BTP active on their socials today to announce Early Bird Tickets, coming soon apparently.

Will they announce an act do you think when they go on sale?

I can't remember if they had some of the line-up confirmed when tickets went on sale last time.

EDIT - just scrolled through to March last year and they did actually announce a fair whack of artists a few days before.

Fanirish

headline acts with the early bird announcement if rumours are true

Furious-Red

Hot Chip announced as headliner

rubick

Seems to be a week later too.

Fanirish

Same weekend as body and soul.

rubick

Too close to Glastonbury for us, last time was pushing it.

Thelonious Monk

Awesome, Hot Chip. Will get ticks next week. Went to ATN too, way preferred smaller intimate BTP. Hopefully not as windy next year!

Mazzy Star

Ah Hot Chip play the whole time though.

Fanirish

At this stage there is very few acts you haven’t played Irish festivals in the last decade

Their live show is bloody excellent tho, especially so at a festival, an absolute party! Very tempted now with this announcement.

Just Mustard the only thing there appealing to me. Thought last year's lineup was poor too.

Delighted Booka Shade have a new festival to play. Only so many times you can play Forbidden Fruit

Mazzy Star

Max Cooper is an excellent addition but again Just Mustard and Booka Shade play the whole time.

Fanirish

Early bird are €175 fyi

Thelonious Monk

Just got a few tickets, 182.50 or something with the booking fee

Fanirish

Ton more names added. Thundercat, Jon hopkins, leftfield and oneohtrix will please people

rubick

That is incredible. Gutted I can't make this one this time.

Fanirish

Hard To see how body and soul competing given it’s the same weekend

Ferris_Bueller

Very impressive lineup, plenty on that I would go and see. It's definitely the most impressive of the Irish festival announcements so far. Dare I say if that was the finished ATN lineup for 2023 I'd be happy (although wouldn't think the headliners are big enough). What kind of capacity is at this?

Fanirish

5000 capacity, was 3500 this year

rubick

I thought it was 5k this year too?

Fanirish

Announced it was to be 5,000 initially and then declared it sold out with 3,500 people on the weekend itself

They'll have to get a few more big hitters alright, considering they're going back to 10,000 capacity, so heard anyway when I was down there this year.

Fanirish

Nah body and soul is 5,000. They mentioned that in recent email or announcement.

Dreamweapon

That's a lot of electronica, and aside from Leftfield, not my kind of electronica. Saying that, it's clearly the most impressive lineup so far but still not floating my boat.

citycentre

I couldn't care less who is playing at it, the fact they have gone in and tried to steal Body and Soul's weekend has soured me on the whole thing. Really **** behavior. The Beyond the Pale site was a depressing shitshow last year, boring and characterless - the opposite of B&S's Ballinlough Castle. No amount of great acts would tempt me back.

Fanirish

In fairness body and soul has actually moved itself to an earlier weekend this year and 2023 than its usual weekend of the midsummer weekend. 2019, 2018, and 2017 it was on between 21-25th of June with a big midsummer/equinox celebration on the Saturday night.
