so wait.. if you are coming from Dublin you've to go via Carrick-On-Suir but go to Fiddown then hairpin back to Carrick-On-Suir (on the other side of the river?)

There is no way they're gonna stop anyone from driving through Carrick.
Just take exit 10 off the M9. #begrand

From Dublin I think it's all the way down the M9 to Waterford city then across..

I just driven around the estate.
A bit of activity, but cant really see much as its completely hidden by trees.

I have my route done. its 11km as opposed to the 60km red route .

The blue route is much more handier to get to from all directions , but the Red entrance is a pain in the balls to get to if you are following the Festival route map.

Thanks that makes sense. Their diagram was hard to read with the dashed blue and solid blue.

To save yereselves time, get off the M9, head for carrick. Well signposted.
When you get to carrick , head for Dungarvan on the R676 .
the turn off for the blue car park on the R677 is about 3km out of carrick,
then another 3km drive down the R677 to the festival car park. simples

Are these definitely correct? I was under the impression that Roisin Murphy first and then Mura Masa was correct. Same with Black Madonna then Horse Meat Disco. Someone commented on their facebook photo yesterday and they said these times were correct. These are also the times listed on the website now.

Okay. Just looked at the website and Mura Masa is after Roisin Murphy .. but Black Madonna is after Horse Meat Disco.

Clashfinder adjusted accordingly.

Ah ha! A local! I'm staying in a place in Gortrush, Greenspurs. Getting home in the evenings might be tricky. Don't suppose you have any local taxi contacts? I've been on to a place in Carrick but they're not filling me with confidence.

Ha, this is fairly mindbending...

The website is now saying Mura Masa after Roisin Murphy, but it was definitely saying the opposite previously. It does now match the images released on Facebook and Instagram though.

HMD and Black Madonna are still swapped - but on Facebook they've said that those times are right so Black Madonna at 12, HMD at 2...

It is a bit of a headmelter alright!! I messaged them on twitter to ask what the correct times are will let you know if I get a reply.

To answer your original question, it's a Heineken bar festival, so your choices will be at the bare minimum:

Heineken (and maybe Light)

Bulmers
Orchard Thieves (and Light)

And I think at the Malahide Castle concerts, if I remember right they had Cute Hoor too. Out of those, Heineken Light would probably the closest to Bud.

Isn't this Bulmers sponsored?

Looking at the Partners:
Bulmers
Five Lamps
Jameson
Ketel One Vodka
Beefeater Gin

In fairness, you can only say that this will save distance as the traffic plan might favour traffic from a particular direction and you'll end up waiting for a while.

Like coming to EP from the south used to be the fastest way into the car parks, but then they changed the routing and it was way slower.

Of course the opposite might be true and it'll be super quick, who knows!

Ugh yeah, the Bulmers vs Bulmers thing always catches me out.

Here, that last strikethrough was still accurate! Malahide Castle was a Heineken thing.

PabloAndRoy · 31-07-2018 03:11PM

Drinks are definitely Bulmers & 5 lamps.

At B&S, it was €7.20 a pint to make up for the fact that we can bring our own booze. I expect the same here.

Fixed .. still a bit misleading.

Its probably not too late to take your tablets today is it?

Jaysus. I'll be sure to bring my 48 cans so.

I hope not, I've to rush out and get more booze now so I don't end up having to drink that Bulmers' rubbish!

It was 6.70 a pint was it not? And then you'd get a Euro back on every 5 glasses or something?

rino87 · 31-07-2018 03:21PM

On the off chance does anyone know if we can take the Red Route to the Kelly Gate first, then proceed on to the Blue Gate/Ballyquinn Gate?

We are car-pooling and one of our party needs to check-in at the red gate, but we need to camp in general camping at Blue.

Now you have me doubting myself ... then again your a bit off form today ... Im pretty sure it was 7.20 and you needed 10 fecking glasses t get your €2 back.

Maybe the Heineken was 6.70?

I'm in the reverse boat, wondering what the answer is though!

The 2 gates are about 3km apart on the same road. I don't know if the road between the 2 gates is closed on the day.
If it was open it would make the traffic on the road up to the Red gate very heavy though, so for that reason they mighnt allow traffic through.

There are a few minor roads to get you back across to the R676 road though if they don't let you through.

MJohnston · 31-07-2018 03:27PM

As much as I like the look of this festival, you can definitely tell it's a POD thing rather than someone who actually genuinely cares about the attendees. Body and Soul will respond to messages and minor questions on Facebook all the time, yet there's not a single way to get a response from ATN.

Thanks, 3km can be walked handy if needed.

Can they not go in through the blue route with you ?
and then just walk across to the red campsite?
