Does anyone know where I can pick myself up camping chairs in Cork? ANYONE?! Everywhere is sold out

Can't find anywhere that has them either. Going to see if I can find some on the drive up Friday or else I'll just buy one there. I presume they will be on sale in the camp site?

It says on the web site 48 can limit but what about spirits?? is there a limit to number of plastic bottles ( full of spirits) you can bring. So far i have 2 bottles of buckfast, 1 bottle vodka 70cl and i will prob pick up a slab of beer too i presume thats under limit, even though im worried i should take more...

I've never seen any festival ask for ID. From anyone. Walked into Indiependance with a 16 year old(was going to be the guardian if they asked) and nobody said anything.

Depending on how 'babyfaced' you look, I would bring even a photocopy of your passport to air on the safe side. Not for getting in but for the bars inside

They're not getting the greatest reaction over on their fb page.. If it is money-grabbing rather than planning issues tis fairly bad form imo! Not sure why they'd be so in need of the cash when it sold out this year!

You'd think the times and stages for all the bands would be included in the ticket price, this is an absolute joke.

I had a look at the app, its truly awful. Even if it did work I want to limit the use of my phone to calls and texts and not have the battery eaten up my searching an app for the lineup.

Really not cool.

Some very nice man posted this on the EP facebook page.

Complete breakdown of everything but the Comedy tent.

I just pray to God Dylan Moran isn't clashing with someone big!

WHAT IF THE DELAY IN OFFICIAL TIMES IS BECAUSE OF A SECRET SURPRISE FOR US ALL????

Beans_On

in fairness id say its more bad organisation more than anything..seeing as its just the 2 stages to be finalised.
maybe waiting on confirmation from bands as to what time they can play.

it just goes along with the lateness of more or less everything else thus far..including the announcement!

Franz already clash with David Byrne & St. Vincent AND Dylan Moran! Surely they wont put another act as popular as The 1975 on that time too.

I asked Twisted Wheel when/where they will be performing.

"Twisted Wheel
Hi Ciarán, We are playing at 6:30pm on Saturday on the Oxjam stage. Cheers"

So the Oxjam stage is still TBA??
THE FESTIVAL IS LESS THAN 2 DAYS AWAY!!

I know but you'd swear it was life or death...I said it before but I plan to see about 15 acts , see maybe 10 acts and stumble upon 20 I never heard before, I randomly make 200 new friends. You can't see everything if you try see everything you end up missing out on the craic and banter. I go by "picnic time' not "stage times".
