    I'm looking forward to this festival over any other this year. Have never made it because I've always had to work on the Bank Holiday weekend.

    I'm amazed that people complain about the lineup given the price! It's a bargain.

    I'm amazed people can't respect other people's opinions

    Beardyman, King Kong Company and Feeder will be the highlights for me.
    Much better line-up imo then last year. If ASIWYFA were playing again I'd be thrilled.

    Do tickets usually sell fast or would there be a few around a month in advance?

    INDIE12 will have a 1am bar license like last year! So, everyone can drink nice and sensibly as there's no rush with a 10pm closing like lots of other events! Happy Friday!

    Very unlikely as WAS just played Camden Crawl last week but I'd love to be wrong! :D

    Coronas are playing the Marquee so it definitely won't be them

    Maybe just maybe Franz Ferdinand might headline. They are playing a gig in the Roisin Dubh in Galway this Friday so don't think they are out of reach for Indiependence

    Delighted with the new additions. Personally Foals are one of my favourite bands and we've tried with a long time to get them over but timing's never worked so having them DJ is great and hopefully they enjoy it so next year they'll come back and play the main stage.

    For me, you's seriosuly got the wow factor with British Sea Power - hands down one of the best bands I've ever seen live. Very well done on that one.

    I'd be thrilled if you's managed to get acts like Allo Darlin' , Beth Jeans Houghton or some of the emerging irish acts like The Hot Sprockets, The Radioactive Grandma or The Candidates. That would be pretty knock out if you's pulled them out of the hat!

    How many stages will there be?

    Fair play on getting British Sea Power, blew me away few years ago when i saw them at Oxegen. Kudo's on Foals dj set too, a pity it wasn't them performing live, but fair play all the same.

    There's going to be 5 different stages, or rather 4 stages and an "area".

    The area looks like the mutt's nuts

    Neil Hamilton of BSP nearly decapitated me at their Academy gig a few years back. He wrapped gaffa tape round my neck, rolled it out, wrapped the other end round his leg and dived into the crowd. My buddy had to cut the feckin tape otherwise he'd have had me neck off.

    Good band, but a bit unhinged.
    :D
