    Methinks there is a chance....
    they headlined last year, there is no chance they're playing again this year.

    Facebook feed has confirmed new acts to be announced this Firday
    ...the announcement about the announcement...!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,501 ✭✭✭PabloAndRoy


    I have just been reading that poster again and to be honest, I don't think there is any need for a another announcement.

    Any further choice will be too difficult to take. Its already gonna be clash hell.

    Is Halvin Carris busy that weekend so?

    Major Lazer can f\/ck right off, thank you. We have better things to be doing than putting up with such sh1te.

    You are just trolling us aren't you pony?

    There was a comment earlier in the thrread that the Trinity gig is their only Irish one this year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,501 ✭✭✭PabloAndRoy


    I predict Joe Goddard and LCD Soundsystem and Boards of Canada and Amon Tobin and Celine Dion.

    Its gotta be one of those.

    Black Grape maybe.

    Ryder is touring with d'other band, playing in Leopardstown in mid August.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 63 ✭✭stead


    Carl Cox playing Belfast a few days beforehand. Here's hoping they get him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,570 ✭✭✭showpony1


    Black Grape maybe.

    there'll be sour grapes if Major Laser is actually announced.

    we could get a few more of the bestival line-up?

    I predict a riot......
    :D
    Maybe not! I see there are touring, but would have to be Friday.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,737 ✭✭✭SachaJ


    they headlined last year, there is no chance they're playing again this year.

    They have all the tour dates on their website. The EP weekend is suspiciously free considering the weekends before (Mexico) and after (current start of the European leg).

    It would be lazy, but would anyone actually complain?

    (would be great to see them on a warmish dry night)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,340 ✭✭✭✭MadYaker


    The xx are the Friday night dance act, what are ye on about with major laser and Pete Tong? Neither of them are headlining. There'll be a load more mid tier bands and that's it. The way off the mark speculation on this thread does my nut in sometimes. It's the same people posting the same nonsense every year as well.

    Who was last years dance act? Chemical brothers. We're they in the top stop just like The xx are now? Yes they were. It's really not that complicated.

    Massive disappointment if the XX are the Friday night dance Act. No way they'll hold my interest
