Is there an actual offo on site I can go just buy a load of cold cans to save lumping them all the way there?

Wondering this myself, there is a Tesco's onsite, not sure what the available, price of cans in it is though

Adam Beyer sounds like a pretty intense Friday night act don't think anyone's suggested him just yet.

Anyone know where the apparent Berlin DJ bunker is?

Or where it is :P

Imagine how I felt finding out Massive Attack don't play Teardrop or Paradise Circus live any more.

hi all
been a lurker here with the past few days to get in the mood
One festival tip that works a treat for me every year is the old boil the cap off a plastic water bottle - check it out on youtube
No matter how many cans get confiscated on the way into the main arena they cant touch the 'water' bottle and I've had security pay very close inspection said bottle
roll on the roadhouse doors tomorrow

Are you allowed bring a bottle of water into the main arena?

everlast75 · 30-08-2018 03:19PM

Right.
I am f**king off from work now.
I have to buy some bungee cords, my booze and *sigh* pack.
I hope to be there for the Roadhouse Doors, but may not be. I'll be on here if any other places are arranged.
Safe journey, you magnificent b*stards!

Poorside · 30-08-2018 03:20PM

Arrived, busy enough.

Green car park is on Google maps, came through Portlaoise head towards Stradbally

Yes as long as its under 500mL (replace water with whatever your clear fluid poison of choice is) - have a look at the video on youtube ''How to Re-seal a Water Bottle''

barry181091 · 30-08-2018 03:22PM

Jesus the notification vibration from the EP app was strong enough there, just to tell me that contactless is onsite now

So there are, how is that if they're reporting it as sold out? Seems unfair to all the people who've been scrambling to get tickets for the past couple of months.

Probably had some allocated to vendors, VIP, competitions etc that were not used

Hi guys, lurked on here a few times, but never posted.

Just to put my mind at ease, can normal weekend camping wristbands get full access to campervan site?
I'm driving up, parking in (hopefully) red, and walking to campervan site to stay in my friends campervan for the weekend.

Shouldn't be a problem, right?

I am done!

Time to head back, finish loading the car, (won't take long), eat and then next stop is the Green Car Park of EP2018!

Reality can phuck right off for a few days, enjoy everyone, it's goin' ta be tttropic!

Yeah Ive done that before also.

Would you not try and land at the yellow car park? Much closer to campervan site.

Fatfrog · 30-08-2018 03:44PM

In ECO also... I'll be the one with a blue tent, green camping chair, slight beard, sunglasses, 30-40 years old, hat & drinking cans.....you can't miss me

Is it? Was just judging from the festival map, didn't seem like much of a difference, but I'll look into that a bit more, cheers.

I'm coming from Dublin so thought there was a good chance I end up in Red anyway.

contact them by Twitter or Facebook and ask them...usually very accommodating . Unreal tune, they will be brilliant I'd say

Stillill42 · 30-08-2018 03:53PM

I raise my final staff room mug of coffee in silent toast to you, EP boards people. As ever, ye've been as integral to the Picnic experience as the Salty Dog. I hope we all get the Picnic we deserve. Have a good one, hopefully I'll run in to one or two of ye over the weekend.
