Dunno where you got the idea that Life isn't happening this year BD. Seen you mention before that their socials were quiet but that's not true at all, they've been posting lineup info for months now.

Definitely on (as a noob i'm not allowed post links apparently but checkout their website Life-festival.com).

I do wish that B&S did book some hard techno. In fact hard/dirty music of any genre. Not everyone likes House/Disco and dull, low-key electronica.

Just assumed Life wasn't happening as no thread started here in Gigs and Events and I usually get reminders on Facebook if Life announces as I used to work it up to 2015.

Just checked their website and your right there's a line up there, but they don't seem to be doing the usual Facebook advertising hence why I thought it was off, the line up seems a lot smaller than past years. Maybe you should start the new Life Festival thread Dreamweapon. 😄😄

I don't think B&S have ever booked any heavy techno djs or acts. The heaviest was probably Vitalic or Modseletor, but they are more on the side of electro. Plenty of other festivals in Ireland in May & June that have lots of heavy techno so I don't see B&S trying to cater for that side of electronic music. As you said they have always been more into booking house & disco djs, can't see them changing that anytime soon. Would love to see them book Avalon Emerson again, she plays all types of electronic music in her sets, she played her fair share of heavy house in the big tent back in 2017.

Body & Soul have cleared the time issue up on that post in the Overheard group anyway :)

"That’s definitely an error folks. Will look into it and rectify. Closing time on Sunday is same as previous years."

I wouldn't be surprised if Thievery Corporation show up at Body & Soul, they would be the perfect compliment to the previous Friday headliner Kruder & Dorfmeister and there seems to be a gap between their US and European tour around time of summer solstice, here's hoping.

Lineup announced for all the moan heads here ;

keithkk16 · 31-03-2022 12:24pm

Yesss that's a decent lineup! Been wanting to see Yves tumour and Kelly Lee Owens for ages now. Time to start making a playlist 😁

bodhrandude · 31-03-2022 12:41pm

I happy with that too Roisin Murphy and Mogwai should be good, I'm hearing good reports on EP thread about Yard Act and will make some new discoveries no doubt as well.

Never listen to anything on fb😅

31-03-2022 1:35pm

That's absolutely deplorable.

Mogwai and Lee Fields be good, Roisin Murphy as well obviously but I have tickets to see her in April. Most of the rest are Irish acts who play here the whole time that I have seen on multiple occasions.

With the new festival in Wicklow this must be the death knell for a once great festy. Hard to feel much sympathy as the standard of the line ups have nosed dived since maybe 2015 or so.

AdamD · 31-03-2022 2:08pm

€250 for that line up is very steep

Dreamweapon · 31-03-2022 2:15pm

Mogwai and Yard Act the standouts.

Altered Hours, Pillow Queens and M(h)aol worth a look but have seen them mulitple times, and can see them on a regular basis if i choose to. Lee Fields is decent enough. The rest is standard B&S fare that wouldn't interest me much.

Also noticed that they intend returning to full capacity and letting families back too in 2023

bodhrandude · 31-03-2022 2:52pm

I'm just glad its happening as I work it in the advance anyway, have been checking out the line up. It looks like Sampa the Great will be this years Alo Wala, hip hop act from Australia, watched some of their Youtube videos and they seem interesting enough. Yves Tumor looks like they could be fun. So that's at least 5 or 6 acts that's got me. There is 'Many More...' to come so some nice electronica I'll imagine added through the coming month or two, still wouldn't mind Thievery Corporation if they can snap them up, how about Max Cooper and Daniel Avery too would be nice.

Sofia Kourtesis is nice housey kinda vibe. Started listening to her when I heard a remix of her tune La Perla. Definitely high on my priority list.

Just checked her out there she’s got a great sound. Estacion Esperanza is a banger. Any other acts like that on the bill?

bodhrandude · 31-03-2022 4:01pm

Number 7 act to see, Sofia Kourtesis, Peruvian born but Berlin based DJ, she has a nice groove and vibe going with her sounds.

Godford might be for you as well.. kinda on the spectrum of The Blaze, I dunno what genre to be giving different electronic/house artists. The Beast tune gives me Bicep vibes. I You She and Downtown are other nice ones.

Peesh89 · 31-03-2022 4:20pm

I've said vibes too may times today, someone put me down.

Just listened to a bit of Godford, nice stuff, interesting electronica, was it you who suggested checking out Magdalena Bay as well in the Overheard thread, dreamy pop with a bit of crunch to it, totally Body&Soul. :)

Korvanica · 31-03-2022 4:43pm

Grand lineup.

Swear to got all the people who complain about there being no released lineup are now the exact same people complaining because the lineup isn't tailored perfectly to them.

Why do these people even goto festivals?

Korvanica · 31-03-2022 4:47pm

Quick Playlist there for anyone interested.

What in the name of fùck is that Sinead O’Brien one at? I’ve never heard anything like her music before and I don’t mean that in a good way. Chronic.

keithkk16 · 31-03-2022 5:00pm

Surprised nobody mentioned them yet, but Kelly Lee Owens is going to be unreal. Probably the best electronic act on the line up

I had to have a listen after your post, shes a bit out there alright 🤣

I suppose you'd just watch something else or find a suitable distraction lol. :)

Twas not I, although I did give them a go there and will be adding them to my now growing list!

I did just like your Sofia link on that same post 😎

That right there is my problem with B&S; dull, bland and boring and variations of it will be heard on 5 different stages simultaneously at any given moment. So not much opportunity to find something else to listen to instead. Look at the crowd even, gently swaying trying to convince themselves they're having a good time but deep down they know it's shite 😄

Magdalena Bay sounds awful too, some 80s nonsense.

Sinead O'Brien seems alright. The voice might grate after a while though.

Sinead O’Brien does not seem alright to be fair

keithkk16 · 31-03-2022 5:44pm

I must be listening to a different Sinead O'Brien cause what i'm hearing is class lads!
