I was assuming that the irish speaking place would show Dublin vs Mayo was going to head there after some of Jurassic 5, but seems that plan is out the window! for anyone who has done it before how long is the walk to a pub that will show it in stradbally?

Downloaded the offical App, I assumed that when i pressed the heart/favourite button beside an act it would put them into some sort of list for me but doesn't appear to actually do anything, unless it just gives me a notification on the day when they are about to start?? in that case not great for planning

It does, click the person with the heart at the top right of the screen when you are in line up...

EP nube here. I bought tickets because the missus really wants to go but I'm nervous because i hate the idea of festivals.

I don't like crowds and loud noise for prolonged periods of time. I'm pretty anxious about the weekend so does anyone know where is likely to be quiet? I'm looking for somewhere to go so I'm not surrounded by people and noise. Any suggestions?

main tents and areas are decently spread out, so you'll usually find plenty of places with lots of space. there's always be noise given that there's stages everywhere, but nothing deafening or anything, just background noise.
there's usually lots of space and quiet enough down towards the Electric Arena/Comedy Stage/Mindfield areas. the Greencrafts area is usually pretty quiet too.
the busiest areas will be the Main Stage (although you can keep to the edges), and the RBMA stage in the woods at night, which will be wedged after midnight.
as mentioned, camping in the Joplin campsite will probably be the quietest. don't camp in the Jimi Hendrix or Oscar Wilde campsites as they'll be pretty busy.

What time do the car parks open at? I know gates are at 9 but I think we might be down there before 9

Camp in Joplin, bring earplugs, chill out areas in body and soul, mindfield, head to tents just after an event finishes.

Thanks for the suggestions. I need to be able to smile and pretend I'm having a good time if herself asks. Some time to myself might just save the day (3 days)

I would suggest camping in Charlie Chaplin

Does anyone know where abouts on site Kinara Kitchen is gonna be located?

TherapyBoy

If I remember correctly last year they were nearly directly opposite the entrance to Mindfields but they could be put anywhere. The food places are normally in a big 'strip' back-to-back in the middle of the site.

Irish_rat

Wow The Cosby Stage looks fooking unreal. Is there times on those yet?

wacotaco

Will the Gaa be shown?

Irish_rat

How many artists will folks be hoping to see? Suppose it depends on clashes Wish O Emperor were on earlier absolutely love them.

Think the hurling is being shown on An Pobail Gaeilge, not sure about the football!

At last the iPhone app is approved by Apple:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/electric-picnic-2015/id1033102236?ls=1&mt=8

You need to be online the first time you run the app and also to get timetable updates. Once you are on site you can switch into airplane mode and the app will work away

There is also an official app, which you may prefer. The official app has info on all the artists. My app has a way better map and does reminders which the official one does not seem to do.

Timetables:
It uses the clashfinder data, so as that fills up so will the app. The app will automatically download updates to the timetable so you should not have to do anything.

Maps:
The map is based on google maps. So you can find where you are on site using GPS. Never get lost again. Of course this will be unreliable in forests or under cover. If you get lost in the forest, I can't guarantee that this help

The map does work offline. Although if you want to have the satellite view available on site, then you need to use that a little bit while online. Just zoom in and out around the site and the tiles get cached.

Thanks to some of the boardies who helped out making the map on google maps. So thanks to El Director, Fatfrog, ghostdancer and srumball. I don' t know who did what, but it was a lot easier with more hands on deck. That map that was leaked last week was pretty handy too.

NOTE: I have seen one bug at least in this ... Sometimes when you add an act to your itinerary or reminders, it doesn't appear straight away. When you add another act, then the first one will appear It is in the data and you will still get the reminder. I don't know why it is happening and even if i did I won't get to fix it.

Also this app is not as robust or as well tested as the Android version ..

Just curious, if I placed an order for 3 x 8 Heineken cans in the off licence do we have to pick them up all in one go?

Just remembered I'm on the US app store :{

Don't think so!

P.S: Why did you go for 3x8 for €60 when a crate of 24 is only €50?

Hi Guys

Stupid question but when you park up in Red - do you have a choice on which campsite you can go to or is it done dependent on arrival time? We want to camp in Joplin and will be pitching a tent for mates who won't arrive until Friday about 7pm

Cheers

You can camp where you like. Doesn't matter. Your choice where you camp.

Class, just downloaded this and it is gonna make my life a LOT easier, especially trying to find my way back to the campervan! (My sense of direction often fails me in the early hours!)
Thanks a million for this Pablo.

Hi,
Have family camping, am planning on setting up the tent early Friday and then going back to collect the gang.

Am I allowed into family camping without a child to put up the tent.

Thanks,
