Just needed Benny Hill music playing at the bottom of any little hills.No weather can be as bad as that year. Please.

Setting up our camp chairs & watching people trying to wade through the off camber hills was nothing short of hilarious. People linking arms thinking it would help was the best. Falling like dominos!!

A couple were stopped just after the entrance, near us & you, clothes all pristine clean, she was crying and he was repeating "it's just weather!" while trying not to laugh At another point we were getting some food in the swamp hell that was around midnight circus, saw a very clean girl in a fancy white shirt fall backwards off a picnic bench and squelch in to the mud bath below. She found the funny side to it

It has been a little quieter than it was last year At the moment, my list of acts I want to catch is: Friday: Campsite banter, Sing Along Social to kick off the main area fun, AV AV AV, Magnier (House Of Disco), Mango & Mathman, Panthu Du Prince, Fever Ray & Olof Dreijer. Saturday: Elaine Mai, Gus Dapperton, Saint Sister, Arca, Jon Hopkins & Fever Ray. Making sure to catch the Mother DJ's close Reckless in Love as their closing sets are generally amazing! Sunday: Lankum, Suzanne Sundfor & a lot of the Maeve lads in Reckless in love. Looking forward to getting lost and stumbling along some gems along the way.Is it too early to suss the weather radars?!

Of course this is a rough idea, plenty of clashes so not well though out, if anyone can fix my clashes that would be sound haha Any advice as to another acts to see, especially on Saturday where I have a six hour gap would be great as well

Fatima Al Qadiri and Tshegue are too close to call but Fatima Al Qadiri is a bit more interesting IMO. Again, they are not complete clashes so you could ditch Al Qadiri for Tshegue. Would definitely pick Fever Ray and Olof Dreijer over the other two. Fever Ray won't be playing again whereas you can find one of the Kitts playing in Dublin any time. The main stage is pretty good during the saturday afternoon. Pillow Queens, O Emperor, Barq and Saint Sister, though that may be a bit too guitar/singer songwriter if you prefer the more electronic acts. Think I'll go for Smerz instead of Shamir, it's a toss up between Gus Dapperton and Baxter Drury (he is Ian Drury's son after all) and between R.S.A.G. and ARCA. ARCA seems more worthy, but R.S.A.G. looks like more fun. As for Jon Hopkins v Tank and the Bangas, that's easy for me as I just don't see what's so special about Jon Hopkins. But I accept that other people do, so I can see why it's a toss up!
