Oh no! feck that! I'm way too old for that craic too. I never make it til after 2 AND I'm turning 31 on Friday so definitely past it at this stage.

Rubbish. I'm 50 in a couple of weeks, and I'll be at Daft as Punk on Friday. I'll be in a heap come Sunday night for sure, but most definitely not past it.

benny79 · 29-08-2016 03:47PM

There's no Sunday day tickets anyway!

Never admit to being a lightweight. You're simply 'discerning'.

Just seen EP reply to the campervan/ caravan query on FB:

'Hi you must have the correct ticket for the type of vehicle you will be bringing into the festival site: the options are campervan or caravan & car. These tickets are not interchangeable on site'

And the lad writes back 'Whats the difference, they all go in the same field'

Why dont the two of you meet and swap? You know, to be on the safe side?

My approach is to smile broadly, and if asked say "Sure I sold the caravan and bought this instead." failing that ... "The wife and kids will be down tomorrow, they will skin me alive if I don't get this thing parked tonight". If that doesn't work .. "sure I'll just park with the caravans so". Failing that .. "did you find that machete as you were searching me van buddy?"

strange not having someone like LCD on last on the sunday

MadYaker · 29-08-2016 04:12PM

LCD are headlining so what's strange about having them on last?

I had to powerwash my boots to clean them off after it. at least EP won't be as bad!

Only been to Glasto once. Was there for 5 days. Will never forget the moment I took the wellies off (just before boarding a bus out). Think they had been welded to my feet for almost the whole festival (including when I was asleep).

Took a while for the welts to disappear from my shapely calves

i mean having Lana del ray close the festival on sunday night is underwhelming. usually get near enough the biggest act on the festival in that slot.

Think it's just that usually the headliner does the 10 - 1130 slot, but Blur were on late last year.

For anyone who's interested glass animals are just before joey bada$$ on the Rankin's wood stage Saturday so there's a very good chance of seeing this live

Gone again. Happens every year that a handful go back on sale, think it's non-payment of instalments

Is PabloAndRoy bothering with an android app?

There is a shuttle service running from portlaoise station to stradbally starting at 12.30 on thurs- will be dropping at staff camping (i believe!) €5 p.p. Martleys is the company. They run the shuttle from friday for the public

There's nothing else.at.all.

Does anyone remember what the temperatures were last year at night? Trying to find a site with historic forecasts but with no luck. Basically looking to find out if it will be freezing again...

Peterd66 · 29-08-2016 07:49PM

Minus forty thousand.

It's always baltic at night.

Last year was particularly baltic though. 2014, I remember dancing to Chic in just a hoody...2015 I came out of Elec Arena after Roisin Murphy looking like Michelin Man
