    Is there any indication of when the bands will be one? Like fr misty is on at 1 but I'm more worried about beck and the manic street preachers as I can't stay till the end.
    According to Rigsy (BBC Radio Ulster), they're unlikely to announce stage times until the day of the gig :(

    It won't go past 11 anyway. That's the curfew for the site.

    BBC4 listings would suggest that Orbital are last on stage on Friday

    I only got mine for Saturday this morning, the tickets for Friday arrived last week.

    Not going to make it up for Saturday, so if anyone (in Dublin) wants 2 for Saturday, I'm sure we can come to an arrangement.

    I've been to loads of gigs in the Limelight, from Pop Will Eat Itself in '93 (and Oasis in '94) right up to Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Ride this year.

    Wouldn't be too gone on it tbh, rip off prices, £2:50 to use ATM (bring cash if coming tomorrow) and the wind is badly affecting sound at main stage. Set up not great either.

    the IPA was nice tho.

    Sound was better later on. Was down the front for the valley boys and sound was lovely and loud.
    Difference between Beck in Belfast and 3arena was very noticeable.

    Tbh the Manics and Beck pulled it back to very enjoyable. And I'd only seen Beck in 3Arena on Wednesday
