    Can you remember what time they played at? This slot is 2.30am, seems a very odd time for a special guest.

    Ash played in the late afternoon/early evening I think - the time kinda melted it thought so it could have been 10pm pahaha it was bright out...I think.

    I thought of Versatile earlier as well and would suit the time slot deffo, personally think it would be gas craic but I don't know if the majority of the crowd would be in to it?

    You two fellas need to invest in some timekeeping devices.

    I always find boots are overkill for a festival unless its raining torrentially for the whole weekend. Spose it depends on the ground too. No harm though if you can just have them in a boot of a car just in case.

    I've been to two Downloads and boots were an absolute necessity.
    I think the amount of people makes the most difference. A small festival like KS shouldn't tear the ground up too much, rain or not.
