Same here, trainers and hiking boots have got me through. Never needed wellies. It's not Glastonbury where two hours of mild rain can wreck the site.

God, I hope you are right, hate wellies!!
Have broken in hiking boots that are coming, I'll chance my old Air Force ones first though! Wellies are last resort!!

What would be the best way to maximise chances of parking in the yellow car park? Coming from Dublin Friday mid morning... Thanks.

It's already explained on the previous page.

In Festable/clashfinder Moxie are down as closing the salty dog Sunday night, also listed in Anachronica at the same time.

Moxie any good?

One is a band and one is a DJ, I will change the clashfinder to show this as it probably looks confusing on festable. No idea what either are like!

Definitely!! The worst that can happen is they get wet, you can nip out and change socks then throw on the wellies/boots.

I've worn wellies 'just incase' when there wasn't a need to, remember you can average >20km per day... would you do a 1/2 marathon in Wellies

How long would it take to break in a pair of hiking boots? Usually I just wear runners but fear something better will be needed this weekend. Have an old pair of hiking boots but they are a bit tight so think they would tear the feet off me if I wore them all weekend.

How far is the walk from Pink Moon to supervalu in Stradbally village?

A couple of days gentle wear enough to break them in. Sounds like it's worth investing in a cheapish pair tomorrow rather than ruin your feet (and your weekend) with your old boots.

Decent pair of Timberlands shouldn’t take any breaking in. If you go for a cheaper brand then expect blisters. EP means 30,000 steps a day, good footwear is a must.

Aaarrrgggh. Just realised how bad a direct clash there is on Saturday circa 8:

Christine & The Queens v Duff McKagan v Viagra Boys v White Reaper. All on my list and only seen one of them before.

In better news Saturday afternoon has a dozen great young Irish acts scattered across the stages. Will be well occupied on the day which makes up for a light Friday.

My realistic itinerary now the stage times are out. Safe to say the weekend will be a builder.

20:05 - Sports Team
20:45 - JARV IS
22:30 - Amelie Lens
23:30 - Endrift

SATURDAY

18:45 - Kneecap
19:45 - DJ Seinfeld
21:00 - Mella Dee
21:45 - Richie Hawtin / Yves Tumor
22:30 - Echo & The Bunnymen
23:30 - The Strokes
02:00 - Papaya DJ's / Willow

SUNDAY

15:30 - King Kong Company
16:15 - Razorlight / Le Boom / Heavy Lungs
18:00 - Johnny Marr
19:00 - Richard Ashcroft
20:15 - Bodega
21:30 - Parquet Courts

I'll be rooted firmly in Terminus at that time of the evening, gutted to miss Viagra Boys myself.

I assumed the likes of IDER and Georgia who are low down on the billing might open some of the smaller tent stages, but are actually headling +Subbing the Three made by music Sunday, shame as it throws both into Sunday night clash central

I take it the OV building is a permanent all year around feature?

Crippled with FOMO reading all the posts.

The 1975 are going to slaughter the Main Stage Saturday and take everyone by surprise.

Only to be matched by Jinx Lennon's spectacular stage set up and light show!

1975 songs are too lightweight, I've really given them a multiple trys!

The wether in this country can be such a wanker. That type of forecast after the clear sunny days we’ve had for the past 5 days

Re. Boots/Wellies/Breaking in etc...

I bought a pair of these the other day. I wore them around the house/garden for a bit and then tried them out for real yesterday. I went up and around the Hellfire Club. Mostly gravel tracks, but went off the beaten track a bit as well. Stood in a few puddles as well to test out the waterproof-ness. Very happy indeed and not even flinching putting them on this morning.

Available in the bricks and mortar shops if anyone was thinking of buying at this late stage.

Mrs. HarryTheSpider has a pair of these (I think), has used them for the last few EPs and ATNs, swears by them and will probably wear them all weekend.

Wellies are fine but you need proper Welly socks or they'll chew through your feet. Find somewhere the FCA buy their socks and you'll be right.
