    M83 would have been a nice addition.

    Happy with Skepta being added.

    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?

    To be fair I could go and see a load of these acts throughout the year handily enough. The line up isnt completely terrible but it is a bit underwhelming.

    Setting Son & Let Forever Be - two big collaborations with Noel Gallagher. Though they'd have to come on stage with him on Sat as he's playing in Wales on the Friday. And that sounds tricky with their set-up.

    Plug in sequencer and press play?
    Visuals? Design?

    If it's a 2fm "Dj" announcing something exciting, it's usually a bunch of 2fm "Dj"s on the jolly to an event and we should all be jolly excited for them as they're better than us and prettier than us and have more interesting lives than us.

    Totes, Mmmm'kay?

    Adam Beyer is the only one I'm interested in.

    Although I'll be so wrote off after seeing him that I would have missed Radiohead, PJ Harvey and David Bowie if they were playing.

    So I guess it's a win.

    I thought this was a joke tbh.

    Ya know, it might actually be ok.
    i won't be going to it, but it sounds interesting, with the orchestra doing classic dance tunes n all

    Lot of filler, and bands that had already been booked for other areas.

    Brian Deady is good and new jackson too.

    I'm off to do my homework now on the ones i don't know.

    I don't see Dublin gospel choir anywhere? I assume they are playing Sunday lunchtime lie always

    They are a great uplifting start to the day. Really recommend them if people havnt gone to them before

    I've a feeling we are being messed with here and another announcement is happening today. All the other ones were around lunch time this is very early. And did the coronas not say they were playing no sign of them yet.
