It's not the full line-up... there was a lot of decent acts added last year after the first line-up announcement, but tbh, for me - I only got to see a few of the headliners & spent the rest of the nights at some of the very excellent DJ sets & spent the days asleep. It's a festival with a huge amount of entertainment.. it's not just about the bands. If I get to see the Valentines & Sigur Ros, I couldn't give a flier who else plays.

I agree with Starbelgrade, there's alot more to EP than the acts. Great chill out area for when you want to get stoned around a campfire, cinema showing brilliant films to veg out in, decent food all over the place, showers to ensure you continue to attract the opposite sex, you can get fake married, go paintballing, take part in a public debate... and I distinctly remember dancing like a graceful nymph (ahem) in the centre circus ring of the big top at 3am last year.

To whoever stole all the American Frontier Wagon's before we got to book them this morning, you're not invited to our tipi party.

I shall be circling your tipi with my wagon over the weekend & will paintball anyone who tries to escape. Now, that's entertainment!

Four squaws with scalpers vs six wagon dwellers with paint?! No contest. Let the civil war begin.

Who says EP is only for yuppie douchbags?

Ha! Yeah I hear you Unicron. I've roughed it out plenty in the past, its time to have some well insulated festival fun.

Easy now.. I grew up in Cabra.

its well for ya belgrade, i grew up in a one bedroom flat, with bill cullens crazy aunty..molly d'arcy......

we were so poor at christmas instead of buying a christmas tree we drew one on the wall with crayons we nicked from old mr o reilly the english teacher.....while listenin to the old pete john...arroooo cha cha......... dem were de days.....

ep is scandalously priced. irish people will pay money over for anything.

ye would pay near the same on a sunday morning heading into the local centra for a newspaper, rehydrating juice, some rashers, real butter and a soft white loaf

All concerts run by the big 2 in Ireland are way overpriced, way way overpriced

PQ

Soft white bread... proper estate!

rashers, sausages...nice soft white loaf.......scrambled eggs and a few cheeky mushrooms....

juice and some kenyan coffee.....proper bloody order...

still think EP is ridiculously overpriced for what you get....

Does no-one eat pudding anymore? Feckin yuppies with their juices & Kenyan coffees... a cuppa Lyons is all ya need. Pfft. And then ye have the cheek to complain about ticket prices.. well if ya weren't going & blowin' all your money on fancy breakfasts, you might have a few quid to spare!

That makes 2 of us ...

Fuck me - i never thought for a second that 2 people from Cabra would be able to read, let alone write!!!

Or listen to non-repeditive generic music.

Gotta say Id love to go to this just to see Wilco, Sigur Rós & Conor Oberst... But I cant decide whether Im willing to part with that much money for another festival where Ill probably end up dissapointed.
Last year it was Bright Eyes at Oxegen and Modest Mouse in EP, in both cases I could barely get into their tents coz they were so rammed.
