just home from leeds fest, the prospect of another festival is daunting

Rest & sleep, lots of vitamins, good food, refuel the body and you will be fine. Take a slow start to the weekend.

Will Lanards they sell on site have all stages and times covered?
As i'm looking at clashfinder here an its only now that you get the feel of how many stages there actually are?

First timer by the way

They are so many stages that the lanyard would be a book around your neck if they printed them all.
The major tents, Salty Dog, Main stage, RBMA are probably all that will be on the lanyard. Who knows.

Your best bet is to print of the three days of Clashfinder on Friday morning before leaving for EP.

A few more weather sites seem to all be saying the same thing. Might not be as bad as first feared

You can just highlight them on clashfinder before you print. You can even do multiple highlights, one for you, one for your better half, one for your mother.. then you can see where your family and friends are also going ..

Anyone know if there's a mini-bus running to Carlow late at night? Too old and refined for camping so trying to figure out ways of not having to drive. Or any recommendations of someone who might do a good deal on 3 round trips from Carlow, picking up each night around 2-3?

First clash. Beck and David O'Doherty.

Booo

Have they announced the comedy tent times?

Foals are my number 1 must see. I'd give them 3 hours if I could

Hope they play a good mix of the 1st two albums rather then all Holy Fire.

Two Steps, Twice is a must!

They did at the Olympia during the year!

Other Voices

The first few of our Other Voices family have made their way to Stradbally and are hard at work, giving our leafy clearing the OV treatment. Hearts taking pride of place, of course!

Foals leave me completely cold, I must say. Gave each album a chance but nothing clicked. Just not for me.

Those screamy young Dublin lads of Girl Band, however, sound like something I've been waiting twenty years to hear. 'Lawman' is mindblowing.

Setlist.fm seems to indicate a good mix from all 3 albums in their festival set list... given they're scheduled for a good 1 1/4, we might even see more than the 11-12 tracks listed in most of their summer appearances to date... Two Steps making plenty of appearances as well

Weather really is starting to look like it's going to be poxy.

Haven't decided yet if camping. I may or not be going over and back each day.

Taxi driver I know charges reduced rate of 25 euro back to Carlow. If you got a bus over - it wouldn't be that bad.

I am refusing to look at weather forecasts. They really have no idea what is going on. It is ranging from the poxy to heatwave.

Huh? If anything the weather forecasts have been improving since the original outlook this week.

anyone recommend any DJs to check out from Casa Bacardi or Rave in the woods before hand on spotify?

I'd be into Flume, Disclosure that kind of stuff if there's anything similar!

cheers

Kyrstal Klear, Annie Mac, Kaytranada, Ejeca, The 2 Bears, Dimitri from Paris all might be ones you'd like!

Useful.Idiot

Foals are a fantastic live act. Saw them twice this year and the sets are a great mix of all three albums, even though I think Holy Fire is their best so far!

Furious-Red

Here in Kildare its a lovely day. Sun is out , there were a few dark clouds earlier but nothing came of them. Its not as warm as it was for most of the summer but still nice.


Bacardi

Our recreation of the Edificio de Bacardí is really starting to take shape. Here's another sneak peek ‪#‎CasaBacardí‬

There were a few about last year so it shouldn't be an issue as long as you get there in enough time to find a spot for them!

Already a clash for me, Girl Band and Foals. Will be choosing Foals for sure but was looking forward to seeing Girl Band. Glass Animals and Outkast clashing too but since Glass Animals are listed on both the Body & Soul and general sections of the line up will that mean they might play a tent somewhere as well?

Furious-Red

I was thinking about a gazebo myself just for the reason it would stop people camping on the communal area ha.

Met Éireannn and MT Cranium both predict showers on Friday morning before clear weather till followed by clear weather till Sunday. Sunday might have a few showers but it's not looking disastrous by any means.

Thought it was just a load of wailing to be honest. Nothing you wouldn't have heard on any old band demo in the 90s.
