What's cocktail cocktail or is it obivious?

This mess - http://www.vfestival.com/attractions/cocktail-cocktail/

Rigor Mortis · 09-08-2016 01:16PM

It was a cocktail bar, located close to the Electric Ireland tent last year. At the risk of sounding like a douche (and I don't really care if I do), describing what they were serving as cocktails would be like sweeping the floor of a pig slaughterhouse, cooking the sweepings and serving it up as Sirloin steak.*

*May be an exaggeration.

Id be massively in favour of doing away with the fun fair and the cocktail abomination and putting Arcadia in its place. Id happily pay more for my ticket.

scruff monkey · 09-08-2016 01:29PM

Ah, look, it keeps the kiddies happy, it's away from the main stages, it's not the biggest offender.

fun fair needs a nuking though, it's just there to eat up the empty space.

Moderat have just been announced for Metropolis which rules them out of EP i guess.

DJ Shadow, Grace Jones, Girl Band, Sugarhill Gang announced also.

That's a really nice line up start.

Reggie noble · 09-08-2016 02:12PM

Am I the only person who likes the new DJ Shadow one. Reviews are all pretty damning .. particularly like the Nils Frahm collaboration.

MJohnston · 09-08-2016 02:18PM

Tried to get tickets last year, but their tiering ticket system was a pure rip off, so I gave up.

no, it's still pretty clean(ish), just approaching ten years old and more than a little ragged in places and the zip is ... sticky

10 years - fair play, you did well with that one! Many more happy EPs with the new one!

Once the date is confirmed? Maybe they are considering moving the date to midweek to fit around Radiohead's schedule. It's a flawless logic.

Are we discussing the Metropolis festival on the EP thread now, might as well talk about Electric Picnic in the Metropolis thread then ha ha.

Where are the lower tier interesting acts like Low Anthem, John Grant, Benjamin Clemantine, Explosions in the Sky, who all played afternoon or early evening when first there. Or the heritage acts like Family Stone, George Clinton, Gil Scott Heron, Jimmy Cliff.

Bit of a logistical problem there.

I'd only 2 questions , right back to EP so . The EP lineup is ****e and all the announcements the last week are dung .
Oh and I hate the cocktail place

If that announcement metropolis made today was an EP announcement would it cheer up a few people here?

Each of those acts would be an excellent addition.

I never got the Girl Band thing until I saw them at B&S this year and I really enjoyed them. Great live band.

Agree , I think most of them would be class additions for me anyway

The crowd was great, no problems at all. Music over at 12am on the Saturday and 11:30pm on the Sunday.

Definitely, would love to see Moderat, missed them at the Picnic in 2009 whiich was supposed to been amazing, I think they played late on Sat night/Sun morning in the Little Big Tent which was apparently rammed instead I was looking at 2ManyDJs on the main stage which was OK but not amazing. Caught Moderat in 2014 at Vicar St, a great gig.

Best live band in Ireland. Was blown away watching them (twice) at Picnic last year.

First time I'd seen 2ManyDJs and thought they were great. Still haven't heard anyone mix farm animals into their set since :pac:
