live stuff on YouTube....don't even know if they have any, just haven't searched, as it sounds like their live set up could be really interesting!

any tips for someone bringing 2 boys (8&10) and an 9 month old baby …and no need to tell me I’m mad, know that already.

Have weekend camping tickets and considering splashing out on one of the cheaper of the pre-pitch/glamping options

It’s a last hurrah before the missus goes back to work and I’m also excited at the idea of bringing my boys to the Prodigy nearly 30 years after I first saw them

They do. More Khruangbin than Goat i.e. slick & smooth rather than distorted and raucous. Which is what you'd expect in fairness, going by the studio material.

Have u family or general camping ticks?

If its family then ur kids will have more fun than in glamping so save ur money

If its general I'd advise swapping for family

Brought my kids to festivals for over 15 yrs and don't regret a bit of it - enjoy

Doc07

thanks , yes it’s family camping tickets we have

Was wondering about this - can you get pre-pitched in the family campsite? We are coming home on hols this summer and adding in the festival so don't want to be dragging tents around with us. It seems all the pre-pitch tents go to a certain camping area but surely they offer them in the family camping too?!

Thanks for the info re glamping v family camping area- did not want to fork out a load of money and then realise my kid would have been way happier in the family area with a crappy pop up tent!

grudgehugger

I'm reasonably sure there's no pre-pitched tents in family camping (I've been to ATN twice with my kids, stayed in family camping both times and definitely recommend it but it means bringing your own gear in). I would deffo do family camping if it all possible.

Kids area within the festival grounds is pretty good - they usually organise a football game if your kids are into that, there's been graffiti to try out both times and there's various fun games for kids to play. And bubbles - everyone loves bubbles! And the bubble people come to the family campsite occasionally as well.

Other hits with our two boys last year (12 and 8 at the time) were Greencrafts (especially the blacksmith) and the bumper cars. Much to my disappointment, neither of them too interested in the music as of yet but they did really enjoy the weekend wandering the grounds and getting fairly spoiled at the various food stands!

They enjoyed Iggy Pop from a distance and loved their night-time trip on the big wheel as well.

Something like this likely needed for the baby, and maybe for the older ones if they're sensitive to noise. https://www.sensationalkids.ie/product/ear-defenders/ .

Hopefully you have as much fun at the festival as we did - even if we're REALLY looking forward to an adults-only run at it this year!

Feel free to PM me if you want more tips on kids/babies at festivals - we've done more Body and Souls as a family than I'd care to count - both kids were at Body and Soul before their first birthdays!!! Madness indeed but lots of moments we'll always remember :)
