All Together Now 2023

Uh oh... still early days so hopefully will shift.

Apparently less than 5% tickets left. On the weather front we're due some good weather so hopefully the weather gods favour us :)

No point in worrying about weather just dress accordingly as it is Ireland, it will be a bonus if we get a sunny day and a half. We were very lucky in 2018. In my review of 2019 if was a different story, I remember myself and a mate trying to eat out in the downpour and we were forced to go into the Road to Nowhere tent so that our grub didn't waterlogged, I complained that there was no outdoor sitting areas for just eating or sheltering from the rain and they did seem to improve this situation last year with a few covered non-music areas.

I was at Forest Fest last week and it was amazing to have the choice of 2 Irish microbreweries, as well as the standard fare at the main bars.

you have to laugh really - thats 3 festival weekends in row this summer from june (B&S, BTP), July (Otherside) and now August (ATN) where when checking the forecast in advance it not only says cloudy/wet but predicted STORM.

And they had it there the first year. Not sure about the 2nd. Might get paid by Diageo to only have their stuff

Yep Diageo will have it sewn up. Pity, but at least we've free flow for nice bags of cans.

And there's something to be said for a nice Guinness on a sunny afternoon (here's hoping we get one!!)

Sorry for another route question, will be my first time heading down and driving from Dublin. I know they say not to use Google maps, but would I be okay just setting it to Portlaw and following directions from there?

Not necessarily- there can be a bottleneck crossing the river there. Not sure but I think portlaw is where they're expecting traffic from north to come to though so you might be alright. I'm coming from the west so looks like I'll be directed elsewhere.

I had sworn not to give them a cent ever again after 2019, but I'm glad I gave them another chance. The two years of no gigs definitely helped and I had time to process it. Last year was amazing, and it finally made my decision for me to forget about EP and embrace this new festival.

As I said I wasn't there last year, but it's obvious from the Waterford coco map that was floating around here that they very much listen to feedback. Not just on the traffic but also on some stages with sound bleed issues in the first two editions.

ATN 2018 was probably my favourite ever festival, weather helped of course, but 2019 didn't keep up. In retrospect I agree with you, ATN is a gem of a festival. Roll on next week!!

hate to go there again, it wasn't bad, but also not a patch on the previous year. Crowd control, waste management, traffic all were managed worse in 2019 vs 2018.

I still had a good weekend that time don't get me wrong, but it was significantly cut short because we spent 9h getting there and lost most of Friday.

Glad to hear last year was good, as I'm sure this year will be!

I thought 2019 was fairly underwhelming for several reasons, definitely not bad and still had a great time, but it just didn't really blow me away and I don't have any particular memories from it.

Last year however was up there for me. Had it all. Some of my all time favourite DJ sets, Gilla Band setting the tone on Friday night, CMAT in the sun on Sunday afternoon... Absolutely loved the AVA in the woods stage. Was with a great group and everyone was just one on. Perfect storm.

Unfortunately Didn't make it in 2018 but everything I heard about it suggested it was pretty special. It seems like 2019 was a dip and then last year it was back to that level. Most people I know who went last year had similarly glowing reports. This year I feel like is the most amount of friends of mine going to the one event in a very long time. Few mates flying home Ireland for abroad for it. Absolutely buzzing...

That's exactly what it means yep!

Lol
