Is sticking a comedy tent into a music festival a uniquely Irish thing? I've never seen it elsewhere.

Scrap the comedy tent & put in better jacks I say.

Fuck the jacks get a working bar with decent beer.

I'd love to go to a festival this weekend. Why the hell does the lineup for this have to be so shit though?

It's rather poor isn't it?. Pity

Spent a few hours at this yesterday. I had a fantastic time, wandering about, meeting people, sitting in the sun, watching bands I don't know, watching interviews with people I don't know and eating cakes. Would LOVE to be going back today but it isn't to be.

According the people they were giving out free day tickets to this all over the place

early bird tickets were still available 2 weeks beforehand so it much have been a financial disaster for the organisers.
U.K festivals have comedy tents, but at European festivals I dont think any do.

 

[rettucs]

well thats kind of not surprising. Even if the lineup was your bag its the same bands over and over that get rolled out for these. Maybe if the tickets were about 20% cheaper people would go, but theres lots of festivals on so folks will be inclined to save their money for those.

would like to have gone just to see Warpaint (first Dublin show of theirs I've missed) but I saw their primavera set on the live feed on thursday and it was fairly terrible

I don't like them all that much, but I was there and I thought it was pretty good.

hmm, seemed a bit dead from what I could see and the crowd looked a little disinterested. The bowie cover was terrible too.

But I absolutely can see how a limited feed like that wouldn't give the full picture of what was going on.

From previous gigs I've seen them at I thought they were quite dull at EP last year but, that aside, they're normally fairly great.

Primavera moving their date from the U.K to Irish bank holiday weekend a few years ago has also taken away a lot of their target market. Fuck buttons, warpaint and Nils Frahms were all I would have been interested in at forbidden fruit.

I was there on Saturday, seen a bit of the Flaming Lips who were excellent but nothing else bar the two bands I was helping out. It's a nice festival but line up could be improved and be closer to my tastes but I'd hardly be the target audience.

I was there Sunday. Really enjoyed it. Public Enemy were deadly craic. Enjoyed warpaint too. Think the line up was better Saturday. Good atmosphere at it. Didn't see any hassle.

They had Becks. I like Becks
