Just got notification earlier from some of our on site crew that security is being ramped up and to expect crew searches of vehicles bags etc.

And for anyone wondering about the bag sizes even at galway races this yr it was enforced! Bag searches every day! So just be prepared! Unprecedented times!!

One of the lads won two Sat Day tickets in a comp. I didn't even know Sat Day tickets was a thing. He'd hardly be allowed enter after the stroke of midnight? What is the general rule for people entering with Sunday tickets?

There are a limited number of Saturday day passes usually for sponsors media and competitions etc.

Did anyone go to the Groove Festival in Bray last weekend, I notice there was also a Groove festival in Scotland the same weekend although the Scottish event was a one dayer in the former RockNess festival site. I wonder if they were connected, the Irish one was 19th and 20th August and the Scottish one 19th. Primal Scream and UB40 headlined the Irish one whilst Faithless (DJ set), Skream, Patrick Topping and Theo Kottis headlined the Scots one among others. I could have started a new thread but seeing as everyone here is festival nuts I'd though I'd just mention it anyway.

Went along on the Saturday! Jerry fish and primal scream. Lovely grounds and very family orientated. Great day out though!

Pretty much the exact same as last year. Red bull soundome is in the woods near trenchtown. Is the red bull tropical bar the same thing red bull had last year? There weren't any djs announced for it this year.

FURTHER OUTLOOK ... Mostly cloudy, breezy to windy at times, and unsettled for several days at end of the month but an improving trend by Thursday 31st, leading to the perhaps inevitable early September warm spell with southeast breezes and highs briefly reaching 25 C. More unsettled with heavy rainfalls by about the fifth of September.

Please please please stay like this!

Inflatable church is back!
Anyone know what the large pink shaded area is from boutique camping up towards soul kids?

The pink area is Stradbally Hall, & farm buildings. I suppose a lot of the performer services are in there too.

I have a recurring dream/nightmare that I'm down at ep and I don't have a timetable and I keep missing gigs I want to see.

yeah it's the same. I know someone who was asked to play but couldn't. don't know any of the other names that are booked though, probably just local acts the same as last year. I presume they'll announce who's playing it before EP, although the odd year we've got to the Friday with no times released for a few of the smaller stages....

There are now 8 areas outside of the main arena.
Trenchtown
Salty Dog
Other Voices
Anachronica
Hazel Wood
Transmission
Red Bull Sound Dome
Art Lot

This is great as it'll help spread the crowd.

Best of all is i can't see Elites on the map or the legend!

Limerick91

Need some help re getting to yellow car park as it seems to be the best for Boutique Camping.
What is the best way to access this car park coming from Limerick direction
Cheers

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

It's a dj set by the looks of it, probably just Tim (Garbutt) but I think Jezz is back in the fold. I reckon they'll play some of their old stuff as it's a festival- or remixed versions at lest.
The two of them have been quite active in various scenes since the initial commercial success of the early 90s- Tim especially

It was called Logic last year, looks like there's a cocktail bar in that spot this year.

Thundercats Ho

No that cocktail bar is just inside B&S.
The noise bleed at Jerry Fish last year was from the heineken thing (which is still there, but also the Elites / logic thing beside JF, which isn't listed this year.

ghostdancer

was it the e-lites/logic thing that was showing the hurling last year?

Some more Irish talent for that list -
Cailín, Sunil Sharpe, Lumigraph, Mode1, TEKNONOTICE for straight up house/ techno & maybe a bit of ELLLL for some fked up drone
Executive Steve & the Ragga Twins (irish grandparents...cough) out in Trenchtown for some Jungle & hardcore continuum (it's not a festival for me until I get a fix of sub-bass, spacey synths and time stretched breakbeats!!)

damn, was hoping to catch it there this year. will head down to Mindfield although the tents showing it there are usually rammed from what I've heard. saw the football in the Gaeilge tent a few years ago and could barely see the screen.

A Ket set?!!

(drugs are bad kids. Don't lose drugs. Don't give them to those Scottish lads on the gates either. Those boys have had their fill)
