    That FJM Car Seat Headrest clash is a killer. 2 top 5 acts there for me.

    Who are you booking with? Marathon coaches dont ask for a certain time on the way back if I recall. Either way nobody is going to leave you stranded in Stradbally. I didnt follow any of the times for any gigs hahaha, never an issue.

    On the way in and back its a case of getting onto 'the next bus available'

    Do you think anyone makes their arranged bus on a Monday? :pac:

    Honestly I wouldnt worry - sure last year they werent even checking us getting on the bus, they were just letting anyone on.

    Booked two tickets anyways. won't make that one but be grand.
    Was 23 left now there's 17 left, selling quite quickly by the looks of things.

    Is there a restriction on the size of bag you can bring? I got a huge 100L bag that fits everything I want. Just want to make sure they won't take it off me

    Hi Guys, I am driving from the south east but do not want to end up in the green car park like I do every year and face the dreaded walk from there to Charlie Chaplin, any suggestions on a route that will lead me to the Red car park? Cheers

    bag restrictions are just for the main arena though i'd expect they'll have a good root around in something that size at security on the way in

    Saturday night looks great. Mura masa, ATCQ and Interpol/Pete Tong all one after the other. Friday and Sunday don't interest me as much but I'm sure I'll have good craic.

    The xx/Bicep and Duran Duran/Kiasmos clashes are a real kick in the stones

    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.

    Chin up, Seathrun. Booka Brass at 4, Harvest at 6, Talos 6.40, half an hour of Neil Hannon on Main Stage before being blown away by Young Fathers, wind down after that with a bit of Soulé in Other Voices or alternatively Jerry Fish's party with RSAG, Bantum etc. You're on your own after that. I'm pretty happy with Friday.

    Saturday's not working out badly at all for me. Touts, Paul Kelly, Declan McKenna, Everything Everything, These Charming Men, Mr. Jukes/ Interference, Frank and Walters, Perfume Genius, Public Service Broadcasting. Looks doable.

    Sunday's a clash fest but should still manage Aaron Lee Tasjan, Margaret Glaspy,Lemon Twigs, Real Estate, Band of Horses and Car Seat Headrest.

    New Valley Wolves and Clockwork both playing at the same time on different Body and Soul stages is a good way to start Friday. Klark Cant's sci-fi style techno (?) is quite enjoyable too for afterwards. Then on to Young Fathers. TBC.

    I've ditched the Franks for Japandroids.

    Delighted Japandroids are in a tent at that time. Should blow it apart. I had fears they would be a 2pm slot.

    Def not worth €65. We got it as part of our Podpads booking last year and went over for a nosy.
    Just a bar and good toilets and few "celebs" floating around, that's about it. Not worth the money if you are thinking of paying for it.

    Yeah I agree. Raging the xx are clashing with bicep as London grammar > the XX > bicep would have been an unbelievable run. Wish the EA went on later on the Friday. Hopefully something good going on in the trailer park to keep me ticking over until New Jackson.

    Thanks for the app Pablo, it's fantastic.

    Does anyone know if the Mind Field stages will be added to clashfinder? Few I want to see in there and add to my app. I'm scared to sign up and update clashfinder myself :pac:

    Possibly a dumb question with a very obvious answer, but I'm seeing a can limit of 48, but no mention of spirits. Would bringing a litre and 1 slab of cans in be grand, yeah?

    Handy for sheltering from the rain. Not worth paying for.

    Two (related) questions...

    1) Is the Global Green Village Hall a new thing? Don't remember hearing of it before...

    2) Anyone seen Robot Rock do their thing before? Wondering should I check them out during what is likely to be an extended wander around the place in a state of complete clearheadedness and sobriety honest after midnight on Friday
