That Virgin Megastore Balloon sounds great, I guess queues will be massive, don't think i'd queue at the expense of missing bands though. Mar: You can get the aircoach to Portlaoise, taxis from Portlaoise to the EP seem to be a standard €20, there are shuttle buses running to the site from Portlaoise train station €7 each way. There is a private coach running from Cork to the site but it is a bit pricey at €60. Alternatively a return train ticket Cork to Portlaoise is €45.

Shame about the radiator tent. there will still be some independent bands playing the festival, such as neosupervital, Tadgh Cooke and ourselves, Delorentos, in the Big Tree Stage. Not sure if the times are going to be on the offical program, so we're on at 3.15 on saturday if anyone is interested. enjoy the festival!

It's on too late in the year, no?????? It's Autumn for God's sake! well the first EP was held on the warmest day of the year that summer, traditionally September is a good month in Ireland. Its not like having a festival in June guarantees good weather! (flashbacks cold, wet and miserable Saturday at Oxegen and biblical floods at Glasto last year) Apparently the problem this week is that around Wednesday timeframe we are getting hit with the tail end of tropical storm Debbie bringing wind and rain but maybe that'll have cleared off by the weekend. In reality we'll probably have to wait until at least Wednesday for a more accurate forecast, i've my fingers crossed.

His myspace seems to say Friday, but I'm guessing he just didn't have more accurate info then. Hope it doesn't clash with Hot Chip though. Think they're playing Sunday. And I'm looking forward to practically everything at the Bodytonic tent on Saturday.
