I agree - theres nothing too interesting bigger name wise and its mostly just repeats. Its solid though - but tbh never really go to shangri la its a human cattle pen at the best of times
IICON again perhaps
they're irish
also they did ally pally last time (like november 2022)
they have a pretty big R&L slot this year - any old act can do academies nowadays, they are a step above your circa waves etc
Usually in the Electronica & Dance thread someone makes a spreadsheet that says what genre each artist is, provides a link to a good example of one of their dj sets and says whether they are any good etc 🙂
Clearly these companies pay loads per ticket over face value - yet most aren't even getting a retail opportunity at the festival
while its a shame to see tickets out the pool - for now, they are just subsidising the rest of us
I really don't think his fanbase attend R&L - would get absolutely clowned upon in the comments etc.
Far more likely to do an APE day or play say IOW / Latitude I think. He has no precedent for playing fests like R&L (except in ireland)
