Can you BBQ at your tent for brekkie ?
Does everyone eat out of a vendor van for the weekend ?
Can you self sustain ?
Also Prossecco.... what to do?

You can't do it at your tent, but there are areas in each camp site set up for BBQ's.

whats with all the "looks like good news for ep forecast" ****e on joe.ie and that on facebook. Forecast actually appears to be rain from about 6pm saturday night on for the weekend which is pretty bad as only sunday night was real bad for few hours last year, puts a dampener on things......

It absolutely lashed down on Saturday last year! I had to have a complete outfit change after Noel G I was drenched

I have one and it's excellent for getting your stuff from the car to the campsite....don't buy that one though...it's well overpriced I think...mine cost half that from Amazon. Yes it's too late to order online but look around elsewhere and you will do better.

Does it fit in the pink moon tent?

50 sterling now on Amazon so you got a great deal

Whats the story with 'special guests' abd surprise appearances.

Are they genuine or are they announced on site somwhere?

Couldnt be arsed last year trekking around and missed Hozier do the Bowie thing.

someone said the other day that The Strypes were announced for Other Voices, and then taken off, so they're probably the special guests on Saturday night as they're down playing the main stage that afternoon.

Jerry Fish Tent I think

What areas are yet to announce times? I haven't seen band of horses named yet.

Probably best not to overthink it....it's too early to say for sure what's going to happen. I'd be more concerned if it pissed in the days leading up to it, as that would mean mud everywhere when we arrive. And that's really unlikely to happen. Right now Friday and Saturday don't look bad at all, it's the Sunday that is uncertain but it's too far out there to be worrying about it.

I have no idea what times the hens and stags are starting ... probably best to avoid them though.

... on the timetable app... There is good news and bad news...

Good News: Android app is done and ready to roll .. it will be in the play store tomorrow evening.

Bad News: There will not be an iPhone version this year. I have tried to rebuild the one from 2015, but there are hundreds of errors due to changes in Swift language. There is no way I will get time to fix all those errors and get it through the Apple review process in time for the weekend ... Sorry about that .

Unacceptable! Death to the Pablo!!





..and Roy!!





..and the Apple review process probably! :pac:

Sorry to hear this, by every account I've heard your EP app rocks! Let us know when it hits the Androids & I'll be telling anyone I know not using iPhones to check it out. Thanks again Pablo!

How are the stage times for people so far? No major clashes for me so far, biggest worry I have is that Bicep or Soulwax will clash with the XX or Duran Duran. Who do we reckon will headline the EA? Interpol, Father John Misty and another?

Check the ep site but you can bbq but with limitations, much as I love to cook there's no way I'm hauling all the required stuff, great food on-site anyway, Prosecco in a plastic bottles, no issue there, if you put drinks under your tent it really helps cool them a bit

I have used the master truck from woodies for the last 8or 9 years. It has a part that folds down that allows you to carry more than the Stanley truck

YR has been updated again this evening and still no rain forecast.

Oh if only it were that simple!

I was the same before Slane, tormenting myself with climatology.

I think Annie Mac will be one.

No sign of Mr Jukes! Any predictions for that, they've made my must see list, (thanks to you lot!) Big bombay fan and enjoy my funky soul in muy old age, so I'm loving his new project...in other news...., the this charming men clash with rtj is really annoying me! Best start to the festival I've had in six years of going last year, few cans at the salty around teatime and a bit of an aul flail, the teenagers were bemused!!!!

So far so good.. my Saturday evening is going to be jammers. Will have to choose floating points over attention bebe as much as I love them! Just gotta wait for the rest of the times now for more clashing to happen...

Okay so I bought three tickets, one was for my brother who came home from Canada for EP. I gave him his ticket today and guess what he fecking did? Put it in his pocket in swimming togs and jumped into the sea with it at 7pm. Ticket is long gone now, anyone have any advice?

For those worried about it maybe possibly raining sometime in not too near or not to distant future, I offer you the wise words of my grandmother...

"There is no such thing as bad weather in Ireland, there is only inappropriate clothing."

It's not going to be bad enough to kill you. Grow a pair and get on with it.

Yeah, but when you're going with a toddler, and could just as easily stay at home...

As Run The Jewels would say; Call Tickettronmaster.

If you bought them from an agent or an unofficial source, you're in trouble.
