    last shadow puppets seems to be the most reasonable suggestion so far. Based on touring, availability, collaboration, and single band.

    Agree - though it's a bit weird to still refer to them as a collaboration.

    What a letdown. After making the big hullabaloo about the announcement of the announcement we get these substandard acts.

    I'm well happy with that now. It's added another 6-7 acts to my already long list of acts to see.
    Roll on EP 😎

    Skepta & Rejjie Snow added to my must see list from that announcement for me.

    God those 30 acts are a complete let down. Suppose it's what I get for purchasing tickets in advance

    Safe to say they have definitely done it on the cheap this year

    Loads of the "new" acts announced were already on the line-up and playing in red bull, other voices etc. Feel a bit cheated tbh

    Based on the acts announced I reckon the big collaboration will be James morrison and nelly furtado.

    Savage stuff!

    In fairness if you were waiting on an announcement two wks before the festival to make you buy your ticket there's something a miss there!!!

    2fm said its about their involvement in EP too. Don't get your hopes up. It's probably more about their own area in the site

    Considering how much the tickets are, the standard of line up is very disapointing. Makes you wonder where all the money is going

    Well, you know, people showing a bit of a lack of imagination on here. This is the year you'll just havery to work a bit harder to find the pearls. I've already found a pile of stuff I didn't know and am dying to see. Some interesting stuff in the last announcement there too. And just because they're Irish doesn t mean they're ****e. Talos, Elephant, and yes, Bell, why not?

    Off to cry myself a Moon Shaped Pool…

    In all seriousness though, I'm sure we'll all have a good time but we will have to consider things for next year.

    Honestly thought the likes of M83 and Miike Snow who have been absent from all Irish festivals this year would have been a lock here!

    That being said, had I just taken a quick glance over the 2015 and 2014 announcements then I would have known not to get too excited.

    While the announcement is a let down, I have no doubt that I'll have a fantastic time and there's already a few hidden gems that I've found.
