    I'm having 2nd thoughts about going for the Sunday now, there is only three acts I want to see in the Sunday list, so will probably just buy some cheese weed instead. :D I'm seeing reports on my Facebook wall that the weather is glorious for Latitude festival so I hope you all get the same for Longitude.

    Well its Dublin innit! I can imagine there will be a good buzz around, as for campsite frolics this would be non-existent as its non-camping.

    Try identify the tabloid reporters and follow them as they'll always find the people who are so out of it that they've no pants on or are getting sick on a cat or something.. That'll probably be where the party is.

    I doubt the Gardai will allow anyone drink on the street after all the problems the last few years. The Eden pub is across the road and will be buzzing.

    The year of the stabbings in the Phoenix Park was the last time I was at a gig in Marley Park (which was a few weeks after). And they were stopping everyone from drinking on the street. The local residents up there have been making a lot of noise about all these gigs so be prepared for a big Garda presence

    I was at the Stone Roses a few days before and they started off confiscating drink, but couldnt manage the crowd so left us off.
    But in fairness that was a few days before the Swedish house stabbings

    There's a holding area before you actually enter the arena and get searched, beyond the gates and off the road. That's where they leave you alone to drink so you're not on the grange road basically. All the guards and anyone else want are for people to have a bit of cop on and avoid drinking in estates and greens, giving complainers fuel to try and get Marley gigs stopped...

    passed by about 3pm there was a serious amount of kids going but i suppose thats the way it is with most festivals, nearly all teenagers around the place, i suppose with school / college being over and everyone else in work etc it was always going to be a young crowd at that time.

    What was the story with the festival basically half closing down at 10pm? No bars and no Red Bull Stage despite it being advertised. If you didn't like Hozier or SBTRKT you were basically left wandering around an empty site.

    Also, seemed like there were **** all people there today.

    It was pretty weak as far as festivals go. Makes you appreciate electric picnic so much more. Even a crappy oxegen year would have put it to shame, fingers crossed it picks up for the remainder of the weekend. 10 pm is a ridiculous bar closing time
