On the Pink Moon / Green car park topic, did anyone manage to park in Green last year, arriving in Stradbally on Friday morning?

As I read the traffic management plan, it looks like getting to Green will be difficult...

Yeah I did, I drove through Kildangan then onto Vicarstown and headed for Inch cross but got diverted by guards out to the R428. Came into stradbally and took a right as if i was going back to the portlaoise direction and took a left into the green car park.

As far as I know there isn't any guaranteed method as you could get diverted by guards at any point but I've gotten into green the last two years via this route.

Given we expect map tomorrow and timetables next week i think it is safe to assume no more music announcements. With the addition of freetown seems to me the numbers are a bit light, even with LBT possibly replaced by either freetown or 3.

Looks like you were right syd. Just mustard confirmed to me on twitter that only doing one show. Looks like a lot of time at 3 stage.

If it's the same for all of these acts and then the same for the acts your man said are playing freetown, then that would bring the main arena acts down to about 70ish, down from 92 last year. That could definitely indicate that the LBT is gone?

Are u sure cos im going to buy a caravan ticket tonight and am feeling a little bit robbed because i am paying 250 for it when i could easily get a campervan one for 100 to 150..

2017 I brought my caravan in on a campervan ticket. There was no issue.

250 is totally taking the piss. get the campervan one.

Some informal chat about a rendezvous at These Charming Men, 5.40 at the Salty Dog on the Friday. I'm sure details will be firmed up as we approach D-day.

Ferris_Bueller · 22-08-2019 06:34PM

Saw some guy tweet that unfortunately the salty dog is inside the arena this year.. Don't know who he is but he seems to be promoting the salty dog on his twitter.

Well fcuk that..... A lot of what I've loved about EP, and what I go for, is being lost.

I'll still await the official word but balls to that.

I think today was a bit underwhelming with the lack of much new acts and all that so in an effort to get this thread talking about what we DO have what are the three songs from people you are most looking forward to?

My most awaited track:

bodhrandude · 22-08-2019 08:02PM

Moloko (Roisin Murphy).

Stillill42 · 22-08-2019 08:04PM

Johnny doing How soon is now, Avant Gardener by Courtney Barnett and Under cover of Darkness by the Strokes.

But that will all change in a minute.

MichaelM93l · 22-08-2019 08:11PM

Charli XCX- Vroom Vroom, the live performance is not to be missed

Christine and the Queens - The walker, that song does things to you

Mitski - Nobody, existential crisis bop

Stillill42 · 22-08-2019 08:17PM

Bring on the dancing horses, Echo and the Bunnymen
Judy French, White Reaper
How did this happen?? Bodega

Ricosruffneck · 22-08-2019 08:32PM

Guess if we are doing the three song game

Reptillia - the strokes
Where's the catch - James blake
Sugar beats - bi curious

I cannot wait,

Gonna pick up some brewdog at tesco on special offer at the weekend and I'm sorted.

Poorside · 22-08-2019 08:33PM

Bad guy Billie Eilish
This Charming man, Marr
Tombstone, Otherkin.

Just realised a band that are playing are nowhere on the announced acts, Post punk podge, he wouldn't the biggest act around he should be on the list, could be one of the acts for Freetown.

22-08-2019 08:46PM

Krystal Klear won’t be announced for ep

Freetown is baffling me tbh

He is what he says on the tin. Post-punk crew wearing masks and hassling the audience. An acquired taste.

Can't see them getting a slot in the dance area. Hopefully that means more acts for Body & Soul, etc.

I have heard that FATM is on saturday with Kodaline subbing

Bunnymen - Villiers Terrace
Kiwanuka - Love & Hate
Streets - Turn The Page
Ashcroft - The Drugs Don't Work
