    Any slept in the car park, thinking of it rather than getting a tent, won't be there all weekend so don't want to splash out on the pink moon..

    I did go back to the car to get something, it was late ended up falling asleep in the passenger seat, initially fine but uncomfortable as hell a couple of hours in, depends on you but not something I'd recommend.

    Offically no staying in carpark, lads driving around in Hi-vis now and again but I dont think they do much checking unless you're making a tool of yourself. If you were parked in a corner or in the centre of a large bunch where it wasn't that accessible to them I think you'd be fine.

    No Encore pod say that they heard Billie Eilish is not main stage. Would seem a bit mad to me if that's true. She'd get a huge crowd wherever she plays.

    Surely not true! I think like Dua Lipa last year She'll pull the biggest crowd of the weekend!

    I posted this in EP Banter: Right folks when we get to Stradbally and the festival site we all have to collectively wave our hands in the air woo hoo! Syd Barrett said so, well he said arms.

    Hot Press have a four page interview with her with Saturday very clearly printed at the top of it. Would be very surprised if a media partner of the festival got that wrong but maybe Fanning has more up to date stage times.

    Fri would be a lot better for me, she could really start EP off with a bang.

    ATN thread more appropriate given the extreme post-festival comedowns there.

    They seem to be convinced on EP banter that the bars shut at 11 PM, is it not 1.30 - 2 AM they shut now.

    The official site says 1am but doesn't specify days. I think it's midnight on Sunday.

    Glass is not permitted we’ve been searched although we did sneak bottles of wine in! They will take them if found!

    They do look but not in any great detail so you could sneak some stuff in if you needed but glass is banned for a reason so make sure you're responsible with it, keep it out of sight and take it home again!

    Most of us okay by Tuesday I hope.

    ATN crew were talking about twitches seven days after. One thing POD can't be blamed for.

    and on another note the more I listen to Billie E the more impressed I am. Her set is going to be absolutely mobbed. Not only the youngsters but all the old geezers trying to be down with the kids. Our t-shirts and beer guts may betray any semblance of credibility we seek.

    Hopefully she does a short set and we can pull the guts in for the duration. Mind you the collective blow out at the end could be a health and safety issue.

    Was painting my 16 year old daughters room with her today and we agreed we would do 45 min slots of music. Billie was the only one that one of us didnt have a face for.
