Hozier

Alan O Regan writes:

Anyone get presale tickets for Hozier this morning? They were gone at 9am (the time when they were supposed to go on sale).

Remember when you could buy tickets to gigs you wanted to go to? You could even pick where you wanted to sit.

I will happily fight anyone on the street who says that these tickets aren’t being bulk bought somehow.

Anyone?/FIGHT!

Camping at the All Together Now Festival, Curraghmore Estate, County Waterford this weekend

Janine writes:

So we are going to the All Together Now festival in Waterford this weekend in a camper van. I heard today that we are not allowed use the gas cooker or fridge because according to the moderator on the facebook page:

“No gas cylinders are allowed on site . Any gas will be confiscated on entry” and that we will have to disconnect and remove cylinders before arrival at the festival …

This kind of defeats the purpose having paid an extra €60 for a camper van ticket.

Seeing as all campervans fridges and stoves run off gas I am wondering how they are planning on enforcing this – practically every camper will have a cylinder, It seems a bit ridiculous to me.

Has anyone ever heard of this at any other festival?

Anyone?

Can you confirm?

As your website attracts some of the biggest male members around, could they confirm or deny if the phenomenon known as the ‘Summer penis‘. is a real thing or just another flaccid male lie. Asking for a friend.

Further to England’s World Cup advancement…

Having had a miniature St George flag ripped off my car during the last World Cup I am preparing to openly support England again and intend wearing my [Three Lions] replica shirt this weekend in Dublin. Is this a wise move or still too soon? Perhaps your readers could help?

Anyone?
