    Great job, thanks.

    Looking at it, Eco will be fairly rammed if they are doubling the numbers.

    I don't think they're doubling are they? 25% increase I thought?

    No sign of Interpol on the stage times either...

    Interpol almost certainly going to be an EA headliner

    Tis 6 days away, when has there ever been a reliable forecast that far ahead in Ireland. Don't check it again until Thursday, but in any case you can be sure it will rain at some point

    a few each day is how they've done it the last few years. should have all the main stages by Wednesday, although once or twice we were still missing times for small stages on Friday morning...

    I've had no issues bringing in 2 bottles (in plastic) for myself and the Mrs.

    The rule is kinda vague:
    Please also note that excessive amounts of food, cigarettes and alcohol may be refused entry to the site.

    Really? A tribute act? I'd have thought they would be at the bottom of the list of bands to see at a festival.

    Well, as neither Morrissey nor Marr are on the bill, These Charming Men provide the best chance of the weekend to band together with a likeminded group of Smiths fans and sing along to the some of the best lyrics and tunes ever written (imo).

    Saw them at the Salty Dog (I think) early doors on the Friday last year and really enjoyed it.

    This year will be at Run The Jewels though.

    Good to see mother DJs closing the sunday night again in Body & Soul usually a great end to it all. Usually i do attention bebe the sat night at 2am or so but see they have been moved into an evening slot on the Earthship on sat which isn't great! will have to find something else now on the sat night.

    A good few main stage acts i want to see on the sat - hoped a few of those would have been in the other areas as i much prefer the tents to the main stage. having said that my main act to see is Mura Masa who could well be late sat in the Electric Arena.

    I've updated Clashfinder with this mornings times. If any mistakes just shout, or you can change it yourself.
    hopefully they're all correct, my brain was hurting by the end :pac:

    Any website that says it's going to be 24 degrees in Stradbally this weekend is to be immediately disregarded.

    Met Eireann is giving us a dry, calm day on Friday, 17 degrees, with only a bit of rain between now and then. I'll take that.

    Any chance you could add this stage to Clashfinder (I can't seem to figure out how to edit it).. Few artists here I'm hoping to catch over the weekend and Clashfinder is my bible for the 3 days...
