AWFUL!!!
My God - I think I will spend the money I don't have on some other festival.

There isn't 1 person I want to see on that line up

Typical Irish begrudgery etc etc

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Very average line-up. That's just a fact.

The promoter there gave it away himself when he said (paraphrased) "Of course, the EP is about a lot more than the music"
Classic misdirection.

Good luck getting €240 off people for a middling line-up and a reiki tent.

 

[Gambra]

When it changed the title of it to "Music and Arts Fest" that was it. I would much rather my €250 be spent on a rake of decent bands than comedy/spoken word things, the body & soul stuff & all the Arts things (even Lost Vagueness aren't making it this year)

Except for 2manydjs of course.

2manydjs for too many euros.

i think if this festival was the size of say, ATP in the uk, itd be a fine weekend. its just too small a bill to maintain the type of festival it has been for the last few years. the price is also a big factor here. i can go to ATP at xmas for 130 sterling early bird for 3 days and that includes accommodation in an apartment.



i guess im not gonna complain though. at least its happening. itd be very, very sad if it wasnt. positivity folks!

All this criticism is fine, but in the end: the market decides. This will sell out but probably not as fast as previous years.

 

[Unicron]

Is that Chris Cunningham the director??

A 55 minute performance, combining original and remixed music and film.

[das funkinstein]

here's my tips...
* Chic --> awesome live
* Moderat --> could be sweet
* Noze --> also good live

 

[quaidox]

sure am glad i am going to rebellion in blackpool this year instead of ep.....

 

[Stan Bowles]

I'd love to see Magazine, but not enough to pay 250 quid.

 

[I Bleed Black]

I shocked they've managed to put together a line up worse than last years

 

[broken arm]

i'm probably going to get my indie festival fix at Greenman - if i'm not away somewhere nice.

it's 120 quid and set in the brecon beacons national park.

you can also pay 30 quid for a "holiday" ticket that allows you to go to the Glenusk Estate from 3 days before the festival for a spot of chilling, hill walking, rock climbing, fishing, swimming, acid orgies, whatever

green man is a lovely lovely festival .

 

[Cryptid]

I have to say, there's several bands on that lineup I would really like to see/have seen before and enjoyed: Orbital, Flaming Lips, Basement Jaxx, Fleet Foxes, Explosions In The Sky, Magnolia Electric Co., The Whitest Boy Alive, The Walkmen.

Also, there'll hopefully be a few more big names. The price differences between here and the uk is shite. I'm tempted, but if Magnolia Electric Co. and The Whitest Boy Alive do other gigs in Ireland I def won't bother.

 

[daydream_nation]

Chic are about the best thing on that line-up

absolutely. would love to see them. just not in a field in laois, fuck that.

 

[rettucs]

* Magnolia Electric Company

will be worth the 200 quid on their own

meh to everything else. Some good acts but anyone there I'd consider good I've already seen before.

what happened Kraftwerk?
