Has anyone ever stayed in Bootique camping?

after looking at the map it doesnt show showers in there but yet the podpads website stated they'd have their own toilets and showers(festival permitting)

Just wanted to check if they had them in previous years, with it been my 11th electric picnic I fancied having a shower for the first time

Yep, toilets and showers and rarely more than a 2 minute queue for shower.

Do you prebook the gig lockers or buy when you get there

I know what you mean, arrive clothed and strip off when you get inside. Leave valuables back at base camp. Be prepared, they are very basic, but worth a quick scrub, bit of a shock when you arrive in and there are a hundread men showering in front of you. Wud advise wearing flip flops when showering.

From the Electric Picnic website, on the page about the showers: "Please **** as discreetly as possible and avoid prolonged eye contact while doing so."

The met eireann 5 day forecast also doesn't look the worst. I think we'll be grand lads!

From todays Irish Times;

"Tomorrow, we’ll bring you the first glimpse at the Main Stage lineup and the set times, and we’ll be releasing the remaining stage times and lineups as the week goes on, before any other media".

Also I just got a slab of Heineken for 30 euro in tesco!

Where did you get the wet gear if you don't mind me asking? Need a pair of waterproof trousers just in case and a poncho.

Thanks Larry. What time does the festival generally continue to in the evening, the bars dont close to 1 o clock.

Bar actually closes around 12? If I remember correctly! But saying that I could be completely wrong as concept of time goes out the window at EP!

Lads I got 2 ponchos in the Euro Shop, photo attached, €2 each. I've always found this type of rain gear to be great for the price of it, it comes down to my knees, I'm 5ft 8.
And yes, you'll be able to spot me from space :P

The material is quite thick too. I'd say it's along the same lines as a raincoat out of Penneys or Dunnes.
