anyone experience of a 2 man from pink moon?

also is there much craic there or all quite?

chances of losin each other in jimmy Hendrix high!!

Edit: one more question can you bring any mates into the area for cans or just the 2 staying?

They are big enought(actually 3 man) you have craic with your mates not same buzz as regular campsite persay but if your "a craic merchant, you attract the craic" that what I say!!

It depends how many tents, if its just one then time isn't that important, I reckon you would still get a 'good spot' on Friday evening.

If its 2,3-4 tents then I think 12 might be a bit late. And BTW your head will be melted trying to keep a large amount of free space, if possible try and take all the tents and just roll them out in the spaces you want.

I was thinking about bringing a black sack or 2 and just pegging them down when we leave ha

Also the Minutes must have been given the wrong details because according to bandsintown they are on at 11pm on the Rankin Woods stage which makes a lot more sense.

The Minutes

Electric Picnic
Stradbally, Co Laois
County Laois, Ireland
Rankins Wood Stage - 11pm

Any chance you'd have a pic? I was in there looking at torches today and you know with that shop there's so many hit and miss products I ended up not buying one.

Pretty much exactly like that. They've ones with hooks and ones without. The hook ones are handy for inside the tent. You'll need to buy AAA batteries to run them.

A friend grabbed one also on TM earlier, and he's absolutely delighted, we had been looking on ebay and they are cheaper than I thought they would be. With the sold out status, I thought they would be going for big money, but another friend got one for 275, which is not that much over the odds, think I paid around 240ish and there seems to be no shortage of them either, which is good for those who want to go badly.

Great to hear those who snagged those tickets that went on TM, must be a relief to get sorted.

Any lineup updates on Other Voices Stage??

So lads, how bad exactly is the vandalism and robbery?
Some people make it out to be seriously bad and others have never seen a thing.

This year is my third year and I've only ever heard or seen of silly things been robbed like folding chairs, flags or the odd hat taken off someone's head! Don't bring anything you can't afford to loose, like iPhones, fancy cameras and such

Bad news, pamper palace isnt going to be there this year, they announced that a few weeks ago on their fb page. Dont know if another company took their place. If it helps, she can do what I did: travel mirror €10, cordless gas powered straighteners €25 in argos. That, dry shampoo and a decent hat should see her through

because of your tip the other beansey there is now alot of happy ladies in our group. Picked up a straightner today. Theres even talk of ditching the hats

Could never go to a festival without a hat. But then I have fery unpredictable hair. A cross between Russell Brand & Mrs Doyle when I have no access to straighteners.

Wish herself the good graces of the hair gods

One of the best parts of the picnic is being sprawled out on the grass listening to Dublin gospel choir!

Well... Kate Bush is on a roll now, and what with the regular Ryanair service...

PabloAndRoy

For the Android App:

BUG WARNING: If you add to Itinerary or Reminders some of the clashfinder acts that have not guaranteed start and end times (e.g at the moment The Minutes and Cathy Davey) REMOVE THEM and wait for the stage times to stabilise (official times tomorrow morning in the irish times?).

If you have these added and those times change then the app will not start again.. you will need to either uninstall and reinstall… or remove data from System Settings->Apps. You will then need a network connection to start again and you will have lost your itinerary and reminders.

In short, remove those acts until the stage times are finalised.

Sorry about the potentially nasty bug.

unless there is going to be a guest slot in the EA I doubt it, surely she wouldnt play somewhere like the B&S main stage?

They look like they'd be the job for grinding up your herbal accompaniments as well.

If anyone is still looking for wellies Heatons have them for 14 euro, I ordered them online and got them for 11.20 (left them in my basket for a day or so then a discount was implemented) then went and collected them, could be a bit late for that option due to it taking a few days for the order to go through but still 14 quid in store aint bad!

3 long, long days in wellies is a killer, get boots, and good double lined socks.
Shoezone have perfectly fine boots for 20 Euro, Tesco have double lined, blister resistant socks for 5 Euro, for 2 pairs.
