are we talking about the same group of lads robbing? i was there for all of it, he came straight back after seeing the bag and he definately played it cool considering other people wanted to batter them.it was close to kicking off but never did.the guards got all 3 lads in the end and more bags of stuff this morning.
Other people did want to drag them out until they were told to wait for the security or guards who were on their way while your mate was asking them for a smoke, the reason we were all around that tent and curious about the lads inside was due to the fact I had chased someone through woods for twenty minutes before he was taken away by the guards. I found his discarded phone and having been directed to that tent earlier in the night by four other campers, who genuinely saved the day as they had nothing robbed on them but helped me immensely, we put the sim in your mates meteor phone and tried ringing the number belonging to a person we suspected of being in the tent. Your mate then saw the bag.
It was a great result and an eventful night but the Guards were on their way when he decided to ask for a smoke and they would have nabbed them there and then. Did your mate who got his stereo, watch and aftershave back get his Ipod?
That would be awesome. 0 -
THE GOOD:
Fever Ray - absolutely incredible. And big thank you to the nice guy with the hat standing behind me who got an obnoxiously loud man singing to shut up.; I barely heard her for the first three songs because all I could hear was him. :mad:
But other than that, Fever Ray was definitely my highlight.
Janelle Monaé - That girl can dance. And sing. Excellent set.
Friendly Fires - Their singer dances even better than Janelle Monaé
Cathy Davey, Duke Special, Modest Mouse, The Horrors - all good sets.
Campsite - We were in Warhol and witnessed little to no trouble. Heard a few people in Wilde got robbed though.
General atmosphere around the place - apart from the obnoxious drunk twats, there was a pretty good atmosphere all over.
THE BAD:
My own stupidity; I stupidly drank too much Saturday and ended up needing to sleep it off for a bit.
As a result, I missed Crystal Castles, who I heard were epic. I also very stupidly missed These New Puritans because I thought they were on Sunday instead of Saturday.
Laura Marling - had to cut her set short because no-one could hear her. Well done to the scheduling genius who decided to stick her in Crawdaddy where thumping bass from a nearby gig completely drowned her out.
The crowd at Modest Mouse - I hope you shirtless drunk moshers who decided to keep ramming into me and my friends got hypothermia, alcohol poisoning and broken bones. :mad::mad:
Some poor girl fainted at Fever Ray. The heat and smoke effects probably got to her. Hope she was ok after.
The rain Sunday night. I was gonna see Masive Attack Sunday night but decided it wasn't worth it (had already seen them live before, so wasn't that pushed). Eventually, our tent leaked and we abandoned it. Took off to Dublin at 5am, paying an extra €15 t get another bus back.
Overall: The good far outweighed the bad. Would definitely go back again.

It was lucky for us they were idiots alright, your mate spotted the bag and then either him or someone else recognized they were playing really specific mixes of songs that were probably only on your mate Dave's ipod - my mate who spotted this thread lives with your mate Niamh, another ridiculous coincidence - so they did themselves no favors.
They had robbed my zoom recorder -worth about 300 quid, a fact they were obviously unaware of when they made off with Dave's ipod - and it had interviews from that day with ASIWYFA, Jerry Fish and a poet called Stephen Murphy (i think) cause I work for a show on 98fm called Totally Irish. It was an amazing relief getting the stuff back.
Great story, cheers for the extra info, see you next year in any other campsite. 0 -

My first EP, having been at a few Oxegens, a Rock Werchter and a Pukkelpop and I must say I think EP tops them all!
Booka Shade, Tiga, Cathy Davey, Hot Chip were class! I'm a little ashamed that I actually didn't make it to so many things I wanted to (missed Janelle Monae, Seasick Steve, Imelda May and some others) but we were having so much craic in the campsite and doing all kinds of things it didn't matter.
Raggae music place and Neutronyx (rave in the woods) were so cool. I would've stayed in that woods forever on Saturday night, some laugh.
Rain last night was some balls, couldn't get over how bad it was! Went to see Massive Attack but the tiny crowd had zero atmosphere because of the weather. We went over to watch Laurent Garnier but couldn't even get into the tent because everyone was trying to get in out of the rain
The night was saved when we found the circus tent was having a disco so we stayed in there busting grooves for the night, brilliant!
Overall a deadly weekend!0 -
