Saw that yea. Thought it was a glitch

Might've been pushed later to make room for one of the special guest appearances. Pain in the balls, overlaps with King Krule now, was perfect at the earlier time

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

Nothing on the RTE EPG.. so no, not this year.

Jungle and Dua Lipa on the exact same time, so annoying..

I just installed the official EP app. It was pretty good last year IIRC. Its a bit of a shambles this year...

Tickets are on sale now on ticketmaster

says 250€ .. but they are all gone ?

Quick question from a first timer, we are staying in Pink Moon and arriving Friday early evening. We are dropping our kids off with friends in Offaly at 4pm, google maps says it is 45 mins from Stradbally so guessing it will be around 5:30 or maybe even 6pm with traffic by the time we get to the car park (presuming we will be in red given the timeframe). I have a massage booked in body and soul for 7pm (need it to get me into chill zone for the weekend!). Do you think I will make it on time? Ideally I want to bring half the stuff from the car with hubby and at least get pink moon wristband but thinking worst case scenario he can do two car trips or I can help him when I get back....any advice on where I could go to get regular festival wristband from red to go directly to Body and Soul? I don't think it is worth us diverting to approach from Athy in the hope of parking in green at that time of the day. Does anyone who has arrived that time on Friday have an idea of how long we can expect to be in traffic and waiting to check in to Pink Moon?

Bought Lanyards at my first few EPs (started at the tender age of 18) but that was in an era before smartphones were the norm.

Your best bet would be to try get in a bit earlier, even a half could mean you avoid the after work Friday traffic. You will still have to use theain entrance to check in and get your wristband, no way of going directly in to body and soul first.

You will likely get diverted to red but aim for green regardless. If I were to guess I'd say it's fairly unlikely you be all settled before 7pm considering the traffic you'll quite likely meet, best of luck all the same ..

if I was to guess at where that berlin bunker thing was, I'd imagine it'll be the same place as the RedBull Sounddome last year, in the woods near Trenchtown.
Although there is a lot of unused wood near Anachronica...

Can’t see it on this map.

My wife's mum passed away yesterday morning, and the funeral is in Belgium on Saturday. Gutted to be missing EP after being at the last 6.
I'm still filling in my clashfinder on what I would go and see, and it looks like it would have been an awesome year. The weather looks like it could be legendary.

I have enjoyed the last 6 months of discovering new music and expanding my musical taste, in part thanks to the good folks here and their recommendations. I will follow with interest and envy your excitement and feedback over the next week. Symbolically let it go by giving away my ECO campsite code yesterday. (Tickets are in the process of going).

You are obliged to have a great time now.

Very sorry for your loss.

They aren't telling anyone where it is. Needs to be "discovered"

was there any time given for Attention Bebe, are they trailor park?

pack the rain jackets

It'll be dry over Ulster and Leinster in the morning on Friday, with hazy sunshine. But cloudier conditions with rain in Munster and Connacht will extend across the country later in the afternoon and early evening. Highest temperatures 17 to 20 degrees, in moderate southerly winds. Patches of light rain, drizzle and fog will clear overnight. A humid night with lowest temperatures of 12 or 13 degrees.

Becoming largely dry for Saturday with any remaining rain and drizzle over parts of Leinster soon clearing. A mix of sunshine and cloud and just well scattered light showers. Highest temperatures 17 to 20 degrees, in light variable breezes. Misty overnight, with a little drizzle here and there, but mostly dry. Another close night with temperatures of 11 to 13 degrees. Towards morning the wind will freshen bringing patchy rain in to the southwest.

On Sunday southwest winds will freshen bringing increasing cloud and outbreaks of rain eastwards over the country, clearing later.
