Looks like Monday is an additional day and we can buy tickets for it Monday the 19th without buying a weekend ticket.

Not sure if I should risk an early bird weekend ticket without the line up.

Bon Iver will be curating the line-up

What does this actually mean?

It's means Bob Iver have hand picked or at least helped choose the musicians playing on the Monday of the festival.

What's the set up of this venue, is it all standing?
Is it expected to sell out in minutes?

Thundercats Ho

There are 4 stages, 2 of which are predominantly DJ sets. There's also a comedy tent.
I doubt Justin Vernon will be booking Gearoid Farrelly for the comedy or Nialler9 or Kelly Ann Byrne for a DJ slot.

I'd imagine his 'curation' will be limited to the main stage.
It's also possible that the Monday will be stripped back, and the comedy and some of the DJ stuff not happening?

Yeah, I'm going to take "curating the line up" as "meaningless hipster marketing bollocks".

Still, looking forward to it!

BurtMacklin

Just picked up two tickets for the Monday.

lc180

Picked up a couple tickets.

Now if only they could 'curate' Mac Demarco, Real Estate and Sylvan Esso onto the lineup that would be great.

Its this line All Tommorrows Parties used in the UK for nightmare before Christmas and their other festivals.

Essentially the curator gets to picks the bands he wants but from a list of bands with deals with the promotor ,so because of the availability the list is a very small one and probably no different to want the promotor would pick.

So yes it is meaningless hipster marketing bollocks, its essentially means if you like bon iver you might like .....

Will Flying Lotus be on at same time as Bon Iver or how are they going to run the Monday?

What was the Patti Smith day like?

Just on the all standing. Wife will be heavily pregnant then, is there seating at the venue at all?

Ferris_Bueller

There hasn't been any seating at the festival any of the years I've been there, maybe the Monday show will be different but I can't imagine them getting seating in for the last day.

I've never seen it at FF but there should be an Accessibility Seating area like at other festivals and outdoor gigs. It's usually a elevated ramp with space for wheelchairs and seats for plus 1's & carers etc. There is info on how to request it on the Bon Iver ticket page on TM.

They moved everything into tents because of bad weather, but the timetable may have been similar anyway? I can't remember. I know there was just time to run from Spiritualized, but the Patti tent was pretty rammed by then.

Patti Smith will perform her classic album Horses in full at 9.15pm – here is the new running order:
New Secret Weapon: 6pm (Tent 2)
Ariel Pink: 6.40pm (Tent 1)
Spiritualized: 7.55pm (Tent 2)
Patti Smith: 9.15pm (Tent 1)

Maybe they will book Aphex Twin again, it would coincide with the gigs in Europe anyway.

Is there a cut off date for early birds? Can't see any.

Not sure. I ended up buying a Monday ticket.

Lemsiper

Seems pretty clear from those dates that Forbidden Fruit is not included in the cancelled shows.

Feel bad for anyone going to one of those shows. I would be gutted myself.

Forbidden Fruit Festival 2017 ... line-up details coming soon!

.

Ferris_Bueller

They seem to be getting ready to make an announcement on facebook. I'd say there could be something this week.

Probably expect a few of these to make an appearance as it's the weekend before:

MattD

Anderson paak is way too far down on that lineup. If he somehow got announced for the Bon Iver day I'd be a happy happy boy.

BOHtox

Mick Jenkins and Denis Sulta are so far down as well. Really hope both play

Ferris_Bueller

Won't be around for it myself but plenty of acts on that line up who would be great additions to FF. Frank Ocean or A Tribe Called Quest could be a good option for a headliner, Forbidden Fruit have had a few big hip hop acts the past few years. Denis Sulta is in Belfast for AVA the same weekend so he could be a good shout to play at it. I would be raging if I missed Armand Van Helden, I saw him at Oxegen in 2010 and he was brilliant, don't think he has played in Ireland since..

Anderson. Paak already has two shows lined up for Ireland this year.

In support of Bruno Mars in the 3 Arena in April...

I'm keeping fingers and toes crossed for his own shows, though. I think we're well overdue!!

Furious-Red

Seen Anderson Paak by mistake at Pukkelpop last year and i thought he was really good and would def go see him again

team_actimel

Orbital announced as the headliner for Saturday.

Just grabbed my 3 day ticket there. Surprised that the early bird are still available to be honest.

Would love for Anderson Paak to be announced. Saw Mick Jenkins in the Academy recently, and he was excellent, so would agree with BOHtox on wanting him at Forbidden Fruit as well.

Ah i was really hoping for a proper lineup announcement and not just 1 headliner

Is this a recent thing for some festivals to just drip feed announcements? Life festival has been doing that.

It's sh*t. Seems to be an Irish thing. Line-ups already announced much later than other European/UK festivals.
Just give us the full line-up so we can decided on getting tickets!

Orbital is a bit of a coup.

Absolutely, this has made my Thursday!

MattD

Orbital and Booka Shade for Saturday, seems like it's shaping to be a very dancey day, maybe the Sunday will push towards a more rap/hip-hop vibe?

Looking forward to reading bodhrandude's reaction to this great news!

Wanted it to be Electric Picnic this year, right I'm gonna burn down Forbidden Fruit ha ha.

Anyone see Aphex Twin last time he was at FF?

Haha, had to be done. Any boardsies had the pleasure of being there in 2011?

bodhrandude

Yeah was at the 2011 one which was amazing but I always thought FF shared the same acts over a space of a few years with EP seemingly not. Just wanted to see him at a camping festival that is not Oxegen. Ah well, might as well top myself.

ghostdancer

he was pretty good in 2011, there's an audio recording of the whole thing floating around online, and amateur video of the whole thing on youtube (or used to be anyway).
can't believe it was 6 years ago tbh!
