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!!)

saw ELLLL a few weeks ago and she played great EBM and techno. should be great in the forest.

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?!!

Which way do you have to approach to get into the GREEN car park? I'm in Pink Moon camping so want to be close. Cheers

Just wondering what to expect in the way of tracks from Young Fathers. This is the most recent setlist I could find, Dour, festival in Belgium about a month ago. I'd be delighted with this next weekend. Only John Doe missing from my wishlist.

I thought it was if you came from the other side to Dublin you got directed to Green?

This came to mind when I heard Jenny Green and the RTE concert orchestra was doing a history of hip Hop.

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!

They are there alright they will be called Logic, John Gibbons announced that he was doing 3 nights for them

Not worth going to the Newstalk tent in Mindfield unless you're there an hour before the game. Also if you go out to the toilet you won't get back in unless you sneak in under the tent covers as some youngsters were doing a couple of years ago. Better off walking the 20 mins to the Stradbally pubs I reckon.

I come from the Limerick side, usually get into red car park? Is the green car park not just up the abbeyliex road from the red car park? Id suggest coming from Portlaoise if that is he case... but as has been said, it's all timing. The early entry passes could throw a spanner to the testicles of the situation.

My sister is driving down ahead of me next Thursday I dont have room for her in my car/caravan, we are staying in the campervan site do you think she will be able to park in the Yellow carpark thats the closest so she can wait at the gate for me to jump on board then?

****e!
I haven't been in a couple of years, but I watched the game on a big outdoor screen when I was last there. I'm guessing this was the e-lites/logic area that's now gone?

Hi all, my sis is coming from the Carlow direction and is staying in the Pink Moon. Obviously the Green car park would be ideal for her but can you drive straight through the village to get to it from the Carlow side or will she be diverted down to the Yellow car park.

thanks in advance.

Drive through the town.
If they try sending you a different way, tell them you have to go to Portlaoise to get some stuff, and then just turn off into the carpark (off the main road) on the other side of stradbally.

Everybody is off having "I forgot to bring the tickets" anxiety dreams.

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.

Me and the misses live in Aberdeen at the moment so living with constant "forgot to bring the tickets on our flight over" fear!

I'm staying in the boutique area, trying t plot a course to the yellow car park, i think if i drive from Dublin to Timahoe and head to Stradbally from there, i'll get there, has anyone any tips on this?

Think it might be easier to go down the M9 and turn off for Athy. Athy to Stradbally brings you in the right side for the yellow car park me thinks.

Think I went from Vicarstown to Stradbally via the R428 last year.
That's my plan again next week.

EDIT: Actually, looking at my Timeline on Google maps, I went via Athy.

Can anyone mark roughly where the Red Car park is on google maps. I can't seem to figure it out. It's my third EP but have gotten public transport before this year.

I'll do that so, did you just take the road from Athy to Stradbally then? i went from Athy last year and ended up in Green (which is what i was looking for).
