    Moderat.....ooooohhhhh that's tempting!

    Hopefully they won't have the same sound problems Modeselektor had in 2019 B&S, but that's a nice announcement, they always put on a good show.

    Hmmm...very underwhelming for me.

    How many more years? How much time is there left? All the rivers reversed while you counted each step.

    Feck it, ticket bought! Raging I didn't go see them in Berlin last summer, so not missing again. Have seen them twice Vicar st, and at the picnic in 2009 or 10 I think, there were less than 200 in the tent at the time!

    Shanti Celeste is well worth catching.

    I think this was the last time they played Ireland in 2017 at Forbidden Fruit. The tent was absolutely packed out and it was hot in there.

    I know this get mentioned every year for B&S but I think it would be brilliant if the festival could procure Bjork, maybe with a scaled down set for the main stage, get her to curate one of the nights like Karin Dreijer did on the Friday of the 2018 edition. Of course, Fanirish will come along and crush my dream in seconds, but I think she would fit the festival although probably not affordable considering she's played EP twice now.

    Well BTP blows this out of the water but my loyalties lie with B&S so here's my picks from this line up.

    Moderat, Berth Orton, Haai, Junior Brother, Kurt Vile & the Violators, Kormac, PSB, Thumper, Tinariwen, Weval, Ye Vagabonds and I'm sure others will be added and some discoveries too.

    Nice to see Kurt Vile added, thought he would be higher up the bill to be honest...overall tho still a little underwhelming. I think I've seen just about every name on that list at festivals in Ireland before.

  • It’s not great and especially comparing to beyond the pale. Going to body and soul this year instead of ep and thinking we should have gone to BTP



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,603 ✭✭✭Dreamweapon


    I'd be curious about the Fabio & Grooverider thing, be a nice change to hear some DnB in Ballinlough. Could be a bit cheesy though!

    Saw Kurt Vile at B&S about 10 years ago, he was ok. Caught him in Vicar St a few years back and it was one of the most boring gigs i've ever been at in my life, apart from 2 or 3 songs in the middle of the gig. Vowed 'never again'.

    Beth Orton, Gwenno, Thumper, Tinariwen. At a push PSB, Kokoroko and Murder Capital. Not the most exciting of music really.

  • But again the majority of them acts are Irish and I can see them in Dublin for circa 20 notes possibly twice a year.

    And I have seen Haai and Moderat I dunno how many times in the last 5 years.

    Body and Soul is like a punch drunk over the hill boxer that should have retired many moons ago.

    I mean Beth Orton, Kurt Vile, Gwenno and Public Service Broadcasting are exactly the type of acts that they should be signing. Plenty of quality in there. More appealing to me this year than the last number of editions.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 266 ✭✭citycentre


    Lots of properly interesting acts on this lineup in a beautiful location and setup. Super excited about Moderat, Tinariwen, Public Service Broadcasting, Beth Orton and Kurt Vile and there's lots of excellent Irish acts that will be great to see on the festival stage. Good to see a properly thought through, well curated selection from Body and Soul.

    That other festival has plenty of great acts I'd like to see too but this wins hands down for me. Just a shame BTP decided to go head to head.

    Of course it's not all about the acts and I doubt, going by last year's slightly shambolic setup, that BTP will ever be able to match the magic of the woodlands and the walled gardens in Ballinlough.

    Alison Goldfrapp and now Fever Ray too... This is shaping up into something really special. Fever Ray is something else live...

    The Blaze, wow!!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,532 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    Ah man, I'm so jealous. Would love to see Fever Ray again. Guessing that means no other Irish gig for a while



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,684 ✭✭✭Fanirish




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,359 ✭✭✭Stillill42


    This is starting to look really interesting. Nice core of stuff I'd already be interested in, PBS, Gwenno, Murder Capital, Kurt Vile, Junior Brother, Beth Orton etc. but also, for a primarily guitar kind of guy, there are some intriguing acts just over the Electronica border that I'd be interested in having a look at, Fever Ray, Alison Goldfrapp, the Blaze surely amongst the most interesting acts that have been dropped on the long suffering Irish public in 2023. Plus I've never been, site, vibe, crowd sound cool. We'll wait to see what ATN and EP come up with but this is certainly a runner now. Glad to see it back in the conversation. Fair play.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,603 ✭✭✭Dreamweapon


    The Blaze are dreadful. Their set at B&S a few years back was one of the worst i've ever endured.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,359 ✭✭✭Stillill42


    Ha! Fair play Dreamweapon!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23 Norasheen


    Sarcasm, surely? That was one of the best gigs I've been to, ever

    Body and Soul is really heating up now, looking forward to seeing what else is left to be announced, trying to chose between BTP and B&S still like a few people, have been 4 previous times so leaning this way now again particularly with the lineup additions, B&S was great last year and always an amazing overall experience.
