I think me & my brother arrived about 5pm ish or something like that on the Thursday, and getting in was a breeze.  There was a queue, but it was a moving queue. Was about a 5-10 min walk from the car park to site as I recall, nothing like the schlep at G.

As far as location goes, we just plonked down in a spot by the Cabaret tent.  Nice and easy to walk back into the main area, quiet enough to kip but not completely dead quiet so a wee bit of bustle.  Was a decent enough pitch, but we pretty much wandered in and just found somewhere with a space so didn't spend ages weighing up the options 🙂

Depends on how on it you mean I guess!  There was a lot of fragrant smoke around the place, but not 100% sure about others.  There is some later night stuff, but obvs not to the same degree. In all honesty I think it would depend on how out of your tree you'd plan to get; if you're at a dancing / hugging / sweating state you'd probably be OK, but if you're naked and running around screaming about the dragons chasing you then you might get noticed 😄

Someone else recommended North Camping to me so that sounds like its near the tent you mentioned.  

Seems like it will be easyish if I turn up about 3pm ish and I don't think any other festival is as much of a ballache as Glastonbury is!

Well maybe just one pinger each and probably just for a dance around the late night tent for a couple of hours, I won't be stripping off and talking to any trees that's for sure. 🙂

Had to check my programme for 2018, but yep was North Camping.

I reckon that sounds a decent bet!  I'm assuming it'll be the same, but last time they had live stuff until about 2am then Silent Disco until 5am on Friday and Saturday. I think everything on the Sunday finishes earlier apart from the main stage, so it kind of brings the whole place together for the big finale

5am is late for a silent disco! 

I heard the Bimble Inn is open quite late too? 

I'll probably be relieved that sunday finishes early, will be done in by then and then have a long drive home on monday anyway. 🙂

1. Bugger, that sounds mighty painful. Sorry that might be screwing up your fest plans 😞

2. @guypjfreak you still looking for tix bud?  You had first dibs on these, but if you're not interested I have a mate who is!

Are tix printed with names - might have 1 spare to sell...

Hi, if that ticket is still going, I’m after a spare one. I’ve got an alert set up on Twickets but I’m never quick enough! No worries if not 😎

Ok, cool. I'll note your name and check whether they are named or whatever if / when they arrive depending on whether BD goes ahead or not. Would have been the missus ticket, but she is humming and haring about going...

👍

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
