When I was searching for accom a few places had beds the Friday and Sunday night. Saturday was booked out everywhere.

The Gandon Hotel, Emo, Ireland was one. You've to email, can't book online. She said room there Friday and Sunday, €60 and includes breakfast. Could be gone now though.

Emo is 10km from Stradbally hall, not sure how much it would be in a taxi.

Yeah i came across the Gandon hotel alright but its 100quid a night per person, bit out of my price range. Doesn't seem to be much else accom around portlaoise apart from one or two camping sights

Azealia Banks definitely out. Scheisse...

I'm hoping still to get early birds but it's looking unlikey but gonna try and hold out as long as I in just incase. :-) :-)

Optimism is key ;-)

Oh ya what time do you think the Jimi hendrix will be full by ?
I was hoping to get near the guards but won't get there till around 3pm

:-) :-)

So excited now :-P

Early Birds?

Jimi Hendrix won't fill up, you should be ok for 3pm. Getting there for 12 myself

If you have a bus ticket to return Monday is it easy enough to return at a different time if needed, say Sunday night (or possibly Saturday night if needed)?? please
Also the buses that leave on Sunday night - do they leave regularly or at certain times or how does it work?

You mean the raging torrent that was friday night last year?

I have good memories of dancing away to Donal Dineen in BnS in the midst of that downpour last year - sopping wet but happy.

Hopefully he gives as good a show this year.

Might seem like a silly question, but whats the better campsite? is one closer to the arena than the other? Leaves less of a risk getting lost wandering drunk back to your tent!

Hendrix is closest to arena I reckon. Camped there last year and plan on doing the same this year.

If you're a fan of hanging out in the campsite shooting the breeze with people, I'm guessing one of the others would be better. That's not so much my scene - I plan on spending as much of my weekend at the various stages etc. as possible.

Hendrix is usually handier. Oscar Wilde tends to have more complaints of scangers and people who broke in & linger around to cause trouble and loot.

Once you have a bus a ticket they don't really care which ones you take down, it's just to get a rough number of busses needed.

They leave regularly from 10pm I think on Sunday

Great thanks, I assume that goes for buses leaving EP too ye...

Nice helter skelter. Always wanted a go

I remember the absolute downpour during Ed Sharpe at the Salty Dog. But aside from that, despite all weather reports saying that we were in for torrential rain all weekend, it was pretty awesome for the rest of the festival. So I'm taking all the forecasts this year with a pinch of salt, we'll know when we get there

I'm not saying it will be torrential rain. It wont be anything like that. We will have 2 bands of rain over the course of the whole weekend. I'd be happy with that. Plenty of drying time between the fronts so things should be grand.

Looks like the first front will hit from around 5 until 9 tomorrow. Tents will be well up on dry ground by 5. The front will pass, the party will ignite.

Are ep strict on the over 18 policy im 18 next month and look old enough but have bought a ticket should i get an ID?

I'm holding you personally responsible for any rain! :mad:

What are people going to try to do differently this year? Last year I spent waaaay too much time in the VIP section and my tent area. I want to go on more wanders this year, see more acts, and of course chat with more ladies :cool:

don't bother coming too young

Does anyone recall whether the campsite Centra or anywhere else on site sells bags of ice? I remember having this question last year; can't remember what the answer was . . .

Stand in the middle of the field at exactly 5pm with a massive umbrella and when they flock for shelter you can break the ice with "I predicted this you know?".

Everyone is making me paranoid asking if it the campsites will be full be 3pm etc.

I cant make it down until about 7pm, has anyone experience going that late before?

Q: Will I be able to purchase ice on site?
A: Yes, ice will be available in the Campsite shop.

Mr November

Does anyone know how Pinkmoon camping works (and/or other boutique campsites) in respect of people arriving at different times on the same booking?
E.g. 6 man tent booked and some people arriving Friday morning, evening and night. So If each individual person just arrives with a record of the reference number, does that suffice (and they just tick off the number of people vs the booking as they arrive)???
OR is the first person who arrives going to be given 6 camping wristbands and end up having to meet up with everyone as they arrive to get them into pink moon!?

There's not a hope it'll be full by 3pm.

You'll be fine at 7pm.

I set up at camp at 4pm on the Saturday last year. Admittedly there wasn't a huge amount of space left but it was grand to find space for two tents

Cheers dude

Hypothetically (of course), how would one go about bringing a small glass bottle into the festival without any problems? Any suggestions?

Pour it into a plastic one.

That'll be probably the politest suggestion you'll get here. If it is medication like insulin or something btw they won't bother you.
