They take you over to the dance tent where you'll fully appreciate your amphetamines. Sound lads.

Nah, unless you're dealing in plain sight or involved in trouble, you won't be searched.

Not true. Plain clothes officers patrolling area past wristband exchange and randomly pick people out to be brought in for search. Happened to me last year.

I've won a heineken competition with 2 weekend camping tickets and I'm on the guestlist. I was wondering if it would work if I went in and collected the wristbands came back out and gave them to my brother. He can stay the whole weekend and I can't - have work Saturday and Sunday.

know 2 crew members who have said security extremely tight this year with them and assume that the security with everyone is going to be the same. Security company has changed this year. Watch out and if ur supposed to bring I.D. do...

actually prob better to bring your brother in and saying put the wrist band on him, not me...

Nooooooo... Don't say that!! They'll part time power hungry security people, who are nasty, bullied in school & were refused entry into the guards!

I don't see why they do this at EP, yet at events like the SHM gig last year drugs mightaswell have been legal they were flaunted so much. Fair enough if someone is clearly off their head during daylight when families are around or someone is dealing, but pulling people over randomly for tiny amounts achieves very little in reducing crime or harm.

Not a good idea that I listened to Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85-92 tonight. They really need to get their sh1t together and book him next year. This is more a travesty than Man Utd not buying a midfielder.

is there a rave in the forest this year?

Like the crowd at Indiependence!

I'm hoping the (festival wide) vibe will be the same as every other year, lets hope the organisation is better than that silly map they printed...

Its a strange one alright. Have a friend who was caught with a small amount of weed going in last year, valued by the guards at 10 euro. He was down in Portlaoise Court there in June along with around 100 other minor drug possessions. 300 quid fine for each and every one caught first time. Conviction for everyone second time caught, even if they'd been caught twice with a 5 spot or minimal amounts like that. Sounds like a waste of time and money, bigger fish to fry surely.

Pretty good list that just back from a gig up in Derry and I'm wrecked going to make out a list tomorrow!

Lot's of good stuff going on and I'm sure all best laid plans will sway but it's part of the fun



Also, as for this fun fair in Hendrix, will it be on all night or shut off at a certain time!?

Does anyone know if you can bring water from the campsite to the arena or if there's water stations that you can fill empty bottles with or even better free water bottles. Thanks

There's a fair few water stations in the arena where you can refill a bottle.

I have a feeling all liquids have to be chucked / finished before going into the arena so bring in an empty and refill as needed.

Uses the data from the clashfinder at

Hopefully that clashfinder has a complete timetable before we all head off in the morning.

just know that the crew who having been working sooo hard all week had to bring in photo i.d. to get their wrist bands. I wouldn't take a risk - use the gig locker if u have to.

Lads apologies if its already been asked but thread is HUGE! Thought I'd be quicker asking you all..

Which campsite is best? Want one that's not miles away from everything but that's also quiet enough that you'll get some sleep. If anyone can help or point me to page number of this thread that might discuss this I'd appreciate it!

Going to bump this question as I could do with an answer myself!

What site do people recommend?

Despite its appearance on the map(which is totally wrong) Wilde is far far smaller and way more manageable than Hendrix and Warhol or whatever it's called this year. Those two are beyond vast with tents up over the horizon. It's like a bombsite refugee camp by Saturday night. Still fun but I always found Wilde to be a much more relaxed affair and its closer to everything to, being almost inside the centre of things. Plus it's surrounded by trees on three sides so all the sound is blocked out and it can be a lot quieter for snoozes. Should you be a big Jessie and need one.

My two cents.

I honestly have no idea what I'm going to do with myself in that 7-9 window on Sunday...

Eels + FF/Warpaint + David Byrne/Blondes + Mount Kimbie/King Kong Company/Dylan Moran/ potentially CHVRCHES and Jagwar Ma?!?!

Fugs!!

Finished work in 7 hours then off I go....

Yes - this is a total clusterf*!k.

The more I listen to, and based on some live YouTube vids, I have a growing feeling that the David Byrne show is going to be both totally epic and have a really good vibe to it so am going to that whatever happens.

Now I'm off to my happy place where for some reason Jagwar Ma are put on around 4.30 in the Cosby tent...

eire_lad

any idea what time crystal fighters gig is on Sunday? think its gonna be cosby stage but no time..

david75

Hipster O clock. Which means they played yesterday and hipsters are over them already.

Just messin. There's a good few bands I can't find on any of the planner yokes too.

Higgeldy

Oh deary deary deary me. The other half has just been informed he bought a fake ticket!!! He stupidly missed his last installment through Ticketmaster last month, so went and bought one off someone in work. The guy just phoned and said they were all fake, that he didn't realise himself...


The next 24 hours are gonna be SO fun..... I'll buy him an overpriced laynard and a t-shirt!

On a different note, anyone need a lend of a 4 man tent, only need a little bubble dome now!
