    line-up looks sick!

    I think lektroluv is gonna be pretty good to be honest! Japenese popstars were really good last year but could be considered fairly commerical!

    delighted to see zefer are playing again this year :D

    He plays every year. He's one of the lads running it. Having one of the organisers on the bill isnt much to get excited about.

    Let's just hope there's a few more names added to the bill. A few big psytrance acts wouldnt go astray...

    Would have been a cheaper option to just not witness my set. I'm bringing the industrialised polka with a blues twist...you'll love it.

    Think if there was one festival I was doing this year, it'd be Life. But no, no festivals for me this summer, baby due to drop the following week from Life - so Kilmainham is out as well.

    Lineup looks ok to be honest - a good bit of diversity with some decent enough bookings.

    Suppose they think they have to a 'big name DJ' up the top, like Mills to sell tickets. Suppose that's why Digweed is there, but it's a little lazy - I mean how many tickets would Digweed sell to something like this now? Anyone at his gig in Tripod there a couple of month back - many at it?
    I'd wager for the same money, split it in two and get two acts who'll each sell more than what he'd sell. That's my tuppence worth anyway

    not a bad line up at all but the addition of letroluv will attract the scenesters in a big way..

    Ye, I was at the Digweed gig. Not a sellout by any means but a decent sized crowd. There was enough space to move around anyway.

    Not a great gig at all though. He was pretty meh tbh. Just plodded around for about 2 hours but then the last hour or so was very good.

    ah cool! didn't realise he was involved!

    the bito psytrance is always a nice addition, I spent a good few hours in the psy area last year!

    You should start listening to Neil Diamond or summat because dance music gets you fierce riled up.

    The organisers are doing everything in their power to bring the wrong crowd in.

    More plain clothes gards? How do you reckon that? Last year the gards were said to be very laid back, with only a sparse presence.

    this festy in particular is one big training and intelligence gathering opportunity,

    scumier crowds will equals more fish to shoot in the barrel so that's how i reckon the place will be crawling with undercovers

    I'd go to Life without even knowing the linup because the craic is so good down there. Last year was pretty much the most fun weekend I've ever had. Little worried about how it might turn into a scumfest though - 'Dickweed' definitely won't help matters. The smaller festivals are usually nacker free for the first few years but once word gets out that it's good, and you throw in a well known DJ, its bound to happen. I'll probably still go - lets just hope the drug supply is of suffient quality that the tracksuit bragade don't cause too much hassle

    give them all a fist of sleepers as they arrive, tuck them into their sleeping bags with a nice story then go party for the weekend. That's what we used to do back in the 1930s :p

    ah he smacks it out with the most ridiculous build ups and drops known to man ahaha.
    But nah in all seriousness was never into that whole filthy electro thing until i saw him,think hes a very good dj really gives it socks.



    And somebody said Scenester talking about people who would show up to see lektroluv.....what the ****s a scenster?hipster? Skinny jeans?in to dub step because its alternative kind of lads?having ridiculous haircuts?that sort?

    When i seen him in tripod didnt seem to be many of that sort around,well there was a few but not much more than you'd see at any other gig.

    Good enough line-up overall, IMO, but I think Life is gonna get too big and mainstream in the next year or two TBH

    When word gets around to enough piebalds that there's this festival where everyone gets madouhvit and listens to banging thump for three days straight, it'll be the end of Life as we know it.

    I still have obscenely high hopes for this year, though.

    Hoping for another big name to be announced coming up to the festival, a la Villalobos last year.

    Yeah, I really fear for this year tbh.

    I don't want to seem like a snob, but I've heard of so many people I know who wouldn't have the slightest interest in the dance music scene who are going. They seem to be viewing it as a mini-Oxegen...

    And showing the Champions League final in the main arena doesn't seem very "Life" tbh. (not that I've anything against football fans, but people wearing united jerseys and watching a match doesn't really seem to fit with Life's psy/hippy/alternative vibe)

    But I guess it's not sustainable to run it as a primarily psy festival, and to be fair, there's always an awesome psy stage every year, and they got some amazing psy acts last year and in previous years.

    Just hope there're few scumbags!
