I might take a light blanket? Instead of a heavy sleeping bag.. Keeps the luggage weight down too

My air conditioned apartment should be just right!

Hope my air con works! Lowest across the fest is meant to be 80 Fahrenheit (aka 28 degrees..)

[Placid Casual 1927]

Looks hot in the day and early evening and cool through the night. Great conditions

We're staying a bit further out but looking forward to lazy days and crazy nights

[Richi1988]

anyone ever stopped in one of the bungalows at lisboa camping before an know what they're like?

Anyone planning on visiting the beaches? Estoril & cascais are both good beaches not the nicest in the world but last time I went optimus they were full of people visiting the festival and having a good time, bag full of beers and your well away.

All packed & off in the morning! Have a good one everyone.

[Placid Casual 1927]

I'm going to estoril for 2 days after the festival. Might go up 1 day during if I have time! Can see me sleeping most of morning/afternoon though!

Just checked the bbc weather they have it as 34 degrees!! Wednesday Thursday & 32 Friday.

Pack the factor 50!

Quick question about wristband exchange, when's the best time to do it? I might pop up Wednesday if it's open.

It is mandatory to trade your 3 day ticket for a wristband that allows you to enter and exit the festival at any time.

This trade has to be made on the first day of the festival at one of the many exchange points inside thee festival site.

Thanks! I did look on the offfish site but couldn't see anything.

Last year there was a place to exchange in the airport too, so if you're arriving in the next couple days maybe have a look in the airport.

Ta for the info that'll be handy

[Dom Wall]

Think it closed at 11pm mind, I remember as I arrived at about 11.05 and just missed it!

2013 isn't too shabby..note there's been a 'heritage' act every year (heritage/legend/old bugger band) but not one announced yet this year..

Depeche Mode and Vampire Weekend were great last year. Green Day were a bit hit and miss though. Anyway enjoyed the festival and it was nice to get time to look around Lisbon as well. So if you are going this year hope you have as much fun as I did :-)

[Placid Casual 1927]

That's me off this morning! Have a wicked time everyone. Stay classy

[Dom Wall]

Just about to set off for the train up to Lisbon. Let's rock it.

[Placid Casual 1927]

Is anyone else fucked? I'm fucked

[Dom Wall]

I'm knacked! Two heavy days already, and another tonight..

[willjill]

It sure takes a lot out of you but.....

.....Up the Bracket!

[ljb1995]

had a great time and certainly got my moneys worth out of the ticket, I was surprised how poor the crowd reacted to bands though.. Arctic Monkeys atmosphere was really poor!

[Placid Casual 1927]

How incredible were the libertines? Was a way smaller crowd than most other main stage bands but that meant I got really close to the stage! 24 songs in 90 mins was amazing
