Looks interesting and great value. the max of "12 units" of alcohol is a bit crap, isn't a can like 1unit?

A 330ml one maybe. One of those 5% 500ml bottles from Lidl is 1.9 units.

I might be going blind but where are you seeing that? Barn Dance this year was byob up around the same area and there were no restrictions. Maybe its just to discourage people showing up with 2 crates, cant see them being that strict.

hope they've got whatever legal stuff properly sorted, sessions down there before have been relatively low-key, but this is being plastered absolutely everywhere....

will this be inside tents or whats the story? id imagine it will be freezing by the end of October beside a lake.

it was up on the site yesterday, but doesn't seem to be there now. they said on facebook that 12 units is "a guide" as they'd prefer people drink responsibly.

first lot of €45 early bird tickets sold out earlier today, they've just released 100 more, then after that it will be €55.

They have had festivals in glendalough before.. just never one with house or any sort of dance music really. They usually had 3000+ at them

ghostdancer

they've had several with dance music in Glendalough House before, nothing as big as this though that i can remember.

Ah, sorry I was looking on the Glendalough website and looked like it was only rock and the likes.. No mention of banging house tunes for some reason...

Got my ticket for this a few days ago. Can not wait.

Going to get cracking on my Inspector Norse costume over the next few days.

THIS WEEKEND! Anyone else pumped for this Sunday? Costumes sorted? Any ideas on how many stages there'll be? How big the marquees/tents are?

ghostdancer

not doing a costume [/killjoy]

i believe there's 3 stages. 1 Bodytonic one, 1 Bedlam one, possibly an Emergence one too?

e: the website says there's 4 stages.

Celtic Tiger

Bus booked for 6, now to stock up on the buckfast. Pity about the weather but they've said the stages are covered.

Celtic Tiger

Stage times just released http://www.samhain-festival.com/stage-times/

Do you think they would allow you on any bus or only the time you specifically booked for? (I am talking about official travel through Marathon)
