    soon i hope. a few irish acts/DJs have said their times on twitter/fb, but none of the big acts that i've seen...

    even day splits would be good, consdering people will prob hold off buying day tickets until they know who's playing what day...

    Looks like Ben Klock and Four Tet could be clashing, really hope that doesn't end up being the case though!

    Yeah saw Klock once before, have listened to plenty of his mixes though and love them all, though I'd probably rather if he was playing in one of the tents rather than the main stage. Saw Four Tet DJ before with Caribou but never a live set. Will be a tough choice but will probably end up going to Four Tet as well!

    Quite surprised Four Tet isn't on the main stage...depends what kinda set he's doing I guess.

    Seen both Ben Klock and Four Tet before anyway....will most likely go to Four Tet!

    The big problem here is dj koze and Lfo clashing. Hoping the tent goes on longer than the main stage and that Lfo will be on later

    Cool thanks for offering, I'm still waiting for confirmation from another volunteer for a lift on Monday, If I have not heard anything by Saturday night will definitely take that lift.

    Its funny that maybe 2ManyDJs will headline Life next year, the reason I say this, Modeselektor headlined one of the tents at Forbidden Fruit in 2012 then they headlined Life the following year. Four Tet headlined last year at Forbidden Fruit and now headlining Life this year so maybe 2ManyDJs headlining Forbidden Fruit this year is bound for Life 2015.

    co-incidence i'd say. Four Tet was 3rd last on the 2nd stage anyway.

    Seriously why does this happen every Saturday here, a serious lull in festival talking, Life is next weekend FFS. Who I want to see anyway.

    Four Tet
    LFO (will probably check out)
    Joy Orbison
    Groove Armada
    Hot Since 82
    Ben Pearce
    Mr Devitt
    Lasertom
    Aaron Nolan
    Kormacs Big Band
    Sunhil Sharpe

    If theres clashes will catch a bit of each, will make some new discoveries I suppose as well over the weekend.

    Updating my ipod with some nice sets for the Life campsite, a few Boiler Room sets from Four Tet, some Apparat albums, Jon Hopkins BBC6 session, some Mr Scruff, some Portishead and Beck albums, should help get some vibes started before the sound systems kick off.

    Weather forecast not looking great which is a shame. I know it's a bit early yet for an accurate prediction but fingers crossed anyway for some sunshine!

    Currently lashing rain in dublin, lets hope this isnt the case forthe weekend .

    Tip for any one who gets killer hangovers, get some charcoal tablets (any health food store) and some deloralite (over counter any pharmacy) , take 2 charcole before drinking , it helps your liver get rid of the toxins in booze, and the deloralite will re hydrate you next morning ( they give it to people who get sevear diarrhoea) . Makes the world of diffrence having those 2. Im able to function properly as opposed to being bed bound for day

    don't bring water. it's heavy, and there's free drinking taps in the campsites that you can fill up an empty bottle with.

    bring:
    camping chair
    air mattress/camping mat
    baby wipes
    ticket!

    Check your tent bag to make sure you have enough tent pegs and your tent poles are intact, nothing worse than getting there and realizing your tent is fecked.

    another vote for baby wipes here. deodorant. toothbrush, toothpaste and mouthwash of course. no greater feeling than washing out that festival mouth

    EDIT: actually just thinking now in terms of hygiene, what are the showers like at Life? I have never showered at a festival before as I'm used to the humongous queues at the likes of EP and Oxegen so they didn't seem worth it. are the queues more manageable here?

    I can thoroughly endorse the showers at Life - I think I've used them every year and they are usually really good, so assuming it's the same set-up this year - recommend it. There is never any major issue with queues either.
