One more sleep till tickets go on sale.
Is there no showers in the campervan section?
Don't think they had them last year anyway.
The Last City. He’s the whistle player with Flook and his own stuff is great.
Yeah a great flute player too, his first album has an amazing version of the Otter's Holt reel.
Anyone see Camplight on the map?
Nope, I've never seen any. Poor enough facilities in Campervan area. Bunch of toilets, that's it.
Just noticing that offical directions state not to go through Carrick on suir.
Would this be more applicable to those travelling on a Thursday or Friday? Coming from the west on Saturday morning so carrick would be fastest route
Follow whatever signs the tell you to, it's worked out well the last couple of years.
Its been a while since I drove around that direction, just trying to work out my route.
I take it that signs will be present up to a few miles coming up to the featival, so might not necessarily help with 80% of the journey. Will figure it out!
deffo be up for meeting up. There was a group chat last year was very useful. Hopefully gets going again. Great way to meet people.
They usually put the traffic plan/directions up on social media before the festival. I wasn't there in 2019 when it was a disaster, but in 2022 and last year, the directions worked perfectly for us coming from Dublin and the event was well sign posted from a few miles away.
Is Ava X Smirnoff area covered?
It's a new stage, so who knows. The AVA stage wasn't covered last year, my hunch would be that it's not this year either. Organisers say it's "set in serene clearing".
The weather rollercoaster continues, latest forecast not looking amazing particularly for Sunday, things will change though, probably a few more times between now and then though.
Fantastic! Would be great to get chatting to a few folks and make some festival friends, especially ones who have been before!
In the past few pages you've given out your number and inadvertently suggested you'll be holding. Tighten up on the housework there good man.
Selling 1 x weekend ticket for less than face value (€190 or best offer)
And 1 x campervan/caravan ticket for face value (€100)
I won’t be able to meet in person due to being in hospital post-spinal surgery, but Ticketmaster transfer options are active for both, so DM if you’re still interested
How early do they open the arenas each morning, usually at EP I get up early to walk into the arena to use the freshly clean and quiet toilets ha
I'm not sure what time they were cleaned but the toilets beside the Guinness Bar opposite the Belonging Bandstand were always fresh and ready for a days action whenever I used them from around 9am each morning.
Exactly…
Not exactly discreet …
No one really cares that you like the 'other substances' ……. 😏
Did anyone happen to see how the poll on Instagram finished up.
Last I saw it had 38% of respondents coming done on the Thursday which is quite high.
No idea of the sample size tho.
Seeing as ticketbastard is not enabling selling I will likewise offer a spare ticket to any boardsies who need/want one (transfer only, sorry, though if you're in donegal can meet to verify im real) message me if interested. Its getting real now, ill be packing the car up this time 3 days!
Ticketbastard 😂😂
Those who went on Thursday last year, how was it compared to Thursday night in '22? I found it a bit sparse and quiet that night, although it was great to be there good and early and get a nice queue-less shower Friday morning
OT but trying to flog an EP camper pass is bloody hard work this year for some reason.
Hey folks. As per the last 4 ATN’s I’ll set up a boards WhatsApp group on the Thursday morning/afternoon and post a link here so that you can easily join it.
It has been a very useful way of connecting on the ground regarding special guests, hints and tips and away for people to meet up, especially the awesome solo revellers.
I always leave the group on the Monday as do most but I heard the 2018 and subsequent years are still going in some guise or another, I find this very amusing 😅
I’m talking Mountain Dew baby
It was 38% when I checked in the evening, so can't imagine it budged much more. Looks like there'll be a big crowd on-site Thursday this year.
Thanks a million @El Director. The WhatsApp group was dead handy the last two years and I'll definitely join it again.
We're heading down from Dublin on Friday for our third ATN and I can't wait!
Thanks for this. It’s really appreciated every year. Would it be worth getting it started a little sooner so anyone who happens to be setting up can send in some updates on current weather and ground conditions?
Excitement is building massively. Can’t wait for Thursday.
Last year there seemed to be a lot on Thursday but I just set up camp and sat back having a few drinks at the tent watching the light from Arcadia. Was great to just chill meet camp neighbours and not stress for Friday. Mind you felt sorry for some folks who looked already defeated by the weather coming in on Friday morning and ended up helping a fair few carry bags. Hopefully can do the same this year but the sun is the issue.
Weather looking a bit more promising on Met Eireann at least - looking like only a few showers later on Sunday, but hopefully shifts.
