Agreed. At London Grammar. Much more subdued

Lovely lovely noise but too many goddamn yappers

That lasses voice is pure bred sexy times for my ear canals

Young fathers were blistering. Like a feral massive attack being humped by a bag of spanneres.

Ha, yes...if anyone matches that it's a good weekend. Incredible.

Hey folks does anyone know the pickup times tomorrow night by Marathon Travel back to Dublin? Their website only states Sunday pickup and I assume if you buy a return ticket they'll bring you home Saturday too?

Anyone has any info would appreciate it.

Madam Oblong · 01-09-2017 11:41PM

Maybe it's the weather but it's already shaping up to be a fantastic Picnic. Highlights today for me were Talos, Telephone Explosions, Soule
and Young Fathers. Fab atmosphere and variety of music. Body & Soul still my overall fave area

scruff monkey · 02-09-2017 12:42AM

Night cap, brush teeths and then bobos for a tired cold monkey.

LFC CONNAUGHTON · 02-09-2017 01:37AM

Anyone else find the sound mixing brutal for Young Fathers?

moonshadow · 02-09-2017 08:19AM

Morning campers let's roll

Stillill42 · 02-09-2017 09:34AM

Booka brass, Harvest, bit of Talos, bit of Divine Comedy, Young Fathers plus 3 lunatics on a little stage in Body and Soul that were like a young Pavement. Oh and DD Allen on the Salty Dog. All brilliant. Cracking first day. I love this place.

Yeah, it was a bit off but feck me, did they power through.

Kurtosis · 02-09-2017 09:48AM

Savage first day. Booka brass to kick things off, then Harvest for a bit of Neil Young. Young Fathers were bone-shaking, fear-inducing, but seriously good. Really enjoyed London Grammar and the xx on the main stage, both know how to put on a fantastic show.

Finished off the night with Otherkin on the Salty Dog - serious fun, highlight had to be the lead singer repeatedly going for a crowd surf. Would definitely suggest checking them out today, they're playing again at Rankins Wood at 4.

Easy Rod · 02-09-2017 10:16AM

Sounds like a lot of us were on the same schedule last night. I had wanted to check out talos for a while and they didn't disappoint.

Villain · 02-09-2017 10:38AM

Nice and chilly night, got down to 3.4c at my station in Tullow, thermals were required

Still expecting any real rain to arrive around 6-7pm, Met Eireann updated warnings still exclude Laois, the heaviest will go south of Laois but still expect significant rainfall. Don't be fooled by the nice morning, Winter is Coming, sorry rain, rain is coming

scruff monkey · 02-09-2017 10:42AM

The xx were alright. Bit of a short set for a headliner I thought.

The breakfast of champions today. Two coffee. Two muffin. Bottle of Tropicana. 1 neurofen and a banana

Seathrun66 · 02-09-2017 10:59AM

Harvest & Young Fathers excellent. Caught half of The XX & far more impressive than I expected. Pogueology also great until the stage collapsed, no surprise with 250 people in a room built for 80. Ships also good.

Disappointed by most other stuff (London Grammar, New Jackson, Vince Staples) but what a great feeling to be back.

And it feels busier than last year. Have they sold less Sunday & more weekend tickets?

Was this in Jimmy's Juke Joint? I passed it this morning and saw a lot of it was cordoned off with a lot of woodwork going on - wasn't sure was it just in keeping with the Trailer Park theme.

Yeah. Garda shut it down when side of stage collapsed. Luckily no-one hurt. Was rammed there & when they played Sally Maclenane that was it for the flooring.

Pink moon entrance still hasn't opened. The foook is going on

Got sent around to salty dog entrance and spent about 20 mins in the slowest queue known to man. 1 security lad at the top doing everything short of a cavity search while all the other queues moved at 3 times the speed.

Recommend the Lovely sausage egg and bacon baps at the grill place near rankins wood

PabloAndRoy · 02-09-2017 01:41PM

My app keeps crashing. I have no idea why, but go into airplane mode and it works again. Then you can switch back.

Corholio · 02-09-2017 02:03PM

Anywhere to listen to it live today on radio? I know RTE are showing it later in the evening, but any radio station live from there throughout the day?

I'd imagine today fm or 2fm would be your best bet? Both have a vested interest in the festival.

Stillill42 · 02-09-2017 03:03PM

Jesus. Anyone at Touts? Fecking amazing. Really loved them.

NegativeCreep · 02-09-2017 03:24PM

Not really much to do today. No one that I want to see until around 7 and I've already walked the place a hundred times. Feeling sick from how cold it was last night too. Not impressed!

gazzer · 02-09-2017 03:29PM

Anybody know what happened with Hot Dub Time machine in the comedy tent last night. My said he would be on at 8pm but when I went down it wasn't on.

gazzer · 02-09-2017 03:31PM

It was frickin Baltic here last night. Coldest I've ever been at any EP

Saw them at a different stage later in the night, was looking for them too
