    Yes, I think poor old Elbow

    One of the blandest 'big' acts about IMO

    I get the shivers just thinking of that day like this song.

    I've no real issue with Elbow; I just think they'd be a really uninteresting booking on the basis that they play here so often.

    3 Arena next year, Forbidden Fruit this year, 3 Arena (2018), Live at the Marquee (2017), Olympia x2 (2017)...

    Fans aren't short of opportunities to see them.

    Now that's not unique to Elbow - Foals who I suggested as potential headliners never seem to be away for long, and the National (my favourite band and this year's headline act) are here every fortnight basically. (18 gigs since 2010 according to setlist.fm. F*cking hell!!)

    That said, it's something that is likely to happen more and more now - bands can only really make their money on tours so are likely to tour a lot more.

    I'm not expecting Elbow at this stage due to the March gig.

    They are made for the older ATN demographic though. They'd be a very safe headliner on one of the evenings.

    Is there any chance for ELO? New album out. But would they big too big for ATN?

    Not sure they would be. They sold out the 3 arena but nowhere bigger. They have played a few times but not too often. They would be a great shout.

    'Dial-up ATNers' could have been a little nod to Telephone Line.
    I think they would suit ATN to the ground, finishing off on Sunday night.

    We may be old, but it doesn't mean we can't still break a hip dancing to something a bit more upbeat than Elbow

    Oh my giddy aunt. I wouldn't have even considered this but now you've said it I'm going to put all my energy in to wishing for it.

    I would have said the opposite.

    They're pretty much completely out of kilter with what I'd be expecting, based on the headliners from the last 2 years, and the festival's demographic:

    Fleet Foxes
    Underworld
    Roisin Murphy

    The National
    Patti Smith
    Hot Chip
    Jon Hopkins

    I do have a real soft spot for Elbow, as they were the first dance at my wedding (not grounds for divorce) and they have plenty of quality tunes. Agree though that they may not be great for a festival closing spot.

    Really hoping for Public Service Broadcasting to be announced at some point for next year. Really think they’d fit the ATN vibe so well. Their set at the B&S stage in EP a few years back was awesome!!

    Could the chemical brothers potentially headline next year? A quick look at their live dates... nothing for 2020 as of yet

    Yeah, PBS are tailor made for ATN. They'd be ideal.

    Cant see ELO to be honest. Have they ever been booked at an Irish festival before? Theyd be an unknown quantity as an initial act announcement, but I wouldnt expect there to be much buzz around the target audience. I'm also not sure ELOs fanbase would be all that interested in a camping festival tbh.

    Chemical Brothers could be a good shout. I'd personally be hugely underwhelmed, having seen them 4 times already, with the same visuals for Hey Boy Hey Girl every time.

    EP Sunday gig a few years back was amazing!

    Garvey had the crowd in the palm of his hand

    Excellent Marquee gig in Cork a few years back too, maybe heavily dependent on suitable venue, wouldn't be rushing to them in 3 arena.

    I can't see The Chemical Brothers, they are an MCD act, and I reckon they'll be at EP next year (again)

    Iggy Pop is unexpected - good headliner, though.

    Aside from obviously being a legend and fitting with Pod's brand, Iggy's recent solo stuff is really good too. Post Pop Depression is a cracking album.

    Someone mentioned Thom Yorke earlier, he is touring Europe in June and July so it makes sense, is it the type of early announcement that would shift tickets though?

    Pet Shop Boys have just released their European tour dates. No Irish dates. Could they be Waterford bound???

    I just checked my email and see that. Very happy with that. Nice to see them booking these kind of acts. He is going to rock

    Iggy is a great booking

    We will return for our Third Chapter next year, for a weekend of freedom, inspiration and escapism through music, spoken word, comedy, theatre, debate, art, workshops, feasts of food and bespoke cocktails. ������☀️��

    We are delighted to welcome the godfather of punk to Curraghmore and back to Ireland for his first performance here in 12 years.

    ‘There is extreme, there is legendary — and then there is Iggy Pop’ Rolling Stone

    Iggy Pop is the first of many to be announced in the new year, across All Together Now's 16 stages of music, theatre, comedy, spoken word & more.

    Widely acknowledged as one of the most dynamic stage performers of all time, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame legend Iggy Pop has been described as ‘the archetypal cult hero, the primaeval punk, the quintessential rock star who preceded rock 'n' roll’ (SPIN) and his recently released studio album Free are just some of the highlights of an epic career filled with critical acclaim and fanatic cult success.

    I'm impressed with this announcement, not going to lie.

    Suits the ATN brand, Iggy is a class performer and a huge name as a first announcement.

    Nicely done ATN
