Do I need wellies or will 1 or 2 old pair of runners suffice? What's the dress code tracksuits or jeans and a t shirt I imagine? What kind of money is needed for weekend? Your allowed 24 cans and 2 litres of spirits in plastic bottle is it? Sorry for noon questions. Thanks

Whatever you feel comfortable in or think you can get away with but bring some warm clothes for night time drinking and morning rambles and maybe a waterproof jacket by the looks of it You'll need euros €€€€ and lots of them I kid, I'd set a budget of around 10 a day for food, pints are probably 5+ so depending on your intake which you should well know yourself by now,so do some math,add on extra for smokes and the likes if thats a factor also do ya need to get a bus or taxi home most important come Monday nothing worse than being stuck in a field hungover and broke,shook like babys rattle.... Not sure about the drink limit,think its one or the other but not both. Enjoy

I'm a fan of the genre of music but not a huge fan so it all sounded the same to me. I'll give it a 7.5/10 I wish I went to forbidden fruit festival instead due to a few UK rap acts thrown in to break the cycle of bang bang bang bang bang bang dance music for 3 nights.

Barely any Dubs, so we can't blame them, but plenty of thrash from Cork and Limerick to kill the vibe. So let's not blame Dubliners for the world's ills. At the same time, let's not be in denial about what a large influx of Dubs brings to a festival. Again, a good example is Bodytonic's Garden Party which ran for two years circa 2005. It was a lovely little festival on both occasions, but the mood around the place on the second year was palpably different due to a larger number of 'heads'. I also remember the year Snoop Dogg played Oxegen. The festival had been changing year on year since it was Witnness, but that year killed it stone dead for me in terms of the people that started to come along. Certain types of music attract certain types of people, and large urban centres inevitably have more of everything, including scum. It's possible to call a spade a spade while at the same time not blaming everything on the capital.
