    Depends what time you go for it...at the risk of sounding sexist if you're a girl you can just push your way to the front and you'll be grand.

    No idea. Anyway there'll be a good few buses so you should be alright. Maybe show up for the bus at 1 or 2?

    I'd be shocked. 3 concerts in 3 days for them, I'd say they just want to get it out of the way.

    A real shame, I'd say our best chance of them "changing it up" would be the inclusion of Cornerstone.

    I'd gladly take that! :P gladly!

    Wonder what the weather will be like? I'm no weather forecaster but looks like between 2-4pm have the most chance of rain.

    Actually, any idea if therewill be poncho's on sale/freebies around, ya know just in case like.

    I was at Macklemore and it lashed, they were selling clear plastic ponchos for a fiver. You'd be better off just bringing some sort of rainjacket really. The ground near the barrier got really mucky too so wear shoes you don't care much about.

    The forecast said scattered showers and 20 degrees for yesterday and it rained from about 4-7:30 so I wouldn't put much faith in any forecast you read

    According to AccuWeather there'll be showers in the afternoon but by 5 or 6 there's only a 25% chance and then from 8 onwards there's a fantastic 6% chance of rain :D

    weather.com on the other hand still gives showers all day, chance of rain 50-60%.
    Go figure. . .
    I think I will play it safe. . .

    Is the Eden pub fairly ok for drinking in beforehand? Or are they bit stricter when gigs are on? Someone said last week they stopped letting people in around 4/5 the day of Kings of Leon. Staying in Bewleys so thinking of heading over to the Eden around 3 so hoping we will get in ok.

    No. You must carry it with you at all times. I brought one to Macklemore and it was a terrible idea so for AM I am just going to leave it. Do you really need a bag? Everyone will be pushing an shoving and your bag will get caught in between them.

    Are they strict on no outside.food being brought in? My coeliac friend is worried they'll take her food and she won't be able to eat til she gets back home as I imagine the food places won't be doing coeliac friendly stuff. Anyone know for sure?
    At macklemore last night I'm 99% sure there was a coeliac friendly hot food stand.
    I really don't know if you are allowed to bring food in, bloody silly rule based on extracting profit if so. I was helping at the bar so I didn't get searched so don't know what they are like on that score ... its a Heineken bar BTW,

    Yesterday at Lisbon's Nos Alive festival, they changed it up slightly. My Propeller and Black Sabath's War Pigs were both played. No sign of A Certain Romance, sadly.

    They've been playing them the whole time, as far as I know, I could be wrong.

    €6 for a prepoured pint of Heinekin (apparently), no idea on the wine prices.

    Would arriving at like 3/3.30 be time enough to get close to the barrier?

    I plan on getting up at 3.30 and I'd like to have a few drinks before. But obviously by the time Alex and Co come on I'll be quite sober unless I plan on going all out on 6 quid pints (not ideal). So would anyone who's been up there before have any idea about a good way to sneak a bit of drink in?

    I was at Arcade Fire and security was very strict. Bags searched and pat downs.

    Also, pints are indeed €6. Only Heineken.

    how bad are the pat downs? I presume they don't go right up your leg that'd be a bit creepy?
