just catching up on this thread since the site map announcement.
I take a bus down so usually only carry enough cans for the friday night and buy a tray from Heineken in Jimmy Hendrix down there - is this facility to buy cans on site no longer there at all? (i dont particularly want to leave and go to stradbally)

I stay in Pink Moon so when going to get supplies(ice usually) i'd usually walk down from PM through forest by salty dog/trenchtown towards Jimmy Hendrix. Is it now an enormous trek around the perimeter of the festival outside Salty Dog from Pink Moon to go to the Tesco or any shops? - obviously can cut through the arena on the way over but if you buy ice etc you won't allowed back through arena with it.

Even if they do sell the cans still would be dead carrying them around the outside of Janis Joplin and back up towards PM.

Much easier to walk into stradbally from PM.

Could we be getting a special guest on the main stage after The Strokes?? The main arena is scheduled to close 2am on Saturday? Not likely but I'm still hoping!

Off to a good start.

Billie @ 7.30 Friday will get the party started nicely. Strokes @ 11.30 Saturday.

Main worry now is who's going to be playing Electric Arena when Strokes and Mitski (9.30 Sunday) are playing....

26-08-2019 07:47AM

Hadn’t much interest in Razorlight tbh but now I see them at 4.15 on the Sunday afternoon I might wander over!

jeditokingyoda · 26-08-2019 07:49AM

Oh my I've got some serious clashing already and this isn't all of it yet!

thebusher · 26-08-2019 07:51AM

Echo and the Bunnymen headlining Rankins.

Delighted. I'll have some of that.

Brittany Howard beforehand aswell :-)

everlast75 · 26-08-2019 08:02AM

Has Pablo attended to his divine duty and created his app for this year?

Yeah I'm a bit worried The Streets will headline the Saturday and clash with the Strokes, hopefully they're on the Friday.

Ricosruffneck · 26-08-2019 08:03AM

Everything so far is going to plan. Did they write the schedule just for me?

Wonder what horror clash the Electric arena will bring.

its there all the time. I used it for Glastonbury this year.

Sports team / Billie clash

Ferris_Bueller · 26-08-2019 08:31AM

So far so good, Christine & the Queens on the main stage as the sun is going down will be lovely provided it's dry! Happy to see Echo & the Bunnymen closing the RW too, I thought they might have an earlier slot in one of the big tents. Body & Soul lineup on the Friday is good, will be spending a lot of time floating around there. Let's see what the Electric Arena has in store tomorrow!

Mollyb60 · 26-08-2019 08:35AM

Just gonna spend Sunday at Rankin so. Can't we work out whos on electric arena from whoever's left?

The app had all the SD times up earlier, Roadhouse doors are on before TCM.

Next to no chance. Strokes will be playing until circa 1.30am.

Missing Sunday - main stage looks painfully bad to me bar Ashcroft so I can deal with that. But Rankins Wood finishes brilliantly. And as before Jerry Fish & Three Music very strong that day.

Still does. Starts from noon each day!

As does Trailer Park.

(Roadhouse 4.35pm, These Charming Men 5.40pm)

Also need to leave Sunday... Rankins Wood lineup has me devising cunning plans to stay...

optogirl · 26-08-2019 09:01AM

I'm not a praying woman, but Superman if you're out there please let Johnny Marr be on Saturday

Clashfinder is almost up to date.

Nope. Android only. It uses the latest clashfinder for timetable.

Fatfrog · 26-08-2019 09:08AM

Jeez apart from a few the main stage looks pretty horrific.

I assume the Three made by music stage is similar in size or is the other voices?

Someone posted this on FB, this is apparently the tent in Freetown. It's huge!!

Some thoughts:

Main Stage very poor all weekend, only five acts I'd want to see. Including a very prominent slot for David Keenan. Which clashes with much of TCM.

Music in main arena atarting very late on Friday. Why not 4pm instead of 6pm?

Great slots for Touts and Inhaler in Rankins Wood. Both with albums coming out soonish. Latter will be enormous given the deals they've signed.

Nice afternoon slot for Jessica Pratt at B&S. Though keeping the crowd quiet may be difficult.

Overall very happy with lack of clashes thus far. The Bunnymen running into The Strokes is as good as it gets.
