They could yeah, I'd say it is between them or Phoenix to headline the EA on Saturday night and I am going to go with Interpol. Was just thinking about it today, I can really see A Tribe Called Quest being a flop of a headliner for some reason, not that they are bad but I don't think they will capture the casual persons interest enough and I would question how big of a proper fan base they have in Ireland.

Nice to see the stage times for Casa Bacardi, can definitely see my weekend starting there with Mix & Fairbanks followed by Get Down Edits!

Yeah, i am hoping that Interpol and Pete Thong don't clash, quite different i know but i'd like to catch both

Do people think that the Lidl 4 man dome tent is worth the set up for the extra space over the 2 man inflatable tent? It's just for me and my friend

Definitely, you'll be glad of the space. Especially if it rains.

Is that a tongue-in-cheek reference (or even, tongue in thong!) to Mr. Tong, or a genuine, wonderful typo?! :D

Picked up plain wellies in Great Outdoors for €20 in Dublin if anyone looking. They had men and womens there yesterday.

I got 5 years out of the last pair of hi-tecs i had, reasonable for the money, have replaced them this year with a pair of the same in case the nasty happens.

Question for folks who have attended in a campervan before. My campervan has an 11kg gas tank, but the T&Cs say the tank can't be more than 7kg, do they check the gas lockers to see what size the gas is or will I be safe enough? Just want to save myself the hassle of buying a 7kg tank that I'll never use!

They opened my locker for a search but didn't seem to check the gas bottle for size.

Could you do without the gas at all if they do check though?

Going to be spending the next week or so listening to a lot of the acts I wouldn't be as familiar with. Listened to a good few tonight, Father John Misty doesn't do it for me at all. Can't decide about Interpol or Elbow yet. Liking Real Estate and All Tvvins more than I thought I would. Anyone able to recommend anything by Car Seat Headrest, Young Fathers or Everything Everything?

They never checked us, for years running. Is a nonsense condition not enforced.

Seriously dont worry yourself about it.

Ah I know about 5 of the acts really and I know I should be doing my homework, but the reality is that I'm not going to like most of them before I hear them live and once I do I'll really like them. I'me very set in my ways with my music. Almost everything in my spotify playlists is more than 20 years old. Love live music done well though so really looking forward to it.

Like I just looked at the poster and had to google were Lake Swimming a new indie band, but no, it's just saying people are allowed to swim in the lake.


What's all your top 3 must see acts then for this one? Mine are Pete Tong, The Pretenders and Madness.

Not really, it would take the good out of it. Fridge and heating runs off the gas!

Ha Ha - Man I think you need to add Fontaines to your list given your posts. I just listened to a couple of tracks.
