Very very similar to mine. But you're skipping ABC? They've been doing The Lexicon of Love on their tour, not one to miss. Have a great weekend, have enjoyed your posts.

Yeah i've got mates arriving at around that time and the plan is to meet at the Salty Dog. So i'm gonna bring the camping chair and a few cans down and a have a bit of a sit before the madness begins!

Enjoy your weekend man, i'll probably bump into you unwittingly at some point :P

Yeah if their thing is your type of thing then definitely.

Check out their setlists to see if you'd be into them i guess.

Go and see them, well worth it.
I've caught them live a few times over the years- the first being at Reading in 1997 (I think) Was mad out of it on micro-dots and recall thinking that Gruff Rhys and the lads were singing in Chinese!!! (That was some drive home after that weekend- the fkn horrors!!!)

Reliably great. Finale with them in animal costumes doing The Man Don't Give a Fu*k is always a highlight.

Can't recommend enough, going to be one of the best of the weekend, such an under rated band. And they are fantastic live, give it socks. Can't wait to see them, going to there Olympia gig in November too

Those photos have made me very excited. Still have so much work to do and get to Dundrum later for last bits of gear.

Latest from accuweather is great!

Friday: Clouds and sun!

Saturday: rain is going to taper off from around lunchtime on Saturday.

Sunday: Sun with a slight chance of a small shower.

Let that forecast stick please!!!!

Arne_Saknussem

The weather forecast has been real 'edge of your seat' stuff this year.

I'm still predicting no rain for the weekend

DeclanRe

Anyone know where to pick up some ponchos?

srm23

do the pink moon showers be open during afternoon/evening on the friday too?

Villain

Latest GFS chart is nice downgrade of rain for Saturday with anything heavy clearing by 2pm or 3pm. We'll get high resolution charts in a while but if this GFS run is accurate it is a move in the right direction!!

Was just about to say the same - got these yesterday.

Some of the questions now are starting to veer in this direction ..

Arne_Saknussem

So i'm assuming Le Galaxie Soundsystem will be Le Galaxie with James Murphy & Co thrown into the mix?

Dealz was a treasure trove for stuff yesterday. Got a fisherman's hat for if it rains, 4 ponchos, 2 water pouches for drink and a light, foldable backpack for brining cans to the Salty Dog etc - all for €7.50.

any chance you can bring a board down and do an onsite forecast saturday around lunchtime?

I am reminded of B&S , maybe 4/5 years ago. There had been some rain-nothing significant, but some. Then on saturday afternoon, the blackness appeared on the horizon. We went back to our tent and wondered what to do. There was going to be a deluge. We sat there for about an hour and a half and watched the biggest blackest cloud you could image pass across the horizon and miss ballinlough by what can only have been a kilometre or three... the sun came back out and stayed for the rest of the weekend! #EP16

I had my four year old down at the rave in the woods last year. I let him ramble off for a couple of hours to do his own thing. He's very independent. But I always, ALWAYS, make sure his phone is fully charged.
