Scenes INSIDE the Electric Picnic camp site in Stradbally, Co Laois this afternoon.
God bless them all.

Update:
The officers’ mess.
Elegant mud coloured carpet in the area reserved for acts, press, and the suitably laminated this afternoon.

I’m always amazed at how badly some people prepare for a festival. Those plastic sheets arn’t worth a shit, get a half decent rain jacket for 20 quid and enjoy yourself.
also, hide hypodermic needles on you so the git of a security guard frisking you every time you want to see a band will leave you alone next time
Are the entire BS massif over the hill so?
Yeah I reckon average age 35….
Jaysus, ancient. It’s a wonder their not in a home
I’m under 35 but not arsed to wallow in a pile of mud in a damp field for a weekend listening to mediocrity.
Different strokes…
Some people don’t mind but bad weather would ruin it for me. Especially after crackin weather for Body n Soul this year. There’s no comparison. Looking at those pictures i’m glad i’m not there.
Grim. I’m off to Crotia for a week festival in the sun losers.
Damn you!!
Yer wan who’s too cool to wear a raincoat in photo 2 will get a terrible chill in her kidneys. Mark my words.
I like to guess where people are from and she’s either Wicklow or Wexford. With Tyrone a possibility I’m not ruling out.
That’s some accent she has.
i say split the difference, ♡ longford or cavan
She’d be better off with Bedquarious the Beared Bed Carrier in the last pic. He looks like he takes no sh*t.
by jove there was more cheer watching the schindler list than looking at this lot of unfortunates.
drinking warm beer in a muddy field in laois? as much as i really could murder a beer right now, i don’t think i’d go that far.
They sell cold beer. Like in pubs.
Looks pretty grim alright. I must admit I laugh at all these young people with their rolling suitcases schlepping across a field, how about a backpack?
‘Revellers’ not revelling.
A few yokes will give them some respite but the grimness will return with interest at 4am.
yeah, when the cold gets into the bones, the comedown is horrendous. and that’s with proper pills, god only knows what’s in the muck these lads will be necking this weekend..
It was cool in 2005 when I was there. But as soon as I had already been, it immediately stopped being cool.
Did you mean that to read the way it does? :-)
I’m off to rob things in Dublin 8.

Always makes me smile. And want to get madddouvit
Still wish I was there!
Forecast for rest of weekend is pretty good. Trick is to get your tent up early. Rain has stopped in Stradbally now, lashing in Dublin I hear.
it has lowest average rainfall in the nation
That looks like a shit buzz. Body & Soul had amazing weather this year, now I’ve been spoiled and can’t go to wet/muddy festivals again!
Of course the right drugs would change everything
Sure ye can watch it on Telly at home.

Booze and pills optional
Saw Shane McGowan earlier…he looked well…in that he was asleep…slumped in a chair…at half 3…
Siesta
Hell on Earth.
You’ve got to admire the determination to have a good f##king time….
