Longitude 2015

CWF

Are there more acts to be announced no? Krystle Klear is playing Opium Rooms on the Saturday... I wonder would he do a set at Longitude too??

BadTurtle

There might be a couple of djs added, nothing exciting I'd imagine. Krystal Klear would be the very best we could hope for.

CWF

I was thinking there might be something decent added with how slow ticket sales seem to be going.

Can someone tell me about the drink situation. Can you bring in drink or have you to sneak it in?

CWF

You have to sneak it... have heard different reports.. some get away with it others don't! I think I got away with it last year! Put it in one of those squeezy bottles for running that you get in the Euro shops

Ziplocl bag of drink stuffed down the jocks, with the sealed top of the bag between waistband of jeans and waistband of jocks

cson

You're allowed bring in sealed soft drink containers < 500ml I think so Capri Sun screw top & glue the top closed again when you've the drink in so if they do check its 'sealed' it won't budge.

Sounds delicious!

In fairness (a) its a long day in there (b) sneaking a naggin in a ziplock bag will save you ~€25.

If MCD/Heineken weren't greedy on the concession front and had pints at say €4 instead of €6 then you wouldn't have as much drink being sneaked in.

Do they sell any other drink than beer in there? Sorry I'm a newbie to the whole festival thing :P

Think Heineken have it so that's the beer, Orchard Thieves will be the cider offering and there'll be a wine offering. Don't think they sell spirits there & in any case I don't think Heineken have any recognised spirit offering in their portfolio.

I beg to differ, people who plan to smuggle booze in will do so irrespective of the price at the bar inside.
Also the bars will do a very good trade either way, plenty of binge drinkers out there to make up the losses for the smugglers.

cson

Honestly if pints were €4 I wouldn't bother smuggling anything in. I will @ €6.

And the bar closes at 10 as well...if you are going to try and sneak something in, from experience of last year, either go when the cue is busy and you will be waved through quicker, or give it to a female to put in her bag or on her person, friend of mine got waved through with drink in her bag last year, lads I was with got a long frisking

Oh yeah, if you're female you're grand. Ziplock bags into the bra and away you go tbh.

13.30 - 15:00 4wrd Grad

The line-up on Friday July 17th alone is mouthwatering, kicking off what's shaping up to be an outstanding weekend of music in emphatic fashion with a headline set by the one and only Detroit techno stalwart Carl Craig. Don't say we don't treat you well.

He'll be joined on Friday by the super-exciting All Tvvins, the Irish duo who recently signed to Atlantic Records. As members of Adebisi Shank and The Cast of Cheers, Lar Kaye and Conor Adams's have the driving, melodic, jerky guitar thing down; their newest endeavour includes an electronic undercurrent and is destined to make big waves this year. Completing Friday's line-up is Pogo resident Frank B, Hubie Davison, whose dreamy, ethereal electronica couldn't be further away from his dad (Chris de Burgh)'s back catalogue; Hidden Agenda resident DJ Niall D'Arcy, a live set by Dublin visual artist/musician Contour, and Lee Kelly.

There's no room to draw breath: we're straight into Saturday with an equally awesome line-up with a live set by Dublin male/female 'nu-disco' duo Faune kicking off proceedings before sets by Cork's Young Wonder, recent participants in RedBull's Opinion Leader programme and who'll be teasing tracks from their debut album 'Birth'. Also on Saturday's bill are Jeremy Underground and Pogo resident Frank B, while Galway's John Daly will cap off the night in style.

We all know that Day 3 of any festival can be a tough one to get through – so you'll be glad to hear that Sunday's RBMA Stage will be a place of refuge for the weary dance music fan, with a programme will both soothe your weary head and get you nicely riled up for the final stretch of Longitude 2015.

4Ward Grad will open proceedings on Sunday afternoon, followed by sets by Shane Linehan and our old mucker (and RBMA alumnus) WIFE, aka Corkman James Kelly, who'll provide some blissful tunes to ease you into the evening. Also on Sunday's programme is EMBRZ, the electronic project of Jack Casey, whose song 'Silent' has been registering on the radar of many in recent months, as well as Sligo's deep house aficionado Brame. Young Norwegian DJ/turntablist Cashmere Cat will see us out on Sunday evening with his headline slot, and send us home with a buzz in our heads and a bleep in our hearts.

All in all, it's shaping up to be a mighty celebration of Ireland's rising electronica scene, with a little help from a few international names. We can't wait. See you there.

Possibly a stupid question, but why do they indicate that some people are "Live". Does that mean that the others are prerecorded or playing a mixtape or something?

Surprised Carl Craig is on earlier, thought he would be a certainty to close out that stage but it might end up working out for the best with clashes. Now the patient wait to see what time Todd Terje is on...

Live means they're performing live, but that can mean a multiple amount of things, i.e; could be sampling live, using ableton/programs to trigger music stems or samples live, or literally build a track from scratch live using samplers/synths/drum machines etc.

There's plenty that can be constituted as 'live', but the main premise is that you're not just dj'ing, i.e; mixing one track into another - even if they're your own tracks and even if it's done through a program like ableton etc. because that's just a 'DJ set', so basically those that aren't listed as live are just DJ'ing.

Very annoyed I could only afford to go on Saturday... Friday's lineup is looking the best imo!

When are the hard copy tickets being issued?

I got mine ages ago (from 2 separate purchases a few weeks apart). You should probably ring Ticketmaster

Nope, nothing sent out again to me. And I always make sure to select the option of the hard copy as I like keeping the ticket stubs from concerts as opposed to the gammy sheets!

Same, but there's plenty on Saturday to keep me happy

BadTurtle

Sunday is the best IMO, so much so I'm mentally prepared for some nightmare clash like Chemical brothers/Danny Brown/James Blake.

Dr. Bre
