Wreckless in love stage is over at 2am on Friday night? That can't be right is it? It usually goes on to 4 or 5am

I’m reading the grey blocks as “party continues”.

Still implies 3am close.

I very very doubt it though

I don't think Reckless in Love ever went later than 3 or so in the past. I'm pretty sure of this because it was audible from the family campervan site, where I was usually trying to sleep!

Sat night's main stage shaping up nicely - KKC, Sleaford Mods & Modeselektor!!!

Was thinking this too.

KKC on the same time as Confidence Man in the Midnight Circus though. I've seen KKC so many times I might go with Confidence Man and leave early for the end of KKC at the main stage. I suppose I will see how I'm feeling on the night!

Saturday definitely the strongest day of the three as it usually is.

So Friday there's Kruder and Dorfmeister at the main stage for definite... and any other stand outs?

Murder Capital opening the main stage on Friday are worth checking out - great live band, intense frontman
And the auld Kneecapped put on a good show too

Add to that Neil Flynn for some crunchy ambient techno at Reckless in Love 10 - 11.30 PM, Fish Go Deep to take you higher after K&D at the Hennessy Stage 12 - 3 AM.

I keep getting Neil Flynn and Flynn mixed up.

And there’s O’Flynn - not at B&S but a very good DJ/producer from London. Would be a good festival addition...

Thankfully Mark Flynn goes by The Drifter to reduce confusion levels...

What's the craic with the "Ancillary Entertainment" on the main stage after 2? Do you ever find out whos playing it? Le Boom played it one year, but that's all I can remember about it.

Just another word for after hours really, the sound will be lowered somewhat, it just means stuff on after the main stage and marquees close.

The Midnight Circus tent is gonna be unreal on Friday night, the only time I'm leaving it is to go see Pillow Queens and Roe maybe, but if you don't like hip hop and rap it might not be your thing though. Kneecap first thing on Friday at 6pm is a great way to open the weekend.

bodhrandude · 16-06-2019 02:46PM

Getting excited now, starting to recharge stuff, doing extra laundary and brainstorming what essentials I need to buy for a week of camping. I head off to Ballinlough early Tuesday morning and will be doing two twelve hour shifts on Tuesday and Wednesday and I'm free for the Thurs and full weekend, woo hoo! can't phucking wait.

Hahah your reports and behind the scenes knowledge of the grounds etc pre-festival always get me excited!

MJohnston · 17-06-2019 08:20AM

I'll look a bit deeper later, but right now, and fairly consistently over the last few days of forecasts, it seems like we're looking at a mostly dry Friday and Saturday, but possibly a fairly soaked Sunday evening.

Peesh89 · 17-06-2019 10:17AM

Poncho at the ready for The Blaze on Sunday evening.

Just go with the flow, follow the music with your heart, all the stages are fairly close together anyway and the smaller acts tend to show up in different stages throughout the weekend.

Hi folks. Just a couple of questions if any of you previous B&S attendees wouldn't mind answering!

Would it be suitable to bring a parent? They aren't the serious type, just wondering if they'd enjoy it.

Would there be any type of house music there? It's a genre I love.

What type of crowd does it bring?

Thanks!

Lots of house music - checkout most of Reckless in Love stage, and a few other acts on various stages around.

Great crowd, very relaxed, never any major hassle. Lots of great food and drinks around, so a parent (I mean, *I'm* a parent) would find plenty to occupy themselves with.

jpkelly294 · 17-06-2019 11:25PM

Whats this festival like lol im getting old now for Life festival I seriously love my dance music. But Life has gone to a completely different crowd an not in a good way. Its a shame really

bodhrandude · 18-06-2019 03:37AM

Well Peeps I'm jumping into a taxi at 4.20 catching a bus to Loughrea and a friend who is starting the same shift as me is picking me up there and driving to the Body&Soul festival site, maybe I'll meet some of you there.

keithkk16 · 18-06-2019 05:08AM

Is the campsite open as usual at 12pm on Friday? I can't find a time anywhere.

Brodudemanpal · 18-06-2019 08:15AM

Anyone know if changing the name on a ticket is necessary? will they be checking IDs to confirm the tickets match the user?

Dunno, my friend did it last year just to be sure but none of us have ever been asked to check ID against a name in the years we've been going.

I'm about to buy second hand tickets myself and wondering the same, would be worried in case!

ghostdancer · 18-06-2019 10:24AM

I don't recall them ever checking names.

A193 · 18-06-2019 10:25AM

The tickets are You & Us camping too, we're planning on just staying in General Camping, will it matter?

Nope, only matters the opposite way around. If you're general camping you can't access Us and You.
