Forest Fest - Emo, Co. Laois - July 21-23 2023

Soundbleed from stages is very annoying. I'm sure the artists feel the same way as the punters as far as that goes. They'll have to be careful not to make a balls of it.

They played GIAF in 2016, they tend not to repeat acts, probably more likely to be the Marquee in Cork if they are doing other gigs in Ireland.

I ask as I can see a shuttle bus from campsite to the arena on last year's map and am confused about the set up. 

Is there any campsite in the main campus itself that you can walk to and from the main stages from? Where will the glamping campsite be situated? 

Do you need to leave the main arena and head into the town to attend gigs or is everything in the one main arena? 

Really want to go, but depends on the set up. Don't want to be leaving the festival site for any reason whether that be to attend a gig or accommodation.

Cheers in advance.

Did any of you use camping last year and if so what was it like, random field? toilets? showers? security? organisation?

There are 161 sleeps

Surprised it took us this long, but herself and I just got tickets for this today. Couldn't have James play here and not turn up! And it would feel weird leaving on the first night. So really, our hands were tied.

Can anyone who was at the last one advise on Late Night Rave options, or is that not a thing here?

How did the camping work at this last year?

Looking at the pictures there seems to be vans with tents beside them etc? I was looking at the gglamping thing but now wondering about bring the transit or jeep and maybe spending the glamping costs on a driveaway awaning or something for either vehicle? We have lots of gear built up over the years from doing EP so wondering about a new setup for this and some of the other festivals.

Obvioulsy the above only really works if we can camp beside the vehicle.

Thanks

Thanks, I saw that those and the caravan were gone.

I was just wondering was it possible to camp beside the vehicle or if it was like EP where you park up and lug all your stuff in to a seperate closed off area. I was thinking of a set up like below but you are probably right that this would need to be in the campervan area, which is the issue as it wouldn't be a proper campervan. There are similar options for estate cars and SUVs using the tailgate.

Curious to know from those who attended last year if you saw any teens allowed in? My 16 year old interested in going Friday night only but don't want to land down to be turned away. I know it's an over 18s event, but how strict is it
