That's a great line-up. Idles, Shame, Fontaines D.C. and Murder Capital seem to be travelling as a pack this Summer. If I got that lot at Alltogethernow or E.P., I'd be ecstatic.

Would love to see some guitar bands there this year. They'd be a perfect booking.

Is that line-up (or part of it) not already doing Iveagh Gardens?

Think it's just Idles and Rolling Blackouts coastal fever?
But yeah, they all appear to be mates, Fontaines and Murder Capital supported Shame in Dublin, Fontaines and Shame have both supported Idles I think. All great live bands in their own right and would all be good additions to the bill.

Grace Jones is in the UK the same weekend. Another potential lazy booking from POD I reckon.

Not sure about lazy. Guess logistically and financially it makes sense to get acts playing nearby at same time. Didn't she headline EP a few years back? Wouldn't be a huge fan but relatively big act

I'm a fan of POD festivals but they just seem to re-use the same international acts over and over again between Forbidden Fruit, Metropolis and now ATN.

Did she play FF or Metropolis before? Didn't realise that. I guess a lot of festivals do particularly starting out

dmm82 · 05-02-2019 10:20pm

Jose Gonzalez is playing in the UK on Thursday 1st. Would be happy to see him being added

BadTurtle · 05-02-2019 10:55pm

Saw him at Longitude a few years ago early on a hungover sunday, very good gig.

marvin80 · 06-02-2019 11:17am

Heard some rumours at the weekend that the festival wouldn't be going ahead - anyone else hear anything?

maximoose · 06-02-2019 11:17am

Based on what?

Highly doubt that's true

Could this be Castlepalooza you speak of?

They came out today saying that they won't go ahead with 2019.

But yeah it'd be a pity if ATN didn't go ahead.

SoundOfSilence · 06-02-2019 11:30am

Complete horsehite if i ever heard it. With them announcing a headliner and due to announce the 1st part of the lineup in 2 weeks...

Am I right in thinking they planned to move it to May bank holiday weekend this year? Wonder were they trying to avoid clashing with ATN. Guess only other festival on August bh weekend is Indiependence so tickets for ATN will be more in demand this year..

Just heard it from a friend of a friend - I'd be very surprised as well considering how popular it was last year.

If POD are block booking artists I really hope we'll see RY X at ATN.

Yeah I quite like his stuff. Getting impatient for lineup even though festival isn't for months!

BullBlackNova · 06-02-2019 12:27pm

If we're taking a few from Forbidden Fruit, I'd be hoping for Peggy Gou, Maribou State and Kojaque too. Would expect Kojaque to be included in an early/mid-summer announcement after FF is over really as part of a strong Irish contingent with the likes of Saint Sister, Fontaines DC, Just Mustard, Wyvern Lingo and maybe someone like Talos.

Other than that, I think it's just Jon Hopkins that I'd want added from the FF bill.

Must say I'm quite excited about the line-up announcement. There doesn't seem to be any really obvious acts lined up, no solid rumours and since it's only the 2nd edition of the festival, it's quite tricky to work out trends or overlaps with other festivals. Could be a total surprise on the 19th.

The Nal · 06-02-2019 12:30pm

llatsni · 06-02-2019 12:32pm

Maribou State were unreal-good at ATN 2018 – Holly Walker was mesmerising. Talos too.

I'm a huge fan but Jon Hopkins was *utterly* underwhelming at Vicar St. last year. Same goes for Four Tet @ FF. Put me off kind of terrible.

Eod100 · 06-02-2019 12:32pm

Was there ever a date announced for the lineup btw? Their replies to FB comments says mid February so could be 14th or 15th next week then..

Wasn't there some crazy technical difficulties at that show? Wiring problems causing an issue for sound and visual elements of the show?

Anyway, with the National already lined up, I'll have at least one act to catch over the weekend. From there, I'm happy with whatever!

For anyone who was there last year - I understand it's Five Lamps and Bulmers are the drinks partners. Is it a range of Five Lamps stuff or just lager? Translation... how many cans do I need to bring with me so that I don't have to buy anything? :P

maximoose · 06-02-2019 1:11pm

Just Five Lamps lager from what I remember

I probably bought less than 5 pints the entire weekend. Freeflow cans is wonderful.

I was there too. Hands down one of the best electronic gigs I've been to and really enjoyed him showcasing Singularity, one of the best Electronic Albums of the last decade. Made a pact with myself after the gig to never miss one of his sets in Ireland again.

Different strokes for different folks.

His visuals failed a bit sporadically at the start so he paused the gig, apologized and turned them off. It didn't matter. The display set up in Vicar Street is amateur at best. Everything else, including the sound, was perfect.

It's mad the way that can happen alright. Dunno what was off for me but I just felt no energy from him, despite being a megafan.

Ah Marvin, no need. That might get you an aul bansy.

ghostdancer · 06-02-2019 1:38pm

I thought that Jon Hopkins gig was poor as well. By far the worst out of the several times I've seen him. Very short set (70mins of music), and re-played whatever track he stopped for with those visuals problems.

Yeah I guess there's many factors that influence a person's perception of a gig or event. For me, the stars aligned!

Considering i got so wrecked at his EP set a few years before (that i can't couldn't remember a thing) i took this one handy with work the next day and was enthralled by the set from start to finish, and sober too!

SteelyDanJalapeno · 06-02-2019 1:59pm

I seen Hopkins the night after in Glasgow and he was great, visuals and sound also bang on.
Possibly just an off night in Vicar St

Bless. Everyone getting tetchy as the announcement looms. Marvin to be banned from the kingdom of Alltogethernow, never to darken the townland of Portlaw for the rest of eternity. Nal for the comedy tent.

There was another small bar near the house/gardens area where the spoken word tents were that had an 'All Together Now' Pale Ale? Unbranded like. And some other non lagers (maybe the other 5 lamps range), but I can't quite remember what...! I sank a fair few of the ATN Pale Ales, it was good, and slightly cheaper than the other non-lagers.

Also the beefeater stall and the Jameson stall we're near there.

lack of big international acts or diversity of musical genres. Don't get me wrong theres 6/7 acts I like playing but they're spread pretty thin

Dear ATN ...
More of this please this year !!

The top two lines are all big international acts (as far as i'm aware they're all from the UK)

But I agree with your other points.

Personally I think it's a great rock lineup for a tiny price.

I do think something needs to be done with making irish fests more affordable, with my EP loyalty ticket i have this @ 155 euro.

But ATN is quite expensive and doesn't deliver money wise to the consumer imo.

What does everyone else think?

It all depends what Beatyard comes up with this year, their lineup was pretty amazing last year.
