I think I would bust a nut if Kraftwerk were playing just up the road from my place.

ghostdancer

some sort of mix of Primavera and Field Day, and I'll be happy.

I love Kraftwerk and they're fantastic live, but their show would suffer from the early curfew. They're doing some sort of 3d thing at the moment and I doubt it would look anywhere near as good in daylight.

Was this not going to Cork and Galway this year as well?

Gonzovision

Only realised, it's only a 2 day festival this year.

Furious-Red

Id say throw in Nick Cave aswell

according to Hot Press in the days after last year. never any official quotes or anything AFAIK. I doubt it was actually a serious consideration (if even true at all), given that it didn't even sell out last year, and there isn't enough of a market for it outside Dublin.

i'm happy enough with that, 3 days last year was a bit of a slog, nice to have the bank holiday Monday to recover, like the first year. also probably means a slightly reduced ticket price too.

Mr Whirly

I'm hoping for Nick Cave as well.

won't be kraftwerk, last show in Sydney is the 28th May, and this is one act that definitely do not rush!!

davywalsh7

I think POD released a press statement.

Forbidden Fruit is now firmly established in the festival calendar and following on from the huge success of the 3 day weekend festival which took place in IMMA, Kilmainham, Dublin promoters are now looking to bring Forbidden Fruit to other locations in Ireland. They are currently looking at sites in Cork and Galway to replicate Ireland’s first multi stage urban festival for 2013.

“The atmosphere on each of the three days was second to none and the standard of performances from all the acts was amazing across the weekend. We were particularly pleased to see the massive success of the newly added comedy stage, the Chuckleberry Lounge. Plans are already afoot for Forbidden Fruit 2013.”

here's the Optimus Primavera lineup for the same weekend. a good few acts from Primavera last year played FF that weekend too, so i'd imagine a few of these will ultimately play....

Rastadoyle

not a bad lineup that

lc180

Le Galaxie mentioned a few times online that they're playing Dublin in June. They were great last year and are a big POD favourite so i reckon they are a sure thing for FF this year.

readyletsgo

Longtitude is getting booked for the weekend defo!

FF, 2 days this year, kinda glad, monday was a tough aul day to get through last year.

WoollyRedHat

So wait, will there be 1 day in Dublin and 1 day somewhere else, or how is it working exactly?

ghostdancer

hoping for a slightly more adventurous lineup from FF than the Latitude one tbh.

Same. Some tasty bands on the Primavera and Field Day lineups so here's hoping...

2 days in Dublin, Saturday and Sunday, same place as last year.

nocoverart

Aphex Twin and Atoms for Peace as headliners please and thanks.

lc180

I'm looking forward to the line-up this week. Has there been any rumours on who the headliners will be??

Personally I'd be a little disappointed if Nick Cave & TBS is one of them but they are the real stand out artist from the Field Day & Primavera Porto line-ups I could see headlining at FF.

Any word on the street about the line-up?

Id be happy with Nick Cave tbh , maybe through Madness in the picture and you will have me sold

I'm just not a huge fan of them but there will be 2 other stages to choose from so not too phased if they headline. Madness could be a lot of fun tho!

I'll see the lineup, get stupidly excited, contact all my friends, get ignored by all my friends, end up not going, get really sad about missing out, then say "I never fancied that festival anyway".

Fingers Crossed its Band of Horses, the Olympia show was excellent.

FF launch in the market bar tomorow from 6

nomoreindie

Day tickets €54.5 plus booking fee of €6.10 if purchased online
weekend tickets €99.50 plus booking fee of €6.10 if purchased online
No sign of early bird tickets being made available either, they will need a strong lineup to justify these prices

nocoverart

Hopefully the line-up will be more daring than Longitude, but more than likely will have a similar feel of radio friendly Indie bands. Saying that the Sunday line-up of Kraftwerk, Modest Mouse and Yeah Yeah Yeahs warrants a day ticket at Longitude IMO.

Then the timetable is released and they all end up clashing with each other.

Kasabian & Primal Scream to headline?

I like both those bands but i reckon mass uproar if they were announced as headliners!

Why? They'd pull in a crowd no problem

Pull in a crowd i agree, but do they fit the usually style of forbidden fruit - dont mean that in a stuck up way just think it would be a strange booking.

In saying that, Kasabian are epic live so i'd be delighted if they headlined.

Yeeeeeesh, compared to last year, this is horrendous

Any chance somebody could paste this tweet into a post here.. Twitter is blocked at work here..

ghostdancer

very average. awful headliners.
Four Tet live and Daphni on the Sunday would be good. Chic are supposed to be great fun too but not a big draw for me.

Saturday- James Blake would be good if in a tent. Crystal Castles are grand but I've gotten pretty bored of them.


unless the further announcements have much better acts for the Saturday, i'd probably only go for the Sunday, mainly because I've never seen Four Tet do a live set.

civilnug

I thought between this and Longitude, Alt-J would pop up somewhere.

EP exclusive perhaps?
