Beyond The Pale Festival - 10th-12th June - Glendalough

it won’t be returning in a recognisable form to what people are familiar with and not in that location.

Anyone know where abouts is best to collect people who have day tickets? Have drawn the short straw and have to collect my partner and her mate on the Saturday night. Not looking forward to that drive at 1am.

So sent them a message on Instagram asking and they replied that there is no drink allowed into the arena areas and that's its only allowed in the campsites. Such a shame they only mentioned this one week before!

Annamoe entrance (Gate 1) seems to be for drop-offs, buses, campervans etc. Would they use this entrance for day-trippers? The Oldbridge entrance (Gate 2) is marked as the main entrance on the new site map.

Either way, I’d imagine you could nearly drive all the way up through whichever carpark and collect them close enough to the whichever entrance. I suppose it depends on how they manage the flow of day trippers and wristband access to campsites and arena etc. on the day.

Probably should be spending that time moderating the chat on the app. Fair amount of spam messages there.

Only realising Camplight are there this year. Not sure if they were there last year. I used them in Glastonbury before and they're a handy in between option if you can't bring your own tent but don't want to pay the "boutique" prices. 280 for a 4 person tent v 400. They should have pushed that more.

@wooderson Do you feel there was less of a "dance music" lean last year? Hot Chip, Jon Hopkins & Leftfield were all headliners.

To me there's more guitar acts on the bill this year…. Alvvays, Courtney Bartnett & Gilla Band for example.

Hard to find similar on last year's bill expect maybe Pillow Queens.

Plenty of dance music to enjoy in a week's time alright but there was as much last year for me, and likely similar the first year.

For me, the issue this year is the headline names feeling like a step down however that could just be my personal taste.

Main arena music ends at 11pm Sunday and the late night area goes on for 2 more hours until 1.00.

It's been flip flopping a lot! For the most part it seems overcast but warm (ideal festival weather for me), with a period of rain that has been bouncing between Friday night and Saturday afternoon every time I check!!

It'll be grand anyway!! Shur it may as well be in the "sunny South East"!

........anyone got any of those stage times??

Hello, can’t wait to get down this Friday, gonna be a great weekend and the weather is looking on the up!

Just putting it up here incase anyone would like to avail, we have a few spare seats on a private bus heading from south Belfast on Friday morning at 9am, back up Monday morning at 11am, roughly £70/80 return depending on how many we get!

This would be nice.

Is there anyone else on the lineup similar to Rival Consoles? This is the sort of electronica I'd love more of.

Kelly Lee Owens is doing a DJ set, the only mix I’ve seen of hers is quite heavy dance music like techno and breakbeat, nothing like rival consoles. Actually really looking forward to her set

You're a good man, Van Doozy.

Wheres de stage times at? Seriously....hours of planning and clash avoidance strategic decisions required...
