I've heard that the Coronas are the surprise act... I'd love if it was someone like the 1975 though!

Ya i think one of the organisers is a manager of coronas or something. Prob don't want it announced as it would affect their ticket sales elsewhere

Guys you should be able to camp in the same area where the camervans are.

No security pass required here as it's a small field on the left before ticket pass. Fair enough you dont have the shower facilities but there is jacks but they were mank enough.

A few bands did last year and I ended up there on the last night. Good nights sleep though mind!

New site layout this year I'm afraid.

Is it going back to how it was a few years ago? It was a better layout then.

They've rented adjoining fields for parking/camping etc.

Yeah I think I had to park in the gaa pitch car park last year, which was a treck. The year before that everyone just parked along the road which was grand. That'll be a good improvement if parking is closer.

Hi, a friend of mine is on the guest list but can't go anymore. She's emailed them but don't think she's heard back yet. Anyone know if she'll be able to change the name on the guest list?

Thanks

I know the day breakdown has been released but have the stage times been announced yet?

Casshern88

Any one recommend any of the smaller acts to check out ?

Just found out I was getting tickets to this yesterday, so I'm extremely behind on looking into new artists to get into...! Any suggestions of some atypical genres? Some trip-hop acts? Post/math rock?

Jackobyte

Anyone know of buses running to this from Limerick? Just found out that I won't be able to drive to it.

It says on Tickets.ie that day tickets for Sunday are not available, were they ever available?

What type of set up is it? I've heard that it's two stages and a dance tent, is that true?

Sunday day tickets are sold out.

The year I was there it was 2 main stages (and other small ones dotted around) and a dance tent.

MattD

I'd say it's something like Silent Disco, Comedy tent, DJ tent, Irish tent, sub main/electronic tent and main stage.

Stage times are this evening supposedly so it should all become clear.

Griffilla

Anyone know if you can bring disposable BBQs into the campsite? Prob a bit optimistic both on being allowed and the weather !

Casshern88

Im pretty sure every festival ive been to have had a no BBQ rule, too easy for some ejit to set his tent on fire!

Griffilla

Yep i guess if it's a runner there's a SuperValu nearby anyway!

Got one in last year but just as my burgers were ready a security guard sprayed them with a fire extinguisher

Does anyone know where the security for this come from? They're never Irish afaik and they have this air about them that they've the power of the special service or something

MattD

Specialized Security have been used for most festivals and outdoor gigs that I've seen run by MCD and FR over the past couple of years, so if I'm not mistaken, it's probably them. Scottish company I think.

I find that they do really take their job seriously, and I definitely feel safer with them around then I did at previous festivals. They're a bit of craic if you're not out of your mind/acting the prick.

Ah no granted they do their job well but I have to laugh at them, seen them running their hands through peoples hair looking for 'contraband' before..
the f*ck lads, ye think this is a prison or something?
