Think of the craic in the mornings though, nothing like waking up, grabbing a can and getting straight into it.

I'm thinking of maybe just camping the one night and hotel one night and head home on the sun when it's over. Camp site is great craic but at the mo it's just me and my brother unless we can find more people to go ha ha.

Why don’t you try the Kip n go thing so, tent setup and taken down, think it’s in a quieter site as well.

Yeah I was actually looking at that. If we decide to sell pink moon I think we'll get one of those and then maybe accommodation one of the nights if we can. Just trying to work it all out. 600 is a lot to spend on a tent between 2 people so if we can't get people to share we will prob sell it.

Ah that's a pity, it's really shite when people bail at the last minute, especially something like a festival.

Anyone know roughly what time taxis are available outside until when the festival closes at night time?

Half thinking of selling our pink moon and getting accommodation somewhere if possible. Not sure what to do though. In 2 minds at the mo.

If your staying in Portlaoise,Martleys do a shuttle bus ,that leaves on the hour till 4am,I think,they pickup outside the train station as well,really handy it is

Thanks a mill. A lot of the hotels seem to only have a 3 night stay over that weekend so I need to double Check if it's possible to try get one or 2 nights.

I’ve stayed in Athy before, cheapish (price hike) & bland B&B where sharing a room with a pal meant it was approx €135 each for the three nights. Taxi took 15 mins to Stradbally & cost €20 each way. Often others around to share costs.

Thus less than €200 for the weekend and cost of breakfast saved. At the festival that’s roughly €10 every morning. And having your own shower is pleasant. Still prefer camping though.

I was told a few months ago that Prodigy were playing and reiterated from same person a number of times since then. I said a few times on here that was the case. I've no reason to doubt this person who is close to the festival circuit. My understanding is they are playing the Saturday.

So maybe its Friday they play Home Festival, thats listed as 31st Aug 1st Sept, although in the Prodigy's Facebook page its listed as day 2, the Saturday.

If staying in portlaoise markets coaches run every half hour until 4am €5 each way. Excellent service

Think of the cottonmouth we'll be experiencing exactly 5 weeks from now after overestimating our alcohol tolerance levels.

Graham1978 · 28-07-2018 06:59AM

I’m camping at the minute, hope we don’t have night like last night, tent and gazebos will be flying everywhere. Nuts how quick the weather can change.

Keeping it PG this early

Bryan Ferry and band were sensational last night in Trinity, albeit in the weirdest and wildest of conditions.

He's at Standon Calling tomorrow then the next leg of his tour kicks off in Croatia on September 5th.

Last night's show would be perfect for the Electric Arena.

Good to hear. Would love him back at EP anytime. Caught his set st Glasto a few years back and far superior to Roxy’s one at EP in 2010. Wish I’d made the trip up last night.

No down camping with the kids in Redcross . One festival a year is enough for me

erica74 · 28-07-2018 05:56PM

I suddenly just got very excited:D

BadTurtle · 28-07-2018 06:41PM

Too much information.

ghostdancer · 28-07-2018 06:42PM

looking at who's playing R&L the weekend before, Electric Fields the same weekend, and Festival No 6 the weekend after, I could see a few of these being added as they have free dates:

Leftfield (free Friday only)
The Horrors
Public Service Broadcasting
Everything Everything (playing Indiependence next week, but gap for the whole EP weekend)
Death From Above
Gaz Coombes

hoping for Slowdive too.

Would love to see PSB missed them last year

LFC CONNAUGHTON · 28-07-2018 09:17PM

Slowdive would make up for the late announcement BS. Fantastic live.

Slowdive and PSB and I'd be happy ðŸ˜Š

BadTurtle · 28-07-2018 10:35PM

Death from Above, Leftfield and Gaz would make it an A lineup for me

declanleo · 28-07-2018 11:15PM
