    I use this app for weather week in week out for golf, it is by far the most accurate of all. It matchs Met Eireanns forecast too so I would say its rock solid :cool:

    Disappointed with King Kong Company's time slot.
    Although them being on at 15.30 on the busiest day will see them getting a huge crowd in EA.

    Also Pond being on at same time late night slot as Soulwax?
    They would have been perfect on at late afternoon.

    Japandroids / Floating Points
    Kelly Lee Owens / Car Seat Headrest
    Interpol / Tiga
    Clark / Sunil Sharpe
    Soulwax / Kiasmos

    nothing too bad I suppose.

    Kinara Kitchen - Pakistani food is great.

    Wok n Roll was great last year - huge box of noodles

    Was also recommended Saba for this year

    I use YR all the time and find it the most reliable and accurate. The Met Eireann Rainfall Radar to back it up as well.

    Where are Band of Horses, Daithi and Birdy? I can't even find Daithi listed anymore, was he ever performing or did I dream the whole thing?

    Madness/ Michael kiwanuka is a bit ****e and I think TCM will be missed, doubt I'll go out after madness to come back in for band of horses.
    I'll just have to kick teenagers by myself.
    Madness are playing the Saturday though not the Sunday

    someone is updating it at the moment, Electric Arena added but a few mistakes though.
    I'll try update/correct it later if they don't finish it.

    Aye and Elbow and DJ Yoda at the same time too.

    The rest of my weekend is light on clashes but that is 4 acts at the same time.

    My dope of a brother evidently...

    Got a replacement sorted, have it in the mail by tomorrow thank god. The guy on the phone had a little chuckle at my story. Was surprisingly easy and only a 6 euro fee.

    Anyone else find the Friday lineup a bit Meh?

    I'd earmarked about 25 acts & only one (Young Fathers) down for first day. Still, gives me time to check out bands I'm not impressed by (The XX, London Grammar, etc) and hoped to be proved wrong. I'll more likely be propping up the bar though.

    Exact same for me, Young Fathers and Divine Comedy are the only ones I had to see and of course they clash. I'll let the bar prop me up instead. Saturday I dont think Ill have a spare minute and Sunday is just a clusterf*** of clashes.
