Lads i am looking at the manics setlist recently , 20 years since holy bible. Their own shows, Holy Bible start to finish. Their festivals set, absolutely nothing off it, feckin wusses

If you wanted the Holy Bible set, then you should have been in the Olympia in December.

It was great btw.

Festival sub headliners set, they've gotta appeal to the masses.

Hi there was hoping someone can help, usually park in the red car park but podpads say to use the green one. Can you drive onto the green from the red direction or do I have to come in another way, thanks!

Wondering the same as I'm travelling down m7!

Fickle Friends, Alvvays and Here we go magic are all well worth a listen IMO!

From scanning through the last few days posts & general info requests I have deduced that we can expect loads of first timers going this year.
Good to see- safe trip from wherever you are traveling from.

Just after speaking with a cohort who is putting the finishing touches to an art installation (or some such yoke-he made the Wooden 'Atom' sculpture above the entrance nearest the main stage in 2014) in the Body & Soul area.
He's advised me to bring loads of Wasp repellent down as there are swarms of the hoors all over the fields of Stradbally Hall!!

I wanted to go see that hip-hop cover band but unfortunately they have put themselves up against Blur! which looking at people's list the whole capacity of EP will be at

fits

The wasps have been really bad in my garden in Carlow but very quiet today. I reckon they are dying off quickly enough.

Anybody know where to get cheap ear plugs in Dublin city?

There doesnt seem to be any info on the Oxjam stage in Pablo's app.
Is there something up with that stage in general?
Trying to set a reminder for Bukspan, Tierney and Boyle (with Mick Pyro!).

You probably need to reload clashfinder. Oxjam is showing up on mine

47,000 people, up from 22,000 only three years ago - loads of first-timers are inevitable, but f**k it, the more the merrier, especially since there was real doubt as to whether EP could continue as a going concern.

What type are you after? Sleepy sleepy night time plugs (in which case Boots have loads of types) or the 'save me from tinnitus oh lord' type (got mine from amazon a few years ago, bit late there really now for amazon), Boots did have a few of that type too!

Nice list, like to see Jon Hopkins & Paul K but the clashes are brutal. You'll be doing well to see all of those :-)

Currently, the main Highlight counts on Clashfinder are:

Blur - 55.2%
Hot Chip - 45.5%
Underworld - 41.0%
Future Islands - 40.0%
Florence - 32.0%

So it looks like the organisers have it right by having all of them on the main stage.

You'll regret saying that when you are queing for something on sunday.

They have more than paid back their loses at this stage , definitly.

I don't queue for things, I just swagger to the top of the line and if anyone challenges me, I just shout "I've been coming here since 2003!" at them and go about my business.

oxygen

Has anyone sourced those collapsible hydration bottles I used last year to carry liquids on my person in discrete places? They are allot more reliable than zip lock bags

If travelling from the north take the M9 and get off at junction 3, head for Athy and then Stradbally.

So locals get day tickets for any day? Are they actual tickets or just passes?

From memory the 2003 Picnic was a bit TOO quiet.:)

Trailer Park stage times? Anyone seen them?

Thundercats Ho

Do any of the smaller tents (like in B&S) do an indie disco?
It'd be pretty sweet. A lot of the RBMA / CB stuff doesn't appeal to me anymore and the cheesy silent disco isn't my thing either.

It's on clashfinder too.
