They did, but it only lasted a couple of years.

Was that the bus thing?

Tube train one year, then one year it was an actual indoor stage.  Was called SCUM I think.

Earache express I think

I meant the year it was an actual indoor stage.

Quite disappointing really. I usually like to see some Irish music on there and of course, the Waterboys. It’s been so much better previously.

Yeah. Tbh for me this seems much weaker than the past few years but I'm not too fussed given how strong the lineup elsewhere is shaping up to be.

Do people think there’s a chance the special guests of the Bob Dylan celebration will be some of the cast of the recent film - Timothee Chalamet etc?

Pretty much nailed on I reckon

would rather just have Monica Barbaro do some songs and even Baez if it was possible.

[CaledonianGonzo]

You like Timothee Chalamet?  Well in that case I hope you also like Billy Bragg, John Otway and the bass player from the Magic Numbers.

What a glorious lineup.

You could just sit there the whole weekend couldn't you.

No.

Looks pretty weak I have to say. Only thing that would tempt me are the Bootlegs, who I saw in there last time around, but are always good value.

As “old duffery” as ever.

 

Surely the most pointless stage of the lot 

Surely the most pointless comment of the thread. You know more than most how much variety there is, so why waste your time posting banality like that?

Last year we watched LCD Soundsystem, sprinted to Acoustic to watch 20 mins of the Faux Fabs and then reversed trajectory to El Pointo for Dua.  Worked well.

Dunno if its the strongest set of names they've ever had on there.

I'd say it certainly isn't.

[angelin]

I might watch A complete unknown tonight. I hope we haven’t started a rumour on here as the area will be completely gridlocked if see Timothee shows his face

Oisin Leech. Awarded Irish album of the year. He has a great, clear voice, admittedly not music you’re going to dance to!

Hmmm. If I could catch moat of Bootlegs set then make it for all of Maccabees on Park (and get a good spot) I'll be very, very happy. Quite a distance between those two stages, though.

 

Then a quick walk down to Other to catch the end of Prodigy... oh yes. Excitement level increase.

You've been enough times to know that its a bad plan regardless of who's announced

yeah max 4 acts per day as a firm plan with gaps between is ideal definately no stage dashing for me 🙂

Still a decent amount (albeit a lot less than previous years). The Hothouse Flowers, The Coronas, Lorraine Nash, Oisin Leech, The Riptide Movement, The Henry Girls…
