Folks,
Whe you are get the wrist band on the friday do you have to go to the main entrance or can you go through the paintball entrance if you are pink moon?

you can go in/out either.
the paintball entrance has people giving out wristbands too, so no need to go to the main entrance really.

You can go through that entrance too and get your wristband. Im staying Pink Moon and will be parking in Car Park Z and walking in that entrance.

What's the story with charging phones at the festival? Is it much hassle? Am I better off sourcing a battery pack charger?

better off getting a batter pack and charge it up at home and use it when needed ove the weekend. The queues will be long at the charging stations.

you can go through any entrance you want. Obviously the paintball entrance is handier if you are heading to the Pink Moon site.

Is there some Heineken fridge thing where you can buy crates down there? I seem to remember that from a few years ago

here you go, pre order then pay on pick up but in fairness you can buy as you go

I'm seeing myself being very comfortable at the Main Stage on Saturday for Riptide Movement, Future Islands, George Ezra and Hot Chip with a side of Battles. Prime boogie soundtrack there.

Very worried about the other stage lineups that will inevitably ruin that with clashes!

Heineken will probably have their cooler tents around the place where you can drop your Heineken slab/cans in to be cooled. They don't actually sell beer there though (from memory).

The only place on site that sells is their online off license.

Newstalk will be in Mindfield and will apparently be showing the football, the hurling, and the Ireland match on Fri for those that are bothered

EP (and any music festival!) noob here, camping for the weekend - what's the craic with the different camp sites? From what I gather you get a different type of crowd in each, depending if you want to sleep or party. Where's where?

Not much in it, they all start of rowdy but happy on Friday afternoon and decay into anarchy by Saturday night,

Best approach is "if you cant beat them, join 'em". Be grand, says she......

My kids want to see all three of these artists so I'm happy with this run at the main stage. They especially love Hot Chip so I'm thrilled they are on the main stage where my kids can get a good view. The singer is somewhat vertically challenged!

Ya don't expect the rugby to be on. Unless they roll a cable from the mindfield to the sky box in the house of the estate.

Should be on the website in the news section! I've ordered mine and think €2 each is quite reasonable. Plus I don't want to lug everything on the bus down. Considering you'd spend that 50 on about 6 pints in Temple Bar on any night of the week I'm happy to pay it!

Do you remember the feeling you got as a kid when you were walking towards a holiday place like Butlins, or a Fun fair and you were giddy with excitement?

Yup.. that's what I'm like

don't remember that red and blue tent being slap bang in the middle of that waking area before, is it new?

the map has the Beer Frontier, "Dance Days", Sure Refresh Zone and a 3 Charging area around there according to the icons on the map....
the Electric Sideshow is on the map too, but i thought it was more towards the Trailer Park area?
