Some nice images, but it would be an absolute cockfest if most lads seen this vid, gives the complete wrong impression, bikini's & hot tub?? Where?

yeah, around the body and soul area, the hot tubs were actually sort of fenced off (to keep out the riff raff & perves ) but I still managed to see em!

It's not a bad video actually, it does capture the essence of the picnic, however the hot chick heading to EP on her own via bus...does not happen, she ensures she is surrounded by adoring prick teased lads of course and is glamping it up in a yurt or daddy's Hummer for the weekend;)

It showed Arcadia also, which is well gone unfortunately.
Good to see they used Orbital music, real EP music I feel.

kinda, they are all waterproof up to a point so one from dunnes could withstand a light shower whereas one from a proper camping place could nearly survive a night in a lake (well maybe not)

Waterproofing them yourself improves this rating like polishing a car for the water to run off.

If you have a cheap tent or a tent for a few years/outings you should apply it

Ah I see. You were mainly talking about cheaper tents. Better quality tents are pretty much 100% waterproof (if put up correctly!). I actually didn’t realise that you could get waterproofing spray for tents, that’s why I was wondering how you were doing it.

Spray eh? That sounds handy. 2 years ago when there was horrific rain for a few of the days, I had a cheapo pop up tent and when the forecast was looking bad I went to a DIY store and bought a big sheet of tarpaulin for around €6, just set up the tent and pinned the sheet over the top of it. Did the job lovely

even if its a top quality one though i'd apply it every few years... must do that myself actually this year. 100 quid tent bought in a sale so its decent and never had any issues but better safe than sorry! Its got a few batterings through the years

Unfortunately not: http://www.songkick.com/artists/479466-queens-of-the-stone-age/calendar?page=5

Been addicted to their new song 'I Sat by the Ocean' so woulda loved it! I presume they are playin in Ireland though which is what the announcement more than likely is.

complete long shot but.....

would they be playing both days of that festival? It could let them play the Friday travel Saturday and preform Sunday over there?

probably not though

honru

Sounds like they will be announcing a UK/Ireland tour for winter, perfect timing after their Download gig.
