Might seem like a silly question but it says on the site that the festival ends at midnight Sunday and campsite closes midday Monday. Does that mean the music ends each night at midnight or going in to the very early hours of the morning?
Doesnt seem like the type of festival that would end at midnight each night.

Thats just on Sunday night, Friday and Saturday its 4 am like the Picnic, well with other stages anyway, but the main stage goes on till late enough.

rightjob!

Think the music went on till 6 am on Friday and Saturday last year, and you could bring drink into the arena after 11 pm

rightjob!

Is there smaller stages like in electric picnic that you can bring drink to during the day?
Hoping the weather clears up but should be a great weekend.

That is the exact same as the 2013 one! Still buzzing for this, nonetheless

Off to this.

Sadly, due to work I can probably only go for one night and day. But at the same time I'm not too upset because previous experience with the aftermath of festivals has been horrific

Is the general buzz around the site grand? I was at Castlepalooza last year and even though the lineup was ****e the compact nature of the site and festival made it a brilliant bit of craic for the weekend

Its a well run shop mate, the site is fairly compact with a nice array of food stalls on offer, Eco Bus etc, phone charging facilities and novelty hippy festival dress up shops. There is about six or seven stages on the go. In the main arena you have the main stage which improves with the visuals big time each year, close by is the Red Bull stage and further up is the Liquid tent for your daily drum n bass and dubstep, roots reggae pleasure. The only bit of walking is the walk to the lakeside but its a lovely wee walk in fairness, after the Liquid tent you hit the Psi Trance Village or outdoor stage of all sorts of colours and installations, across from that is the Lectro-Soul chill tent and the Radio tent. Eventually you come to the Human stage, another open air stage with more of a live element than electronica, with bands and musicians as such and the divine lakeside as the stages backdrop. The lakeside also has bars, food stalls and novelty hippy stalls, also a select number of ice cream vans dotted about the site which was absolutely perfect in 2012 for the May heatwave. Life also has some nice installations dotted about the place it looks like they are trying to corner a bit of the Body&Soul boutique feel. There was some nice touches last year such as the wee DJ booth set up at the top of the hill, basically the music makers for the Radio tent situated at the bottom of the hill. You will love it.

What's the attendance and crowd in general like? Does anyone know of any arrangement for travelling from Cork?

bodhrandude

2006 - 500 capacity 2007 - 2008 it was 2,000 capacity, 2009 - 2013 it was 5,000 capacity I think, this year I think it been increased to 8,000 capacity, I think Body&Soul festival is doing the same changes capacity wise as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_Festival

If you look one or two pages back I think there was a few people from Cork talking about a bus being organised, pm one of them I'd say.

Here's hoping the weather stays like this now, its absolutely gorgeous just like Life 2012 weather.

I'm heading up to start work in the morning, looking forward to walking the site and seeing what changes are being made this year...

Gonna be a long week ahead before gates open, but I do love being there early. Nothing like being part of making it happen and seeing all the happy people arrive on the Friday.

Ben Pearce and Co are playing down by the lake this year....Should get a nice crowd down that end of site, never got that busy last year with the human music stage -

all change with the stages so!

there's a Bodytonic one this year, the Red Bull one is going to be bigger, and there'll be Ragga and Dub on the main stage, perhaps with the rest of the "human music" stuff from last year?:

My camera was a bit dark and shaky, but this starts from just after the Neutronyx stage so you can still hear the music from that, on into the Liquid Tent that you can hardly make out although the music gives it away and then finally at the main stage.

Had to sell my ticket to this as I am doing an exam on the Saturday. Godammit
