Surely if they are opening early pink moon will have to open also

I'm not saying they definitely won't, but it would be conceivable that general camping opens early, and those run by other companies stick to their usual routine.

Yeah, surely Pink Moon would like to charge extra money themselves for another night in their tents?

Do you reckon that early pass would work for the family campsite? Would save a lot of hassle by going over thurs night and setting up instead of taking kids out of school early on Friday. Living 20 mins away.

It's great isn't it? So chilled in there opposed to the craziness of everywhere else.

If they get those solar showers for next year it'll be the icing on the cake!

It was far from chilled on the Friday night with yer wan moaning like a porn star in the throes of passion for hours. If you were within 40feet of her tent you will know what I mean. People were shouting out words of encouragement, willing them to finish FFS!!

I had earplugs in and all btw!!

What's the point in sending them to school on Friday at all.

Could be wrong but i don't think there are any Early Bird Sunday tickets.

I imagine they'll go on sale when the Early Bird period expires and the full price tickets go on sale, they'll be gone in minutes too.

Sunday tickets are not released until the main tickets go back on sale, usually around the time of the main act announcement which is March time frame.

You could put in a second line on the poster "That guy from all the Peaky Blinders music"

Poor Nick. I'm glad he's back out there finding solace in his music.

School only starts that week so it looks bad on attendance.

Pink Moon booked. I'm honestly so excited!

Look at the weather (where I am anyway). We dodged a bullet!

First electronica request for next years edition or perhaps even Body & Soul festival. Max Cooper.

This guy is really good, was working with a sound electronica dude from Cork during the pre-festival volunteering and he always seems to be tuned into new and exciting electronica sounds, he was playing Max Cooper and I played him some Reid from his own patch. This Cooper track is a cracker, remove the bass intensity of Hopkin's Open Eye Signal and Holden's Lump and you have Cooper covering a variety of other sounds making it the dreamiest uplifting ambient techno I've heard in a long time.

Joplin??

Going to buy my tickets now regardless of who is playing, I've had FOMO allll day.

Tempting to get the tickets now but I should probably at least wait until I get paid at the end of the month. €25 extra for camping on the Thursday night is a bit steep if there is nothing extra going on but I like the idea I must admit,a good campsite session on the Thursday night without the fear of missing loads of acts might get it out of the system for the rest of the weekend and make me spend more time in the arena!

No idea who to expect or who I would even like to see announced for next year. Earlier in the year I had a sneaking feeling that we will see Gorillaz at EP if they get back together, Radiohead will definitely be talked about again in this thread, prob won't know who else is around until we hear of what acts are releasing albums or touring over the next few months. I've seen Caribou twice over the past few years and I think the live band would be so perfect for EP so would love to see him announced. Too early for a proper wish list!
