    Someone mentioned Elbow earlier. With PODs habit of repeating acts for it's festivals i'd say thats a good shout.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,914 ✭✭✭Rigor Mortis


    I wouldnt be surprised to see Elbow headlining, but it would be strange to see them announced until after their own headline show in the 3 Arena, which i dont think is sold out. Their last one in the 3 didnt come close to selling out.


  • Registered Users Posts: 306 ✭✭Peesh89


    The announcement and video are bit cryptic, "Dial-up ATN'ers!" ,and the video has an old computer with the dial up noise!

    Im going to guess Thom Yorke....

    Radiohead rumours are always rife around this time but if they were trying to hint at the headliner, the amount of computer references in the announcement - emojis and video content - would point towards a certain Ok Computering musical act. And just to be more cryptic... it's the third instalment of ATN and that was the third album.

    Didn't last year's teaser video include an old style TV which, when switched on, revealed the National as headliners?

    Not sure you can read too much into that being a computer tbh!!

    At least that's what I'm telling myself - I can't make the festival next year so to miss Thom Yorke would be a nightmare!! :L

    hahah I'm absolutely poking all the radiohead bears that are always looking out for every single reason for them to be playing any festival :p

    Aphex Twin

    Was thinking this too especially when I heard the electronic squelch, or griffdaddy's prediction of Kraftwerk. Both of these would be fecking mighty.

    The audio on that instagram sounded like one of the tracks from the Japanese cassette that had been sold at the gig Aphex played in 2017, considering he's played Forbidden Fruit twice, I'd say he might be a good candidate.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,507 ✭✭✭BadTurtle


    Kraftwerk are a good shout. Headlined the first Longitude back when it was more like ATN than a leaving cert rite of passage.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 541 ✭✭✭boomshakalaka


    I'm clueless when it comes to guessing announcements but both Kraftwerk and Aphex Twin would be very nice.

    I'm expecting a headliner that's more indie tho a la the National.

    Radiohead.. one can dream


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,596 ✭✭✭Ferris_Bueller


    Kraftwerk would be a class headliner but I wouldn't read too much into the old computer either. I too think they will go with an indie type headliner, would not fancy Elbow myself.

    Who would the dream first headliner be for you guys? I would love any of the following.

    The War on Drugs
    Arcade Fire
    New Order
    Tame Impala


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,128 ✭✭✭Tacitus Kilgore


    Would love to see RATM again but I would suspect that would be wishful thinking for ATN :D

    Loathe as I aim to go too high, I don't think Arcade Fire are out of reach. I think it would tickle their fancy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,507 ✭✭✭BadTurtle


    Tame Impala
    Air
    Thom Yorke
    Caribou

    Don't get my hopes up! :(

    I can't see them touring again before another album though tbh!

    Musical equivalent of wet socks. Although actually, at least wet socks inspire some sort of feeling.

    Even the name is just so uninspiring. Elbow. The least exciting part of the arm.

    Tedious, dull ****e.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 657 ✭✭✭sally cinnamon89


    IDLES have strong Aiken links


  • Registered Users Posts: 392 ✭✭SoundOfSilence


    Just saw that Elbow have their own 3 arena gig in March so i'd seriously doubt they're going to be announced this week anyway.

    Idles are a good shout although would they have the same drive in terms of tickets sales, being the first headliner announced?

    Would rule Bon Iver out also as they've got their own 3 arena gig which hasn't sold out.

    In short, I've actually no idea who'll be announced this week.

    Excellent musicians, with excellent songs.
    Ideal lying down in the main arena with the sun going down music.

    Not very good for a Festival headliner on a Sat or Sunday night tho ! (Ala Fleet Foxes ,amazing band, but too mellow to close a days music !)

    Yes, I think poor old Elbow have got a raw deal here. I always thought they suited a lower stratosphere better. If they could just come over to Dublin and do Whelans gigs, they'd be great. They still are great songwriters.

    I think Idles would be a pretty decent announcement but they certainly don't have the name recognition that plenty of the other acts mentioned here do. If Aiken/Pod are concerned about fallout from this year's festival, they'll want to start strong and, as such, might hold off Idles until the second announcement (for example!).

    I haven't a notion who to expect tbh. Bon Iver is a no-go like you say. Since Elbow already have a 2020 show, I would say they won't be announced first either.

    If Arcade Fire were to be announced, they would likely do so as part of a worldwide tour/confirmation of the Funeral anniversary tour/announcement of a new album and, tbh, none of that appears to be forthcoming at present. They are also strongly rumoured for Primavera and All Points East in early June so they might be more likely for an earlier summer show here if they are touring again.

    I think Tame Impala is likely headed for Electric Picnic - they just seem to be on the trajectory to do larger shows/festivals everywhere, though I don't really see why (good band but they seemed to go from pretty popular to mega popular without actually releasing any new music; very interested to see the response to the new album) - but maybe someone like Foals? They're popular but not as popular as the others and I'm not aware of any 2020 shows in Ireland yet. New album a few weeks ago, played headline show here earlier this year in Trinity so might be more on the festival circuit in 2020.

    I've no real issue with Elbow; I just think they'd be a really uninteresting booking on the basis that they play here so often.

    3 Arena next year, Forbidden Fruit this year, 3 Arena (2018), Live at the Marquee (2017), Olympia x2 (2017)...

    Fans aren't short of opportunities to see them.

    Now that's not unique to Elbow - Foals who I suggested as potential headliners never seem to be away for long, and the National (my favourite band and this year's headline act) are here every fortnight basically. (18 gigs since 2010 according to setlist.fm. F*cking hell!!)

    That said, it's something that is likely to happen more and more now - bands can only really make their money on tours so are likely to tour a lot more.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,914 ✭✭✭Rigor Mortis


    I'm not expecting Elbow at this stage due to the March gig.

    They are made for the older ATN demographic though. They'd be a very safe headliner on one of the evenings.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 635 ✭✭✭Gus Ivey


    Is there any chance for ELO? New album out. But would they big too big for ATN?

    Not sure they would be. They sold out the 3 arena but nowhere bigger. They have played a few times but not too often. They would be a great shout.

    'Dial-up ATNers' could have been a little nod to Telephone Line.
    I think they would suit ATN to the ground, finishing off on Sunday night.

    We may be old, but it doesn't mean we can't still break a hip dancing to something a bit more upbeat than Elbow

    I would have said the opposite.

    They're pretty much completely out of kilter with what I'd be expecting, based on the headliners from the last 2 years, and the festival's demographic:

    Fleet Foxes
    Underworld
    Roisin Murphy

    The National
    Patti Smith
    Hot Chip
    Jon Hopkins

    I do have a real soft spot for Elbow, as they were the first dance at my wedding (not grounds for divorce) and they have plenty of quality tunes. Agree though that they may not be great for a festival closing spot.

    Really hoping for Public Service Broadcasting to be announced at some point for next year. Really think they’d fit the ATN vibe so well. Their set at the B&S stage in EP a few years back was awesome!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 392 ✭✭SoundOfSilence


    Could the chemical brothers potentially headline next year? A quick look at their live dates... nothing for 2020 as of yet

    Yeah, PBS are tailor made for ATN. They'd be ideal.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,507 ✭✭✭BadTurtle


    Cant see ELO to be honest. Have they ever been booked at an Irish festival before? Theyd be an unknown quantity as an initial act announcement, but I wouldnt expect there to be much buzz around the target audience. I'm also not sure ELOs fanbase would be all that interested in a camping festival tbh.

    Chemical Brothers could be a good shout. I'd personally be hugely underwhelmed, having seen them 4 times already, with the same visuals for Hey Boy Hey Girl every time.

    Excellent Marquee gig in Cork a few years back too, maybe heavily dependent on suitable venue, wouldn't be rushing to them in 3 arena.
