She should've been on the later slot. Mura Masa was soso compared to her.

Booka Shade were great

10 year agreement signed with curraghmore estate so i’d Imagine it’ll only get even better from here. Gutted to miss it myself, proper fomo all weekend

That's great. Haha I was only thinking yesterday I've never used "fomo" since I found out what it stood for, this is the perfect situation!

Maribou state probably the highlight so far, they were unreal.

This heat today is insane.

I’m way too old to use it but it fits the bill here!!

Jimmy Cliff is delayed, not on the main stage anymore

I really enjoyed Roisin Murphy, one of the best gigs I've been at. I didn't know what to expect but really enjoyed it. She has a great voice and put on a great show.

I really enjoyed the festival overall, delighted to hear they've signed a long lease. I can see the lineup getting better and the festival will definitely be very successful if they stick with this format.

Which stage has he been moved to?

Amazing weekend. Positive vibes all round, Mogwai, underworld, Black Madonna and the One Love tent were the highlights. Staff were so friendly and seemed well informed. Festival of choice for me now.

One question: was there any rave or anything happening after 3:30 anywhere on the site? We couldn’t find anywhere and went back to the but the campsite was very quiet.

Closest thing to late night rave appears to be Arcadia any other late night suggestions.

For any of the “older” crowd from the EP thread reading this - this is the festival you are after

Chelon

People saying Jimmy Cliff is cancelled now? If not where is he on?

Fully agree. Gang of us was like this was exactly what EP used to be like before the oxygen peps turned up and ruined it.

Vibe was amaaazing

Not there this weekend - had hols booked at the same time.

Can you (or others?) compare the event to Body and Soul? Their own festival not the area at the Picnic. Particularly interested in comparisons from any parents who’ve brought their kids to ATN this weekend and have been to Body and Soul with their kids before

Never at Body and Soul but here with parents who have. No comparison they reckon. This wins hands down.

Following this thread, and like what is being said.

Have thought about bringing kids to EP, but just think it's not suitable (not sure if any festivals are) but from what I'm reading, ATN seems to be ok.

Any idea if next year's tickets will go on sale this week?

Stillill42

Ah Fufanu lads. Gig of the weekend for me.

EP and Body & Soul would both be perfectly suitable during the daylight hours. There was so many kids at B&S this year.

Anyone see Nils Frahm or David August???

Frahm is on later. 11.15pm

I’ll never, ever understand bringing kids to a festival.

showpony1

Anyone hear about the go team being special guests tonight? Some girl neighbor told me this but she may have been out of it

Home now from ATN, and had an absolutely cracking festival, but the kids thing was pretty mad at times. Whatever about the children knocking around in the afternoon, I saw buggies outside the something kind of wonderful stage as I was leaving mogwai post-midnight on the Friday. Also saw people dragging a trolley with sleeping kids in it in the main arena last night at about 11.30pm. There was even really young babies (month or two) about the place, which is just mental!

I know this festival is in part marketed at families, but I think a ruling on the times kids are allowed inside the main arena would be prudent. Kids and drunken/mad out of it adults is a mix that should never happen!

Total lack of ear protection for kids. Are parents oblivious. There were good parents though, but many more bad ones.

Funny cause there was a tusla stand there

Wanderer78

What's the transport situation like out of Portlaw afterwards?

PTH2009

Very nice to read the positive comments about the festival and hopefully it's the start of something for the venue and we might get some big stand alone shows in the future too

She was out of it, they're gone home.

Great festival. Definitely felt like the early days of Electric Picnic.

(I was one of the bad parents - brought ear defenders but my toddler was having none of it. Will work on him for next year.)

At least you tried friend.

Fleet foxes were magical. Caught tommy tiernan for the first time, Saul Williams to start my day and Prince would have been proud of New power generation.

Well curated and thought out festival. Although I didn’t go to see nils frahm as I thought his delicate piano play would have been drowned out by the Ava stage and the Samsung home stage.

Will come back..
