    Good evening all,
    A few pics from around the site today, place looking great : )
    Ground grand and grass is green.

    Enjoy your last few nights sleep and safe journey when you hit the road : )

    Just as I write a shower has passed over, but no harm, will be grand come Friday!

    Hi folks any ideas for acts to go see Friday evening... Will start off with roadhouse doors maybe some Ash and kkc, at a loss after that

    Definitely try to catch Murder Capital, they look pretty exciting from the little I've seen of them. David Keenan and Seamus Fogerty on back to back in Other Voices from 7.10. Keenan crazy intense for a young lad but very talented songwriter from Dundalk, Seamus Fogerty sounds excellent. Harvest on at Trailer Park at 5.55. Fantastic last year.

    Lads, huge question here. I won tickets (yeah, I know, jammy bstrd). However, I just realised the person I'm bringing has Fibro and would have qualified for disability camping. However, it's closed. Anyone know if they shoot them an email or if we rocked up to the access area (which they say on the site) what would happen? Cheers.
    Fill in the form, if you're not looking for an assistant ticket freebie they will probably accomodate. No harm in trying... know someone who applied a couple of days ago and got it.

    Ah, the clash of the Ash. That's problematic but I think I'll ease myself in gently with a bit of Neil Young.

    Saw David Keenan at B&S and he was excellent despite the noise bleed. Saw him at ATN and he had a band this time. Didn't do it for me that time.

    Haven't seen Seamus Fogerty but he's on my list.

    The clash with the pale is worse for me

    Snarky Snark Snark


    Sleaford Mods / Prodigy is the daftest clash I think I have seen in years. Surely that is a similar crowd?

    Firestarter vs Tit-Rifle, the struggle is real.

    Trick to finding that will be look for the jaw, not the entrance.

    That's pretty cool though, hopefully its true.

    Is there live TV coverage this year? Last year RTE had decent live coverage, haven't heard anything so far about this year...?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 2,708 ✭✭✭Fatfrog


    Brrrrrr it's chilly this morning.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 2,708 ✭✭✭Fatfrog


    Did anyone see the footage from Germany I think, there was a row of regular portaloos, but one in the centre was a fake, actually a door +tunnel into a secret dance tent. That **** is cool...
    One of things that really impressed me the first time I went to the picnic was the hidden gems, not advertised or on a map. If you found it you we're lucky, I know there are plenty of people still to discover the 'current gems' but to me they're gone slightly stale as I've seen year in and out, it would be great a few new ones

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 4,719 ✭✭✭Stillill42


    Woah, Benjamin, Cigarettes after Sex and St Vincent back to back on Sunday is going to feck me up elsewhere but it's a great run.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,516 ✭✭✭BadTurtle


    Still no Little Big Tent. Prepared now for Sevdaliza and Scarlxrd to be plonked right alongside someone great as well.

    Fuuuuuuu....

    That’s something to aim for, if I make it that I’ll be very happy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,914 ✭✭✭Rigor Mortis


    Saturday afternoon has some horrible clashes for me. Friday night still a vast open plane for about 3 hours after KKC.

    Also, dick move stretching this announcement over 4 days.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,760 ✭✭✭Ferris_Bueller


    Jaysus they are really dragging out the stage times. To find out half of them the day before the festival is very late notice! That fills out Saturday a lot more for me, nice run of Friendly Fires, Wolf Alice and Jungle. Looks like I'll be at Kendrick Lamar as not much else on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,098 ✭✭✭Poorside


    And,Salty Dog Thursday night, that’s brilliant to have.

    Friday still looking a bit bare for me not a bad thing I suppose. At least they have some music on The Salty Dog on Thursday.....even if it is MoK.
