    Had some absolute jobsworth count each individual can at Beyond the Pale which was a first. Hopefully it's not the same security company.

    Ping Pong Disco and Ealu le Grá are covered. Then some of the bars such as the large Guinness one next to the well, the Schweppes tent, the big Rock shore bar near SKOW. Maybe a few others too but they're off the top of my head.

    Any recommendations on where to camp/how to make the most of the weekend?

    Also, of there's any other small groups/couples/solo polos who fancy meeting up for a drink/set?

    First timer here. Haven't done a music festival since going to oxegen as a teenager (which was a less than positive experience)

    Has anyone used the showers in general camping before? I've been spoilt in family camping the past few years but have no kids coming this year so am in general. Does the queue move quickly or is it as off putting as it looks? The queue in family was great, most people stripped off before and dried off afterwards in the communal area so it moved really fast. There was always a few who got dressed in the (soaking wet) shower cubicle and slowed the whole process down 😡

    I went to festivals for years and never dreamt of bothering to queue, but it was so lovely to freshen up, I'd be tempted

    Oxegen facilities would be considered pre historic compared to ATN I'd say, as said already most of the campsites are the same. A rule of thumb of a person is looking for a quieter spot would be to stay away from the high traffic areas as they would tend to be a bit madder.

    Looking from the line-up there may be a bit of a madder crowd with the prodigy playing but previous experiences I've had with camping have always been positive.

    Is there no showers in the campervan section?

    Yeah a great flute player too, his first album has an amazing version of the Otter's Holt reel.

    Nope, I've never seen any. Poor enough facilities in Campervan area. Bunch of toilets, that's it.

    Just noticing that offical directions state not to go through Carrick on suir.

    Would this be more applicable to those travelling on a Thursday or Friday? Coming from the west on Saturday morning so carrick would be fastest route

    Follow whatever signs the tell you to, it's worked out well the last couple of years.

    Its been a while since I drove around that direction, just trying to work out my route.

    I take it that signs will be present up to a few miles coming up to the featival, so might not necessarily help with 80% of the journey. Will figure it out!

    They usually put the traffic plan/directions up on social media before the festival. I wasn't there in 2019 when it was a disaster, but in 2022 and last year, the directions worked perfectly for us coming from Dublin and the event was well sign posted from a few miles away.

    It's a new stage, so who knows. The AVA stage wasn't covered last year, my hunch would be that it's not this year either. Organisers say it's "set in serene clearing".

    The weather rollercoaster continues, latest forecast not looking amazing particularly for Sunday, things will change though, probably a few more times between now and then though.

    In the past few pages you've given out your number and inadvertently suggested you'll be holding. Tighten up on the housework there good man.

    Selling 1 x weekend ticket for less than face value (€190 or best offer)

    And 1 x campervan/caravan ticket for face value (€100)

    I won’t be able to meet in person due to being in hospital post-spinal surgery, but Ticketmaster transfer options are active for both, so DM if you’re still interested

    How early do they open the arenas each morning, usually at EP I get up early to walk into the arena to use the freshly clean and quiet toilets ha

    I'm not sure what time they were cleaned but the toilets beside the Guinness Bar opposite the Belonging Bandstand were always fresh and ready for a days action whenever I used them from around 9am each morning.

    Did anyone happen to see how the poll on Instagram finished up.

    Last I saw it had 38% of respondents coming done on the Thursday which is quite high.

    No idea of the sample size tho.

    Ticketbastard 😂😂

    Those who went on Thursday last year, how was it compared to Thursday night in '22? I found it a bit sparse and quiet that night, although it was great to be there good and early and get a nice queue-less shower Friday morning

    OT but trying to flog an EP camper pass is bloody hard work this year for some reason.
