Last year my girlfriends bag never got searched so we just brought in our own drink to the venue, the security seemed really nice aswell, all from scotland i think.
I didn't get searched once last year. Every time their was a break between acts I'd go back to my tent, fetch two cans and stuff them into the back pockets of my jeans. Then I'd simply tie my jumper around my waist to conceal my cans and walk back into the concert area. It worked every time.

sorry but would pet shop boys not be playing the main stage rather than the electric arena? are the stages mixed up? not a personal view as to they should be playing main stage rather than the YYY's but just punter numbers i thought would dictate they play the main stage, especially given the size of their show? getting more excited, now all i need is a ticket!

Line up is looking very tasty in terms of how the stage times break down for me. Some stage choices seem strange all right, but the better the act on the smaller the stage the better.

Originally I thought they were main stage headliners but Basement Jaxx are obviously considered the bigger draw and are the main stage. Weird how that second stage ends so early Sunday night on the timetable yesterday they were running 10:40 to 12:00 which I thought would have made more sense

3 Day Weather Outlook: "The weather will continue very unsettled through the rest of the week and over the weekend but overall mild a lot of the time with temperatures probable a little above normal. Mild on Thursday night with clear periods and showers. Windy on Friday with sunny spells and scattered heavy showers and after a mild humid start it will turn cooler and fresher as the day goes on. Becoming wet Friday night and early Saturday through Munster and Leinster with widespread heavy rain for a time but brighter elsewhere with some sunny spells and scattered showers and brightening up also in the south and east during the afternoon. Becoming humid and close on Sunday, there will be some dry bright periods in places but overall a lot of cloud with rain at times much of it light." Ponchos all round then!!

I'm going, hellz yeah, but funk me, Saul Williams and The Rapture clash with one another. Although at least I can finally get to see Basement Jaxx. I've never made time for them before, but I really want to see them live now.

The Saturday line-up on the Foggy Notions stage is quality, except The Things should swap stage times with Psapp.

Im starting to dread the toilets again, does anyone know if using Immodium for three days is wise, even maybe just two days because they`ll be clean on friday with a bit of luck.

Last year they were really bad, its the morning thats the problem before they open the venue. Last year i was in a queue for a tiolet on the sunday morning and a girl just opened one and got sick before she even entered. I left the queue :-)

blokes piss everywhere. You can't blame girlies for doing the same. Both are gross though.
