Ticket arrived in the post today but it's like a paper ticket not the usual cardboard material, anyone else get this?

Yeah they have being using those for a while now, flimsy shíte

Brand Brauer Frick have just announced a tour for their new album. They'd be a perfect fit for ATN and have nothing between 27/7 and 10/8

No doubt Lisa Hannigan will do a bit at ATN but you'd imagine they'd have someone permanently doing the job at some of the other shows.

She killed the performance at Longitude a few years ago IMO

Yep, she was dreadful. I said it at the time but her ooooh ooooh ooooh style of vocals gets on my nerves

It's some lineup, must be the best festival in the country now. EP is just too big at this stage.

That is inevitable though after Oxegen stopped and became Oxitude.

Yup. Sucked the life out of the show I thought and didn't get going again.

To be fair that's just your opinion based on her voice which you don't like anyway. If he singing style gets on your nerves, how could you be impartial? I find her voice quite haunting but somehow have never seen her live so she could well be awful!

BullBlackNova

I remember finding her quite hard to hear at that Longitude show. Not sure if it was a case of the mic being too low but it put a bit of a downer on the songs she was there for as Matt would often leave some of his verses to her entirely only for her to be hard to hear.

I've seen her guest with the National a few times and she rarely adds much to the shows really. It's fine for the last few albums where the female vocals on songs were minor but if she was to take on essentially lead vocals on three or four songs from the new album, it'd be a totally different prospect. Would be interested to see how it would go.

First show of the new tour last night. Just one song each from Boxer and Alligator, and two from High Violet.

Yes, and the christmas advert she sung in.... *shudder*... Every time it came on.

Ah come on lads Lisa is a great singer. The Pull of You from the new album is fantastic.

She does have a good voice, no argument from me.

It's just not for me. I can't help feeling she tries to soundalike or exaggerates it sometimes (if that's the right word), I find it grates on me..
I've been at gigs of hers with friends and out of maybe 5 of us, I was the only one that thought that way so I'm in the minority. Just couldn't be a fan.

That Longitude performance was definitely down to the mic. Personally, I love Lisa Hannigan's voice but I can see how it's not for everyone. Also, I think it get's a bit lost at outdoor gigs. In a small venue she's incredible.

Her voice is all over the new album. She performs on four tracks and is pretty much the lead singer on 'The Pull of You' and 'So Far So Fast'.

The Pull of You is a brilliant song actually. That and Oblivion are my highlights, I think!

I think Matt's verse after the spoken word part is my favourite bit of the whole album, love the emotion and crashing drums when he sings "Maybe we'll talk it out inside a car with rain falling around us"

Oh she can sing has some good stuff in the past. but she can also be a bit dreary and completely killed that performance I thought. I didn't think it was a mic problem, it sounded like she was talking through it. I was way back and could hear fine, but it just seemed like she was trying to force some type of empathy or something

Maybe it was the song choice (Fake Empire if I recall correctly) but it really took away from it I felt.

I am expecting a big lineup announcement tomorrow with quite a few additions.

What are 3 bands that are possibilities that you'd love to see added?

I'm crossing my fingers for Khruangbin, Lamb and Robyn. I feel like they have a couple of tricks up their sleeves yet.

Girlband seem to be our. They’re vicar street show are billed as their only Irish show this year.

SoundOfSilence

Would love to see Cut Copy announced. Playing their own gig in the Button factory on the 18th July so highly unlikely.

As other posters have said, she was dreary and brought nothing to the song. I'm not overly familiar with her solo stuff so the oooh oooh oooh comment was in the context of that gig (Fake Empire was the song)

I'm sorted for a weekend ticket myself so it's more out of curiosity, they'd hardly have the site capacity add a day ticket option for any of the days?

They've been pretty adamant on Social media and their website that there won't be any day tickets this year

Ah that's fair enough. Was at it myself and enjoyed it. Can see how she and The National would be better suited indoors too though. Saw them in Donnybrook and sound wasn't great. Downside of outdoor gigs I guess!

D.Q

Expect a few of the softboy roster to be added. Kojaque and Wastefellow would be good fits.

After that then, Krystal Klear, Kaily, George Feeley, Tommy Holohan

Ferris_Bueller

Would love if Robyn was announced as looking unlikely she will make an appearance here this summer, but would be surprised if the next announcement isn't just Irish artists.
