    Why is this?

    Last year, that venue is female only I think.

     

    However, this year it has been opened up to everyone.

    They’ve been playing a good mix across the albums in recent sets, so I’d expect it to be a cracker! 

     

    If they bring Dublin City Sky back into their setlists I'd have a tough decision to make between them & Dua

    There was someone else with some random "Coldplay have dropped out" info over the weekend as well though... You never know the holy sources might not be up to date...

    Yeah, there has been a couple of whispers about it recently so you never know, but I'd be very surprised if it is to do with a gender balance...

    Hmmm.... so pushing for all female headliners then?

    That would make no sense as they tried to Stevie W who has recently fallen through.

    When he fell through, they weren't simply going to change for hoping for all female headliners.

    Fine not to have heard of her. More about whether that provokes a positive, neutral or negative reaction.  And its the latter that can get in the bin.

    Exactly this. If you are out of touch with modern music and haven't heard of SZA, then that's fine.

    But to say she shouldn't be headlining the festival (especially given the issues with Madonna/Stevie W), is just moaning for the sake of it.

    I would say that based on past form.

    He definitely can get things right. But is probably wrong more often than right.

    In this case, his info is just from someone else on the other place.

    The original info on the other place was that 'something' would be coming today, but no mention of it being the poster.

    Just need someone with too much time on their hands to check to see if all the artists listed are actually available. I checked Sofia Kourtesis and she is in Belgium on the Friday so this checks out. 

    I've added a WH sheet to this doc: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1N2EPQ-7KEUtjwdkQnM84xnWgOglzs6NSbxWH3z_tiik/edit?usp=sharing

    Sofia Kourtesis is actually playing the Saturday at that Belgium festival (I had originally thought Friday too until it was pointed out to me)

  8. Not too much for me at the minute this year.

    Upcoming:

    • Muireann Bradley
    • Glastonbury
    • The Last Dinner Party

    I had tickets for Taylor Swift in Dublin but I had to sell them when I secured Glastonbury tickets.

    Also got tickets to see Wicked when it tours in Dublin this summer.

  9. Somewhat realistic:

    Pulp
    Killers (although it would likely be a secret set, so not on the poster)
    Avril Lavigne
    Doja Cat
    Holly Humberstone
    Olivia Dean
    Patti Smith
    LCD Soundsystem
    Justice
    Bloc Party

    Less realistic:

    Stevie Nicks (don't trust the info based on the source of it - a FB message or something like that)
    Billy Joel
    Vampire Weekend (less realistic due to the exclusivity tag)

    Unrealistic:

    Olivia Rodrigo
    Green Day (again, if anything it would be a secret set - but it won't be happening)
    Father John Misty
    The Mountain Goats

    Interesting poster, if only for the fact that the one band I have been told will probably play the Park stage, and who I haven’t seen mentioned here at all, are on it. (Dexys).

    How confident are you in the information? I would have assumed they would play The Pyramid (early on).

    Do you know which day they are supposedly playing?

    Just been having this conversation this morning as honestly I am utterly confused by it. I have seen them live and can confirm they are able to sing and play their instruments so they're not a Milli Vanilli style plant. Beyond that does it matter that they are lucky enough to have a record label believing in them and pushing them. I wish it was happening for a lot more acts but if you are the act lucky enough for it to be happening for you, you're hardly going to say no thanks I'd rather it be much harder for me.

    I think it has become the new 'thing' to find them dull/overrated. They seem to get a lot of hipster/bandwagon hate online/OOF.

    Fair enough, they mightn't be everyone's cup of tea, but the dislike of them from some people feels forced.

    I’d love to know what’s behind their thinking as to when they make any announcements. So, there’s no pattern but there must be some planning, or do they just sit at the breakfast table one day and say let’s do it!? Some announcements are driven by other considerations (tour announcements etc) but much is within their control. I presume they deliberately build anticipation. 

    I think tour announcements is the big one.

    I can't see us getting anything until Dua Lipa & Stevie Wonder's other dates are on sale.

    Justice not doing Sat Holts (unsure if on the farm at all)

    Apparently Jungle aren't doing Saturday West Holts headline either so I'm not sure who your info is for

    Hey @northernringo we are going to take your good advice and pack the same way as you on our flight. Going to check in 1 x 23kg hold bag and 1 x 15kg hold bag between us. Was just wondering what trolley you use, one of the square black ones with wheels or the more upright types? 

    Think we will then get the coach from airport down and back. It will then just be wondering what coach to book on the Monday morning for our flight and how much extra time we need to account for traffic etc, our flight back is at 1pm, any guidance from anyone would be appreciated 👍😊

    We use a sack truck style (i.e., the more upright ones). When it comes to wrapping it, we have it packed as if we were pushing the trolley (the two tents stacked on top of each other).

    Just make sure you bring extra cling roll with you so that you can wrap it up again for the flight home!
