When is media day on site?
They usually have one last surprise at that don't they?

Media Day is today... I am usually there and was supposed to be there this year but no can do and am gutted :-(

Laois Today are posting loads in their Insta stories about it though! Runs until just after lunchtime.

Having a brand new dance stage for 8,000 people and then having it finish at midnight (presumably) feels pointless! Seems like there wont be as much going on past midnight this year?

More like a bigger little big tent really. Further away from the other tents.

One of the few acts that have me interested over the entire w/e. I hadn't noticed he was dull and boring. Might not bother now.

Edit: but i do agree with your Friday night is lite thing.

Mad...innit??

My Friday is loaded...from start to finish--first time ever that I've had so many acts that I want to see, and no clashes.

...add to that, that I have a gap in my Sunday schedule that I could drive a bus through (3.5 hours!)

Each to their own I guess.

Here's a look at the new Spike Island stage. Looking pretty good!

Welcome for the app .. was only kidding about the traffic. As pointed out above .. we need WASPS!

Sunday - Florence Vs The Streets Vs Kolsch Vs Michael Kiwanuka Vs Elder Island (not seeing much love for them, they are fantastic)

Best plan I can come with is Streets for 20 mins, Kolsch and then catch some of Elder.

Kolsch to Maya Jane to King Kong to Gaudi is a loose finish to the weekend.

Was/Is Freetown billed as a dance/electronic area?

I really don't see Spike Island as a good fit.

Looks like a cool spot though. Very Like Jimmi Lee's Juke Joint.

Yeah that Sunday night clash-fest is awful!

Gaudi at 2.30am on Monday AM, jeez. Thankfully I'm not above leaping about sober (driving to Co Antrim in the morning).

sorry to all ye leaving on sunday....

I actually love james blake, his latest album is so so good. Im not sure il be in the zone to see him at 10.30 on friday night though

Yea, I love James Blake, but is very much a wind down act, and I wont be ready for winding down @10.30 on Friday night. I wouldn't mind, but he has some absolute bangers, but he does usually stick with the slower ones.

I'm surprised Charli XCX didnt get a main stage set.

Yep it was in a press release earlier in the year, well Terminus was to be specific.

"Anchored by Terminus, a brand new 8,000 capacity mega-stage for electronica and dance (presented as an Eastern Bloc architectural colossus), Freetown will rise from the ground for just 4 days of the year."

Maybe the 2 Johnnies are playing a DJ set :P

Yeah some colossus!!

My timetable is a bit light earlier in the days with a lot of gaps (apart from multiple clashes after 9pm). I need to fill it out a bit.

Has anyone any tips for acts that don't excite particularly on recordings but put in stunning live performances?

Pink moon camping...what's the pros and cons?!

Is it any craic or more like organised fun

that tent is going to be stupidly packed. Mass exodus to Christine & the Queens afterwards.

Clean toilets hot showers, clean, space around your tent to sit out, and you can sleep 3am - 8am without dickheads shouting "nice onnnneee bbrrruuuvvvvaaa".

That makes more sense. Someone posted a pic of a large tent yesterday saying it was Terminus.

Don't think there's a curfew?

This might be a stupid question but I see 'Cynema' listed as performing on Body & Soul Sanctuary stage at 2.45am on Sunday night/Monday morning - is this the Irish producer who used to go by 'Cinema' after undergoing a name change or is it someone else?

I remember a few cool Cinema tunes and a really good live set in Cork a few years ago but wasn't aware of a name change, if one happened, or is it just a similar name!
