What are Daft as Punk exactly? Just a straight up DP tribute act?

I wonder what the chances of this downpour on Sat being delayed until Sunday are. Everything I wanna see on Sat is mostly outside and everything I wanna see on Sunday is indoors. Plus im leaving Sunday night so if I got soaked I wouldnt care!

has anyone in the Eco campsite had any emails with info from them yet?

You don't get emails from eco campsite to confirm booking. Only the confirmed thing at the time of booking.

maybe they should, considering what a cluster**** the whole booking thing was.
our group have several bookings and bar an initial 404 page and "you are already registered" message on the EP site, have no clue what's happening or any info.

looking through the 2015 thread, someone said that BYeco appear to be run by a child, which seems correct given how badly written their facebook posts are.

If you bring speakers into the campsite I'll personally shove them up your arse

Think the back of the shirt would then need to read
"if found, please return me to camping site x/camper van reg #696969"

I've being trying to find this out too but haven't found any info saying yes yet so I've stocked up on small cans of craft beers, O'Brien's in Naas have a large selection.

Has anyone ever bothered cycling down from Dublin? Not as part of the charity cycle, but instead of getting a bus.

I know there are supposedly bike racks, but any other facilities once there. Don't suppose the Tour folk would bring a bike back either.

Cycling down is not an issue (and may be quicker), its the cycle back that I'd be worried about

There's normally a small craft beer tent/hut in one of the main food areas

There's a few Heineken group umbrella craft beers available at the craft beer stand. About six options including a wheat beer iirc. They might have had Caledonian 80 Schilling, which is nice, if you're not into hoppy stuff.

I've seen them before and they're not that great tbh. It's just 2 lads in leather jackets and fancy helmets playing Daft Punk CDs. They don't use Ableton like Daft Punk do live, they don't anything different with the songs, they just hit play and dance about a bit. Having said that, with the festival atmosphere I'm sure it'll be a bit of craic anyway!

The Viper had them at his 'Oxogen' Festival back in 2015
Good craic!

Excellent app. The official one is decent this year but Pablo has the nice touch of highlighting your clashes which makes it much easier to follow.
