Friends first festival ? No gas allowed on site.

When you arrive into the car park you are directed straight to a parking space. No wandering around like its a tesco car park.

Tell your friend to only bring what he can carry, or get a trolley.

If your friend brings too much - don't help carry it, they'll learn their lesson for next time.

I agree. I wont be with them, they are coming from donegal on Friday morning - whereas I’m arriving on site from Dublin on sat around noon hopefully. Dunno if some festivals allow cars on site to load off camping equipment etc but can’t see EP allowing it.

The only cars I’ve ever seen on site have been official festival vehicles.

It would be like driving up to your seat in Croke Park to drop your jacket off, not happening.

12.30 I think

the more I read about this friend of Beechwoodspark, the more I want them to believe and keep insisting they can do this, so they learn a life lesson when they get down there.

The thing is, he’s like a lot of donegal ppl great personality very funny persuasive type - so i actually wouldn’t put it past him to try convince security to let him drive in! I was doubting myself when he was telling me last night about the plan to drive in -ehhh are you sure you can do that??!

Let us know when he gets there so we can watch.

He says u can do it before the campsites get packed but I said even if it was quiet there would be an issue with private cars driving around pedestrian areas

The reason he wants to do this is he has a load of camping equipment and wants to drive in to drop off before. Also I Think he won’t be allowed use the camping stove etc but I havnt mentioned that to him yet!

Ha ha so untrue it's got to be trolling!!
Can you imagine!! congested enough with people and tents....

add in tens of thousands of cars.
Maybe they've camped in a crew site in the week before the ep.

Grand, watch that and off to The Salty dog, great start.

Forecast not looking great for Sunday PM. And all different ones starting to agree.

If it does rain, it looks very minimal, raincoat and a hat, be grand.

gebbel · 30-08-2018 09:15AM

Yr shows some rain Sunday. Accuweather says no. MT on boards says some rain in the northwest only. Friday evening and Sunday there are likely to be small showers but nothing to worry about.

Fatfrog · 30-08-2018 09:17AM

Lads I have a great new way to smuggle drink into the arena, what ya do is.... fill the car full of booze and drive in... works every time. Key is, if stopped put on a Donegal accent.
Can't believe you fools actually pay for drink and walk everywhere. Last year I flashed my head lights at Hannah Reid from London Grammar during their gig, took her for a spin after she heard my Donegal accent. All true.

Friend coming from glenties is insisting that you can drive into the campsites, drop off your stuff then drive to the carpark.

Is this true?

That is very untrue

yeah, possibly the odd shower on Friday, Saturday is looking dry at the moment, but rain likely on Sunday night. at least it'll be clear by Monday morning for packing up.

Saturday is just mental for me. 19 acts I want to see. 19, in one day! Nuts. Obviously not practical but we're spoiled.

Will finalise my to-see list tomorrow as best I can, I think.

nice! I'm expecting King Krule to join them for Blue Train Lines, as he's on the same stage after them...

He could turn up of B&S Earth Stage maybe. Think he did that a few years back... Still waiting on B&S stages..

BadTurtle · 30-08-2018 09:29AM

Looks like I'll be sleeping in the car Sunday night so

Fatfrog · 30-08-2018 09:35AM

I've forgotton how good Jungle are live #KEXP proper Craic and dancing, can't wait.

showpony1 · 30-08-2018 09:39AM

it was lashing the EP before last on the sunday I basically drank cans in the tent until it cleared up enough to go to Mother Djs
hopefully its not lashing all during their slot. All other acts I want to see sunday are in tents.

chevra13i · 30-08-2018 09:40AM

You can go to the carpark and bring in more drink throughout the weekend can't you? We've always done that previously.

A colleague of my housemate says you can't bring in more drink after first entry...
