My favourites on the lineup are Tame Impala so that I suppose but I am open to anything

not really that "hidden", but My Morning Jacket would be similar, psychedelic-ish rock, a bit more blues-y than Tame Impala

We have measured the site and if you all work with us, by letting our helpful team members place you in your area of choice we maybe able to squeeze in the rest of the guys on the waiting list ?
A map is coming shortly of our campsite and the zones of camping we have created.
There are six Zzones altogether ranging from:
Yellow quieter camping.
Red family camping.
Blue family camping.
Green maybe not so quite camping.
Orange probably not quite at all camping.
Purple possibly slight disturbance camping.
These six Zzones will be marked on our map so please pick your spot carefully !!!!!
Remember folks you are coming to a festival !!
BYEco is not The family camping or The quite camping area of the festival we are ECo camping and we run on solar we have the power to run all night.
Our sounds come from 12v systems and we will have live music and drumming. All coming from our Main Tent your HQ.
Please do not camp near if you wish for sound sleep smile emoticon
Camp in Zzone yellow ok smile emoticon
To all the guys that have just made it into the campsite we shall be mailing you all soon.
Kind regards
BYEco

It looks like it was updated by a Chinese eBay seller! What the bejesus is going on with the BYEco camping this year? It seems absolutely terribly organised and I signed up to the "waiting list" via a Facebook message and got a confusing reply

Tourist (Similar to Jon Hopkins, sorta ice chill DnB)
Clu (Dublin DJs and band) Interesting electronica rock and pop with a visual art element too)
GIRO (If you like a bit of trad and a bit of wild gypsy folk check out these guys on the Body & Soul main stage at 4 pm on the Saturday)
Big Jelly (Galway 11 piece ska act that will have you stomping with Desmond Dekker classics)
Paul Kalkbrenner (Classic pumping techno fodder)
Django Django (A great Scottish and Irish rock group with the energy of the likes of XTC and The Cramps, lovely jangly guitar and pretty psychedelic sounding)
Apart from the known headliners there is a sh1tload to discover, fantastic line up.

Remember the rumour that one of them had died in a car crash ?

By the looks of it the Eco camping gonna be an absolute shambles.
Wouldn't be too confident of getting in , or getting a decent kip

I love that you know all the genres!
Any acid zumba acts over the weekend?

Are Cry Monster Cry worth a listen to?

Yep, I like their album. I do kinda know them from where they're from but it's still good stuff. Nice chilled early afternoon act.

They're your typical chillcore nu-folk duo.

Oh ok - I think I'd like this! will wander up that far for a peek. Thanks!

Heya guys,


I already know ill have no luck but you can't get if you don't ask.


I was seriously hoping to camp with my brother who lives in the uk. His mates ended up getting eco camping tickets and they only have one spare so I can't take it and bail on the boyf.


If anyone happened to overbook one place in the eco campsite could you give me a shout, I promise to pay in forward in a big way

Well as the saying goes "you get nothing for nothing"

It looks like it going to be a wet one leading up to the festival, but looks like its clearing up for the festival weekend. http://www.worldweatheronline.com/v2/weather.aspx?q=Stradbally,%20Ireland

Another newbie question: Whats the deal with lockers and storage boxes? Are they both secure or is it just the locker that's secure?

Been wondering loads about the weather. Cos I'm ****ting it for my hair. Presume you're obviously worrying about the same thing.
Thanks for that.

Guys,

Has anyone any experience regarding the Tour de Picnic? I've decided very late on to give it a bash, but the one issue being that I probably wouldn't get off work on the Monday morning (but would on the Friday). Can you get any bus back to Dublin after it's over or is there particular special buses that leave, and if so, do people know what time usually?

Thanks!

All secure by the sounds of it

Long range forecasts are very rarely correct

I bought locks for my bag/ case. thought I'd stick the key onto my wristband. Then I happened to be given a case with a combination lock on it which I thought was great. Am I being naive? dont intend to bring anything valuable but would obviously prefer not to be robbed..

Cheers, I read that alright but I was just confused. Sounds like they're both the same thing from that - except the storage boxes are bigger.

The folk that rob normally have knives and slash tents etc. You are just better off not bringing anything that you mind losing.
