Heard this a while ago!
Ah man! Grizzly Bear!
I'm already seeing Villagers with Wild Beasts but I think they're great.
Don't know much about Camera Obscura and nothing about Midlake but it looks like a solid gig.

That's a majorly impressive line up. Road trip is definitely on the cards.

Snazzy, check out Midlake's album The Trials Of Van Occupanther. Fantastic stuff altogether. New album The Courage Of Others is great also.

Grizzly Bear have the best support acts. St Vincent in October and now Camera Obscura, its just incredible. Can't wait for this. Roadtrip definitely called for.

Does anyone know whereabouts the marquee (in cork!) is? I want to book some accommodation close to it - thanks

I completely agree. Annie Clark was great last year - I'd got my ticket when it initially went on sale, so when she was added later it was a major bonus - and now Camera Obscura's effortlessly likeable retro pop.

its kind of industrial down around there. not sure of too many hotels nearby but there is surely a few b&bs in the blackrock area. its only 15 mins walk/short taxi to town. Depending what type of place you want to stay in there is a relatively cheap Jurys Inn that is central and all other types all around with Jurys Hotel very nice. Posher places then include The Kingsley and Halyfield Manor. Cork is small enough and compact with everything within walking distance! Check the cork forum for more info on hotels.

tip, if you buy tickets in Pro Musica in Cork no booking few of 4.40 per ticket if you go through usual outlets!

Can't wait for this on Friday. Could well be the gig of the year.

Just wondering - does anyone have any idea of doors / stage times. Want to make sure I'm there early enough to miss nothing and with 4 bands playing I'm interested in knowing what time it's kicking off and how long each band will get.

Not 100% sure about this gig but I went to JLS [won free tickets, don't fault me :P] and it said on the tickets to show would start at 8, we got there about 6 so got pit passes [yes there is a pit ] and we were left inside about 6:45, then general admission were left in around 7:15, a DJ was supposed to come on at 7:30 but he came on at 8 and played until 8:30, then JLS came on at 8:45 and finished up at 10:25 because the Marquee has a curfew this year supposedly where they're not allowed to finish up after 10! So I'm guessing the bands will be allowed to play onto 10:30-ish. Ring Aiken Promotions to find out the exact times though, and I'm sure they'll tell you.

Thanks for that. Interesting that there was a pit at JLS yet I was at Megadeth last week and there was no pit. Seems to be a bit arse about face if you ask me

I'm guessing its because JLS was sold out for both nights, so they probably had to limit the amount of people!

Hi,

Anyone any idea what time this will finish at?

Also, any pub recommendations for a few scoops afterwards

Finishes at 12 according to the Aiken website.. Set times are up there too..

There's a gig on in Cyprus Avenue that's free to anyone with a ticket stub from Harmonic.. But I think that may actually have been starting a bit earlier than 12..

Thanks for that. Heading down to Cork at 12 so plenty of time for a couple of pints in town and on to the Marquee for 6.

This was my most anticipated gig of the year and I don't think it's going to let me down.

That is a really amazing line-up. Very jealous of anyone heading down there. Enjoy it!

I always find it hard to describe music but they would be all guitar, drums, keys bands, good vocals and sign along to.... Not hard rock or jumping round but the crowd should be well up for it so should be a good atmosphere... The 4 bands would be all in the same broad genre so if you like one you will like them all. This is my favourite Grizzly Bear song, the Veckatimest album is all quality... and some more... well worth the 35 euro... buy your ticket in pro musica on oliver plunket street and save on booking fees....

Fantastic gig last night. I thought Midlake were superb and wasn't sure if Grizzly Bear were going to match it but then they came on and absolutely ripped the place apart.

Kudos also to O Emperor who put on a great show in Cyprus Avenue afterwards.

Great, great gig. Midlake were the band that I was least familiar with but they were fantastic. I'm a big fan of the other 3 bands and they were really great to but Midlake took the biscuit but only just.

And a big shout out to the Angel at the front barrier who provided amazing eye candy for the evening
