They were incredible.

Rigor Mortis · 08-03-2018 09:51PM

They really were. Devil pulls the strings was incredible.

BaZmO* · 08-03-2018 10:08PM

Well their American tour looks like it starts March 15th and runs all the way to August 18th, and it seems to travel west to east. So it's a definite possibility.

They were fantastic...a real highlight.

My two cents on headliners we might get. In the last 2 years, I've seen only 2 headliners (LCD in 2016 & ATCQ last year). As has been said a million times, plenty of other acts to see.

If we got Vampire Weekend, Arctic Monkeys or Kendrick Lamar, that would be fine. Would love a proper rock band though!
My spirits would be dampened if I saw Snow Patrol or Florence and her machine announced.

There are alot of brilliant second tier acts that have been announced at other festivals in Ireland this year that worries me more as EP won't have them

On the other, it could also mean they can be lazy because they know the festival will sell out regardless.

I guess we'll see.

This years tickets are sold on the strength of last years line up / festival. So even if it sells out on saturday, they cant be complaicent because a poor line up this yeae means it might not sell out next year

You're a big sausage fan then.

Why wouldn't they sell the tickets before the lie up is announced though? Wouldn't you? Ireland's now flagship festival, regardless of line up it will sell out.

People seem to forget that Festival Republic is a business first and foremost

Mike Guide 69 · 09-03-2018 09:43AM

As a previous poster mentioned, does anyone know if tickets for Sunday will be on sale as well??

Arctic Monkey released more dates ending with Sziget on Aug 14th, surely they are a certainty

SoundOfSilence · 09-03-2018 11:52AM

I'd bet my right testicle on arctic monkeys and Kendrick Lamar being headliners.

.....and now to find someone who will take that bet

Would love to see Arctic Monkeys - like a lot of their tunes & have never seen them live.

Odd they sell tickets first, let alone the final the batch of them before an act is even announced. doesn't seem to happen at any other festivals on the continent

They've only starting doing this recently enough

Glastonbury. Britain still qualifies as part of this continent, no?

Hozier just made a kinda cryptic statement on Facebuke. Surely he’s a contender?

If they've spent 5 months on an American tour they won't pop over to stradbally to finish off the tour. Not worth it

But it could be the start of a European tour.

davywalsh7 · 09-03-2018 07:28PM

Wonder are alt j possible? Seem to be touring right up to the picnic

ghostdancer · 09-03-2018 07:55PM

could be one for the line below headliners, yeah. seem to be playing everywhere, and loads of festivals, yet no Irish date at all.

Stick him in the church and let the air out.

He can then sing ‘innnfaaaate the church’ etc .....

Furious-Red · 09-03-2018 09:30PM

If AM do play i really hope there is someone better on the other stages , Seen them twice now and have to say they bored me to tears especially there last EP gig.

Thriving I'd argue. Always has a couple of dozen impressive acts and adding great new stages every year. Sure, there are definite criticisms of the corporate stuff, but EP not giving up anytime soon. Plenty of room in the calendar for them, ATN, B&S and the other fests.
