Hozier had been previously announced, the special guest is still there around half 6 on Saturday in the Big Top...?

What do people make of the Drink allowances, web site says your allowed only one bottle a spirits or a slab a cans, I can hardly imagine them enforcing this, what about people who dont like drinking cans? My gf doesnt drink cans or spirts only wine, so does that mean she can only enter with one bottle a wine for the weekend?? I know theres a supervalue nearby but if im in the middle of the festival experience i dont want to have to leave and go back to reality to get more drink! i recon ill risk it, have a bottle a spirits in with my tent or something!

I'd imagine like other festivals that have that disclaimer on their site, it won't be enforced. I heard that was the case with body and soul anyways.

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?

this happened at indiependence?

deisedude

Personally I think if someone can hide a naggin in their hair they should be allowed keep it!

If I were to order tickets now, do you think they'd get delivered before Friday? I'm in Dublin.

Ideally, a collection point would be easier but I can't find details of one.

If you order it now it will probably arrive in the post tomorrow. If it's not going to arrive on time they surely won't be selling it.

Mine arrived the next day, I'm sure.

Cool, thanks.
I emailed them and they got straight back saying that there a is a box office that will supply tickets if time is too short to post.

I created a free Android timetable app for this festival. You can use this to create an itinerary and set reminders etc ..

Thankfully someone created a clashfinder from the timetable released last night and I can use that data to make this app.

Theres no need for network connectivity on site once you have loaded the data before you go.

I can't post links but it here it is
playDOTgoogleDOTcom/store/search?q=indiependence%202014&c=apps
(change DOT for .)

If someone could post that as a usable link that would help somewhat

...or if you search the Android play store for "Indiependence 2014" it should be the top hit.

I don't do iPhone apps .. so please don't ask

will certainly do my best .. almost 1,000 people used my app at EP last year. I was shocked sitting outside on Sunday when I looked on the play store and saw the number of downloads. Shocked and proud… Its a fair bit better this year as I have been tweaking it a fair bit over the year.

MattD

This looks ideal anyway, cheers for the effort. No network needed is a big plus.

Think the only issue with drink on site is bringing it into where the music is on. Shouldn't be a problem lugging drink to the tent/campsite.

Is there an Indiependance 2014 playlist on spotify?

There are a number of bars with a huge product range on site but if you are bringing some alcohol with you, here’s what you need to know.

You cannot bring any alcohol into the main arena, it’s a licensed premises, you don’t bring a 6 pack to your local pub!
You may bring a sensible amount of alcohol into the campsite (NO GLASS), by sensible, we mean one slab of beer or cider (24 cans) and one litre of spirits. If security deem at search that you have too much, they will ask you to dump it or return it to your car. Trust us, you will enjoy the weekend more if you drink a little less!

it seems quite loose …. although I wouldn't compare a festival with a pub myself. Having said that..

festival website wrote:

Drinks – Molson Canadian, Bacardi, Kopparberg, Rebel Red, Shandon Stout, Blue Moon, Friar Weiss and Chieftan IPA. Please please please drink lots of water also!

nothing for us regular lager drinkers who don't think North American lager is a proper beer

I couldn't make it last year but if its anything like 2012 there should be no issue with going back and forth to the car for supplies (booze). Even the allowance of a slab per person is not exactly enforced. Very laid back and forgiving security firm as long as you're not an out of control tosser. Also, I highly reccomend the rebel red if you're buying drink on site

What are security like for people smoking around tents/campsite. Be it cigarettes, or weed, does anyone know?
