Could even have our own little super group with Ashcroft, Marr, McKagan and a random drummer.

new album announced today for october! Surely it has to be...

The sooner a crowdfunding solution is cracked to disrupt the promoter cartel for live music in Ireland the better. Nonsense that Wilco have skipped Ireland again.

bennyineire · 17-07-2019 12:48PM

WTF no Radiohead announcement, that's it I'm done

sweetie · 17-07-2019 12:49PM

Yay, Viagra boys and Just Mustard

What is that about? Setlist.fm (not necessarily 100% accurate but usually pretty close to it, I find) lists just 12 Wilco gigs in Ireland since 1996, and just 2 in this decade (Forbidden Fruit 2012 and Iveagh Gardens 2016)!!

Did someone do something to piss off Jeff Tweedy or something!?

17-07-2019 12:54PM

Il have to investigate properly but nothing of interest for me there I think.

Ferris...help a sister out!

Precisely mate!

Its a really really strange one. We get Jeff Solo as regularly as Wilco now.

Those superb back to back shows in Vicar St a long time ago now...

Could Wilco still pop up in the separate B&S Village announcement, you'll never know or are they too big to headline the B&S main stage.

rubick · 17-07-2019 01:06PM

No-one* could have foreseen the Johnny Marr addition!

*everyone

endainoz · 17-07-2019 01:12PM

And after checking out the Richard Ashcroft setlist, it's mostly old verve songs that he does live. Delighted with that, never seen bitter sweet symphony live before. Thought Johnny Marr was excellent at Glastonbury too, some great mid tier acts there. I think we can safely rule out Offspring now, they would have been in this announcement if at all!

Still this beefs up the undercard considerably and has a bit of something for everyone so happy enough with it.

I'm feeling the same looking at the new announcement but will look into some acts more during the week!

Far too big for that I'd have thought

rubick · 17-07-2019 01:23PM

I thought The Verve were decent at Slane back in 1998. Although I was only there for James, who were on at like 1pm. Hung about on the hill anyway. Lot of water under the umbrella since then lads. Not sure about Ashcroft's solo material but might check him out if there's nothing else on.

Really very pleased with these additions, been a while since Richie Hawtin was in Stradbally - that set in Little Big Tent was amazing (although he was late to start I think).

ashcroft for some saturday evening sunny sing-a-long pints please.

hopefully brittany does a lot of alabama shakes too... i dont knwo much of her solo stuff

very good second announcement in my opinion.

looking at jonny marrs recent set list, a nice mix of smiths and solo ... and Hi Hello is very very smiths too

looking forward

Is the Eve on the announcement the rapping Eve from the 00's?

Stillill42 · 17-07-2019 01:30PM

Mildly disappointed with that. Delighted with Johnny of course but that was a given. Nobody else to make my heart flutter just yet. Ye feckers had my hopes up for Wilco.. schoolboy error, I should know better. Ah look, some great Irish stuff there that I'll be happy to see again, I'll give Gerry Cinnamon a whirl, Viagra boys sound promising and lots to do homework on. It'll be grand.

bodhrandude · 17-07-2019 01:39PM

Could Hawtin along with Maceo Plex and Kolsch be for this new dance area, just wondering if it will have its own main stage.

davywalsh7 · 17-07-2019 01:42PM

Did a poster on here say something bout razor light self announcing?

That's a decent call actually - if they are modelling it on Glastonbury's Block9 it could feature a large outdoor area and a couple of smaller indoor rooms.

Indoor rooms? What the f*ck am I on about?!

Lotus Flower · 17-07-2019 01:42PM

Bodega are worth a look

GhostMutt30 · 17-07-2019 01:43PM

Delira with Duff Mckagan

sydthebeat · 17-07-2019 01:44PM

Only spotting maverick sabre in there now.... Nice one!!

They really are.

BadTurtle · 17-07-2019 01:45PM

Its a mediocre year for festival lineups this year IMO. Seems a lot of the triple A class headliners are abroad or doing solo shows.

Tented areas perhaps

:cool:

rubick · 17-07-2019 01:49PM

Indoor rooms, overhead ceilings, vertical walls.
These geniuses think of everything!

I think I speak for us all when I say we would be so happy for bodhrandude if he was announced!!!

I think at this stage we'd need to give BD the 'gimpy' type bumps politicians give each other when they get elected... In the crowd during their set!!
