Kraftwerk tomorrow for the late night slot

I doubt it, but I hope I'm wrong.

Reggie noble · 12-07-2018 07:26AM

It’s probably just Eoghan himself doing something at it , like presenting the rte coverage again or some scutter DJ slot

Didn’t your man on today FM pull the same stunt two years ago

I'd be hoping for Arctic Monkeys personally.

Sold out their two gigs in the Point & the times align.

Edit: no doubt some ubiquitous homegrown fare.

I hope you're right, about AM, not ubiquitous homegrown talent, but the Arctic Monkeys are expensive. I'd think the budget is gone on Kendrick and N.E.R.D

Doesn't he present it for RTE? He's not a DJ, can't see what he'd be doing there.

At kraftwerk last night. Unreal

In relation to eoghan McDermott...that fills me with fear

Niall Horan

Stillill42 · 12-07-2018 07:33AM

Eoghan McDermott presents classic slow set tracks of the 80s with the Tullamore CBS transition year brass band.

ricerocket · 12-07-2018 07:36AM

If Eoghan McDermott said it, must be an Irish act - 99% sure its Hozier (meh)

I wouldn’t call Phil Cawley a DJ either and he pulled the same stunt before

If it’s coming from Eoghan either way it’s going to be dung

I’ve an awful fear it’ll be Picture this or Aslan.

Neither are "headline level". Hozier (I predicted weeks ago) isn't either, but he'd be a bigger worldwide name than either of the two you mentioned.
Whoever said Niall Horan owes me new underpants.

tonto123 · 12-07-2018 07:50AM

jesus if lana del ray can headline surely hozier isnt far off

tonto123 · 12-07-2018 07:51AM

seen them a few times over the last few years, and as good as they are, they're 100% not a late-night main stage act at EP IMO. the live show is very slow and serious.
plus their Marquee gig yesterday was with Aiken, so very unlikely they're booked by FR...

oi! leave my lana alone! (well someone has to love her!)
fond memories of getting lashed on and singing along
with crying girls that were young enough to be my kids!

whatever you think of her, shes a global superstar
Hozier had his moment but they are not in the same category,

I thought her set was absolutely cracking, really enjoyed it.

totally wet by the end of it though.... it was also raining...

Poorside · 12-07-2018 11:06AM

Bought the early entry tickets, only a tenner extra for the podpads is a steal,

Well that's how us fancy, schmancy, measuring dates in weeks away rather than "sleeps, kinda people roll!

BadTurtle · 12-07-2018 02:34PM

Kraftwerk were brilliant last night, enjoyed the show more than their Longitude headliner slot, shows what a tuned in audience can do, atmosphere was much more upbeat.
