Traffic sh1tshow incoming.

Why do you think?

(as per every year thanks again for the app, an example of usability thru simplicity!)

Welcome for the app .. was only kidding about the traffic. As pointed out above .. we need WASPS!

Amazon32 · 27-08-2019 11:20AM

Sunday - Florence Vs The Streets Vs Kolsch Vs Michael Kiwanuka Vs Elder Island (not seeing much love for them, they are fantastic)

Best plan I can come with is Streets for 20 mins, Kolsch and then catch some of Elder.

Kolsch to Maya Jane to King Kong to Gaudi is a loose finish to the weekend.

HarryTheSpider · 27-08-2019 11:21AM

Was/Is Freetown billed as a dance/electronic area?

I really don't see Spike Island as a good fit.

Looks like a cool spot though. Very Like Jimmi Lee's Juke Joint.

BaZmO* · 27-08-2019 11:22AM

Yeah that Sunday night clash-fest is awful!

Agreed with Elder Island!

Gaudi at 2.30am on Monday AM, jeez. Thankfully I'm not above leaping about sober (driving to Co Antrim in the morning).

sorry to all ye leaving on sunday....

I actually love james blake, his latest album is so so good. Im not sure il be in the zone to see him at 10.30 on friday night though

Yea, I love James Blake, but is very much a wind down act, and I wont be ready for winding down @10.30 on Friday night. I wouldn't mind, but he has some absolute bangers, but he does usually stick with the slower ones.

Ethereal Cereal · 27-08-2019 11:28AM

I'm surprised Charli XCX didnt get a main stage set.

Yep it was in a press release earlier in the year, well Terminus was to be specific.

"Anchored by Terminus, a brand new 8,000 capacity mega-stage for electronica and dance (presented as an Eastern Bloc architectural colossus), Freetown will rise from the ground for just 4 days of the year."

Maybe the 2 Johnnies are playing a DJ set :P

Yeah some colossus!!

PabloAndRoy · 27-08-2019 11:44AM

My timetable is a bit light earlier in the days with a lot of gaps (apart from multiple clashes after 9pm). I need to fill it out a bit.

Has anyone any tips for acts that don't excite particularly on recordings but put in stunning live performances?

smurph6 · 27-08-2019 11:45AM

Pink moon camping...what's the pros and cons?!

Is it any craic or more like organised fun

that tent is going to be stupidly packed. Mass exodus to Christine & the Queens afterwards.

Clean toilets hot showers, clean, space around your tent to sit out, and you can sleep 3am - 8am without dickheads shouting "nice onnnneee bbrrruuuvvvvaaa".

I thought it was this new yoke, outdoors (photo from last week so probably look better now):

That makes more sense. Someone posted a pic of a large tent yesterday saying it was Terminus.

Don't think there's a curfew?

BullBlackNova · 27-08-2019 11:55AM

This might be a stupid question but I see 'Cynema' listed as performing on Body & Soul Sanctuary stage at 2.45am on Sunday night/Monday morning - is this the Irish producer who used to go by 'Cinema' after undergoing a name change or is it someone else?

I remember a few cool Cinema tunes and a really good live set in Cork a few years ago but wasn't aware of a name change, if one happened, or is it just a similar name!

dusters · 27-08-2019 11:55AM

So just had texts from friends who are on site for media day and the ground is good!
Main Arena should hold good as they have such a good drainage system in place.

It's not quite a curfew, you can arrive back there at any hour obviously, but your expected to be quiet from 1am to 7am. Most people follow this rule, some don't but there's plenty of madness elsewhere for a person to find if they want it.

just looking at the map again, Terminus is marked as a tent, so that's probably all correct.

Friday is a bit light early on, apart from the doors / smiths tributes.

There's plenty on early Saturday for me. **All are on before 6PM**
Bootleg beach boys - Amy Montgomery - jessica Pratt - TBL8 brass band - Badhands - Otherkin - Crow black chicken - Just mustard.

Sunday has Bicurious - Touts - KKC - Autre Monde all before 6PM, with Johnny F'n Marr on @ 6.
