great to be drinking heineken again rather than rockshore at irish live music.

last time i was there they had corona on draft and seemed to mention having Corona 0.0 as the alchohol free option so disappointed thats not there.

showpony1 · 09-06-2026 09:13AM

Just saw the last bus down on Marathon appears to be 5pm - i expected a later after work option like 6.30/7pm.

Or maybe its been sold out for later times

What are people's tips for good stuff to see outside the main stages?

Shakalak on Puc Fada stage Sunday night very good

Curtisy on the 2fm stage sat late

bodhrandude · 09-06-2026 10:06AM

Well that's me all set up to travel to the festival site today, will update Rubick with weather updates of the site, photos I seen yesterday it looked nice and sunny.

Looking forward to your updates, be nice to know what ground conditions are like, it would be nice not to have to wear boots or waterproofs, chilling on the grass this weekend would be a bonus

Tusky · 09-06-2026 11:59AM

Forecast is looking better again today! A little cooler but less rain.

Which campsite is best for people who want to sleep and are too old for campsite sessions?

They are all prety chill tbh but I suppose the further back you are is better.

showpony1 · 09-06-2026 12:22PM

I might be arriving later Friday or even Saturday afternoon.

Last time in went in 2024 i was in the campervans area - does the campsite be full or relatively spacious to set up sat afternoon? i probably will have to put my tent by itself if friends are already full up around them.

also was the car park far from campsite? ill be getting bus down but might have to collect my cans from friends car - he prob wont be too impressed if its a massive trek back out with me!

There is an overflow campsite on the planning application this year so I'd say you will have no issues finding a spot. The carpark depends on where you friends get to park. If they are in the main carpark it's a max 10 min walk from the campsite. If they are arriving later on Friday they might end up in the over flow car park which is a long way from the campsite.

Are there any shops/vendors that sell ice on site?

There wasnt the last couple of years anyway

overpronator · 09-06-2026 04:52PM

The can chiller guy wasn't there the last couple of years either as I recall, or was that only a Body and Soul thing. I'm getting old.

showpony1 · 09-06-2026 05:24PM

they posted on the app now you can bring 4 cans in - but i saw someone on the whatsapp group saying this could be 4 opened cans? that would be a nightmare.

I don't know if the person is thinking this cause of the 1 open can policy last year.

FestivalFrank · 09-06-2026 05:27PM

Can man was there two years back but not last year. It would be great to have him back.

showpony1 · 09-06-2026 05:55PM

They actually replied on the cans now saying "No, you can bring 4 cans in, 3 of which can be closed, into the arena.
Alcohol allowances are as per usual into the festival. 24 cans or 1.5 litres or 1 litre of spirits"

i wonder why the change of heart on this - will definitely be spending less on pints now

ATN has set the bar with free flow and btp targeting same audience. The one open can rule came off as stupidity.

RangerToby · 09-06-2026 07:14PM

Tbh, plenty of booze will still be bought was the case last year, only really saw bars emptying towards end of night. Cocktail place was always busy.

Will be interesting to see how Stendhal handle it this year. In 2025 they doubled down and it was absolutely zero coming booze into the arena, not even open. So can on the way down and then carry thru Irish coffee was on the menu for me!

RangerToby · 09-06-2026 10:02PM

Just looked through the clunky app timetable and there's a few acts missing so possible changes.

So far that's only on the 2fm Outpost stage. Annoying as I wanted to see them both!

Run the Red
MayKay

I've updated the clashfinder to reflect possible cancellations and and further timetable changes. I can keep it updated till Thursday AM - after that I'm on the mobile only so can't edit it any futher.

Always gonna be a few changes...

Van loading tomorrow and we're rocking up Thursday. Ahhh been too long!

Not all heroes wear a cape. Fair play

bleaks · 10-06-2026 10:23AM

Who are your not so headliner tips?

I'm looking forward to seeing:

Rois

Bricknasty

Kojaque

Curtisy

Kittin (formerly Ms. Kitten)

Sunil Sharpe

CC Disco

Paddy Hanna

Dove Ellis

New Dad

Tuki

rubick · 10-06-2026 10:26AM

Will just be glad to get through Belfast without having the car burnt out at this point. :/

Sama Abdulhadi (highly recommend, best set of festival last year)

Mr Scruff

Horace Andy, annoyed there is a Dove Ellis clash

Caribou

Sister Sledge

Glasshouse in the early Sunday afternoon sunshine (hopefully)

Loads of other bits and bobs

grudgehugger · 10-06-2026 11:01AM

Marie Davidson, Dug, Ela Minus all very high on my list.

Cliffords did a cracking set at ATN last year if indie rock is your thing

Do Tinlicker count as “not a headliner”? If Sama and her style is heavier than your preference, but you still want a proper dance, head to see them instead.

jamiethe6th · 10-06-2026 12:06PM

Loʻffer and Soulwax

RangerToby · 10-06-2026 12:10PM

Been deep diving since way back in the thread and away from the three mainstages i'll be checking out these;

Dose, Maicin, Zeztra, Croithe, Mischa & the Bear, Sei Green, Jessica Doolan Evan Gildersleeve. (+ Run the Red and MayKay if still playing.)

Obviously already keen for Overhead The Albatross, pretty much closing the festival as well, what a finish, tho will still stumble to Shakalak if I'm still mobile!
