    I've worked Oxegen a half dozen times, EP 3 times and loads of small gigs and festivals. This is the first time I paid for a festival for the entire weekend, and I'm more excited than for any others! :D Scroobius Pip is gonna make my weekend! :D

    Nearly all set now and seriously looking forward to this!!

    Just 2 quick questions if anyone can help me...

    When it says no bbqs, gas cannisters or glass on site - does this mean the festival site or is it festival site including campsite? Just wondering if we could bbq in campsite?

    And then if Im bringing a coolerbox can I buy ice somewhere (at the bar in mini-village) or should I put ice in it before leaving home? Trying to cut down on weight that I need to carry.

    No BBQs anywhere please folks. We don't have anywhere selling ice either, it's tough enough keep it onsite for bars

    Any idea what alcohol will be sold on site?

    I know last year it was pints of Bavaria for 5 euro and Bacardi rum. Will it be the same this year?

    Also, will there be an offy-type set up on-site selling cans? If so, any idea of prices/brands?

    Thanks!

    I`m having trouble deciding between this and Liss Ard- help?

    I think Liss Ard would be more intimate, smaller too maybe 3 and a half thousand people, whilst Indiependence is considerably larger. If you like your alternative rock and electro stuff Id imagine you would like indie, Liss Ard would be more eclectic, has lesser stages with music from the 80s and 90s with Bob Mould, Paul Buchannan etc, excellent reggae from Toots (from 1960s to present) and David Rodigan and some cool electro from Nicolas Jaar who closes the main stage on Saturday night.

    If you want to get into it, you got to get out of it. (Hawkwind 1982)

    Off the top of my head, Bavaria, Bacardi, Bulmers and Wine amongst others.

    No offy. It wasn't in demand last year really.

    I think the air coach and bus eireann pass through there on the way to Dublin. Not sure if it's different on Bank Holiday Mondays though.

    On another topic, what kind of state was the car park in last year? Any problems getting an underpowered Fiesta out of there on Monday!? :pac:

    The Aircoach used stop in Mitchelstown alright but it stopped doing so sometime in June I believe.

    Bus Eireann's your best bet.. http://www.buseireann.ie/pdf/1340978656-8.pdf

    If tickets aren't sold out by then, are there any plans to sell 2 day camping tickets on Saturday?

    Asking for a friend who'd only be able to make it down on the Saturday..

    Cheers for that , think my friend will drop me into Cork city centre to get the train since it will stop in Kildare instead of sending me to dublin and then having to go back to Kildare . Hopefully the train i want to get will be going on the bank holiday weekend

    The last time I was there was two years ago. I think that was my favorite part of it. Great crowd and atmosphere, didn't see any scumbags, and it was nice being able to come back to your tent without worrying if it was lit up or robbed.

    Thought there would be more hype on here about this! Really looking forward to :)

    Will the nearest pubs in Mitchelstown be jammed for sunday dinner? Could probably do with some good food at some stage of the weekend.

    Cork footballers are playing at 2pm on Sunday in the AI Quarter Finals, so i'd say every pub will be fairly packed with both locals, and people from the festival.

    If looking for grub/match/pub on sunday, the Hunters Rest at the top of the town has serious grub.
