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.

From the FB banter page....
Dave Fanning just said Billie Eilish and Hozier Friday night

?? confused!

Dont give a monkeys about hozier but Billie is a must-see for me

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.

I've heard a whisper Ashcroft is going to dedicate 'The drugs don't work' to this thread. You heard it here first.

Strange looking barriers at leads and Reading! Wonder if we'll have the same!!

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.

Reded · 24-08-2019 07:36PM

Some friends went on site today and have reported that the ground is pretty wet!!

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

Lads whats the deal with glass bottles in campervans? Do they search the campervans going in or can we sneak in some wine bottles?

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!

Peterd66 · 24-08-2019 07:45PM

Put them in the gas , battery or toilet compartment. No one looks there.

Get rid of those "friends". You don't need negativity in your life like that.

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.

Mucker46 · 24-08-2019 08:12PM

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.

Not at all strange, thats an entry point, where tickets are scanned on entry, have been is use for a good while, saw them first at O2 London few years back, splits/filters, the incoming crowd into single file, at least i think thats the idea

No bar is going to close at 11pm, its only getting going then,

Heineken have 4 extra bars, on a quick map scan, this year in the area which was previously outside the main arena, and you can be dam sure they will milk the s h i t out of this. Or should i say “us” .

That's not a ticket entry point? That's a crowd control point for the front section of the main stage - generally used when the acts are playing to avoid over-crowding.

Fairly common at other big festivals.

Yea i remember going to Rock Im Park in 2009 and they had them at the main stage

Is it just me or is the barrier in the middle at the front of the stage that splits the crowd a real eye sore
