First time ever leaving a festival early but it is what it is.
I loved my time there. Because the headliners were very underwhelming for me it meant we just kept walking and finding.
I have a heavy heart knowing what I'm going to miss but 2 days are better than none.
Keep going people...keep going

Thought ATCQ last night were fabulous, really stuck a finger up to those writing them off as headliners. Though shame the weather was absolutely awful during their set, the sound mixing on Q-Tips mic was way too low, and whoever was in control of the live video ought to be ejected into the sun.

Today is a hellish sauna of a day. A shower would even be a waste of money as it'd be undone in minutes. Tomorrow's shower is going to be absolutely transcendental though.

Yeah any of those corporate places showing the match does anyone know?

Crowd of about 10 ppl ejected from site few mins ago. They were being frogmarched down to main entrance as I was passing heading to trench town. Dunno what the story is

I've had two already today. To quote the great don Logan "I'm sweating like a ****"

F*** Pete Tong - it's all gone King Kong!

Line of the weekend! Savage at the Electric Arena

NegativeCreep · 03-09-2017 04:17PM

Left this morning as I don't want to see any of the bands that are on today. The rain last night and the muck this morning were the straw that broke the camels back and sent me packing. I'm glad I tried it but I know I will never go to another outdoor festival again, I don't enjoy them! London Grammar and the xx were the highlights for me. They were amazing and I was right at the barrier for both!

We booked into the Maldron portlaoise. 150, not too bad. Just drove there from the site with our tent and had a shower and watching the game. Bus shuttle back after, handy out.

Can't believe the rubbish on here over last few days, just back after two nights of solid entertainment, great value for money. xx, London Grammar, These charming men, otherkin, Declan Mckenna, Annie Mac, jagwar ma, riptide movement, divine comedy, the strypes, birdy, madness, roadhouse doors, frank and Walters, Interpol plus mindfield, throwback stage all for €200, and some clowns on here moaning about it, unbelievable.

Thanks to Mr Kiwanuka. I've decided I am now a black man in a white world.

Stillill42 · 03-09-2017 06:51PM

RTE's coverage was total muck, seriously I don't get the whole Other Voices thing, so people like to cram into a tiny venue (intimate me hole) when there is so much more going on in bigger venues across the site but no, RTE force feed us some crap from that stage.

I really can't get over how terrible those two clowns in the RTE studio were, I was hoping for a lightning strike.

The very first thing they feature when they went on air was festival fashion - I rest my case.

scruff monkey · 03-09-2017 08:16PM

Seriously. Why bother watching it. We all k on how bad their coverage is from previous years.

It is known.

I was pleasantly surprised to be honest.
