Check out the #madcoolfestival tweets - people queueing 90 mins in 30 degree heat to get in with no shade, water or toilets available - and then another hour or so for beer once they are in. Sounds like a bit of a disaster

Their efestival forum . Looks a dire shambles

Just seen this, apparently it was venues decision not organiser

As far as I know, this was in the Bernard Shaw, which has many different ethnicities/races playing gigs from week to week, so I'd be surprised if it's racism, like she claims. The main bouncer there, who has been there for years, is black himself, so security being racists is probably not likely.
From their tweet, it just seems like she was acting like an arsehole, and going on her tweets in general, she seems like a complete arsehole.

The only racism is when she calls Irish people "filthy f*ing animals"

Alt-J tour dates are running up to August 29th in Italy. Look pretty likely to me.

He did have a go at one of them but they shouldn’t have been allowed carry on like that.

What were they doing?

retrofest · 13-07-2018 11:57AM

Was hoping DMA's would be on the second poster but got announced for Button Factory this morning

ghostdancer · 13-07-2018 11:57AM

I'll have to check that out :pac:

although Mano Le Tough is a bit of a knobhead from people I know that know him. the crowd at AVA seems full of knobs too though.

in that Sunil Sharpe video, someone touches the turntable at 24:00 and throws the beats out, and he has to tell them off, although he kind of laughs it off.

Lads, we somehow missed the Trinity Orchestra self announcing for the Heineken stage... We're slipping.

It’s was one of those Boilerroom live broadcasts and there was a load of gurning teenagers bouncing off him. One of them tried to rest his phone on the decks to take a picture of the crowd and he snapped at him.

There should’ve been someone there to provide the said kicks to said teenagers.

I see Louise McSharry included half the Anachronica line up on her set list for the Royals and Harry loved it. Watch out for mysterious ginger raver of aristocratic bearing with hot excitable gfriend with American accent and social conscience wandering around Stradbally woods late at night.

Well that’s one to avoid, thanks for that.

Ferris_Bueller · 13-07-2018 12:25PM

Is the Heineken stage not the Electric Arena? I can't imagine them in the sound atlas anyway.

So far who do we have self announced then, Trinity Orchestra, Ejeca.. Was sure there were one or two more?

Don’t think I’ve ever heard it called that, sound atlas might be a bit small for them though.

Surely to Christ the second announcement is today

Tbh I dont think it will with Longitude being on this weekend. Here's hoping I'm wrong though!

I’ve said it before, it’s the hope that eventually gets you.

tonto123 · 13-07-2018 12:37PM

i have been thinking that the past 2 fridays... the fact they announced the rave in the woods line up yesterday makes me think there probably wont be another announcment today....

It's beyond a joke at this point.

I'm guessing there won't be a third announcement and they'll just bung it all into one second announcement.
