Pair of gloves for holding your frosty beer can at night.

In addition to the usual essential toiletries, Dioralyte

You may get some strange looks in the shop, but definitely bring black sacks and duct tape! If there's anything that needs to be kept dry, or anything that needs to be fixed on the spot - they're all you need!

Before you leave, try put all your clothes into a black sack. This will keep them dry while you walk to the campsite or in case your tent isn't as waterproof as you originally thought.

Peterd66 · 10-08-2016 11:29AM

Seems to be a whole new set of stricter rules re campervans and caravans in comparison to other years and if enforced could lead to chaos!

"There must be a door that provides access to the living accommodation.
It should be a living accommodation vehicle with fitted sleeping facilities and either fitted cooking and/or washing facilities (A screwed in bed with a washing up bowl and/or cooking facilities would not be permitted - they must be fitted).
There must be a water storage tank or container on or in the vehicle, and/ or a permanently fixed cooking facility within the vehicle powered by gas or electricity."

"No tents or awnings may be erected in the campervan/caravan fields, for fire safety reasons."

"Please note for Campervan/Caravan passes the purchaser will be required to bring the original proof of purchase and supporting ID to site along with their pass. This is to prevent touting of Campervan/Caravan passes)."

Should be fun.

cruhoortwunk · 10-08-2016 11:33AM

Can you get into the standard campsites with family camping ticket?

I hope this is enforced, serious chancers selling €80 campervan passes for €300+.

Might fûck over genuine resales though.

Why we don't have the "transfer tickets" feature that ticketmaster US has I do not now.

Borage/Starflower is good one to take before drinking to prevent/help the hangover too.

Hey all- any ideas who is headlining/ playing each day yet?
You folks on here have been pretty good at calling this each year so far

I am pretty sure that those are pretty much the same as last year. Definitely the awning one was there last year .. not sure about the id/proof of purchase.

eh ... not quite .. fire regulations are the real reason that you must have 3 metres between campers. Plenty of room for our awning which will definitely be going up.

Yes, that's the line-up at the beginning
Most years (round about this time in August) some wise folks in the know let us know which headliner is on Frid/ Sat / Sunday etc
Usually through the powers of deduction after looking at the other festivals taking place in Europe the same weekend
Festival #6 in Portmerion is usually a good primer
Anyone?

PabloAndRoy · 10-08-2016 12:06PM

We are definitely underestimating the importance of the Surf Laundry announcement...

The eye-catching colouring walls are a first of their kind for Irish festivals, and will offer visitors to the Surf Laundry Club the chance to take a moment away from the busy festival and bring the joy of colour to life.

EP, as always doing the good stuff first.

It's like something from /r/nottheonion.
