Clark ... excellent, really loved him in B&S couple of years back. Banging! ...

.. other than that, All Tvvins is good news.

And I suppose Kila will be pretty decent in the sun on the main stage in the afternoon (this could be the boards meet uo, in front of the sound desk

Dreadful announcement today. ...skatalites were the only bit of comfort. ....curious about touts also

GidCudi · 18-08-2017 11:54AM

Mr. Jukes sounds like decent late afternoon listening. Le Galaxie always bring a good time. Was hoping to catch Le Boom and Talos so having an extra chance to do just that is good with me.

Lots of filler...exactly what is expected in the final announcement so never had my hopes up.

Nobodys Heroes nothing to do with SLF sadly. They played Longitude . Funk inspired band.

Back to teenage kicking

Synergism · 18-08-2017 11:55AM

Very meh. Wasn't expecting any big names but was hoping for something to add a bit more excitement. You'd see 90% of those acts at most Irish festivals this summer.

thebusher · 18-08-2017 11:56AM

Sitting here smiling and laughing looking at Touts covering Gloria at the Nerve Centre Derry.

Gonna be some set in a tent at the picnic!

Just watched some of their stuff, excellent, what The Strypes want to be but never will have that proper **** on attitude.

The Spook of the Thirteenth Lock

Tier 2
Beoga /// Bears Den /// Aldous Harding /// Elbow /// Duran Duran

At least the facebook comments will be entertaining

PabloAndRoy · 18-08-2017 12:09PM

facebook response is surprisingly subdued ... maybe they are all nursing their Leaving Cert hangovers still.

Top comment so far:

"Two weekend camping tickets for sale pm me"

Blackie_IRL · 18-08-2017 12:10PM

There's enough on that announcement to keep me happy.

Being of a certain age I was a teenager during the height of the Seattle/Nirvana scene so I have a lot of appreciation for what Fangclub offer, their debut album is really good.

I'm also a big Bombay Bicycle Club fan and the Mr Jukes album has been on rotation last few weeks, a real grower, lots to like on it. Defo worth checking out.

Tale of Us will rock the LBT no doubt, anyone who appreciates progressive house music will enjoy what they have to offer.

sent the video on to my son, he's playing a punk festival this weekend, i think The Touts are about to get a lot of new fans.

Ferris_Bueller · 18-08-2017 12:31PM

Pretty much what was to be expected from the final announcement. Talos, Le Galaxie, King Kong Company, Le Boom, Tiga, Tale of Us all worth checking out for me. Will have to look into some of the acts recommended from here. At least we can start making our lists now!

I presume the red bull area won't exist this year?

ianeglington · 18-08-2017 12:45PM

quick question!! on the clashfinder, how does whoever made it know the times for some acsts?

I won't bother with Clashfinder till at least that week. It'll change right up to the last minute.

I've put in a few on days and stages that i know (or hope )they're playing on, times are just a wild guess.
to do it, login on the desktop version and go to -I want to- and pick edit data.

Absolutely almost definitely certainly.

That app was ridiculously helpful. Fair play to you.

And this kind of behaviour is exactly why I never release the app before the clashfinder is well advanced. If acts change stage, it breaks the app in that you will lose some of your itinerary/reminders (boring technical reason: due to the fact that the JSON object identifier changes). App will be released probably Wednesday night before festival.

In fairness to EP, their own app was pretty useful last year.

start getting them on to save a bit of work later.
