    The Friday is going to be pretty clash heavy if that's the case.

    Doesn’t seem to be a listing for the 3 Stage for Friday night! I’m hoping VB’s are on it! On their website they’re down as playing the Friday too!

    More concerned with Jamie Xx clashing with The Killers - definitely two of the acts I was most looking forward to.

    Concerned Jamie is late Sunday night, I'll be well past a functioning human at that stage.

    Have the showers in Hendrix disappeared?

    I'm seeing showers in Silver, Janis Joplin (nearest to Eco), Accessible campsite, family campsite, but nothing in Hendrix where they usually are.

    Terminus ridiculously under-utilised once again. A few of them in there clashing with guitar acts i might want to see. Yasmin Gardezi on at 6.30 should be interesting!

    The IT times and the EP app aren't the same either, few acts have totally different times. I'd be inclined to believe the app is the correct one but ffs how could they mess this up so badly.

    Looks to be open until 1am one of the nights which is a bit longer but yeah, I really don't get this. All that effort and amazing soundsystem and it's closed half the festival.

    I have been offered a resident day ticket for Saturday and Sunday. I’ve looked at their website and it says that the tickets are numbered and matched to recipients. Does this mean they will check my ID and if I’m not local the tickets won’t work? Also if I do get in can I enter the campsite to go to my mates or am I confined to just the arenas? Anyone with experience or advice would be a great help!

    Unlikely but his family are from Athy which is 12km away so he could hang on for a couple of days.

    Nobody should spend more than 10 minutes in Athy

    Also clashes with De Danann.

    Some fun stuff at the Survivors stage, TCM doing The Queen is Dead and Roadhouse Doors doing The Doors debut, Salty Dog No Stars doing Ziggy, etc. Though I won’t spend much time there as so much else on.

    For a lineup we’ve been slagging off for months I’ve got several clashes going on each day for acts I really want to see. This is a festival that has really made an effort in providing as many alternatives as possible We’ve got to give them credit for that.
