Strange that they have no rinse down areas. I would've imagined it would be a Health & Safety requirement.

NEW: 'Stradbally', from Lynx. Sticks to places you didn't realise you had.

Just went in to get the Thursday Entry tickets on TM.
Saying none available. Will more go back on sale do any of ye know? I thought I got them the week before last year..

Jeez, that's weird. I didn't think they would ever sell out. Wonder how many are issued?

They took them off sale as well last year and put them back up the week before.

Thanks a mil. Will keep an eye out closer to the time.

I really hope otherkin do another set elsewhere, bound to be a clash at their Salty dog gig.

Galway Friday night out in Neachtains. Paul Hartnoll and sound engineer Erica sat down at our table. Had five pints with them. Sound people. Big Irish festival news, but alas not EP.

Did you hear if they are Waterford bound for next weekend.

Yep. Confirmed. Announced after tomorrow's gig here.

No way. There'll be a lot of happy people over in the ATN thread.

Yeah. It'll probably be announced on Monday. Told him I'd not put it on FB but he said no problem elsewhere. My pal Dermot and I had five beers with him and the engineer. Very chatty, very sound. He loved the 2012 EP gig. Happy to be delayed by The Cure. Hates Brexit. Nothing to dislike.

Yep. Wrong festival for me. Good for my pals headed south.

5 pints well done


But seriously!! What an ATN up the sleeve!! We talk about EP announcements coinciding with ATN weekend, but this is a serious unleash I'm jealous AF!

Yeah, it utterly overwhelms the second EP announcement whatever your musical taste. FR have more up their sleeve but this is very clearly an ATN coup.

And was a good three hour chat. I didn't recognise him until he started chatting and he was left alone by the pub goers bar a pal of a pal from Fermanagh who identified him. I also didn't know his wife was from Dublin. He loves the gigs here. And tomorrow will be a blast.

A question for the fine discriminating music minds here. Is Daithi good live? He's supporting Orbital tonight but is also playing a late show at the Roisin Dubh with a live band and a few collaborators (Elaine Mai, Paul Noonan, etc). Worth going to?

Yup he's decent enough stuff can get a good party going, I just have the one clip from EP.

Not a ringing endorsement. Sounds like seeing the support slot is enough. Atmosphere in the Roisin should be good though. Booka Shade doing a late live set at Monroe's also.

have seen him twice with incredibly small crowds both times, very good in fairness but i personally would prefer if he kept to just mixing on stage and not bother with trying to add the live violin into his music, seems a bit forced and doesnt add anything for me

In fairness picnic probably have more up their sleave too, given the prodigy was announced just as ATN began last year, just to steal a bit on thunder on social media. These last minute big name announcements is usually made out as a gesture but really it's to boost early ticket sales for next year,
