I’ve never seen this famous shop, I always stay in Pink Moon so I guess it’s not my end

We bring a large cooler box packed with ice and cold cans, not frozen but from a very cold fridge. We have a great trolley though so carrying is easy

It's in Hendrix/Joplin.

For any one interested playlist of my main arena must or like to see bands. Where possible song choice based on recent gigs. Hope you find something new in it and know many of you have different tastes to me but no picture this, Gavin James etc.

Ah lads no point in moaning about B*witched, it's in electric Ireland stage like, supposed to be cheese. Having said that I'll be avoiding it like the plague. I did spend a but if time there over the years, saw yer wan from Ace of Base past year. And 2unlimited a few years before that.

Great amount of Irish acts from Indie added. King Kong Company now essential viewing unless they clash with Prodigy for me, but the talent that's in this country right now is ridiculously good. Ham Sandwich, Wild Youth, Wyvern Lingo so many more. I think the last time the scene was this good for me was the early 2000s. Can't help but feel quite proud of what we have here!

Only getting around to comment on the new additions now, as far as I'm concerned about the Irish pop acts announced, thank god we have other stages to go to, my picks from the new announcement would be, The Prodigy, Death Grips, Mavis Staples, DJ Koze, Gomez, Ash and King Kong Company and we still have to get a few more stages announced, so quite happy with that, could be better. There's enough there to keep me going and perhaps I'll meet some of the trad musicians I had a tune with at Body & Soul and have a few more sessions over the weekend.

I'm banking on seeing some sessions in the Ghaeltact section, I'll hopefully be having a few tunes in pink moon too. Only a learner mandolin player though!

If Mr EP himself is happy, then that's case closed lads.

We'll get together for a few reels, jigs and hornpipes

Just to recap, most of us appear to be in our 40s, Smiths fans and attending EP on our own. Sure who wouldn't want to meet us?

It does explain a lot of the response here over the recent weeks.

Ended up in a bid of a Scarlxrd Google deep dive. No wonder he has all that rage built up if this was his thing for a while. 10/10 quite intrigued. Probably would last 15 minutes at his set though.

Did anyone make it to the Transmission stage at all last year??? I walked past it a few times but never seemed to be many people at it. Wondering if it was any use?

I've updated the clashfinder with all the acts I could find that have self announced times. A good few have dates set but not times so I didn't bother putting those in.

Also, two acts have announced they're playing the "Solstice Stage" at Body & Soul, I wonder if it's a renaming of a different stage or a new one altogether?

There was a red bull area in the main grounds just up from the big wheel the year before it was further down towards the exit/entrance

€100. Very hard to get hold off though.

Plus about 12e booking fee

Can't believe that's the same guy. Goes to show how cynical the whole thing is I suppose. Still, I'm looking forward to his set.

Eco just sent mail with booking numbers and about new location being nearer to Rave in the Woods.

Reminding people it is a festival and to expect some noise.

Both have Sunday 2nd on their websites. Both are in other festivals on the Friday:

As to time, that's a guestimate based on the way EP usually have a big clash closing on the Sunday and the Main stage closes earlier. Last year they had Duran Duran, Soulwax, Kiasmos and Ash playing at the same time. I can't see either of them being further down the bill than headliner to be honest, Prodigy in the Main Stage St Vincent in the Electric Arena from 11-12 would be my guess!

That clash last year cut me deep. Decided upon Soulwax Live and with their awesome drums setup, they didn't disappoint!

I see that the Interference with Glen Hansard are playing in Sept down in Cork.

Missed them last year at Jerry Fish... would be great to see them announced again.
