Remember the old days, pre-heatwave, when we all used get along? Damn heat.

Speaking of it being hot in the city, how brilliant would it be if Billy Idol was on the next announcement?

Although at this stage it might be an old man singing Billy Idol songs...

The guy who left Duran Duran disgusted that Simon le Bon didn't sound like an out of shape old man would love this

Billy Idol was on some show recently. He sounds good still and looks pretty good.

eplady2017 · 01-07-2018 08:42PM

Hopefully they just spring the announcement on us tomorrow.. No heads up, catch us off guard..

A Ninja announcement, I like it.
Be better if they did it at 4:11am.

I think Blossoms will be announced , touring basically all of Europe in October and no sign of an irish date anywhere. Would be a great addition. In terms of Gerry Cinnamon he played here in June but would also love him at EP , lets hope

I'm still putting my money on A-HA..

Davydeath · 02-07-2018 10:48AM

George Fitzgerald playing UK live dates in around EP. great recent album. here's hoping we know more this week anyway

Wooderson · 02-07-2018 10:58AM

They need to get King Gizz down.

you've been round long enough to know to go to toutless, we'll have no selling in here.

Ferris_Bueller · 02-07-2018 06:46PM

It's getting to the point where I have no excitement for the next announcement.. Not many appealing names being thrown around and it's hard to guess who will be in the next announcement. Surely they could do with a few sub headliners anyway, it would make sense I guess if it was someone who has recently had a gig in Ireland hence the delayed announcement. Me must be close to getting an announcement every week now, only what 8 weeks to go and we are expecting Main Arena announcements (x2), Casa Bacardi, Other Voices, Body & Soul, Anachronica, Hazel Wood, Comedy, Jerry Fish, Trailer Park.. That is more than one a week at this rate. I reckon Casa Bacardi will be next to announce.

02-07-2018 06:51PM

I can’t believe there’s still nothing

Maybe the big reveal is that they have reduced it to one stage with 13 acts a day on it. Or that the 40 odd bands announced to date are it and they are each playing 4 hour monster sessions on the 10 odd stages!

Kendrick Lamar noon till 4pm on the saturday. Garbage to close etc

Blackie_IRL · 02-07-2018 07:39PM

Hard to know why there's no 2nd main stage announcement unless they have decided to just make one more large announcement. IIRC there used to be 4 main announcements which was then reduced to 3 in recent years. Maybe it's going to be just 2 this year.

bodhrandude · 02-07-2018 08:36PM

My guess is they must have something quite special for the next announcement if they have been delaying it this long, perhaps Roger Waters ha ha.

scruff monkey · 02-07-2018 09:04PM

Waters would be unlikely but epic and the dates fit, after last week, I’d merrily watch that show again.

Absolutely no chance. We can only dream of someone this calibre.

Rigor Mortis · 02-07-2018 10:39PM

Lads, we will get our announcement as soon as Thom Yorke says its ok.

We have mr lemur. That is very much in that ballpark

Blackie_IRL · 03-07-2018 08:40AM

Is Waters playing any festivals on this tour or just stand alone gigs?

He's playing Electric Picnic

kg703 · 03-07-2018 08:51AM

His gig in the 3arena was epic

haitens · 03-07-2018 09:13AM

Festival Republic face a big backlash over Finsbury Park gigs in London. Huge queues for the bar, toilets, water, and problems exiting the venue. They are facing a fair bit of criticism at the moment.

thebusher · 03-07-2018 09:16AM

Zero chance of them playing but anyine listening to the Rolling Blackouts C.F album Hope Downs?

Bloody brilliant. Would be right up some streets on here.
