Irish Punk scene is huge at the minute, wouldn't even put the Fontaine's in there right now as the punk scene is a lot heavier, Audible Joe's are bloody brilliant and after that we have Powpig

One of my favourite punk memories was in 1983 at Nightmoves in Glasgow, The Birthday Party's debut gig in Scotland and Nick Cave's first group, a mental audience. Birthday Party should give their dues to John Peel, it was how me and my mate learned about them through listening to his radio show.

1975 must be worst headliner ever for EP, from LCD, Portishead, Prodigy to this!

Their lead singer Brittany Howard is playing.

I am incredibly happy about this.
I did not see herðŸ€£
I was checking Alabama’s schedule seeing if they were coming to Europe on multiple occasions in the last year. Willing to fly.
This has cheered me up no endðŸ€©
Thanks Seathrun66

Ha ha. Easily. Struggling to think of any act coming close in the fifteen years of EP.

Hope it's just click bait, forecast for cold polar air from next Friday on.

No trouble. Hope you enjoy it. She's not doing the Shakes material as far as I'm aware as she has a solo album out in Sept. Should be a decent gig nonetheless.

Shouldn't they be directing that towards Trump rather than us?

Nugget89 · 23-08-2019 11:56PM

Going to see Jerry Fish, The Frank & Walters, and The Stunning tomorrow. Training for the real thing.

Don't be worrying. This is what MT Cranium has to say:

'The further outlook is rather uncertain but looks fairly promising now with the cooler trend rather on latest guidance, possibly back to mostly sunny skies by Friday 30th and the weekend of 31st August into 1st of September, and highs in the low 20s.'

I'll take that..

Yes indeed, Seathrun. They sound good. List operating on a one in, one out basis. Next week will be merciless.

ive loads of time for charli,
she's never claimed to be a good singer,
openly admits to using autotune live,
but she's a cool grounded girl and a prolific hit-writer (google it)
and for me that's far more impressive than
a good singer who doesn't write their any of their own stuff,
only like a handful of her songs but "you cant knock the hustle!"

cheers

At least now it won't take up to 30 mins to get from Salty Dog to the main arena stages. I have skipped acts before on the stages outside the arena because of the hassle getting in and out.

The salty dog will die a death. Folk go there for their few beers going to the main arena. Many will bypass it now. For me its an integral part of the festival. This has disaster all over it

Mucker46 · 24-08-2019 12:58AM

Friend played me suspect device when i was about16 and it blew me away. He then played alternative ulster and have been a fan since. Two massive songs that probably didnt get the recognition they deserved.

yeah, have to agree,
id say SD will see a lot less punters this year,

griffdaddy · 24-08-2019 02:15AM

Just checking the long term forecast there - There's a low in the high forties
Saturday's locked away on the pier, not fast enough, dear

Long term forecasts are not worth a **** this far out. Wait till Thursday for anything semi accurate.

Tago Mago · 24-08-2019 03:44AM

Too late for a late Mini Mansions announcement?

Didn't even realize they were back touring again tbh, but doing Leeds & Rock en Seine before nothingness...

Modern psychedelic pop done very well; a super group with the QOTS bassist on vocals.

The trend on weather isn’t going the right way!

If anyone has a BYEco ID they are not using I would be mighty appreciative of it. PM me away. Never registered this year but have come across last minute tickets.

Up there for me too. Definitely now my fave Beatles album after two decades of it being Revolver and Sgt Pepper in my teens & twenties. Will it be Abbey Road in my seventies?

I don't see that at all. Still a cool spot with great music. Bar there now too. I get the whole can thing but I'm not the only one who battles out there regularly from the main arena without a can to my name because they have great stuff on and I love the site. It'll be different but it'll still thrive.

It may actually get more people. I've skipped gigs at the SD and OVs due to the hassle with the security gates. Now it's a quick hop from the main arena. And as before I think the change was more due to health & safety than greed. The checkpoint was chaotic at times last year.
