Not really based on the hassle, more so I heard there's a good vibe in PM, private bar and we have a good crew there who had their tickets already. Sure even if it's not great it's only an extra 100 quid. Not the worst.

So this is my first year going. Not sure if I have a lift or not yet so I might be getting there by bus. What's the nearest shop to the area as I imagine I'll be fairly overloaded with my camping apparatus and clothes not to mind a crate of cans as well. :P

The onsite off-licence is ideal for people like you.

It's expensive (€55 per slab) but you don't have to carry it, it will be cold, and you can collect it six at a time so no need for a cooler box.

The last thing you want to do is to get into EP, pitch your tent, and then waste an hour and a half schlepping down to Stradbally to buy beer.

Just discovering some of A Tribe Called Quest's discography and loving it, real old school rap.

All good man - Tribe will need all the fans they can get on their side, I think!!!

They seem to be playing the same setlist every gig and I'm afraid Motivators doesn't make the cut...

Check this: Setlist

Excursions, Buggin' Out and Electric Relaxation are all unbelievable tunes imo

Just got a spot on the waiting list for Pink Moon. Going to be my first year doing it fancy. Folks here think it's worth it?

I def do. I have stayed there 2 years in a row and i thought it's well worth it. Not crowded, great showers and toilets, more secure, nice bar/restaurant in it too to chill out if you want.

I wouldn't stay anywhere else now to be honest if i was going.

Is there a stage time list out yet (did i miss it) or will that be next week ???

Absolutely!! stayed there last year, the ground was firm all weekend, no queue's for toilets etc, i couldn't believe how bad the ground in the JH campsite was when i walked through it to meet a friend

Just got a spot in pink moon myself.....5 mins after spending 35 yo yos on my lidl tent!
It's def worth it.... hot showers, few steps away from main arena, the reassurance of knowing your tent will still be standing when you return to it...worth it

Individual stages are releasing their own stage times randomly but main one won't be till next week.

Ah if there's a gang of you and it's only costing you 100 quid then it's not too bad. Some people I know are paying 400 quid to camp there which I think is madness. Although I've the benefit of camping in the main arena so I've never had the misfortune of being in one of the main campsites. Might be the best 400 quid they've ever spent.

Was gonna avoid that area but would love to see Utah Saints. Do you reckon they'll play their own tunes or others?

Utah Saints were superb in the day. Must have their stuff somewhere - probably on cassette! :O
They've been touring again, & stuff, I think. Saw their name come up in places.
Would be up for seeing them, for sure.
