cheers and i agree best app for it..well done pablo..!!

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.

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!

I'm pretty sure they were playing with a few loops and effects last year. Certainly more than just hitting play. I wouldn't be going to them for outright musicianship or technical skills all the same. It's just a bit of a laugh.

This settles it for me .. Whilk & Misky on Friday it is and if I still have a bit of energy over to Oxjam for the end of this, which is on the way home anyway i guess.

Accuweather now saying:

Friday: Cloudly with some showers :cool:
Saturday: Rain and then more rain :mad:
Sunday: Partly sunny

The ever changing forecasts are an emotional roller-coaster!

Think the friday rain is early morning so it's only the Sat rain we need to worry about. All in all, i'd take it.

Yeah the Met Eireann 5 day forcast is giving rain late Thursday/early hours of Friday, then nothing until heavy showers Saturday afternoon to early evening and clearing up later on.

Sunday looking decent.

I think the weather systems that are currently coming across the Atlantic are conditions the forecasters hate as they can be hard to predict in terms of when the rain "might" arrive and whether it will actually hit certain parts of the country or not. I wouldn't be surprised to see another 5 different Stradbally forecasts for this weekend between now and Friday morning!

Just took a look at them. They certainly don't have fancy helmets either!

wouldn't place any stock in Accuweather in fairness. Met seem to be differing from other forecasts too so I'd say we'll know a good bit more tomorrow. Will be waiting to see what Villain's (who's been posting the latest weather models on this thread) forecast will be tomorrow!

And lots of bin bags to keep all your clothes dry and to duct tape around your feet if it gets to that point.

Hi all, just been looking at the traffic management plan on the EP information site and it would appear that all traffic from North/Dublin/South & West will all merge together and will be directed towards the Red car park.
All the traffic coming from Carlow & south east will be directed to the Yellow car park.
How do I get to the Green car park?

Can we drive past the Red to get to Green or do we go through Stradbally from the Carlow side then take a left.

All help greatly appreciated, don't want to lug all my stuff to the Pink Moon.

Thanks, B

There's was quite a tail back last year, they merged two roads into one, differently to previous years.
I'm in Car park Z but haven't look at directions to get there yet.

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.

Yeah there won't be a sniff of any proper craft stuff when Heineken is sponsoring. It'll be the usual Heineken shít, Orchard Thieves, Caledonian, Cute Hoor
You wont' find anyhting that's not on here:

There seems to be more confusion than usual about how to reach the green car park.
I'm hoping the route via Vicarstown works

Yellow is to the south of the site and looks pretty small, as far as I'm aware was used by local artists/Boutique camping in previous years.
Unless something has changed for this year, the vast majority of ppl will be funnelled to red & Green
