Hi all

What is it like entering without id? Ill have a photocopy of it with me but really dont want to bring my actual passport with me and dont have any other id. Do they check everyone going in or is it a case of youre only stopped if you look u18?

Just bring it. Show it,put it in the bag and if it's missing when you get home so be it. Don't get turned away because of no id

Hi all, travelling from Dublin tomorrow. I usully get chucked into red car park but really need to get to green car park as staying in Pink Moon. Can anyone tell me which way I need to travel? Which way do I need to come in??

Thanks in advance!

From Dublin to EP on the M7 (as far as I can tell) Exit 15 will get you into green, and exit 16 and 17 will get you into Red.

It's not that big of a deal really but it makes sense to get the entrance nearer to where you'll be camping. The eternal struggle to get the gear in is always the worst part!

Got most of the gear ready I think! Time for some ZzZ before a nice breakfast and sneaky road trip down

My plan for acts

Planning to be down for about 10.30.

Going to kick off the festival in Trenchtown as I normally do before heading to Booka Brass on the OV stage. Get the cans/smokes in.

From there:
17:00: Search Party Animal (B&S Main Stage)
18:00: ABC (Main Stage)
Will probably break for food/pint/head to the Hot Press chat room at this stage.
20:00: Talos (B&S Main Stage)
Quick pint stop before:
21:00: Todd Terje (Electric Arena)
Another pint stop and possibly a bit of Kojaque on B&S Bandstand if I've time.
22:45: Super Furry Animals (Electric Arena) - seen Chems last summer but may change my mind on this depending on my mood and head Chems.
I will then probably check out the new Red Bull stage OR go to El Grey on the B&S Bandstand.
01:30: Mothxr (B&S Main)
02:30: All Tvvins (B&S Main)
Depending on my state at this stage I may head over to Anachronica before curfew for a bit of dancing.

Saturday:
Usually start my Saturday hungover chilling out in Body & Soul so it's gonna go something like this:
12pm: Ailbhe Reddy (B&S Main stage)
Some kind of lunch
13:20: Flecks (B&S Earthship)
14:00: Elephant (B&S Main stage)
Will then have a wander around the tents in the main arena. I want to catch Pleasure Beach (Cosby), Brian Deady (Rankin's Wood), BarQ (Little Big), Girls Names (Rankin's Wood), Hare Squead (Little Big) so will move between these acts as I build up the courage to start drinking again. Will get some pints into me before:
18:00: Glass Animals (Rankin's Wood)
Will hopefully catch some of Rusangano Family in the Little Big Tent at this stage but if not I'll grab a pint and head straight to:
19:30: Jack Garratt (Electric Arena)
Will break for dinner and more pints after.
21:30: Mura Masa (Little Big)
22:00 John Talabot (Rankin's Wood) - Sacrificing The Shins here, am normally in a way more electronic mood at this stage but we shall see at the time.
00:00: LCD Soundsystem (Main Stage)
After LCD it'll hopefully be Daniel Avery but if that's too jammed I'll be off to Toby Kaar on the B&S Earthship.
03:00 Plutonic Dust (B&S Main stage)
Will catch the end of Le Galaxie Soundsystem on the way back to the campsite then.

Sunday:
Sunday is very up in the air, depending on how written off I am and the mood I am in. I have to navigate the Wild Beasts / Savages clash and I'm likely to pick Pantha du Prince over Lana. I'll likely spend the morning/early afternoon in B&S before catching Sample Answer and Local Natives. A lot of Sunday will more than likely be spent in Trenchtown and if I haven't managed to get to the red bull stage by now I'll try to do this on Sunday too as I'm interested to see the setup. I also wanna catch Oh Wonder, **** Robot and Nao and I'll likely sacrifice New Order for this (as I've seen them this year already). I'll be finishing the festival with Overhead, the albatross if I make it that far!

a reminder just came up on my phone for a conpany meeting today and it was very satisfying to click "dismiss"

latest GFS weather runs have the worst of the rain in the south/south east coast for Saturday, probably missing Stradbally. still be rainy, but not torrential hopefully.

Good morning all from EP..! It's a little damp and overcast here but grand!

Oh weather is damp here in stradbally but yesterdays wind has died and it looks likes the sun is breaking through ...Not as warm as previous days but you expect it to be a little chilly on Sept mornings I can see it being a lovely afternoon ...

The last few nights here in Laois have got chilly enough so bring warm clothes !
