    Wear your woolies. Going to be chilly.

    And don’t use portable BBQs to warm your tent at night. Really do not do that.

    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.

    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!

      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.

      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.

    “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.

      1. Anne
