Loopallu 2010

[tweemo freak]

Surprised that there's no thread 4 Loopallu 2010 yet. Let's get some band suggestions started.

How about,

Grousebeater Soundsystem (There bound to come back!)

Mumford And Sons

The Levellers

Aberfeldy

Blue Roses

Add your ideas!

deffo going this year

my mates have been talking to Unicorn Kid and they are trying to get on the bill

[slamb]

I got all carried away and bought a ticket after stumbling upon the website. They had a list of bands that I assumed was the line up.....but didn't read it properly. "Have played Loopallu". So now I have a Loopallu ticket and chances of Frightened Rabbit turning up are slim!

[herindoors]

I wonder if we'll get an announcement soon... just spotted this on the BBC website:

The Loopallu festival returns for its sixth outing this September, and we’re very pleased to start unveiling the line up.

Loopallu has consistently managed to deliver acts and line ups well beyond its tiny 2500 capacity and this year will be no exception, indeed we think it’s by far and away the strongest line up yet.

With headliners still to be announced, we’re pleased in the meantime to unveil a long overdue visit from Scottish indie heroes, Idlewild.

Joining them and making their first ever festival appearance in the Highlands is Turin Brakes who are back on top form following the release of their 2010 critically acclaimed album ‘Outbursts’.

Also confirmed are BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards ‘Best Live Act’ (2010) nominee The Bad Shepherds featuring comedian Adrian Edmondson, best known for playing Vyvyan in The Young Ones and also Eddie in Bottom.

Local favourites and guaranteed to get the party started, The Vatersay Boys make a welcome and much requested return.

Finally, bringing a touch of electronic/pop/folk are Silver Columns the new project of Johnny Lynch, better know as Pictish Trail and keyboard player in the Fence Collective.

Ticket prices have been held at last years prices, with Weekend tickets at £55 and Weekend and Camping at £70. Weekend & Camping ticket holders wishing to bring campervans and caravans which will be charged £25 per vehicle. As, since the beginning, tickets for children 12 & under will be free (though need to be accompanied by an adult).

See you all in September!!!

[herindoors]

Fantastic!! We were going to be giving Bella a shot this year, but I think we may be heading North-West instead. Can't wait to hear more...

[ampersand]

idlewild + loopallu = bad idea for me i think. will pass this year, just make do with bella

[bryanb]

We’re really chuffed to announce our second batch of acts.

First up we can confirm one of the most eagerly anticipated new acts in the UK (having only played 2 London shows to date), Mt Desolation will be joining us on the Saturday in Big Top. Not only is this Alt-County group fronted by Tim Rice-Oxley and Jesse Quin (who are better known in their roles with Keane), their debut album due for release later this year also features performances from members of The Killers, Mumford & Sons, Noah And The Whale, The Long Winters and Pete Roe.

Also added to the bill are the wonderful Aberfeldy who are set to release their third album ‘Somewhere to Jump From’ on August 23rd and rising traditional music stars Skerryvore

[herindoors]

Impressed... again

Can't wait to hear the headliners!

[Guy Rope Tripper]

My wee brother mentioned this one to me when Idlewild were announced, starting to look like a decent prospect, don't know if I fancy the weather to be great up north in September mind you

[norainplease]

Yeah just a bit chilly at night last year but then it was blowing an absolute gale right enough!! Hoping to make the trip up again this year! Can't wait to find out who's headlining! Any ideas when the headliner's are going to be announced?

[Pengers]

Travis?

[theampersanddevil]

[herindoors]

I'm really looking forward to hearing who the headliners are, the line up is already better than other festivals of the same (or larger) scale IMO. Mind you, if it is Travis I'll be running screaming in the opposite direction...

[theampersanddevil]

Yeah that's what I thought to but then I noticed:

"With headliners still to be announced, we’re pleased in the meantime to unveil a long overdue visit from Scottish indie heroes, IDLEWILD.

[theampersanddevil]

Sorry, that reads like I went to the pub with the LS. Which would be much better than watching them.

[norainplease]

Yeah should have read it properly. On the bad side I hope Idlewild would headline so I could go to the pub like last year with the lightning seeds.

[Guy Rope Tripper]

anyone ever stayed at a hotel in the area for this festival?
