Wear your woolies. Going to be chilly.
And don’t use portable BBQs to warm your tent at night. Really do not do that.

You’ll have to dig her up first.
She’s always playing hard to get.
actin the maggot
LOL
Over 50,000 people and theyre now playing the GAA games.
Calvin Harris next year!
Is there no end to the refugee crisis.
I always like the post EP photos better – like a scene from the zombie apocalypse
I hope everyone has a fantastic time – and also that they consider donating their tents/sleeping bags etc to the Calais refugee appeal who will be collecting at the end of the festival.
aren’t you a saintly model of citizenry. what should the revellers do instead, oh wise one?
Now Starina looks like a crazy person. Maybe she is, but now she looks like one, too.
Cool, Ive a big ‘un, 15 man, 3 roomed with a big dome centre… probably last year it’ll see use what with them all dropping like flies due to those carpet crawley things, babies, yeah them things :)
I’ll keep an eye for “em!
Serious tentage there, Clamps. May your domes always be filled.
So camp
They would LOVE you for that. Have a good one!
Radical
Standing in a field with thousands of other drunk unwashed people listening to music you’ve never heard before and pretending to enjoy yourself because you paid hundreds of euro for the weekend. No thanks!
+1 – never again
Iv went to we’ll over 50 different music festivals in my time and you’ve Described none of them. Apart from the drunk standing in the field part.
Are deliberately writing like an idiot?
Are?
Shiver me timbers?
Ha. Yeah, defo.
All the young ones in work were going on about it, and I was thinking this is my idea of hell.
NOTE: ‘Hard core revelling’ photographs are usually staged to look like everyone is, well, revelling hard-core.
Have fun folks.I will be happily watching from the comfort of my sofa with a fridge and a warm bed.
Why don’t they show the reality of revelling? People chewing the jaws off themselves bathed in sweat.
Not one post moaning about the middle class enjoying themselves too much or how uncool EP is?
Is everyone on here gone home early or GONE TO EP?????
We’re heading down to it. We’re all meeting up in the Broadsheet Bitching Boutique. There will be limericks, cartoons and controversial social issues in the company of terribly straight-laced 20 somethings, gagging-to-be-married early 30s ladies and newly married Fionn and Dervela’s trying to prove to themselves that they’ve still got it.
Can’t we make this more about me? I’m not there and I’m pretty sick about it for once. So let’s maybe switch tack on this one.
It is an over 18 event right? A lot of baby faces in there … not my style. So long EP!
Jaysus not a flaggon of Linden in sight – are you sure this is a festival?
Mmm. Linden. Makes you (well, me) wee like a racehorse.
they all look miserable, nobody smiling.
I’m out.

Why are we putting these refugees in camps like this … its disgraceful…. Oh wait….
Sigh, la jeunesse doree…eats madeleine, sobs softly.
the sound of cherries popping heralds the autumn
I was just thinking that those Syrians were getting better looking…,.
“Roysh Rosheen got the old Hunter on.” PFO.
Honestly EP has to be Middle Class Ireland’s ground zero of geebaggery and narcissistic wankfestery.
#dickh3ads
Cue “Monday’s Papers” Irish Times front page picture of abandoned tents on Monday alongside Syrian refugees in Hungary. Nah.
Just back , couldn’t stay a third night coz of work. Haven’t been in years but had a great weekend. Wars on drugs and blur were great. As was nightly rave in the woods.
But I felt very old at it. Don’t think I’ve ever seen so much ill fitting hot pants.
Steve, why where you on BS while at a festival?!
He’s just back!?!
He couldn’t stay a tird night coz of work?!?
He had been in years but he had a great weekend.. etc etc?!!
