All Together Now 2025.

Anyone choosing Para for Cuva over Fontaines? Think its possible to see both with distances between stages?

Family parking doesn't appear to be a separate area.

From the app:

"The Family car parking pass issued to Family ticketholders is to be displayed in the dashboard of vehicles to allow event staff directing incoming patrons to endeavour to park families as close to the main festival entrance as possible at the time of entrance. Priority is given on a first come first served basis."

So does this mythical car park even exist? My back was nearly broken getting the 5 man tent from the main entrance to and from the family camping, which I think is the furthest campsite from the main entrance? Was misery on the wet Monday morning last year.

Campervan has fallen through (or apart). Considering arriving at campervan entrance in our car with the BIG family tent in the back (the one too big to carry) and saying “please take pity - campervan dead - we’ll just drop the tent and kit to bottom edge of campervan site (i.e. edge of the tents bit) and we’ll park the car up where the caravan cars park”.

Yes this is desperation talking.

I might skip Fontaines, depending on condition/mood....seen them a few times and I like them, but wouldn't be devastated to miss them. Parra for Cuva certainly very different!

Just a heads up to anyone going to this the first time around it is without a doubt the hottest gig ever regards gards and the stuffs.

Be very careful.

Dogs on the way in, I dont think these are actual sniffers for a few reasons but 1) they will look at people chatting to each other pointing out the dogs and you will get pulled aside and searched for that 2) if they suspect you have something or they think you look like someone who might have something on you they will say the dog has indicated you have something whether the dog did or not.

There are loads of plain clothes on all of the entrances, workers entrances and all AND loads walking around the campsites and arenas. Have your wits about you, they will be on a mission.

If you ARE going to get caught with something make sure you have no ID or bank cards on you.

Have fun!

Guinness 0.0 bar is up beside the Big Wheel near the main stage.

Its sad it has to be like this. Feckin undercovers.

Made an silly mistake of rolling up an spicy pinner in 2023 around 10 minutes after I set my tent up on the Thursday. Was walking down Curraghmore house way and two undercovers stop me, got searched. They didn't care about the pinner just thought I was holding or something from the smell.

Lesson learned. :P

Was thoroughly searched in main arena by two undercovers in 2022. Stupidly ran into the wooded area for a leak and was pulled by the two of them when I came back out. Don’t give them excuses was my take.

Had to be done.

I was never stopped & searched in all my years. They must have some sort of criteria and old long bearded hippies is not one of them 😁

We were stopped every time we went to the car. Had dogs walking around campsite and an undercover guard stop us. I didn’t mind because genuinely had nothing.

I did get in trouble for petting the dog. But that’s happened at every festival or airport or ferry terminal I’ve been at with dogs. I can’t help myself I like dogs more than people. 😂
