Here we go:

One striking thing is how few North American artists are on that lineup, bar the aforementioned RATM & RTJ. It's pretty firmly the UK and Ireland. Cancellations?

Not an impressive first lineup but plenty more to come. Fontaines DC and The Murder Capital will almost certainly play.

That's decent,happy enough with that

The lineup got a lot worse today. Apart from Foals (and the permanent fixture of the Chem Bros), that is very poor.

Press release was emailed out at 12.30pm.

Few journos tweeting from the event now too.

Presume their own socials will follow shortly.

quite a heavy dance / rap lean to it

It doesn't matter how many times you go through this process. All I can see is Snow Patrol, Lewis Capaldi and Picture This. I'll be ok. I need time.

Snow patrol headliners.....seriously.......sorry line up just sinking in now I’ve seen past bicep

Mike Guide 69

Rick Astley could have been a better headliner than some of those announced!!!!

fish_fingers

Wow....so poor, it's frightening (even more than types of love )

No Imagination (another Blondie reference)

I wonder can they actually come back from this dirge

Why do we do this to ourselves every year.

Convinced myself Tame Impala would be showing. Sigh.

RATM just doesnt fit that line up at all IMO

If they could tweak it to 'Rage at the Lineup' maybe? But you're right.

Mike Guide 69

Increase in capacity and revenue and that’s what you get???, p*ss poor to say the least!!!!

MichaelM93l

Absolutely piss poor line up from EP, looks like I’ll be selling my ticket

It's only the first announcement, plenty of time for other stuff to be added.

Thank you for that lol during this difficult time

Bicep, Ian Brown, Aoife Nessa Francis. Other than that it’s mostly ick, over-familiar, or “who?”. Sure it’ll be grand.

sally cinnamon89

Not great at all for my music taste. Very unimaginative IMO. Like Snow Patrol FFS for a 70,000 person festival that's very poor. It is clear the market they are going after - the younger people and I can see why. But just doesn't fit me and that's grand. There's ATN and B&S for others.

Although Black Country New Road savage. Everyone should check them out who's going!!!

//Dreadful. I've usually been optimistic when the line up gets slated on here every year but this one, I cant be positive about it. They'd need to drastically improve that in the summer announcement. Is their target audience teenage girls and no one else now?

RATM - Chemicals (was blitzed last time so hope to see them semi-sober this time) - Bicep - Ian Brown - Run the Jewels - Foals - Jams Vincent McMarrow - Rick Astley (FTW!).

Interested in Annie Mac, Mabel, JPEGMAFIA.

Looking forward to learning about the undercards.

fourmations

its bloody grim for me too,
always happy to see Foals but surely they should be way higher on the bill

the undercard is pitiful which is where i usually get my thrills
I know theres more to come but still grim

Fck Lewis Capaldi as well!!! (sorry, that was therapeutic)

sweetie

Jesus

I can live with that line up. Will enjoy Chemical Brothers, Ian Brown, Foals, Run the Jewels. Will be off in search of other stuff during Lewis Capaldi, Snow Patrol & Picture This which is often the best fun of all. Listening to stuff I've never heard off through July & August and then going to see the ones I like live. Yip.

cjdennis29

Not too shabby. Two great headliners and a solid undercard. Could be much better but not complaining with what we have considering thisis just round 1.

100 gecs' first time in Ireland ever, v exciting.
JPEGMAFIA was unreal in the Academy last week.
Rina, Run the Jewels, Bicep.
