    Just seen on the Facebook page that early bird tickets are getting launched in Monday 10th March, so a line up will probably announced soon after that too.

    From Facebook:
    "Bulmers & POD Presents Forbidden Fruit Festival 2014 - The City Centre Multi-Stage Music & Arts Festival. Saturday 31st May & Sunday 1st June Bank Holiday Weekend at The Royal Hospital Kilmainham, Dublin

    The Forbidden Fruit Festival is returning for another Bank Holiday feast of music, art and comedy this June in one of Dublin’s most beautiful settings on the grounds of the Irish Museum of Modern Art.

    This year’s early bird tickets go on sale this coming Monday 10th March. Early Bird Day Tickets priced €49.50 / 2-Day Tickets: €99.50 from Ticketmaster Ireland.

    Prices include booking fee but subject to service charges.

    “A festival like this has been a long time coming, one that combines music, art, fashion and simple good vibes into a two-day city-based event.” The Irish Times.

    Line-up announcement coming very soon!"

    €20 increase from last year's EB price (€79). think €99 was the final price last year?
    will wait for the lineup before buying anyway, last year's wasn't great.

    The day ticket price hasn't increased that much since 2011, it was 45 euro for the Sunday that year, its 49.50 this year.

    On, on the last day of Primavera so should be an interesting exchange of acts there.

    Haven't checked any schedules but ye'd think Foals, Mogwai, Cut Copy, Daniel Avery, Cloud Nothings, Jagwar Ma, Slowdive, !!! and Sharon Van Etten would be the kind of PS acts they'd be after. Kendrick Lamar and NIN at a real push. None of em have festivals here lined up that I can think of.

    Nine Inch Nails are playing Primerva sound on Sat 31st and Toulouse on the Sunday 1st so unfortunately can rule them out.

    Maybe Queens for headliner?

    Imagine, I went last year and had a blast, I am probably going this year regardless of the headliners, but queens would be perfect

    Any chance Aphex Twin would play again?

    That was Forbidden Fruit's finest scoop, I want him to do the Picnic this time, a late night slot would be good. Loved him at FF the last time it just felt odd that three quarters of the set was in daylight. He suits a dark marquee more for his amazing laser show.

    Doubt Foals will play seen as they were here twice in February. Cut Copy and Cloud Nothings are playing here already, I think Jagwar Ma are too so I really doubt that they'll play both. Can't see NIN happening at all this year.

    Mogwai and Slowdive are potentially a good shout though...

    Portishead and dark side have to turn up at something...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,539 ✭✭✭ghostdancer

    playing in Spain on Thurs, then Italy on Sunday, France on Monday and Italy again on Tuesday too. doubt they'd fly up here just for the Saturday.

    The Flaming Lips are playing a few shows in the UK finishing on May 29th with weekend of FF completely free so would be shocked if they were headlining. Although they are back in the UK in August for End of the Road Festival so possibly an appearance at EP instead.

    Was just throwing a few out there. Quite a few I mentioned are already lined up to play elsewhere too. Who'd be a booker in this climate?!

    PadraigOK: "Was just throwing a few out there. Quite a few I mentioned are already lined up to play elsewhere too. Who'd be a booker in this climate?!"

    Probably Declan Forde who does the booking for Electric Picnic and Harvest festival in Australia.

    That was rhetorical. Should start using the quote function. Would help explain my posts.

    Wouldn't they be too big to headline something like Forbidden Fruit? What's the capacity, 10k?

    have Warpaint played here since EP?

    new album and large tour at the moment, loads of UK/European dates throughout it, no Ireland date.
    playing Primavera on Thursday, in Germany on the Saturday, then Norwich on the following Wednesday, before going down to Portugal.

    Dublin on the Sunday could be quite possible.

    Can definitely see it happening. They are everywhere this summer.

    Not sure , Kasabian did it last year and they were prob the biggest headliner they have had . Although can still see Queens probably pick EP


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9 ersemi


    I'm praying to have Beck or Damon Albarn this year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,800 ✭✭✭✭bodhrandude


    There will be a first announcement tomorrow for Saturdays acts, should be interesting.

    any guesses on who will be announced ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,800 ✭✭✭Dr. Bre


    cant wait now!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22 backstreets


    They won't be massive names, considering how low the ticket prices are and the costs of putting this on, i would expect no big names, it was nowhere near a sell out last year so i am quite suprised it is even going ahead this year

    Flaming Lips and Beck will be good bet for headliners also Pet Shop Boys


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,276 ✭✭✭readyletsgo


    Beck Pet Shop Boys and APHEX TWIN! would be amazing. Last year was ok, but nothing compaired to the first year.

    Might pick just one day this time round.

    I remember going last year to the Saturday and i just went to see kasabian as did pretty much everyone else there and there was just a lot of waiting around as there were no other decent bands on, we spent most of the time in the comedy tent and then just headed up to see kasabian who were fantastic

    I think Longitude has really taken over from F.F

    Ghostpoet, Crystal Castles, Jagwar Ma, James Blake, Le Galaxie, Kormac's big band.

    You missed out.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,675 ✭✭✭HighClass


    Thought the lineup last year was pretty good myself? Toro Y Moi, Woodkid, Chic, Primal Scream, James Blake, Kasabian, Cyrstal Castles, Ghostpoet, Four Tet, iamamiwhoami, Fight Like Apes and loads more. Better than what Longitude have so far this year.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 15,829 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    Went the first year and loved it , skipped the 2nd year and went again last year . Yea tbh i only went for Kasabian last year but still caught Hot Sprockets(who were great) , the end of Crystal Castles(who i could not wait to be over tbh just sounded like noise and your one just screaming ****) . Went to the comedy tent too and seen your man Eoin Mc Love from Father Ted (cant remember his name) . Think i seen a few other acts while i was floating around . The weather was fairly good last year too

    So rumours?

    Placebo
    Queens (Although can see them doing EP)
    Foals (either FF or EP id say)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 164 ✭✭useded


    Have to admit that last year, the first day was a bit rubbish. Lineup wasn't exactly to my taste, but the atmosphere around the place wasn't great either. The second day very much made up for it though. You're going to have that when you have the likes of Chic, Four Tet, Daphni etc. playing in the sunshine.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,091 ✭✭✭lc180


    I'm very surprised there's been no leaks, there was zero mention of Kasabian and Primal Scream in the predictions last year so I wonder will there be any surprises this time around.

    If I had to guess I'd say at least a couple of these:
    - Metronomy, Flaming Lips, TEED, London Grammar, Duke Dumont, Damon Albarn, Pet Shop Boys, Warpaint, Jaime XX, Le Galaxie.

    Very unlikely but maybe Foals or St Vincent too.

    pretty certain that Flaming Lips and Warpaint are playing.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,402 ✭✭✭nxbyveromdwjpg


    Flaming Lips already headlined FF, would they really get the same act again


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,847 ✭✭✭s8n


    anyone know what time the announcement is at ?

    FlyLo and Fukc Buttons?! I'm there! :D


    Nils Frahm, Young Knives and Vann Music playing too.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,675 ✭✭✭HighClass


    I'll be going whatever day FlyLo is playing anyway, was hoping he'd be at EP but once I get to see him I'll be happy. Not mad about the rest but I'm sure there'll be more added I like :)

    Edit: Just seen on Twitter that's all for the Saturday. Saturday it is so!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 358 ✭✭WellThen?


    This is disappointing. Don't care about any of these acts.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,539 ✭✭✭ghostdancer


    FlyLo's 3d show looks fantastic, 4mins into the 2nd video is brilliant :D





  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 269 ✭✭chopser


    How much work/thought went into booking the acts when all they could come up with was The Flaming Lips (again) as a headline act?

    I (like many others) have lost count of the amount of times I have seen them at festivals over the years. Are there that few acts out there that The Flaming Lips need to be called upon year after year to headline a festival in Ireland?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,058 ✭✭✭JJ


    Bellies and Lips are enough to get me there on the Saturday night. It's also an added bonus that I can walk home afterwards.
