I always found it a chore to get back out of there from any of the marlay gigs though, regardless

Getting there should be easier at least, considering that it's a day long thing, so people will be arriving at different times. Similar to how much easier it is/was to get to Oxegen than it is for a one off show in Punchestown.

Good tbh, out before last bus home, lots of things will be happening in town (dj sets from artists etc) then back again in the morning.

Will keep ticket costs down too.

It be lovely if this was a non generic festival with an original line-up that took a few risks. Of course it won't be because of it's ties to Latitude, it will more than likely be full of them hipster type, adored by Pitchfork bands.

Open to debate

According to an article in the Times there will be no camping

With Lattitude not being announced until March.. would they be the same lineups?

Id say we might get a few different acts because we wont have to worry with things like UK or England exclusives

Just Like Heaven · 23-02-2013 12:14am

I'd say we'll have bigger bands as well. No way would some of the previous Latitude line ups be able to play Marley Park.

That's what I was thinking aswell. The acts at Longitude last year would hardly have sold out the tent that was at Marlay park for recent years.

Yea id say they are just using the similar name because Latitude is an already established name etc

Ahh sure yabno I probably will. Wiuld love to especially after Werchter and Bruce.. would top off July lovely. I'd just love to have a more mixed lineup.. leave oxegen for the dance/pop ****e and have this as an eclectic fest with rock.

Doesn't there usually be a few leaks of some bands playing before the official announcement of a festival? hard to imagine what kind of a line-up this will be

ricero · 25-02-2013 4:39pm

hope we get some kasabian, arctic monkeys, beady eye, jake bugg and tame impala

Only leak so far that i've seen is MMOTHS. I'd imagine the lineup will be on par with the likes of Forbidden Fruit / Body & Soul

Would that sell well if it was just like FF for example , i know MCD would be able to get bigger acts but what sized acts that would suit FF (if they had the budget) would be able to sell a massive chunk of the 30,000 or so capacity of Marlay Park

Not sure KAsabian are touring this summer , AM and Bugg very possible , Tame Impala are doing their own gig in August and imo Beady Eye can f**k right off

:D:D (Just my opinion)

Just Like Heaven · 25-02-2013 8:23pm

Yeah Beady Eye were so snoozy at Oxegen.

There's a band called Tame Impala. The others ricero named are bad enough without adding Tinie Tempah to the mix

Well it depends on the setup the use, I don't think they'll just have 1 stage and try and flog 30,000 tickets, i'd say it's gonna be 2 or 3 stages and i'd be surprised if they use the whole 30,000 capacity. Wednesday will tell all!

Ah yea id say they will have at least 2 stages. Would be cool if they did what they do a some european festivals(eg Pinkpop) with not having the main stage clash with the 2nd . Would be great to have a small stage like the BBC introducing they have at UK festivals but with all irish acts. Ah yea looking forward to wed but not getting my hopes up just incase i dont approve of the line uo:p

Only remembering this now but Lovebox was held in Marlay Park a few years back. I was supposed to go to it but plans fell through.

Lovebox was a day festival with multiple stages and no camping. Also it was based on a successful UK festival and according to wikipedia it was promoted by MCD. So it looks like Longitude is really just a rehash of an old MCD idea!

That being said I do hope Longitude is a success.

Does anyone have any memories of Lovebox and how Marlay Park faired as a festival style venue?

I was there, forgot about that one. It faired grand, from what I recall there was a main stage and a smaller one in a tent. I would wager this will be something similar.

I noticed The Knife stick out of that Melt line-up and nothing else mattered
