    2fm are about to ruin my day... That have a "massive announcement for the Rankin Wood stage for the Friday night"... Which will no doubt consist of an assault on the ears.

    Probably the idiot mó k? It it was green maybe she would have announced on her own show today?

    Sadly that wouldn't rank as a big announcement in 2FMs world. Jenny Greene on the other hand...

    When is this Jenny Greene announcement supposed to be?

    they hand out microphones that aren't turned on to the crowd, so everyone can not sing along

    After 2pm today - DJ Mo K in the studio so guessing its him doing a reprise of his show from last year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,516 ✭✭✭BadTurtle


    What's a Mo K?

    Story of hip hop rubbish no doubt

    It’s mad, they change the announcement schedule a tiny bit and now I’m eyeing everything with suspicion.

    This 2fm announcement craic isn’t adding to any of my hype at all at this stage.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 228 ✭✭tonto123


    It's announced,story of hip hop, the dj said she cried at the show last year and the guy did too, óh god pass the bucket

    I am guessing a lot of people cried.

    With all the music out there why have the same show two years in a row. Slope getting slipper by the day.

    Very True

    The sub-headliners are shocking

    Another quick question if ye don’t mind. Eco camping I have 2 friends who now can’t go and I have their codes. Can they be used by someone else or does it have to be names attached?

    That pile of pox story of hip hop was rammed last year. All those fools standing there while young fathers killed it in the next tent. Raging they aren’t playing again this considering they playing all over Europe with massive attack and sold out the Academy earlier this year.

    On the other other hand.... is that an Elvis tribute... I’d be so happy

    I'd be very confident of young father's playing, they will be in Stradbally with Massive Attack so expect that they'll form part of a 3rd main announcement or be a surprise act somewhere over weekend

    Not my type of stuff at all but they were utterly epic and would merrily toddle along to see them again.

    What's the basis for this?

    Young Fathers haven't toured with Massive Attack since 2016 as far as I know. They're playing Electric Fields that weekend so not out of the question but just wondering if I missed something!

    And even looking at Massive Attack's set lists, they play 'Voodoo in my Blood' live but usually without live input from Young Fathers (as per setlist.fm at least!)

    They were definitely playing with them this summer. Maybe just at the festivals they are both booked for? Either way I'd love to catch them if playing missed it last year

    Maybe that was it. I've seen Young Fathers twice this year and there was definitely no sign of Massive Attack at either show, sadly!! :pac:

    I may be unable to attend this year and have a 4 man tent in Pink moon.

    Do they offer refunds on their site does anyone know? i've contacted them through a form on their site and social media and just waiting on a response.

    Not sure about the refund, but you could try sell it on toutless.com?
