Was just looking at the lineup for this. Looks great. Saw Fleet Foxes a few months ago and would love to see them again. Also would love to see Mos Def (or Yasiin Bey). And Chaka Khan. And Booka Shade for the 10th time... :pac: Really want to go but not sure if I'll have work off. But sure feck it it's about 90% likely I'll have the weekend off and it's only up the road really (living in Cork) so why not buy a ticket. Do ye think it'll sell out?

I really think a lot of the crowd that have given up on Electric Picnic (like myself) will be going. My Mother and all her friends have bought tickets. Will be a nice crowd I'd say.

what demographic do you think will be at this, will it be families and late 30s/40s that are done with EP now or will still get a mid-20s crowd at it?

Mixed bag I'd say. My Mother is in her 50's and big crowd of them are going. Not sure would it attract a mid 20's crowd but then again I was in my mid twenties and few years ago and would have gone!

I'm looking forward to an older crowd (mid 40s) myself. Crowd at EP just seems to be getting younger and messier, although maybe that's just my age talking :D

It's a pity they didn't have it on the same weekend as EP. Would really grab a lot of that demographic. As it is, they are competing with Beatyard, Castlepalloza, Independence etc which have already soaked up the more youth challenged crowd.

It’s not baltic, it’s character building,

roll

Mogwai have a new tune out, 'Donuts' from the soundtrack of a film 'Kin' and its utterly utterly gorgeous!

Bring it on.The sunny south east is not a myth.

I'm a soft southerner and believe the tempeture drops a degree every county I move north through.

With the lineup this isn’t going to be just a retirement home for festival goers. I’m going with a big group all the same age (22)

I think a mixture is what a festival is all about. I'm 41 and just want to rewind the clock for the weekend.

On another note i heard the excellent Grandbrothers on Mystery Train last night. Definetly on the short list.

Don't suppose there's any b and bs or hostels near the festival site? Had a look the other day and they all seemed to be suggesting ones in Waterford city.

Will there be day tickets for this?

I doubt it, Portlaw is a small village, and there isn't a massive amount of BBs around.
And I would imagine travelling in and out of the Festival site (if you stay in a BB) will be tough going, as the connecting roads around this area are quite small , There will be Traffic Jams !

I asked ATN about leaving alcohol in the car and getting it as I needed it over the weekend and they said this was a no.

All alcohol must be taken in on the first entry and no further re-entry with alcohol will be permitted.

Just keep this in mind when unloading the car folks.

I love that we can bring our beer through out the site but this part is gonna be a pain.. Beer will need to be brought in with tent etc. Would have preferred to get in get tent up etc then head out for beer etc as I do at EP but it's a small price I suppose.. Trolley might be needed OR wheelbarrow :pac:

Also were hoping that some of the messing, nicking beer form tents etc, that go all else where won't happen... Don't fancy having my weekend supply nicked on the first night

Will definitely need a trolley now. Hadn't even thought of the security side of it. It's never happened to me at a festival so just took it for granted things like that wouldn't happen here.

I suppose it's the price ye pay for having the option of taking your beer all over the festival.

If anyone spots a deal on a trolley can they throw a link up here please ?

no, the rule is beer must be brought in on your first visit. Avoid busting yourself by coming back for the tent etc on a second trip.

The wisdom of a seasoned festival-goer right here, folks.

OK.. I'm missing something here.. If I don't have my tent to pitch and store my beer where do I leave it when I got back for my tent...

ghostdancer

just bring booze in a bag, and tent in your hands, put up tent, put booze in there, then go back and get clothes/food/toiletries.

meanwhile a "youth" will take said beer from your bag/tent while you're gone (later revealed to be someone's 50 year old Da)

I don't think I'll camp as I'll take the shuttles in and out from Waterford City. Will I be able to bring drink with me into the festival arena on a daily basis as drink is permitted inside festival grounds?

All alcohol must be taken in on the first entry and no further re-entry with alcohol will be permitted relates to camping I would presume here? Can someone go back to campsite to bring more alcohol into the arena?

Ah cheers, fair shout. I'd just prefer to spend money on fancy camping on a decent bed instead..

No you wont able to.

Buy a tent and keep the drink in it

Yeah, as there is no single day tickets I'd presume everyone will use the camping entrance everyday, so same rules would apply to your re-entry after the first day.

BurtMacklin

Good point but I'll seek clarification. There is no day tickets but also no obligation to camp. I still think I might be allowed bring drink into arena if I get off the shuttle bus at the entrance to the festival. It doesn't say you are allowed bring drink into the festival arena but only if you camp. Be nice to try clear it up.

I also wonder if they'll enforce the rule or only allowing drink being brought into the campsite on your first entry. Im happy to risk having a six pack of cold cans with me coming back in through camping on day 2. I'll have a mix of friends using the shuttle and camping.
