    Yes,its unbelievable value for £22.50 a ticket.
    Better lineup than alot of the music festivals in my opinion.

    I paid €70 for Beck and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs in the 3Arena of the same week...

    Would have loved to go, it's such an odd pairing of artists.

    Hoping YYYs show up at BBC thing.

    Not a fan of Beck

    Just a point to note. As far as I am aware the time on stage by each act is fairly short e.g.. 30 mins so do not expect hour and a half sets from any act. Check set list.fm for details of previous set times.

    America and UK are having multiple 2 for 1 sales on ticketmaster/live Nation.

    Why with so many low sellings concerts this year do you think Ireland doesn't have it's own sale?

    Because people here are happy to overpay for anything?
    Just look at price for christine and the queens gig in rds!

    Its not just ticketmaster, arent there rumours tesco referred to Ireland as Treasure Island because we give them so much dough.

    They're doing serious advertising of it on BBC radio 6 all day, must be struggling to shift tickets for the Belfast one

    Will have to make sure I get to the start - Father John Misty opening the main stage at 1pm!

    No other details of set times yet as far as I can see. Below from email from ticketmaster.

    WHAT TIME DOES THE EVENT START AND FINISH?

    Doors will open at 12:00 midday, and will finish at around 10:30pm

    The first act on the main stage on Friday 25th May will be Father John Misty and the Ulster Orchestra at 1pm.

    Same here, still no sign. Wouldn’t panic just yet though, wait until the week of the gig!

    I’m just going for the Saturday, looking forward to the new music stage more than main stage I reckon. Superorganism, dream wife & young fathers are my must sees, should be well in the humour for some Underworld by the time they come on though!

    If you ordered them through the app the tickets are actually there. Was worried mine hadn't arrived and then looked at the app and there they were.

    Still haven't got mine either. Hopefully there isn't a delay sending them outside of the UK. It says on the app that they aren't the actual tickets so you can't print them off.
