TCM clashing with Wet Leg, KKC and others on Fri night.

On Sat most of their set is up against a very personable Mancunian Irishman whose material may be familiar to them.

Good man, had forgotten about them..

Soft and hard liquor, smokes, toothbrush & paste, bog roll, baby wipes, towel, clothes, swimming shorts, sleeping bag, 2 pairs of cheap shades and some cash as there ain't no tapping in the jungle.....I think thats me done unless you notice something obvious...

Superb live, my highlight (alongside Macca) of Glasto 2022.

@fourmations its quite muddy after last night’s Ron but once the build traffic stops bark will go down - hiking boots is a good call if you have them sneakers will be grand later in weekend! Enjoy!

Campervan parked up in the staff field. Guinness poured. Going to head in and explore shortly. It pissed down the whole way from the north west until I got to Dublin...and then the sun came out on the M7!

Penfailed · 31-08-2023 07:36PM

IDLES are my must see for the weekend. I bought tickets to see Liam Gallagher in Belfast purely because IDLES were supporting...and then it was cancelled. Gutted that it's clashing with Simple Kid.

Yes I’m in the same boat, haven’t seen Wet Leg so will give them a look!

Phishwax · 31-08-2023 07:49PM

If people are still queuing that is a bit of joke

Fatfrog · 31-08-2023 07:51PM

FYI Confiscating small portable speakers in the first entry searches at the Abbeyleix entrance, security guard had about 20 of them!

Seems a bit ott and they're not noted as a banned item unless they're using the disturbance clause here..

"You may be body and/or bag searched at the entrance, onsite or on leaving. Any item(s), which may reasonably be considered for use as a weapon, or which may cause danger or disruption to any other persons at the event, will be confiscated"

Looks similar to the Cute Hoor set up a few years back. Nice meeting point for a pint.

hadoken13 · 31-08-2023 08:41PM

Some of the staff are being d%&%s with thorough bag checks and that is holding up all the queues. Saying that, the guy checking our lane stopped a good few in front of me but I waltzed on through. Must be an age thing 😎.

Eco about 2/3rds full.

drunkmonkey · 31-08-2023 08:45PM

Bet they're vapers looking for a few freebies to go along with the speakers.

Dany Hitch · 31-08-2023 08:46PM

Best of luck to everyone doing either the run or cycle for the Tour de Picnic tomorrow. Runners, shorts, running top and shades(!) all laid out. Hoping for overcast conditions with a gentle breeze and a few sprinkles to keep me cool followed by sunny spells from around 13:30 onwards when we're due to finish. See yiz at the finish line for free pints!

Reded · 31-08-2023 08:47PM

I’m a survivor!

Furious-Red · 31-08-2023 08:49PM

I remember last year they confiscated my new can of deodorant during the bag checks, was raging although luckily they didnt see my small bottle of aftershave/perfume ha

FFS once again can’t get to the Salty dog! Freetown gate closed, sending ppl to Hendrix, transmission closed sending to main arena entrance at Hendrix, lads on this gate won’t allow cans in

Navan Man01 · 31-08-2023 09:09PM

Fair play to you Mucker! That was a lot of effort & stress late in d week! Hope you have a great weekend!! 👍🏻

I just bury anything questionable deep in my bag which is stacked on a trolley with all my gear and booze and bound up with ratchet straps, they are never arsed, they pat the outside of the bags and that's it but in sure there's a bit of profiling going on whether intentional or not, they see a fat late forties baldy approaching and just feel sorry for me, lol
