Does anyone know what time Donal Dineen is on at?

Cheers.

Easier to list the times he's not on at

Six different sets over the weekend announced so far but if you want to get your dance on then it'd be the 11pm set on Saturday @ the Earthship stage you want.

The rest of his sets carry an "Ambient" tag.

Sound! Thanks a million. He's a lecturer of mine so I wanted to have a gander.

My girlfriend's early bird ticket arrived this morning - in a hand written envelope with a note saying that her ticket had arrived with this persons tickets. He was honest enough to post it on to her out of his own pocket.
Amazing! Restores some faith in humanity.
Major cock up by Ticketmaster though, if the ticket had been sold on and the buyer arrived down there before my gf, she wouldn't have got in.

So if you are reading, thanks Mark, you are a lifesaver!!!

Anybody know what time the 1975 are on? Can't seem to find it.

I've been to 5 or 6 picnics, (it's a blur )
Can anyone tell me what minefields is?and the global green area?
I've managed to never see these in all my time.

And does anyone remember the giant cube made of pingpong balls with lights inside? Saw that one year and loved it and never saw it againsadly.

I'd ring Ticketmaster anyway and tell them - and make sure ticket is ok. It probably is but double check anyway.

My band are playing there for the first time, feeling unbelievably excited at this stage, it's like waiting for Christmas morning! (Trailer Park stage 20:30 on Saturday)

Minefields is usually down behind the Main Stage and is where all the intelligentsia (:)) hang out - the Literary tent is there, Today FM does the Friday night show & Sunday morning from there I think (I heard Tubridy there also), the wine/food tent, Hot Press tent.

Global Green is where all the arty farty 'real' stuff is - weaving, wood turning, etc, etc. Although in fairness, there is usually some really cool sculptures, seating areas down there.

I'd like to say I'd go down and support you - but there is an ice cube's chance in hell if Robert Plant is on the main stage at the same time:o Sorry

Ah feck. I wanted to line the walls in my front room like that and hook it up to a laptop. It'd be deadly:)

wanted to see them both, and xxxy, who is playing the RBMA stage at the same time as them too.

Body and Soul main stage has a *Very Special Guest* on the bill late on Sunday.

So it is David Bowie or is it Daft Punk?

...or The Killers :eek:

Weak looking at the pics on the daily edge. The tiered seating looks a bit out of place. No doubt il be screaming for it come Sunday!!!

Disclosure vs. xxxy is currently winning my painful clash of the Picnic award. Expecting worse to come once all the Sunday times are known.
