Weakest/poppiest picnic ever?

last year was VERY pop.

with 57,500 fans there will be lot who will eat up that pop type announcement, (gavinjames, 2 jonnies, kodaline, jess glynn etc), but theres enough in the under card for the non pop fan to be happy with.

its not a rock festival

Columc · 16-08-2019 01:03PM

Is king kong company playing twice? or are they just piggy backing on the Body and soul announcement of them? Still dont think the B+S stage will be good for KKC - Sure they nearly filled Electric Arena last year during the day, and then their slot at Salty Dog was jammed packed.

Kodaline as their final big announcement is pretty poor in all fairness, not what I was expecting.

no Le Galaxie? Usually a banker

Other Voices been gone has left a very big "up coming and alternative" hole in the line up though

Koda fkn line.

Anyway as I mentioned a few pages back, a friends young fella has a band called The Wha and they are in this announcement. Just signed a record deal and will be playing salty dog.

All the indie teenage kickers should really like them.

Fkn Koda fkn line! Honestly:-(

Where can we listen to them? Cant seem to find them on spotify and only came across 1/2 videos on youtube.

MichaelM93l · 16-08-2019 01:05PM

That was a terrible last announcement, we got The Prodigy last year, this year we get Gavin James & Kodaline, shocking.

Where is the dance headliner act?

So do we surmise Freetown is just local djs etc and people already on the line up

If it is then the disappointment of seeing todays line up will pale in comparison to there not being any announcement at all for Freetown. It's the first year that none of the announcements have got me in any way excited.

In fairness to them the lineup seems very popular this year, comments under their facebook post today are largely positive, but I can see myself and EP going in different directions unfortunately.

The weakest for electronic for sure I think

And for hiphop!

I have a feeling that Three 'Made by Music' thing in the woods could cater for this type of act. The likes of Soule, Jafaris, Wyvern Lingo etc. maybe or acts of that ilk. Did they have something like that at Body & Soul or am I getting my wires crossed?

(bare in mind 2 minutes ago I posted saying every single announcement had disappointed me this year... so I am probably completely wrong)

cjdennis29 · 16-08-2019 01:10PM

The fact that Freetown is only 7,000 capacity leads me to believe no dance headliner to be announced. No chems

dansan7 · 16-08-2019 01:19PM

I was really hoping for a Franz Ferdinand type act to be announced. Hope they announce some good electronic acts for Freetown.

Anyone decent in that new announcement? Besides KKC.

everlast75 · 16-08-2019 01:20PM

saw 24 bands last year (that I can remember). Won't be that many this year - but I'll try use the spare time to walk around and explore the place a bit better

Some Today FM soundgarden ****e

Thundercats Ho · 16-08-2019 01:31PM

There's plenty in the line up for me overall, but man alive, that final announcement is complete dogshít.

rubick · 16-08-2019 01:32PM

Eco Campsite just emailed their info - open from 4pm - 10pm on the Thursday for first entry.

patch · 16-08-2019 01:32PM

Hmmm. Was glad to see Mother club DJs in yesterdays announcement as a solid backup plan. But now it looks they will be one of the better shows for the dance heads....
Any other recommendations apart from Amelie Lens and Richie Hawtkin?

Kelly Anne Byrne body and soul main stage will be great if you love mother djs

Poorside · 16-08-2019 01:35PM

Underwhelming final announcement, probably because we already knew about Razorlight, happy with Fangclub.

If I had a ticket, and Kodaline and Razorlight were added, I'd nearly give it back. That's made the line up actually look worse.

People need to stop buying tickets for this before the line-up is announced. They're only taking your money and laughing at ye.

dav09 · 16-08-2019 01:42PM

Very poor & disappointing, almost no hip hop and very little electronic (besides a couple of techno DJs and one or two others), not enough variety and tends to be leaning more and more towards pop/ oxygen crowd appeal-er. A few decent acts down the tiers but headliner wise its as pop as it gets now (besides the strokes).

Dusky, Four tet, Kolsch, Fjakk.
All very good, but depends what sort of dance you like.

Ricosruffneck · 16-08-2019 01:43PM

I'm not too mad about the latest announcement. But there's great headliners and solid undercard.

I have 40+ acts I want to see.

Also looking forward to Razorlight and the streets who I managed to evade during their hey days.

Mollyb60 · 16-08-2019 01:47PM

On the flip from most of you here, I'm happy enough with Gavin James and Kodaline. They're decent acts that I'll probably go see. I've spent the morning listening to Viagra Boys and Otherkin and am really impressed with them too. I wasn't expecting much from this last announcement but I'll have enough to keep me amused for the weekend. Just need the times and site map now and I'll be happy.

Am I right in saying that Kneecap are the irish language rappers? They'll be great craic. I'll definitely pop along to see them.

glennponder · 16-08-2019 01:56PM

Still v surprised at this, last years announcement included a whole lot of fillers such as gavin James, coronas etc but no one cared as the prodigy were also on it....think ep missed a trick here

Would love to wait for the line up before buying but then if i was happy with it i would be forced to overpay for tickets or spend weeks haggling with time wasters

16-08-2019 02:01PM

where my frustrations lie around dance is i see DJs announced in Dublin that id love to see all the time
Hidden agenda/district 8 have some great bookings. Cant understand for the life of me why EP cant book them

I know thats a very simplistic view and i obviously dont know how it works but still i cant understand it!
