    Around how many go to body and soul. I was at the body and soul in electric picnic two years ago and loved it. I want to go to a festival again this year but the imminent invasion of the oxygen crowd into ep is unappealing. Just want to have a nice relaxed weekend with my mates.

  • Registered Users Posts: 23 anthcunn


    looking at bands playing in Europe over the summer i'm hoping Caribou, Beach House etc.

    anyone know the festivals Toro Y Moi and Delorean played last year as they may have lineups published that could include potential B&S acts

    Holy sh1t they're great additions.
    WTF are EP doing that they can't book these artists. Django Django are unreal, and spiritualized's new track is class too.

    I would nearly go just for M83, their only other Irish date is in Mandela Hall and thats a bit too far away for me.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,173 ✭✭✭Billy Mays


    Anyone know what day Spritualized are playing?


  • Registered Users Posts: 169 ✭✭sissorhands


    Are M83 really gonna play?

    Their tour states everything that they're going to play right up to October but no mention of Body and Soul.

    It's also suspicious that on the 22nd and 24th of June they are playing 2 festivals in Germany. They're hardly gonna come to Ireland on the 23rd?.... :(

    According to B&S they are.

    Its not unusual for bands on tour to do this! Plus they are electronic outfit so not that much heavy gear to lug about with them.

    m83 are one of my favourite bands but what are they doing playing this two bob festival in the arse hole of no where (no offence to anyone involved).

    what day are they playing at this festival?

    what a ridiculous post.

    B&S is one of the best irish festivals out there. I'm guessing you've not been to it?

    Body & Soul is a great festival and M83 will work amazingly in this setting. Annoyed I'm not living in Ireland this summer to go again. Nicolas Jaar last year was the perfect finish to the festival, outstanding set!

    i disagree, it's odd for anyone other than maybe DJs to do that. bands will generally plan tours in some sort of pattern across Europe, or at least not jump half way across Europe for a single gig then return to the same country.
    and i watched M83's gig at Coachella, and they have just as much gear onstage as a 'regular' band, so presumably all this has to be transported and flown over from Germany to B&S, then back to Germany the next day....

    Don't think so. They probably have just as much gear to bring. Guitars, bass's, keyboard, synths, electric and acoustic drums, laptops etc.

    Back to the issue...

    What is the story with them playing? When you look at lineup, it seems like there are too many headlining acts for two days... i.e. Vilagers, Spiritualized and M83...


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,425 ✭✭✭indiewindy


    B & S is a highly regarded festival, those doubting m83 actually turning up might be advised to do their research more thoroughly as they will find that M83 are actually playing two shows in Ireland that week, b and s and another one that can be found on ticketmaster

    Are people seriously complaining about there being too many headliners now?! I think I've heard it all!!!

    what is that going to prove? :confused:
    at best it means that they've got the wrong dates on their site for Germany, and for whatever reason have left B&S off the list, and so are actually playing in Germany on the Friday and Saturday, then coming over here on the Sunday, then up to Belfast for the Tuesday.

    Mate you want to do your research too. They're playing Germany on that Friday, and Sunday of Body and Soul.

    I'm not complaining, but it seems like it's for a 3 day fest, when it's 2. With M83 playing the germany dates, it may seem easy to jump one of the headliner acts...

    According to m83's own website they are playing Germany on Sunday June 24, so you expect them to play two gigs the same day. I wouldnt be surprised to see changes in their tour schedule as it doesnt make sense as its currently arranged.
    If they were to offload a headliner, they would be facing refund claims from m83 fans
    hopefully they play Dublin on the Monday!!

    Two things

    1.
    VOLUNTEERS Get your application in ASAP if you want to join the Body&Soul crew. Places are filling up quickly! http://bit.ly/HAMEnn RT Pls

    2. Pitchfork put up M83's tour dates and i noticed B&S wasn't on the list, they just lifted it from the website, so i tweeted them saying they were missing B&S. The B&S twitter account retweeted my message to them. Not resounding proof but it would have been easy to ignore my message.
