    I'm seriously down about having to go home on Sunday - it's never been this bad/good

    Snap. Sunday is by far the best day!

    I am scheduled to give a presentation to 100+ people Monday 11am with an international industry expert (that I organised to come here:eek: - didn't cop dates).

    I am slowly but surely convincing myself that I can take it very handy on Sunday, catch The Streets, Cathy Davey and Meltybrains and either head home then or sleep and straight to work Monday morning....

    I find a better option is a pair of plastic bags over my regular socks and in my shoes. When the shoe laces are tied fairly tightly they keep my feet dry.

    Certainly a bit cheaper too :D

    i tried that the last time i went, was pretty wet and it worked but my god the smell when i took my shoes off was unbelievable

    You can forget about the shoe talk they'll be just as useful as our tshirts...

    Friday night line up is very weak. James Blake should send everyone in EA nicely off to snooze land by midnight. Hozier closing the main stage. Another snore fest.

    App is updated with times for the new Freetown stage.

    Ameile is on Friday 10.30 to help a weak Friday. Only two acts Friday, pity they didn't fill out Friday night.

    Sunday looking like a disaster for clashes.

    Still no map on the EP website which is fcuking nonsense. And whoever is updating the site with the band info is royally messing everything up. It's a total sh1tshow.

    Have to agree , Friday is the weakest for me .
    Of course the 3 main ones I wanted to see are at the same time - Billie , sports team and miles Kane

    Sunday is deadly , I’ll be raring to go with so many good lads playing but I can sense a row with my wife , she can’t drink , driving home that night as has to work early Monday morning . No doubt I’ll annoy her when I’m supping away

    Lad reporting from EP on Today FM, basically, Mud.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 349 ✭✭Reggie noble


    Finding lots of little half clashes and full clashes
    The streets v Kolsch another one

    Can’t be muddy already, last few days have been warm and sunny in the midlands?

    SUNDAY
    Food vendors have run out of everything. There is only wasp meat and mud.

    Trying to be positive but I have to drive home Sunday night and all my favourite acts are on Sunday. Friday’s lineup is so dull. James Blake is just so dull and boring imho.

    Ah the ground will be taking in water from the last couple of weeks, and its been fairly rainy the last while. I expect it to be very muddy over the w.e.

    No point in trying to bring everyone else down just because you have to leave Sunday though is there?

    Having a brand new dance stage for 8,000 people and then having it finish at midnight (presumably) feels pointless! Seems like there wont be as much going on past midnight this year?

    You’d want to be very sensitive if one lads comment on James Blake brings everyone else down

    One of the few acts that have me interested over the entire w/e. I hadn't noticed he was dull and boring. Might not bother now.

    Edit: but i do agree with your Friday night is lite thing.

    That Kiwanuka v Streets v Courtney Barnett clash is truly bad. Add in the Special Guests at Jerry Fish and that's one big dilemma. Missing all so it's some relief to know I'd not be able to see all those artists. But I'm only fooling myself, what a beautiful conundrum to have.

    ah here! i assumed that would we open well on in the morning!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,814 ✭✭✭Ferris_Bueller

    I could be completely wrong now. But last acts on each stage seem to be at 10.30ish so assuming they are playing 90 min sets like the rest of them. What a waste!

    When is media day on site?
    They usually have one last surprise at that don't they?

    Media Day is today... I am usually there and was supposed to be there this year but no can do and am gutted :-(

    Laois Today are posting loads in their Insta stories about it though! Runs until just after lunchtime.

    More like a bigger little big tent really. Further away from the other tents.

    Mad...innit??

    My Friday is loaded...from start to finish--first time ever that I've had so many acts that I want to see, and no clashes.

    ...add to that, that I have a gap in my Sunday schedule that I could drive a bus through (3.5 hours!)

    Each to their own I guess.
