UEF Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Anyone else going? Got the full weekend here (Friday, Saturday, Sunday). Only 2 acts confirmed so far - Olly Murs and Two Door Cinema Club. Some updates there would be good :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonTom Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 They should just do it in Hackney every year! Have to cross the sea this year for it, let alone go north! If I remember rightly they seemed to have more acts confirmed earlier last year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UEF Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) Yeah was fun havig it in Hackney last year. Very weird "commuting" on the tube to a festival each day! Some bloody good turns for £5! Shame this one is gonna cost me more than Glasto to attend. Still I've always wanted a reason to visit NI, so this would seem to be it and I'll get a little culture in too.

lulucrawford Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 So does anyone know who's rumoured to play??? The suspense is killing me!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UEF Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Keep an eye on http://www.efestivals.co.uk/festivals/radioone/2013/lineup.shtml I have faith they'll deliver 1 or 2 good turns at least. Foos, Gaga, Jay-Z, Rihanna etc. have all played in recent years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lulucrawford Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Yeah but ofcourse big names will always travel to England! But are any big names willing to come to Northen Ireland?! I really hope so!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOALS287 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 I'd say all the smaller and newer bands/acts that get a fair amount of R1 airplay will likely play e.g haim, peace, the 1975, iggy azelea (however u spell it) As far as headliners go pretty hard to guess, Taylor Swift/Lady Gaga, then maybe a more alternative rapper or band....?

lulucrawford Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 I live in Northern Ireland and my friend was lucky enough to get us tickets so we r majorly excited to hear who's gonna be there! Normally Northern Ireland don't get big names but I suppose since MTV Europe music awards came, big names aren't as picky bout comin here!!! PLEASE Let there be as many big names as hackney!!!! Pleeeeaaaasee!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UEF Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) Big bands are always happy to take the BBC pound. Hope there's an announcement soon Edited May 1, 2013 by UEF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart1000 Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 (edited) Can't see Beyonce playing. She's not performing that day but it would mean her, her band, her crew and her equipment flying over from Poland for one gig and then back to Denmark for the following day. Would mean she'd be performing for eight days continuously without a break. Could maybe see Alicia Keys play the Sunday? She's touring in the UK anyway and has a show on the Saturday and then a few days off so that could be possible. The Vaccines are playing a festival in Newcastle on the Sunday so they could be possibilities for the Saturday? (given that the Friday is all 1Xtra RnB music I gather?) Paloma Faith is doing the same festival in Newcastle so she could be a possibility too. Macklemore and Ryan Lewis are doing a show in London on the Monday so I'd expect to see them play. A$AP Rocky is on tour in the UK at the time so it wouldn't surprise me if he was announced. Edited May 2, 2013 by Stuart1000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lulucrawford Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 If that was the most exciting acts there's gonna be I would be pretty disappointed.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom Wall Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 could see Timberlake headlining, Mirrors seems to be getting a lot of airplay at the moment... just gotta be looking at acts that are getting a lot of airplay at the moment really.. Disclosure, Sander Van Doorn (Grimmy plays his song a lot..), Calvin Harris etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel.k Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Beyonce is European Exclusive to V fest so I doubt she would be at this while she is on tour as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gucci Piggy Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Hackney Weekend also had Kasabian last year who were festival exclusives to R&L, so it means nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonTom Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) It's never been considered a festival by promoters of other festivals. You can't exactly buy tickets and most tickets go to locals Although for intents and purposes it is a festival Edited May 3, 2013 by LondonTom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart1000 Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Another reason I don't think the exclusivity matters is that it's not as if it will affect ticket sales. Up until last year, tickets were done by ballot. The festival will 'sell out' as such regardless of who is playing. As was seen this year when tickets went on sale before the line-up was even announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
