Disgusted over the highly likely clash between king kong company and Lcd.

Speaking of which would anyone have a link to the clash finder at all?

Anyone fretting over this clash should probably go to LCD, KKC are an Irish band who regularily play gigs all over Ireland. LCD are supposed to be doing a full tour next year but there's no guarantee they'll play in Ireland again.

I have a caravan camping ticket and I'm bringing a campervan, will that be a problem?

Anyone else go up on Saturday morning? The weather forecast is giving me a downer and with the Fri Night lineup looking terrible to me I might go on Sat morning instead. Just wondering about getting a camping space and stuff like that

Weather forecast from accuweather is very good for the EP weekend? But predicting weather ten days in advance is even less reliable than trying to piece together the day-by-day lineup ahead of the initial announcement. No point making that sort of call until this time next week.

There will be loads of room in the Joplin and Chaplin campsites on Saturday, don't worry about that.

Accu is literally the only decent one though. Every other one ive seen gives pishing rain. And i know that its not accurate! But theyre bound to be in the ball park.

Anyone know if anywhere on site sells ice?

The spar shop by Hendrix camp site.

maximoose · 23-08-2016 01:07PM

Can only speak for Warhol campsite but there has been a stall there selling bags of ice for a fiver the last 3 years, one of those + inflatable bucket does the job.

DanielSwords · 23-08-2016 01:09PM

I see the off licence is now taking orders. 55 quid for a tray ain't cheap though. Anyone ever used it before? Does there be much of a wait to collect your drink?

LimboSlice · 23-08-2016 01:12PM

Cheers for all the replies! Was going to get cans of Coors from the offie down there, but then seen they want 25 quid for 8 of them!

Anyone still on the lookout, the flood of €250 tickets on adverts has begun. More and more every day now.

Wonderful, same as every year, hopefully the initial panickers will have held their nerves and not gotten screwed on prices.

MadYaker · 23-08-2016 01:15PM

We've been too lucky with the weather over the last few years, I reckon this year is definitely going to be a washout.

There is no weather forecast worth a flying fück this far out.

bodhrandude · 23-08-2016 01:20PM

If I get rained on, on my fifth festival this year I'm going to laser zap the clouds out of the fricking sky.

I used them in 2013, Was waiting about 2 minutes at 12pm on the Friday so early enough. In 2014 i bought one of these http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/folding-trolley-70kg-load-n48jq at half price. I brought 3 slabs on it (for 3 people) + bag and chair. definitely worth the investment as it worked out same cost for me. And cheaper for my mates.

I'd be more worried if Daniel Avery clashes with LCD, both look like they are suited to the late shift where ever they are playing.

Space Shanty · 23-08-2016 01:38PM

LCD probably won't be on until midnight...11.30 at the earliest.
I think some clashes people are worried about might not happen

250 is still a tenner over face value.

It is, but seems to be the accepted price by adverts mods.

Maybe they've dropped the prices of beer up there?!! I'd be shocked...

ghostdancer · 23-08-2016 02:12PM

probably selling some nordie cans they got on the cheap post-Brexit :pac:

It ain't cheap but it's not outrageous - for people coming on public transport it's a great idea.

It's listed as not allowed in the Ts & Cs but much like the question over whether tents are allowed, I just don't know if it's enforced. It might not be such an issue as a car plus caravan requires more space than campervan. So better than having campervan ticket and bringing caravan..

There is no such thing as a Caravan ticket for EP though.

BananaR · 23-08-2016 02:43PM

Could have sworn I read something about it yesterday in the Campervan and Caravan Terms and conditions, but conveniently this link is now not working! Might have imagined.

Blackie_IRL · 23-08-2016 03:02PM

Can anyone tell me if you can directly access the green car park from the red car park?

Yes there is, it was introduced this year.

Rigor Mortis · 23-08-2016 03:13PM

Whatever about the Coors and Heineken, that is a feckin shocking price for Desperado's - 4.10 per can. There is no justification for that.
