Which way do you have to approach to get into the GREEN car park? I'm in Pink Moon camping so want to be close. Cheers

That seems to be a matter of luck and timing, i've wound up there twice, both times i was down quite early.

Just wondering what to expect in the way of tracks from Young Fathers. This is the most recent setlist I could find, Dour, festival in Belgium about a month ago. I'd be delighted with this next weekend. Only John Doe missing from my wishlist.

I thought it was if you came from the other side to Dublin you got directed to Green?

This came to mind when I heard Jenny Green and the RTE concert orchestra was doing a history of hip Hop.

There are now 8 areas outside of the main arena.
Trenchtown
Salty Dog
Other Voices
Anachronica
Hazel Wood
Transmission
Red Bull Sound Dome
Art Lot

This is great as it'll help spread the crowd.

Best of all is i can't see Elites on the map or the legend!

They are there alright they will be called Logic, John Gibbons announced that he was doing 3 nights for them

That's the one

damn, was hoping to catch it there this year. will head down to Mindfield although the tents showing it there are usually rammed from what I've heard. saw the football in the Gaeilge tent a few years ago and could barely see the screen.

Not worth going to the Newstalk tent in Mindfield unless you're there an hour before the game. Also if you go out to the toilet you won't get back in unless you sneak in under the tent covers as some youngsters were doing a couple of years ago. Better off walking the 20 mins to the Stradbally pubs I reckon.

I come from the Limerick side, usually get into red car park? Is the green car park not just up the abbeyliex road from the red car park? Id suggest coming from Portlaoise if that is he case... but as has been said, it's all timing. The early entry passes could throw a spanner to the testicles of the situation.

davew121 · 25-08-2017 09:09AM

My sister is driving down ahead of me next Thursday I dont have room for her in my car/caravan, we are staying in the campervan site do you think she will be able to park in the Yellow carpark thats the closest so she can wait at the gate for me to jump on board then?

****e!
I haven't been in a couple of years, but I watched the game on a big outdoor screen when I was last there. I'm guessing this was the e-lites/logic area that's now gone?

Hi all, my sis is coming from the Carlow direction and is staying in the Pink Moon. Obviously the Green car park would be ideal for her but can you drive straight through the village to get to it from the Carlow side or will she be diverted down to the Yellow car park.

thanks in advance.

Drive through the town.
If they try sending you a different way, tell them you have to go to Portlaoise to get some stuff, and then just turn off into the carpark (off the main road) on the other side of stradbally.

Everybody is off having "I forgot to bring the tickets" anxiety dreams.

I have a recurring dream/nightmare that I'm down at ep and I don't have a timetable and I keep missing gigs I want to see.

Me and the misses live in Aberdeen at the moment so living with constant "forgot to bring the tickets on our flight over" fear!

Johnny boy85 · 25-08-2017 09:42AM

I'm staying in the boutique area, trying t plot a course to the yellow car park, i think if i drive from Dublin to Timahoe and head to Stradbally from there, i'll get there, has anyone any tips on this?

Think it might be easier to go down the M9 and turn off for Athy. Athy to Stradbally brings you in the right side for the yellow car park me thinks.

Think I went from Vicarstown to Stradbally via the R428 last year.
That's my plan again next week.

EDIT: Actually, looking at my Timeline on Google maps, I went via Athy.

eoghan18 · 25-08-2017 09:57AM

Can anyone mark roughly where the Red Car park is on google maps. I can't seem to figure it out. It's my third EP but have gotten public transport before this year.

I'll do that so, did you just take the road from Athy to Stradbally then? i went from Athy last year and ended up in Green (which is what i was looking for).

Make sure you take the R428. That will mean you get to the south end of Stradbally and can then turn left onto "Court Square" road.

All makes sense when you look at the roads on Google maps.

What's the best route from Dublin to arrive in the red car park? Want to camp in Joplin or Chaplin.

Don't mind all that. The factor 50 and three pairs of shades are in the case. The raincoat and umbrella are out.

bodhrandude · 25-08-2017 10:21AM

For a few seconds I thought I was seeing things in my Facebook feed posted by Rocky Electrosoul, the Arcadia lineup for EP then I spotted the year, 2011.

Would love to see that again.
