A new Irish festival created by promoters POD who also are behind Body&Soul, Forbidden Fruit and Electric Picnic up to about 2009 anyway.
-
Irish festival on the same weekend as Bestival.
-
I notice that Fever Ray is missing from this line up, will they be a later addition I wonder.
-
The first announcement for the Body&Soul festival, Solas to Latituder's, is Fever Ray headlining and curating the Body&Soul main stage on Friday night 22nd June.
-
Are you sure it isn't a Leftfield DJ set or the proper band live set up aka (Neil Barnes version) or is it a Paul Daley's Leftfield? Its just that recent festival announcements in Ireland for Leftfield states that its a DJ set which is quite different from the live band set up. I would be inclined to think it was the band if it had live in brackets next to the name.
-
Well incoming news is that Jimmy Cliff is playing both Bestival (Saturday 4th) and All Together Now Festival (Sunday 5th) in Waterford, Ireland (On the same weekend).
-
A new Irish festival has been launched by POD Promotions for 3rd - 5th August called All Together Now in Curraghmore House, Portlaw, Co Waterford, a line up hasn't been announced yet but I would imagine they might be trading bands and acts with Bestival, possibly.
-
I always thought Leftfield had similar sounding tracks to Massive Attack and Portishead too, although I think they are Sheffield rather than Bristol.

I like this one myself.

I saw the Floyd men three in Manchester in 1988, have never got to see Waters, so might get the family on the case to get a Waters ticket if he announces the UK, Scotland or Ireland.
-
I thought the Channel 4 TV coverage was crap this year, two 23 minute clips, one of Rag'N'Bone Man and one of the XX, two bands on the main stage, WTF!
-
Like some of these suggestions, I will add for electronica acts anyway, Aphex Twin, Jon Hopkins, Four Tet, The Prodigy. Rock: The Horslips, Stone Roses, Jesus & the Mary Chain, Slowdive, Little Dragon (although they would fit in the electronica section too).

Was at Electric Picnic in Ireland the same weekend so with 50,000 more folk ha ha, we got a lovely sunny Friday and a cyclone on Saturday from 6 PM onward but Sunday was all lovely again, your right about the nights though it was baltic on Friday night but Saturday and Sunday were warmer. Here's my review I hope you like it. https://niallmcquaid.wordpress.com/2017/09/08/electric-picnic-2017-festival-review/

So how did this go, any reports?

The Skatalites – King King Company - Rusangano Family - Mr Jukes
The Strypes – Keywest – Talos - Paul Kelly – Stephanie Rainey – The Riptide Movement
Otherkin – Kila – Soulé – Jafaris – Fangclub – Pale Rivers
Versatile – Le Boom – Wastefellow – Nobody’s Heroes
Search Party Animal - Kojaque – Touts – Dublin Gospel Choir
-
Well it looks like the last announcement will be Friday, Le Galaxie tweeted that they might be in the big announcement on Friday, it seems that the Picnic is one of the last festivals on the Efestivals forum to announce their acts for 2017. I heard that A Tribe Called Quest had cancelled one of their August festival shows due to grief about previous members who have passed on, lets hope they don't cancel the rest of the August and September shows.
-
So why isn't Aphex Twin playing this festival, is he not the type of fellah that should be playing it, I don't get it.
-
It was on the Friday at about 4 pm or thereabouts. There was a twitter link but it was removed.
-
Well it seems Longitude in Marlay Park, Dublin didn't fare as well, there was a stampede to get in and apparently someone broke their leg in the process. Incidentally check out the Solas area, its run by the Body&Soul festival people, Irish trippy forest fun.
-
