If I was female I’d pay it. Some of the horror shows you see in those portaloos.... you’d wonder how people manage it sometimes. I don’t know why ep don’t have the compost toilets like some UK and euro festivals, way nicer to use and much better for the environment.

Loud band = Girl band

Some nice loud bands already, in The Jerry Fish announcement. If this is the same Lilac that is on the bill (and I rather suspect it is), then this is a cracking tune...

I don't think I'll ever recover from the stink from the longdrop jacks at Glastonbury in 2017. Christ.

Isn't there some horror storey of someone falling into one of them before at Glastonbury?

Poo Girl, how very British!

Kano will be announced tomorrow, had a premonition last night

Poorside · 15-08-2019 10:10PM

Just realised, no sign of the Blizzards, they normally show up in Jerry fish.

Fontaine's DC were a surprise act at Jerry Fish last year. Played B&S earlier in day (billed), then announced for JFT later that evening.

They did make a big noise about how All Together Now was their only Irish Festival for 2019. But maybe that's all in the past.

This would be amazing!

Poorside · 15-08-2019 10:46PM

Going to hedge my bets for the JF special guest, it's either Therapy? Or Stiff Little Fingers

I still have nightmares about it, and I havent been there since 2002!

In Echo & the Bunnymen news, the gig tonight was good but not great. Better than their 2007/8 EP where IMcC had a "head cold" but not as good as they were a few years ago at the olypmia. Band are tight as always, but he just cant sing the high notes. I felt he gave a bit more sox to the newer songs, but was dialling it in for the 3 off Ocean Rain.

Now that said, this is a crazy festival in Belgium, so maybe he neither expected nor got a good crowd (they seemed ok where I was, but most people in the festival were dressed like Goth teens.

As an aside, the primitives played and were a joy! Also the Stranglers put on a whopper set! Would easily fit into the next EP announcement, as I think theyre still touring Europe for the next while

I've bought a wristband for the Loowatt crappers in the Eco site. All about a comfy seat in the morning as part of the morning ablutions. Wouldn't be bothered with the whole showering nonsense. Queuing for those eats in to valuable can time.

Drink cans on the can, maybe?

scruff monkey · 15-08-2019 10:50PM

We had the stranglers a few years back, they were in fine bouncy health from what I remember.

Their former lead is also touring very soon.

Saw them a few months ago, they were grand but Therapy blew them away

Troublegum is one that still gets a spin when drunk and the gaff to meself.

John.Icy · 15-08-2019 11:04PM

Seen on FB;

-Oscar Wilde moving slightly (EP tweeted as such earlier). Not sure how slight is slight. Surely Freetown is taking the whole site judging by an 8000 capacity stage. Surrounded by trees then so it'll be beyond that - eco and tour de picnic are the closest green areas followed by Chaplin.

-new campsite called Keith Flint.

-new dance tent in a campsite (post didn't say where)

Just on the FB banter page so who knows but rather specific details.

TBH despite the increase in capacity and the whole Wilde thing...Chaplin and Joplin especially always look near empty on the drone and helicopter shots over the weekend...doesn't seem like there needs to be a drastically new site especially if Wilde is just moving.

Stranglers were great in the Olympia back in March.

So spent a lot of today pondering what is possible in the next announcement (presuming there is still a small one to come).

My heart says it would be amazing if we got a late dance headliner such as the Chemical Brothers or Underworld, but my head says there is already enough headliner material on the poster. The Strokes, Florence, The 1975, Hozier & Billie Eilish are easily a bigger bunch of headliners than we got last year and presuming 2 of those played the Sat/Sun and 1 on Friday, I can't see how another headliner would fit. On the other hand, I still feel like there are gaps on the main stage earlier in the day and not sure who of the current acts announced are going to feature on the main stage.

Seem to be a lot of Irish acts who normally play not on the lineup yet.. Le Galaxie, Ships, Kojaque, Versatile, Kneecap, Wyvern Lingo, The Murder Capital then your likes of Walking on Cars, Ryan Sheridan, Delorentos etc.

Plenty of good Irish DJs that could end up playing Freetown - Krystal Klear, Mano le Tough, New Jackson all usually appear in Stradbally and none announced so far. DJ Deece, R. Kitt, Brame & Hamo are another few Irish DJs that would be good contenders for there you would say too maybe? I would take any of those names in Freetown gladly, probably more I am leaving out too.

You just know that campsite is going to be mayhem

That sounds like hell on earth.

What about Franz Ferdinand as a bit of a left field addition? Playing with kings of Leon on the Friday in Liverpool so they might hop over.

scruff monkey · 15-08-2019 11:23PM

They’re overdue a return, last played in 2013 I think.
