    Are the new rules active from that tweet you'd think that's how things work now?

    Either way it'll be in before anyone see the district court in portlaoise next year.

    HSE and Ana Liffey project taking a drug testing stand there as well, somebody better tell the guards how we roll from here on in.

    I can imagine the majority of the busts were from when people were entering the venue for the first time rather than inside the venue. They tend to turn a blind eye towards folk smoking spliffs at gigs or sitting on the grass in the arena unless your really over the top like sniffing coke from the back of your hand.

    Contrast that with 16 arrests at Glasto this year. Last time there in 2014 I overheard a security guy ask some youngsters to snort their coke elsewhere as there were children around. Police basically ignore drug use unless problematic. Seems sensible to me.

    Anyone keeping an eye on beer slab prices ? Think the best I’ve seen so far is Tesco doing 24 Heineken for 30

    Apologies if this is in the wrong thread btw

    I’m on the lookout also.
    30 is the best I can find. Tesco are selling 24 Grolsch for 24 which is good.

    Jerry Fish lineup on Thursday.
    So if that is all we get this week, then next week will be final main acts, Freetown, Spike Island, Minfield and the map.

    The following week will give the day by day breakdown.

    All bit of a pain really

    Shot in the dark here but has anyone ever camped in the rainbow tipi in pink moon?

    Have a double airmattress 200Lx125W and wondering if it will fit, hard to tell on the dimensions given on the website trying to account for the pole in the middle and the corners...

    What time does the entrance close Thursday night? I have the early entry but I might have to head up after work if I can't get it off and might not get to the site until midnight. My friends will be in already

    Pink Moon closes check in at 12am on the Thursday (I contacted them as I won't be arriving untill after 11 myself!) I presume its the same for all other entry points!

    We have slept in Rainbow Tipi and can get 2 singles either side of the pole so not sure how you would get a double in

    You might fit it in but it will be up against the sides so if it rains you’ll be swimming.
    And, howdy neighbour, don’t be shy and share the cans.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68 ✭✭Fics


    Guess I will be adding two single airbeds to the shopping list...

    @Poorside I'll Share mine if you share yours...

    Heineken / Gallahad / Open for suggestions, what tastes good when warm and on a Sunday after some temperature abuse?


    Could be a trick question..

    I need my sleep after a good day of kicking.

    Is getting cans through security not one of the benefits of Pink Moon?

    We're the "respectable responsible" crowd who would never smuggle in drink?

    It’s a bit easier but still not allowed, but you could bring pints in plastic cups through no bother for the last couple of years.

    Someone mentioned Car Seat Headrest a few pages ago - they are playing Green Man festival this weekend, with no further tour dates listed until they are back in the USA on 6th September.
    https://carseatheadrest.com/tourdates/

    I think the last time they played EP Will mentioned it was the last leg of their European tour before heading home - hopefully the same this year!

    Its a bit ludicrous waiting around now for these announcements when the likes of End of the Road have their stage splits out three months beforehand.
