    What's the big ones in Belgium, there's Tomorrowland, that big psytrance one at the same venue where they use recycled metals for the stages and Pukkelpop, they're fairly big capacity events I think.

    Yea was there in 2010 and 2016, really good festival imo with plenty of music to choose from. Easy enough to get around the site too, most indoor stages were marquees instead of tents, they also had a great dance area (even though Im not a massive fan) and the weather was also great. You pay for everything via tokens which you can prebuy or buy on site, I was lucky on the last day some random guy just gave me like €20 worth of tokens for nothing which was deadly ha

    The live stream for the James Vincent Mcmorrow gig is free on YouTube for anyone who's interested.

    I enjoyed his first two albums but not listened since. Liked what I heard tonight and I'd happily stroll along to any set of his at EP 2021. Sorcha Richardson too.

    Once you start thinking about it, live music I mean, it's hard to stop. Got myself a couple of Big Thief tickets this morning. Gigs stretching out as far as the eye can see, Snapped Ankles, David Keenan, Dry Cleaning, Sports Team, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, the Frames, Pixies, Fontaines.......the future feels brighter. Let's just get the Picnic up and running, tie the whole thing together.

    Complete waste of time, there are people more densely grouped in nearly every outdoor public space at the moment, without any of the one way systems etc.

    What do we learn from this?

    Agreed . And it’s not the future for gigs . The industry will go bust if this what gigs are going to be like

    A protest for live music is planned for the 23rd. There's also a petition being shared on Facebook, probably against the rules to share the link so it's easy enough for someone to Google.

    Not a lineup for me at all. Only Damien Dempsey and David Keenan appeal. No doubt it’ll be a great weekend though, and some very fine bars in Sligo Town.

    Ah yeah I totally get that, it's a little geared towards the younger folk I guess. But it still has a much better chance of happening than EP does I'm afraid. Hopefully we'll get both of course.

    I see there are possible talks in the UK about pushing out the original reopening date of the 21st of June by further 4 weeks, this would have a serious affect on gigs/festivals due to happen in July.

    Ad on radio today for Picture This (not my cup of tea btw) gigs in Gleneagle Hotel in December.

    Of note is that the gigs are billed as “their only Irish dates this year”. As one of the EP20 headliners that may have rolled over to EP21, it doesn’t bode well.
