well they can just open the Cosby Tent for them if they need to. the only reason it's closed is to save money on lighting/sound/security people.

It's to save money on acts really. The lighting and sound will be there all week and they will have a certain level of security on an unused marquee. Makes total sense to put Ride into this rather than re-jig other bands schedules.

Pablo - thank you millions. That app is brilliant - I now have reminders set for everything I intend to see/ do and I strongly suspect the map is going to save me at some point. Have left 5 stars and a review. Really appreciate it.

you are most welcome .. btw, there is an update on the Android app which gives you info for some of the acts...

Folks - know this has been done to death but have yet to decide between Wilde and Joplin. Could anyone advise the best car park for each please? I was a bit spoiled last year on a whole..

Cant really help you there, but I would go for red for both of those

Alkers

Does anyone know what time the arena opens tomorrow? I know campsite is 9am.

So few questions (1st time camper :-) ) so is there different directions when driving to red car park? Don't want to end up in green as I heard they just direct you were ever ?

Is it ok to walk back to your car each day ?? Get more drink etc :-) and lastly which campsite looks the better oscar or Joplin ? Distance to carpark/toilets/hopefully not get robbed :-)

Ok - Salty Dog bar at 4.30? genuinely dont remember a bar there but I'm the dozy kind who follows the crowd and doesn't know where she is 90% of the time anyway. I did go to an after party thing one of the nights and it was like a little hut/ cool shed type of thing? is that it?

You'll be wearing that black and green t-shirt from way back?

Ok - lovely! have yet to pack or sort out clothes but Im 99.9% sure I'll be wearing a (shortish) white dress and wellies, probably a hat.
I have very long black hair.
Got that? look for long black hair and a rabbit caught in the headlights expression, despite being old now.


Ooh so excited now!! Think I've pretty much everything got. Now - to actually do some work and pack it all once I land home!!
Happy Picnic Eve All!

Orion

Sounds like a plan so. I'll wear a boards cycling buff so I can be picked out

Very Cold in Stradbally at 9am this morning as low as 10/11 deg ...Same yesterday evening at about 8pm so bring plenty of warm wear for the night time and the morning from 12-6pm it will be pleasant enough by the looks of things..was a small drizzly shower yesterday evening but the workers out there were loving it because dust was becoming a real problem all the securlity men were in dust masks for the last 2 days!

I'm planning on arriving around 10.30 tomorrow. Is that a peak time? Was hoping to try and get in before the frenzy.

The civil unrest here in Budapest this week has been a great preparation for Picnic. I am now in "survival" mode. Getting out of here at 4pm , straight to airport, quick beer, fly to Frankfurt. Then haul ass to switch terminals in 60 minutes to catch the last flight to Dublin.

If I miss that, there will be some savage civil unrest in Frankfurt tonight. The home at around 1130pm, get packing and on the road to picnic by 10am tomorrow.

cannot wait to get down there!!

Decided against wellies. Just gonna go with an old pair of runners. Be grand. And if it's not, I'll drink more until it is.
