another vote for TCM meet if its all the same,
roadhouse doors not as appealing personally
and probably wont go to them

How about hanging about by the right of the sound desk for TCM? Usually a little more room there than on the other side of the stage as that gets rammed with people coming from the main arena.

And please no clashes with TCM.

You'd expect so though we had Ash at that time last year, ABC in 2016, Garandaddy in the EA in 2012 and a few goodies opening the main stage in the past - Waterboys, Janelle Monae, Michael Nyman Orchestra, Sinead O'Connor.

If any EP schedulers are out there can we suggest 6pm on Fri as a good time to put Years & Years on the main stage, Riptide Movement in the EA and so on.....

My brilliant wife sourced a ticket for me! Can't wait now, what is it 10 sleeps! Will be back later with my must sees, couldn't bring myself to make a list pending ticket!

Razorlight playing Sunday, likely around 6pm main stage I'd say.

Oh yeah going home due to family commitments is way more fun that an extra night at a festival! ;-)

Other Voices I believe has gone to live on a farm.

Seem to be missing Other voices and Little Big Tent.
Possibly the new 3 stage in the woods is to replace other voices, I really hope not,
and Freetown might be to be replace Little big tent, but thats all just a guess from me.

Is that just for EP or in general? I think the Dingle outing was in a spot of bother. They started charging for arm bands last year.

Last week, they announced that they'll be holding an event in Wales this November. It follows events in Berlin and Belfast this year. Haven't heard if they're back in Dingle in the winter but also haven't heard any suggestion that they won't be.

I'd say the brand is doing fine - it was a tricky balance at EP. The stage was tiny and they used get decent acts. It was great if you could get in but a lot of people just couldn't squeeze in.

Plus if EP wanted to redraw the site and do something different, some things had to go. OV wouldn't have been on that list for me but maybe it just made more sense for them at the OV organisers.

When you see the final line up, you feel the loss of OV. It's a big miss for me. Lots of real low key quality there over the last few years.

I still think there is some 3introducing type stage somewhere too. Three do seem to be promoting unsigned type acts from what I think I heard on some of their Spotify ads. They seem to have a big enough presence there this year, they'll have the usual DJ stuff aswell I'm sure so probably nothing like Other Voices really. Speaking of corporate sh1te Applemans cider announced something on Facebook about some area with vinyl DJs somewhere.

Rumour is they may be moving from Dingle or at least scaling down stuff. Apparently the church there needs renovation.

It took place in my hometown Ballina last year and is returning there next February. Local feedback says they've a ten year agreement with the church there.

Last year at TCM I was singing away loving it when a girl beside me said "we seem to be the only ones singing" as most around us were younger and just chatting away...anyway I was talking to her for a minute when I remembered the boardsie meet up...so I popped the question to her...what's a boardsie was her answer....I tried to explain but alas she shuffled away probably thinking I was some feckin weirdo...Ah well was a brilliant gig as always

sydthebeat

I have a bit of a problem, I’m after losing my weekend camping ticket. Does anyone know if I am able to sort this or what I can do?

As long as you bought it directly from Ticketmaster and not from a third party, you can get them to cancel it and reissue you another one.
