Thanks! The best hope doesn’t make great reading.. 😂

I guess now just be well prepared for it and hope for the best.

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, green car park is for early entry ONLY. Pink mooners will have a decent trek on Friday morning if they can't get into green.

HarryTheSpider · 29-08-2022 10:14AM

While we are being sensible talking about socks, here's my take.

Bring enough to change twice a day. Clean fresh feet are as appreciated at 6pm as they are at 10am. If you drop back to the tent in the afternoon/evening, take the opportunity to change.

And don't leave any toenail cutting to the last minute.

I think it means that Green carpark is the only one that Thurs people can use. Not that its only for Thurs people and you can only park there on Thurs if you have a ticket for Thurs.

Its too big to be just for Thurs people on Thurs who arrive early on Thurs

there was a brief taxi service on buggies at EP wasnt there? I know it was at a few of the UK FR gig for sure. Would make things much easier

A while ago. I'm certain they said Loowatt weren't there this year.

Thirded on the decent sock recommendations. Almost as important as good footwear in my book. @rubick That 2 pairs of thin socks sounds nuts. What were you thinking?!!!😂

Honestly, I've been doing that since 2012. Zero blisters. Ball ache to pack though.

BYEco told me on Facebook that they were still in talks with Loowatt, who have been bought over by A1. This was a couple of weeks ago now, hopefully they have hammered out a deal. Failing that, it'll be compost loos.

this, very much this and echoing post #1, list of stuffs rule #8

8 - Spare clothes (kept in car for emergencies), clean fresh socks every day people, even if you don't change anything else!

Fresh socks really are the dogs bollocks, especially if you're not used to the amount of walking that you'll be doing, feet get sweaty, sweaty feet will chafe and blister faster if your shoe choices are ****.e or ill fitting.

1000 mile socks do a double layer which is great or even their normal ones, they're expensive but so worth it.

First time driving to EP this year - can you leave cans in the car and bring them in on Saturday/Sunday? I know for All Together Now you aren't allowed to re-enter with alcohol (at least that's the policy) but maybe that's because of the free flow system? There's nothing on the EP website that says you can't, and it would make the trek to the campsite on Friday a bit easier!

You can go out to the car again no problem, but depending when you arrive and get parked/camped that could be a bit of a trek. Get a decent handtruck/trolley and do everything all in one run.

"Toilet Facilities- As many of you have heard, Loowatt may not be returning this year, details are still being finalized. But, rest assured! We will have sustainable sanitation facilities in both campsites either way."

I wonder if it's Brexit related. 🤔

Or everyone arriving Thursday not staying in pinkmoon will have a decent trek and will be +1 tent more weight vs pinkmooners.

I really hope they have the red open Thursday!!

Fatfrog · 29-08-2022 11:00AM

Just give us want we want EP ffs!!

I’m really trying to make the best out of this line up, for the low amount of acts I want to see I’ll be gutted if there are clashes!!

In 2019 it was the green car park only on the Thursday. I arrived after work and the queue took a couple of hours followed by a long trek to the Joplin. I'd hope they've improved things for this year, because it was a bit of a mess back then.

Bobby Baccala · 29-08-2022 11:16AM

The Eco campsite seems to have a big white marquee that might keep some of us dry if shít properly hits the fan!

New addition

Phishwax · 29-08-2022 11:31AM

Disclosure added. Good for the huns I guess

endainoz · 29-08-2022 11:32AM

A nice surprise

endainoz · 29-08-2022 11:34AM

I guess they could br the late night dance act for Saturday, wouldn't mind seeing white noise live.

scruff monkey · 29-08-2022 11:35AM

final line up me hole!

now, who are disclosure?

LowOdour · 29-08-2022 11:35AM

Utterly underwhelming - par for the course this year

rubick · 29-08-2022 11:35AM

Called it.

Sorry guys.

Red car park isn't open until 9am on Friday.

Not my kinda thing but at least we're getting stage times tomorrow. Just need someone to upload them from the app to clashfinder and i'll be good to go (no smartphone so apps are of no use to me).

ChannelNo5 · 29-08-2022 11:46AM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119536223#Comment_119536223

Yes this. We always go Friday and park in Green as its closest to pink moon. it can be difficult to get in to Green if you're coming in on Friday as they will direct you to Red usually. but we generally go by the way of "you're looking well guard" to blag our way into green. they'll generally say go on if you're polite and chat to them.

endainoz · 29-08-2022 11:47AM

I recall disclosure getting a pretty good reception when they played in 2013/14? A pretty decent sized act to be added this late on.

Fatfrog · 29-08-2022 11:51AM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119536679#Comment_119536679

Yes correct, that’s what the web site says, but EP did make a planning permission type request to Laois coco to open the red on Thursday. Someone shared it on here a few weeks back.

So let’s see!

BigMo1 · 29-08-2022 11:52AM

Not everyone's cup of tea but I think think they're a great addition. Very big act to announce the week of the festival. I wonder if there's any other tricks up their sleeve.

Furious-Red · 29-08-2022 11:54AM

I'm guessing they had to wait till after their dj set in Belfast over the weekend before the announcement

beanyb · 29-08-2022 11:55AM

Do they direct you to the Green car park if you are coming from Portlaoise, or what is the best way to go?
