Pitching tents well into the AM sounds pretty bad.

Glad you got sorted though despite being there for almost two hours. Jeez.

Yeah, we were incredibly lucky. We thought our delay was bad until we started hearing from friends being kicked off buses, buses being turned away etc.

Okay folks, let's forget the main stage. Who do you think is headlining and sub-headlining the Electric Arena?

I'd guess The Streets, James Blake and Ritchie Hawtin headlining with Roisin Murphy, J Hus and Years & Years subbing but it coukd easily be the other way about too.

They could receive no greater tribute.

Better get your teenager kicking boots ready, TMC and Marr.

Polished and ready. Just hope the salty dog hasn't been moved or its not swamped by something else. Hopefully we get some updates about the possible new layout from a fellow Aphex Twin fan about the build this month.

Some info into what will be involved in Spike Island

I reckon that is spot on. Only other acts announced I think could do it would be Ashcroft or Christine and The Queens. Im guessing Billie Eilish, Dermot Kennedy Johnny Marr and Gerry Cinnamon are gonna be main stage early evening acts over the weekend. But ya never know Father John Misty headlined the EA a few years ago, he was great but didn't have a huge crowd at it.

Years and Years headlined the EA last time they were at EP so i can see them third last on one of the days on the Main Stage.
For some reason i can see Gerry Cinnamon headlining the EA up against the Strokes?

He only has 1 album and for me it's not great but he does have a big following so wouldn't be too surprised to see that. I was at Liam Gallagher in Cork this summer (got freebies to that too) and he was support act. Caught the last 15 mins of his set and the crowd was huge for him and it was a wild crowd. People up on shoulder flairs going off the whole lot. It was great to see from the bar at the back but not a fan of pints being thrown at me

I'm thinking the top two lines of the poster will be main stage acts along with Gerry Cinnamon, Jess Glynne, Johnny Marr, Ashcroft and probably Echo and the Bunnymen too. Would be nice to see Michael Kiwanuka given a main stage slot too but not sure if he will be.

Yeah its strange that, it seems like people outside scotland watched youtube videos of his local crowds and decide to carry on the same way. Good luck to him but I don't get it.

Anyone know how his voice is holding up. Heard reports a few years back that it was fading. Hope they were wrong as his setlists this Summer are very good indeed.

Still not a sniff or rumor of news?

End of the week I'd guess. Bet they were delighted not to have scheduled a release last Friday. Instead sit back and watch the MSM & social media crucify ATN's organisation. Or lack thereof.

Absolutely. If they've held back one or two decent names and are able to land a tasty announcement on the Irish public on Friday, they will have had the kind of week the PR lads can only dream about. EP back in the festival driving seat.

Raekwondo · 05-08-2019 05:08PM

Anderson .paak or Tame Impala would be the dream, nice lineup of DJs already. Last years last announcement was good to me so hopefully this years will be too.

NeonWolf · 05-08-2019 05:12PM

Any idea what day the strokes are on?

No idea. Their website & Songkick have no firm date either. We should have the day breakdown of the main acts soon and the stage times usually on the Wednesday of the festival.

A slippery customer. Can he be trusted to keep to that date?

Excellent if true. Can't make the full festival this year so Strokes finishing Sat night would be ideal.

Mucker46 · 05-08-2019 07:17PM

Johnny Marr Sunday bandsintown

glennponder · 05-08-2019 07:33PM

Poorside · 05-08-2019 07:40PM
