Limerick band Martian Subculture in Jerry Fish now. Impressive.

Sounding very like Whitney (the band not Bobby B's ex).

Same to yourself and your wife. What a lovely lot the Boardsies are.

A great evening all round.

Largest crowd I've ever seen for a main stage act

How's everyone doing with the smuggling?

Very easy last night, 2 cans plus a 'sealed water / white rum' a breeze.

Haven't brought cans in today but definitely search more thorough coming through at midday.

Odd Morris. Jerry Fish. Excellent.

How are the facilities and queues holding up? Hearing the usual "it's far to packed, oversold" comments more than usually on the Twitters.

Apart from the usual madness st the main stage, think it’s better then normal. The new Freetown and expansion of the main arena has thinned out the herds and made it much easier to get around.

Heineken needs to duck off though. Awful sh1te.

Anyone go to Shura last night? Really good gig but strangely small crowd. Must have only been 50 people there.

The forgotten stage. No sign posts, confusion with another stage with similar name, etc.

Shame as it's a great little stage with a very good line up.

Dark Sky is reporting clear weather through to lunch time tomorrow.

Any chance Villan will grace us with an update?

Lisburn lass Amy Montgomery channeling Janis in about 5 minutes at Salty Dog. Do yerselves a favour and swing by... Anyone swaying along in a Suspect Device T-shirt ‘‘tis me.

Hahahaha so true, and was very dull
Love that new area though, OV was great but the crush made me avoid it a lot.

Scary Eire for a bit then a DJ in grannies gaff, great craic at that - "No frigids allowed!"

Will they attack the audience like they once did in UCD.

Stillill42

You have to love this place. From the love in that was the Bootleg Beach Boys, up to Spike Island for a trad session, brilliant music and some serious freestyle amateur Irish dancing. Great craic. Happy people. I got so enthusiastic I spilt half a pint of cider over myself. It's not even 3 o clock. Life is good, folks.

Usually have to leave a tip for that or else make sure you have flowers next time.

Jessica Pratt very good at the B&S but stands no chance against the background noise. Logis the worst culp8i believe.

Reminds me of Paul Buchan an getting drowned out here years ago.

Off to The Clockworks shortly.

I certainly will, should have worn my short shorts to make sure of it.

scruff monkey

Lads & Lasses. Scary Eire, can someone answer this. Were they on the billl below Texas supporting Simple Minds in the RDS in 89? There was some Irish hip hop type crew and my brain is convinced it was them (day of my leaving cert results I think it was)

The bootleg beach boys perfect way to kick off the day in the sun. Counted at least 5 of us there

Anyone know if the football match will be shown in there somewhere tomorrow?

EIREDriver

Couldn't get work off so am currently very jealous of you all living it up at EP.

Gerry Cinnamon at 6 is a must see. He puts on one hell of a show, will have the crowd hopping. I'd sell a kidney to be right in the middle of it all. Should be absolute mayhem.

Enjoy the rest of the picnic every one and hopefully see yous next year!

Genghis

First proper set of the day and it's a good 'un. Silverbacks literally raising the roof in Cosby.

Newstalk tent in the Mindfield area was always the best bet for it. Crowd could be huge though so can be hard to see if you're not there early.

Alternative is to leave the site, head to Stradbally and watch in a pub there. Upside, better view actual pints but, of course, you've to make your way there and back again so less Picnic time.

I'm not a GAA fan so luckily have never had to choose!

Ran up to Kehoes a few years back for a semi final alright. Just me and the mrs tomorrow so wanted to see it without dragging her out of the site altogether. Ill bring the wireless instead :-)

6! ...was lurking at the back attempting the harmonies in vain. Roadhouse Doors at Trailer Park now. Serious case of deja vu. Not a bad thing though...
