What's the craic with rocking up on Thursday night ?

Is it just the campsite that is open ?

Anybody done it?

Worth it?

Last minute purchase of a ticket. Decided i wouldn't go because of work picking up. I'm blaming this thread and each of you! Friday and Monday booked off. Hunt for beer offers starts today!

Making up the list of acts I want to see.

I think the only people who are allowed to go on the Thursday night are volunteers and those with campervan tickets.

The campervan site I assume your talking about?
Have done it the last few years and glad not to be doing it this year. Purely because I end up getting too excited and getting **** faced in the campervan in anticipation of the next few days haha.

Camping again this year for first time since 2010 so heading down for around 11pm on friday. Hope there are still some good camping spots still left.

Sorry I meant 1pm on the Friday

Even the campsite isn't open. Just campervans. Wouldn't waste my time tbh.

Cheers lads got the camping chair sorted in eurogiant.

For anyone who didn't manage to get the power bank in aldi, eurogiant have a few different sized ones I picked up a 7800 mAh for €15 and they have a 10000 mAh one for €20. Few smaller ones available too!

Which euro giant was that? James St is closest to me so gonna try there

Campsite opens at 9 am.

If you go in a 9 make sure you bring breakfast a lot of the stands aren't ready at all yet, almost ended up pretty hungry last year until the afternoon when they were all going full swing!

There's also really no benefit to going there at 9 am, there are TONNES of spaces until the late afternoon / early evening.


...and on that note I am going to be there at 9am just because it makes no difference what time I leave limerick at and I might as well have the tent and everything set up to be drinking a can before lunch :cool:

i don't think i've ever been there before midday, usually more like 2pm in the last couple of years. prefer having a lie-in and a late breakfast on Friday morning rather than rushing down!

Get a job, moochers.

Fantomas9mm

Great, thanks for the info Frozen.



I need to leave on sunday arvo, will there be shuttle buses to portaloise station at that time?

we will be driving down from dublin and are camping in the boutique camping, we were told to park in carpark z, were thinking of leaving the M1 going onto the R445, going through portlaois on the N80 and going south down the Abbeyleix road. Can anyone tell me will this work?

That's the long way around. I used to do that when the m7 was backed up and we entered the car park from a different side. If you take the portlaoise slip road and drive straight through the roundabout, narrow road but brings you out above the car park entrance

Any one know when Jon Hopkins is on? What day even? Is it the electric arena he'll be playing? If he's headlining Sat night it looks like it'll be sprint to the campsite after his set, grab the few beers then off to New Jackson in the woods.. I'll be a very happy bunny indeed...!ðŸ˜

son lux is very good, not heard of him before has anybody seen him live

Hopkins playing the Saturday, just replied to me on twitter...

edit: Also said 11pm but didn't know what stage..

Curtis Harding pulled out of EOTR. He'll probably cancel EP too.
Shame, he was on my "wouldn't mind seeing, if he's on at a reasonable time & doesn't clash with anyone else" list.

I'm in the same boat!! don't know how I could miss Blur!! it's going to be a 'once in a life time' gig, but Hopkins I really really wanna see!!! Could be the ultimate clash!!

Anyone see the Hopkins gig live at Glasto, did he play the other stage?

In saying this it's looking like Underworld are 100% on Friday night, so who else is there to do the Saturday night late slot!! Blur followed by Hopkins would be an absolute treat!!
