    No idea, but when my brother had a serious leg break we contacted the 3 arena and they arranged access to the disabled area for him( he was temporarily in a wheelchair)


    Can't hurt to ask, I'd include a copy of medical reports/doctors letter if ye have one.

    Was just going through the lineup and listening to some I hadn't noticed previously. One that stood out is Oscar Jerome... smooth stuff. Me like it.

    Added to itinerary first thing Friday, no clashes. Then on to Ghostpoet, The Go! Team, some Chaka Khan, some Mogwai, HMD/Toby Kaar/Black Madonna/Arcadia. Great start to the weekend.

    Those late night post midnight Friday acts/clashes are really something. There will be mighty good vibes coming from all corners of the arena, where to choose...!?

    Yeah was at sing along social at Body & Soul and it was great craic, really got everyone in the mood for a good night!

    Last year some legend made a printable timetable for Electric Picnic here. Does anyone know how he might have done it or how a similar one could be replicated? I would be willing to put in the work but my Microsoft Office skills (or whatever he used) are lacking :p

    Could you bring in a fold-up chair with you? I've brought them to the Picnic a few times and was definitely worth it.

    hahaha FAIR I deserve that :D

    What I really meant to say is, it being by a lake and all that ... is there going to be loads?

    I also live by a lake and the rain is keeping them at bay for now, but I tend to have (minor) allergic reactions to insect bites that I need to bring stuff for if there's going to be many!

    Currently having a lot of back issues but going on Sunday with my friends and really don’t want to have to miss out. I haven’t been to a festival before and wondering will there be any seating around for me to sit down. I know I’m crazy going but I really don’t want to miss out as we have it planned with ages!


    Not too sure. I had a broken ankle last year at picnic and had to contact them with regards to this . If I remember correctly I had to get a permission letter off them to bring in a chair.

    No. Best chance you have of that is picking up a weekend ticket on adverts etc from Friday if it doesn't sell out.

    Jaysus, I wish I'd known about that timetable last year, looks very nifty! I've not even the office skills to consider making something similar but the clashfinder is printable and ya can highlight your acts before you print. Should get you by!

    My email to ATN and their response on the gas bottles..

    Just noticed in your FAQ that has cylinders are not allowed anywhere including campervan, yet your policy states that each campervan must have cooking facilities. How can someone cook if they can't bring the required fuel?

    Your campervan must have a door that provides access to the living accommodation. The vehicle must be in a livable condition with a fitted bed, cooking facility & washing facility. These are to be permanent fixtures.

    Generators are not permitted.

    Gas cylinders & BBQs are not allowed.

    Can you please clarify?


    Their response



    Gas tanks are not permitted on site.

    These requirements are to show that the vehicle is a camper van and not just a vehicle.

    Kind Regards,

    ATN

    So campervans with permanently fixed gas cylinders are okay? :confused:
    I'm not even staying in a campervan but find this so bizarre.

    basically if you have gas cylinders, you have to take them out.
    "potential cooking facilities" would be a more accurate requirement.

    Ha ha no that can't be, they insist that your campervan is indeed a camper van as it has to have cooking facilities, so they will create an awful rumpus which campervan people will not tolerate if they try to remove the proper fitted cylinder otherwise they are just contradicting themselves. I would just turn up with your campervan and maybe by the time yours gets searched the security super will have had a word in their ear to cop tae fcuk on.

    Well thats definitely what they are stating here and in FAQ , but yes I will be bringing a small bottle regardless.

    There's going to be quite a lot of people who just turn up without having seen that restriction, based on other festivals where it has been fine. Given that ATN will probably be using the same security crowd as EP and whatnot, I can't imagine they'll bother checking for anything other than glass and sharps.

    I'll either hide my canister somewhere in the van or not bring it, I'm not going to lose the money that those canisters cost.

    Some security guy will blow up a van trying to remove the gas.
    It's the maddest festival rule I've heard.
    If I was going in a camper, I'd be bringing my gas.


    What next - cars in the car park must be on the yellow light or you'll have to drive in circles to use up your tank?

    Exactly this. Most campers also have two bottles, one active and one full spare. All the bays have room for this. Even my tiny caravan has room. These guys are going to accumulate a lot of gas bottles if this stupid rule is enforced.

    https://www.ticketweb.ie/event/giglocker-all-together-curraghmore-estate-tickets/8411655

    Had a problem booking a locker yesterday. Ticketweb processed the payment twice and took it from the bank account. There is no way to actually speak to someone in ticketweb as there customer service phone is just a recorded message.

    I contacted Giglocker directly on facebook who got back to me and said they'll sort it all out for me when we arrive tomorrow.

    Fantastic service from Giglocker.
