    Does anyone know if you will be able to upgrade a camping ticket to a car camping ticket on the day? Also I presume there won't be an issue going in on Saturday and setting up as we can't make it down Friday!

    You have to buy car camping ticket extra to your weekend ticket, costs about €90

    A guy is selling one a few posts back. They are sold out on ticketmaster. Only reason we aren’t doing car camping is we want to be next to friends.

    I was tempted by car camping when they released more this week, but just didn't think it would feel right to be camping surrounded by cars.

    Also main campsite has been named Bumfuzzle, so any idea of changing spot went out window when I realised I'd have to tell a 6 year old they wouldn't be staying at Bumfuzzle

    What are the thoughts on what the crowd will be like? Only families or people without kids also? Saw in the paper that it will shut down at midnight so just wondering if it will be very quiet.. :)

    The clincher for us is not having to drag camping gear for four people across a field to a camp site. It also means we can leave stuff in the car and free up tent space. I'm curious how it will be laid out, cars will need to be able to exit at any point so lots of space in front and behind is needed.

    Itll be an Interesting one. I can't see the music lineup being strong enough to entice "just adults", the attraction for us is the activities for the kids in a festival environment so I'm presuming it will be mostly families

    Adult heading down on my own. Music Line up not very strong, but still enough to make it worth the 90 odd quid. Up and down each day so will play it by ear if worth going each day.

    We are a couple with no kids heading for the weekend - bought tickets because of Tom Odell initially and thought there would be much more international music acts added - Heard Ian Dempsey promote it yesterday as the cream of Irish music and I couldnt help but think it was never sold as that!

    We going for the experience of it and have everything sorted at this, gonna be so interesting to see what the weather is like and the crowds - they are really promoting the lights out thing so will be interesting to see how people respond to it

    Hopefully it will do well. Slane was allegedly selling poorly and they were also pushing ticket sales in the run up. It was almost a sellout.

    Hi is this still for sale ? Interested but wonder will this be enforced ?

    Please note for Car Camping passes the purchaser will be required to bring the original proof of purchase and supporting ID to site along with their pass. (This is to prevent touting of Car Camping passes).

    And for anyone who wants a leisurely stroll in the nature instead of taking the bus then usefully the Blessington Greenway starts at Russborough House and ends at the car park in the Avon Ri complex. It is all signposted so you cant lose your way. Its 6km in length so about a 1.5 hour walk and it winds through farmland with lots of sheep (and cute lambs=), forests and also along the lake shore. Its a really beautiful walk.

    Thinking of bringing myself and girlfriend to this over the weekend. Is this festival viable to go to for a couple who will be drinking/partying? I'm aware that it's family orientated which I don't necessarily mind. Is there a curfew? etC.

    Any help is appreciated.

    I think I remember reading that bands (main stage?) would finish at 10pm... and that they'd keep the campsites quiet at night. Not sure if there's other stuff on into the night though.

    This was what I was remembering
    "As this is a family festival we do not expect it to appeal to a party-goers crowd who would be likely to be causing trouble in the campsites. We will also have security patrolling the campsites at all times, especially at night time after 10pm when the main stage acts are over. The security will be sure to keep noise levels to a minimum throughout the night. "

    i've asked them a few questions.....
    they will be keeping things quiet in the campsites after 10pm
    but how strict that is remains to be seen, is talking and having a beer too loud? who knows

    the main acts will be finished at 10 but they didnt say if everything finishes at ten, we are all in the dark really i think as its the first one,
    I think it will be a case of shifting your normal festival time plans,
    so instead of surfacing at noon and going to bed at 5am
    it will be a case of up at 7 or 8am and bed by midnight or whatever,
    we'll all be awakened by kids everywhere anyway no doubt

    EDIT: you beat me to it Beecee! I forgot my own reply! lol

    hi all

    any recommendations on who to see on the undercard?
    the main line up is grim for my tastes, too sedate and boring
    i'll listen to any genre if its mildly interesting,

    there is a spotify playlist but its very incomplete

    thanks

    I don't know why anybody would bring adults to a kids festival. They would wreck your head all day with their moaning, opinions, drinking and get sick everywhere.

    I saw ads on tv for it over the weekend which is unusual for festivals and there seems lots of promotion going on the radio too. Id say it will get a decent crowd of 15k or so but unlikely to sell out or anything either.

    While not really going for the music, 2 of the few bands I wanted to see were KKC and BellX1....and typical them playing the same time on the same night!

    The bloody clashes are wrecking my head now that the schedule is out.
    I am so looking forward to this, planning at leaving around 10am need to be ready to go for 3pm for action on the main stage!
    Going baking there in a minute to have some handy snacks for the weekend.
    Anyone here bringing stuff? flapjacks etc.

    Bit weird the way they're doing the stage times in that they are absolute clashes. Start and finish times are the exact same on each stage. Most festivals would have a bit of corssover so that you could catch the last half of one act.

    I know 15K is not a lot of people but most likely all to do with crowd control and not have a large crowd with kids rushing to catch another act.
    Why take the risk..

    That's what I was thinking. It get proper crushy when a big act finishes at EP and everybody rushes to the next stage. That said, that could still potentially happen everytime the two acts finish.

    My thoughts exactly when I saw the schedule. Bell x1 v king Kong Company and frank and walters v riptide movement. A bit of each would have been better.
