Absolutely. EP or bust for Gaz and the boys.

True, they're obviously in it for the money so EP has to be the front runner

First time going, and looking to stay in pink moon. Should we get camping tickets first and then pink moon or vice versa?

Get your EP tickets first.

Reformed bands - Supergrass and Pavement back. Be nice to get at least one at EP. And who else over the next few years?

Smiths - would honestly prefer not to see it. Leave their legacy as it is and hope that Moz heads off to a hermit life on the Shetlands.
Talking Heads - nothing, but nothing, could match this.
Green on Red - has occasionally happened and overdue another outing.
Sugarcubes - Bjork has done it once (2006) but alas unlikely for another while.
Tubeway Army - Gary, get the band together for the old stuff.
And many, many more.

For retro stuff isn't it beyond time that FR booked some from Moving Hearts, SLF, the House of Love, Heaven 17, Roni Size, Ultravox & Blacmange?

This means nothing to me.

Not sure the crowd at Indie would really appreciate Supergrass - it's a real post-Leaving Cert/early college festival. Most of that lot wouldn't been alive when Supergrass last had a top ten single!

Maybe, but that same demographic was roaring along to The Strokes last weekend. Word perfectly. And the headliners at Indiependence over the past six years have included Ash, De La Soul, Primal Scream, the Manics and Public Enemy.

Supergrass not out of place there.

No, but you can buy two tickets with your code.

One would have thought and wasn't it discussed on this or last year's thread.

For some reason those acts are getting shunted onto those tacky 80s festivals yet they're playing a blinder live.

I saw Thomas Dolby at Let's Rock Exeter earlier this year and he was perfect for EA early evening or Main Stage afternoon.

The Human League headlined Exeter and literally the ground shook.

Given EP is still marketed as "Electric" one would expect a nod to the early days of synth.

Was it free flow as normal this year outside the main arena and after the main stage finished?

Yes and No.

They moved the main arena boundary so previously free flow areas like Salty Dog and Trenchtown were so no longer.

The whole place was free flow once all the bars closed - forget what time that was but was pretty late (midnight perhaps Friday and Sunday, later Saturday).

We found smuggling a few cans in fairly easy on the Sunday.

I have a 2 or less code that I won’t be using if anybody would like it? PM me and I’ll send it on.

Edit : gone now

Very true, lineup depending I'll be hopefully going back to indie for 2020 and they do try to keep their indie type roots. I remember hearing the interview with the head booker on the Irish music industry podcast and that's basically what he said. There are certainly a lot of young people but they do try to cater to the indie type crowd too. Hence headliners like Biffy Clyro, Primal Scream etc
