Jus think its a bit late on a Friday for it now, they were taking the mickey 2weeks ago now its just ignorant and bad form especially the nó replies about it to people on fb and twitter

Seems strange for them to release last of the tickets without any sort of marketing hype surrounding it. Very half arsed

I suggest you all buy tickets to knockanstockan to distract you from this debacle, that’s what I’ve done and I’m convinced it’s going to work out perfectly. Surely by the time I’ve sobered up some time on Tuesday EP will have put out a stellar announcement.

Good stuff, your dead right, if I wasnt tied down with life stuff I'd do the same, enjoy and hope u get the weather

And therein lies the problem.....

They'll always sell, plenty of evidence in here that there's heaps of people go purely for the "sesh"

So now we can be pretty certain - the delay is timed to overshadow ATN.  Just when the coverage about ATN will start to crank up next week, EP will release their hounds.  It won't stop people buying tickets to ATN but it will mean that the average punter won't be focussed on ATN and will be talking about EP instead.

I just think 5 weeks out and still no more names is a shambles. ATN or not, its just a joke..

It looks increasingly like the 2nd and 3rd main act announcements are going to be rolled into one. Absolute joke. Giving punters only a couple of weeks to discover and get interested in over half the acts is criminal. I don't know if it's poor planning or just apathy on the part of FR but either way it's not good!

The quality should be decent given that they'll be rolled into one. Even based on the last couple of years where personally i thought the 2nd and 3rd announcements were a bit light... getting them altogether, there's bound to be loads of deadly acts in there.,

Saturday night I heard!

I know we're all complaining now but when the announcement is (eventually) made, this thread will be awash with kickable youths...
I can barely keep up with the thread as is!

I'd have thought that was a given by now. Not enough time left for more than one big announcement.

I just hope the announcement isn't the same week as last year's 3rd announcement., which was the 18th IIRC.

It's more likely with each passing day, but I suspect it'll be Monday or Tuesday next week to get the radio stations and social media hopping and dominating Indiependence and ATN's media coverage.

Yeah doesn't have to be a Friday I suppose. Reckon best way of dominating media coverage is to release 10 acts or so everyday next week along with B&S or OV.

Spot the newbies.....
