"Condoms - Recommended" - you dirty dogs.

Still in too minds whether to go with a group staying in Joplin or to stick with my 2 man tent in Pink Moon.
Probably would regret leaving my comforts but would end up doing all the organsing for the other mate
going to Pink moon which would be annoying.

All 4 have already been announced. Hopefully Pogueology will be announced too.

I'm sick of this Throwback Ireland sh1t, we never had this rubbish at the early Picnics such as 2005 and 2007, why do we really need them now, why not just concentrate on building a good main arena lineup instead.

Campervan ticket arrived today. Hurrah! Didn't realise it's open from Thursday. We wouldn't have the van on Thursday anyway but does anyone know if the area will fill up on Thursday? Are we gonna be shoved down the back if we arrive on Friday lunchtime?

Yes we arrived 2/3ish last year and were in back field/overflow as it was,,some trek up through beirut.........

I don't mind the idea, but it's shocking how much traction and air time some of these acts get. If announced for the main stages it would be "the worst festival ever" but seems acceptable to put on absolute ****e on there, everyone raves and shares the hell out it on social M. But don't actually go to the gig!! ??puzzled

Arrrgg Freetown...other acts I just need to know!! then I can go back to work. Forget storm area 51, let's storm FR offices!!!

People will buzz in for one or two songs and then bail out when they realise they've no interest otherwise

It's an absolute waste of an area IMO

I checked with the place we're getting the campervan from and apparently past Molly is a genius and booked it from Thursday anyway so we'll be leaving Belfast around 1pm on Thursday to head down.

Pink moon got back to me incase anyone had the same question as me earlier, Thursday night check in closes at midnight!

Anyone live near Stradbally with a drone get some sneaky footage of Freetown and the current set up presume they're well into getting things together at this stage

bit harsh, jason byrne ardal o hanlon fred cooke joe rooney and bernard casey are all much much more deserving of a punch in the face for being oxygen-thieving 'comedians'

Bit too early yet I reckon. Maybe Carlow weather could take his drone out again. We got some stunning pics on here a few days before 2016 (I think) pink moon looked awesome.

I’ll be there for the media day and can post some shots that evening... will also do some live stuff on our Insta page if anyone is interested.
(Oops forgot to mention I’m a long time lurker, love reading this thread every year and 10th EP this year for me!)
