are we assuming this is in the very same place as OV was??

you wouldnt want any noise bleed when serpentwithfeet is on.

Good question--no idea!!! Don't know the size of this new stage. The Other Voices "community hall size"--was it a permanent building there????

And yes, you wouldn't, would you...

Quite a few here i want to see but all playing elsewhere. Might help with clashes but a big disappointment as thought there might be some new music to check out.

were they?? or were they just main announcements who have now been corralled into 3MBM ?

definitely missing a completely new Other Voices announcement... and id say the actual numbers of acts playing this year must be down about 20% on last year

I'd agree...I'd say they are not playing elsewhere. The names were announced previously (in the most part if not all) and now they're being divvied up amongst the stages....have this vision of loads of people with cards with band names throwing them into buckets with "Main", "Three", "Cosby"...and an almighty row ensuing...

Never mind Three - the real news is that Picado are going to have an outlet down in what looks like Freetown.

I've a spare Eco-Camping ticket, first to drop me a PM can have it. Include your email address so I can forward it.

Gone Already!

I have a question about performers tickets. Usually I’m a general admission/pink moon girl but defaulted to ATN this year and couldn’t afford both festivals!
But the fomo gods have landed me a performers ticket for EP.... are there any perks to the ticket like fancy loos or a separate campsite? I’ve never general camped so I’m trying to prepare myself!

There's a performers campsite, and you apparently also get access into the VIP area*, which has a few flushing toilets, as well as shelter in the bar marquee.

*possibly not - unless you've an artist wristband, as opposed to a performer wristband.

Cheers Alastair, it was mostly the campsite I was wondering about. We won’t be there until Saturday morning and I was worried about the availability in general camping - I’ve been too spoiled over the years by pink moon!

Slap bang in the middle of the Providencia section of Freetown to be exact - Some awesome workshops/demos will be taking place under the red awning!

The performer campsite is usually pretty spacious and a safe haven from the worst of Hendrix style horror shows. Right behind boutique camping.

“Asking for a friend” Anybody historically have any issues with bringing a caravan in with a campervan pass? The caravan ticket comes in two pieces, one part for the caravan, the other a hanger for the car. I think campervan passes only consist of the hanger part. I suppose my pal could legitimately say (and truthfully!!) that he originally had a campervan and recently sold it and bought a caravan...

Sounds perfect, one last question if I may, I need to enter through gate 7, is that between paintball and main entrance?

You should be alright but hopefully your not travelling down with a group of your friends in campers and caravans as both vehicles get separated and have to be parked separately because its a health and safety issue if they are parked together.

I wonder if this would be a replacement for the LBT rather than OV?

I think it said it will be located in the woods but yeah I wonder if the rumours of the LBT being gone are true. Guess we will find out tomorrow when the map is out?

There's no "Little Big Tent" (LBT) on the line up poster or the scrolling banner on the web site. Looked back at the line up from last year's LBT and there's a very very similar feel to the artists that will be appearing in Three Made By Music.

LBT is the only area (that I can spot) missing from the app...

I think you might be right. That's a high quality line up for a little tent in the woods. I'll be spending half my weekend there.

This is not going to be a problem. Do not worry about it one bit.

Are u sure cos im going to buy a caravan ticket tonight and am feeling a little bit robbed because i am paying 250 for it when i could easily get a campervan one for 100 to 150..

This consistent bad weather in Galway for August is getting me down, I hope there is some respite in Stradbally next week. It seems Body&Soul festival got the best weather this year with a dry Friday and Saturday and a wet Sunday. All Together Now had a gorgeous sunny Friday and then a wet Saturday and Sunday although it cleared up for the nighttime.
