Are the Murder Capital and Murder Capital Allstars the same band?
MCA are on the spotify going around afiak

ta

The Murder Capital aren't on Spotify so they are a different act altogether.

Does anyone else have one completely unmissable recommendation? Ideally, one that others may have missed or not yet come across yet?



Fri - Seamus Fogarty (OVs)
Sat - Slow Place Like Home (B&S main)
Sun - Colter Wall or David Keenan

Adam Beyer sounds like a pretty intense Friday night act don't think anyone's suggested him just yet.

Anyone know where the apparent Berlin DJ bunker is?

Imagine how I felt finding out Massive Attack don't play Teardrop or Paradise Circus live any more.

hi all
been a lurker here with the past few days to get in the mood
One festival tip that works a treat for me every year is the old boil the cap off a plastic water bottle - check it out on youtube
No matter how many cans get confiscated on the way into the main arena they cant touch the 'water' bottle and I've had security pay very close inspection said bottle
roll on the roadhouse doors tomorrow

Are you allowed bring a bottle of water into the main arena?

everlast75

Right.
I am f**king off from work now.
I have to buy some bungee cords, my booze and *sigh* pack.
I hope to be there for the Roadhouse Doors, but may not be. I'll be on here if any other places are arranged.
Safe journey, you magnificent b*stards!

Arrived, busy enough.

Green car park is on Google maps, came through Portlaoise head towards Stradbally

Yes as long as its under 500mL (replace water with whatever your clear fluid poison of choice is) - have a look at the video on youtube ''How to Re-seal a Water Bottle''

Jesus the notification vibration from the EP app was strong enough there, just to tell me that contactless is onsite now

So there are, how is that if they're reporting it as sold out? Seems unfair to all the people who've been scrambling to get tickets for the past couple of months.

Hi guys, lurked on here a few times, but never posted.

Just to put my mind at ease, can normal weekend camping wristbands get full access to campervan site?
I'm driving up, parking in (hopefully) red, and walking to campervan site to stay in my friends campervan for the weekend.

Shouldn't be a problem, right?

Time to head back, finish loading the car, (won't take long), eat and then next stop is the Green Car Park of EP2018!

Reality can phuck right off for a few days, enjoy everyone, it's goin' ta be tttropic!

Yeah Ive done that before also.

Would you not try and land at the yellow car park? Much closer to campervan site.

Fatfrog

In ECO also... I'll be the one with a blue tent, green camping chair, slight beard, sunglasses, 30-40 years old, hat & drinking cans.....you can't miss me

Is it? Was just judging from the festival map, didn't seem like much of a difference, but I'll look into that a bit more, cheers.

I'm coming from Dublin so thought there was a good chance I end up in Red anyway.
