Body & Soul Festival 2019

Lamb would be fantastic too!

The lineups have really been weak the last few years (still a great festival though), so not going to get up any kind of hope or expectation before tonight. I'd say there have only been around 4 acts I have recognised at the time for the last 3 years going by the posters above. I saw them reply to a comment on facebook a few weeks ago saying they have never been about the big names, which is true, but wouldn't fill you with confidence ahead of the announcement..

It was only really 2012-2014 that had strong lineups, every other year has been fine to relatively weak.

Hurry up time and get to the fcuking lineup.

johnnyskeleton · 26-02-2019 07:26PM

Any ideas how to access the "listening party"? I can't see any link to it on twitter or on their website. I also realise I'm a sucker for the marketing to buy into it, but sure what can you do?

It's their rather grandiose way of saying they will broadcast the lineup in audio rather than just give us a lineup poster like other festivals. Similar to the EP launch party I assume!

Very excited ðŸ˜€ Should we be listening to something?

IspeakcozIcan · 26-02-2019 08:05PM

Just sitting here reloading their Twitter page.... Come on!

I reckon us crazy refreshers should have been given an invite to this...

Ferris_Bueller · 26-02-2019 08:15PM

You really have to wonder the point in having a listening party when nobody can listen to you!

Edit: looks like a live feed on their instagram page maybe?

johnnyskeleton · 26-02-2019 08:16PM

Why would they tell us that they would announce at 7, only to tell us that they are having an exclusive party (i.e. we are not invited) at 7pm, and that when they've had their fun we will be privileged enough to see them after.

Anyone around the Big Romance to press their noses up against the glass?

Peesh89 · 26-02-2019 08:16PM

Live video on Instagram at the mo..

bodhrandude · 26-02-2019 08:17PM

**** sake WHERES THE FECKING LINEUP?

bodhrandude · 26-02-2019 08:20PM

WHERE IS THE FECKING LINEUP?

IspeakcozIcan · 26-02-2019 08:21PM

They just said on Twitter there is no live stream. This was not well organised....

Ferris_Bueller · 26-02-2019 08:22PM

They did but they are live streaming it on Instagram now, nobody announced yet.

Lotus Flower · 26-02-2019 08:25PM

I wonder who got invited to the exclusive listening party, probably a load of bloggers and "influencers" who don't give a crap about music

IspeakcozIcan · 26-02-2019 08:26PM

I can't seem to find it on their page. I don't have an instagram account so maybe I can't view it.

Ferris_Bueller · 26-02-2019 08:29PM

Really emphasizing that the festival isn't just about the music here :pac: The first 30 mins have been spent talking about the ethos of the festival.

IspeakcozIcan · 26-02-2019 08:29PM

A few pics now circulating on Twitter now... The listening party looks very nice I must say!

bodhrandude · 26-02-2019 08:29PM

So who's playing dudes?

Arne_Saknussem · 26-02-2019 08:30PM

Do you have a link for instagram feed, i'm being a moron and can't find it

You don't need an instagram account to view instagram. You do need one to look at stories. What's the harm in signing up for that reason?

SteHam · 26-02-2019 08:33PM

A lot of talk of the festival and how its unique. Kind of saying, yeah we're sorry the music is going to be **** but here's some yoga
