Now to my question. Anyone ever been asked for proof of purchase for a camper pass?

We've been in campervans the last six years I think and have never been asked

Unless we get the map or a decent band announcement, then TodayFM can fup off.

I was generally calm about the way the announcements were going this year, but really annoyed this last week

GhostMutt30 · 22-08-2019 8:58am

Maybe Freetown announcement today, map tomorrow

Ferris_Bueller · 22-08-2019 9:00am

I think Three said last week that they would be announcing their Made by Music stage today didnt they?

Hi Guys!!!!

Officially in single digits, on night shift and have severe EP butterflies!!!

Like others I am not overly excited by the line up, to be fair EP could announce a one man band in a tent and I would turn up for the craic! Live for this weekend each year, a place like no other!!!

Any one else getting pre session jitters??? :eek::eek::eek::eek:

CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!

I remember Ed Sheerin in (I think) Electric Arena. He was rubbish.

I presume the Made by Music stage will be acts from Three's Made by Music initiative where they put Irish acts together to make new songs, videos, etc.

This year, they've two tracks out on it - one from David Kitt, Fehdah and Kean Kavanagh, and one from Soule, Elaine Mai and Sorcha Richardson. Are any of those on the bill yet? There's a third track on the way, I think but I dunno who is involved.

Last year, they did Jafaris, Saint Sister and Kormac. Think the Saint Sister track was quite successful.

Because they do paint ball there during the year and other outdoor activities in the stradbally estate. Obviously not during the weekend of EP though the idea of shooting some hunzos in the face does sound appealing.

As a hunzo I was going to pretend to be shocked and appalled, then thought about how much fun it would be shooting paintballs at the 18 year olds in bucket hats and the 'yah, I'd just really recommend doing a summer in Thailand, it's where I got these trousers that I've been wearing since Friday, y'knowwhatimeanloike?' crowd. I can't be a hypocrite. Just make sure you shoot glitter at me too.

The 'loike' part really painted an excellent picture there!

I was in a campervan twice, and we displayed the sticker,(isn’t that what your suposed to do?) hence, no checking required, as it was displayed.

I'll be floating around Harvest Moon and Freetown mostly with glitter and UV paint for anyone who wants a splash of colour. Adulting gets boring, being a total hun in Stradbally livens it up a bit.

Woke up with phone on 5% and no alarm set this morning, had to get a taxi and rush into work.

Great gig though

Only took them a month to actually think to apologise. Won't be getting my money again that's for sure. I noticed they said capacity will not increase. I think they are actually decreasing capacity as I doubt they would get that license again.

Ficcss · 22-08-2019 1:07pm

Still no announcement Today... What we thinking are going to get another big name (electronic) or just some fillers if anything at all?

Ferris_Bueller · 22-08-2019 1:09pm

Three Made by Music stage announced.

The majority of those had already been announced

Has anybody sold a tent in Pink Moon on toutless? I have a 2-man tent to sell as we managed to get a 4-man tent instead this year. Just wondering what's the best way to go about it? Selling gig tickets is one thing when you have physical tickets to hand over to the buyer. All I have from Pink Moon is an email confirmation.

I'm looking to buy pink moon tent if you still have it?

If anyone is interested I have a 2 man Bell tent in pink moon to sell. Cost me 470, will take 450 for it. Adverts and donedeal aren't taking any EP ads this year. Just can't go myself, I have the email confs., cr card, etc etc and can meet to show it's genuine. Cheers.

Is this still available?

Court123! · 22-08-2019 1:14pm

As you can probably tell I'm looking for a two man pink moon tent if anyone has one going please!

Not much of a suprise there, I still think it'll be more of a corporate version of other voices but hopefully I'm wrong. Some decent acts in there all the same. Cassia do really sound like vampire weekend and the Scratch are a good act also.

are we assuming this is in the very same place as OV was??

you wouldnt want any noise bleed when serpentwithfeet is on.

22-08-2019 1:27pm

theres nothing more frustrating than an announcement with acts already bloody announced

Yeah I agree, give us something that's not been announced already and who hasn't played the festival before.

Good question--no idea!!! Don't know the size of this new stage. The Other Voices "community hall size"--was it a permanent building there????

And yes, you wouldn't, would you...

Quite a few here i want to see but all playing elsewhere. Might help with clashes but a big disappointment as thought there might be some new music to check out.

definitely missing a completely new Other Voices announcement... and id say the actual numbers of acts playing this year must be down about 20% on last year

I'd agree...I'd say they are not playing elsewhere. The names were announced previously (in the most part if not all) and now they're being divvied up amongst the stages....have this vision of loads of people with cards with band names throwing them into buckets with "Main", "Three", "Cosby"...and an almighty row ensuing...

alastair · 22-08-2019 1:56pm

Never mind Three - the real news is that Picado are going to have an outlet down in what looks like Freetown.

I've a spare Eco-Camping ticket, first to drop me a PM can have it. Include your email address so I can forward it.

Gone Already!

shinyshoos · 22-08-2019 2:10pm

I have a question about performers tickets. Usually I’m a general admission/pink moon girl but defaulted to ATN this year and couldn’t afford both festivals!
But the fomo gods have landed me a performers ticket for EP.... are there any perks to the ticket like fancy loos or a separate campsite? I’ve never general camped so I’m trying to prepare myself!
