Are you down in advance for the week before the festival too, because if your just a festival punter there is usually Electric Picnic citylink buses going from the Coachpark in Galway.

Oh right , thanks! I haven't went from galway before, usually going from dundalk.

Was listening to a Late Night TuffGuy track on the Spotify Playlist last night and it was very cool.

there will definitely be another announcement. Tiga is playing and isn't on the lineup (and he'll probably have a fairly decent slot. presumably he was also told that the announcement would be Monday, and that's why it went up on his Facebook/Spotify pages that night).
Le Galaxie very much seem to be hinting that they're playing (probably told it would be announced Monday too), and there aren't enough acts on the main lineup to fill out the 3 days.

this year there are 58 acts announced for the 5 main stages, last year 89 played those stages.

So 31 acts with Tiga included to be announced, interesting.

The total number of acts has been shrinking for the last few years IIRC so maybe not that many

i always think it's kind of pointless putting tracks in a Playlist by an artist when they're just DJing. I suppose it gives a vague flavour of their style, but you're usually better off finding them on Soundcloud for some mixes.

Anyone want two free tickets to happy Mondays on tomorrow in Leopardstown? Tickets in Swords.

Call it a warm up for the E.P. :)

PM me

No thanks, the crew I work for are taking us to that for our "summer party", my manager is over from the UK for it.

I ****ing hate the goddamned happy **** mondays with an utter passion only reserved for loofah faced fascist **** gibbons and Rupert Murdoch.

Wow - literally you're the first person that I've ever heard say they actively hate them - each to their own as I always say - nothing worse than being dragged to something you dont like at all.

I really like them myself and will be there - I''ll look for the person skulling free pints and shots but still looking unhappy ;)

It's dropped by 5/6 acts year on year.
So instead of 31 it'll be around 25, if F.R. are keeping up their cheapskate ways.

What they are doing is recycling acts. There were a good few playing two stages last year. A bit of cross over between B&S, OV and smaller main arena stages and

I'll have to check them out. Le Freak and Dublin Ukulele Collective are fun additions too.

Would it not be likely they would play some of their own stuff?

That's always happened.
The OV and B&S line ups are different to the main arena (even if there is cross over).
Take a look at the number of acts listed under the 'main arena' for the last 5 years, and the number listed has dropped year on year.

Former Former · 17-08-2017 01:09PM

Dublin Ukulele Collective are a good addition, perfect early-Sunday-wandering-around fare

Looks like its true about FR reducing the line up, they've split Kelly-Anne Byrne into two acts.

Oh my god these acts are terrible, who the hell listens to this rubbish? are all the people going in their 90s? I've never even heard of any of these bands!

Interflow? who the hell are they? Sounds like a toilet unblocker!

Elbow? Jesus, they're ancient! even me da never heard of them.

Me and Jacanita were hoping for some good music, like why have they not got Mike Posner or Calvin Harris!

I'm so worried about what's hapenin' today, in the middle east, you know
And I'm worried about the baggage retrieval system they've got at Heathrow
I'm so worried about the fashions today, I don't think they're good for your feet
And I'm so worried about the shows on TV that sometimes they want to repeat

I'm so worried about what's happenin' today, you know
And I'm worried about the baggage retrieval system they've got at Heathrow
I'm so worried about my hair falling out and the state of the world today
And I'm so worried about bein' so full of doubt about everything, anyway

I'm so worried about modern technology
I'm so worried about all the things that they dump in the sea
I'm so worried about it, worried about it, worried, worried, worried
