All Together Now 2024

Definitely, it was magic. The general camping was so close to the main arena/stage - where silk road is now I think.

4th ATN for me, jumped ship after EP 2018 (the crowd during Kendrick was the last straw), but 2022 was the magic, Nick Cave and King Gizzard in particular were off the hook and coming back after COVID too, just brilliant.

For all the moaning about the line up from some quarters I think its packed! Loads to enjoy.

Friday hopefully starts with Fizzy Orange, then Fynch, Glass Beams, (+/- a bit of Declan McKenna), Yaya Bey, Ben UFO, Confidence Man/Murder Capital/Kiasmos, Sloucho, then whoever seems to have the best vibes

Assuming I'm still alive on Saturday, on to Sing-along, Soda Blonde, Overhead the Albatross, Hak Baker, Mary Wallopers, Chalk/Kojaque (haven't quite sorted that out in my head yet), then Floating Points, Roisin Murphy, Reclaim the Mainframe/King Kong Company

Sunday: Talking Heads, Mary in the Junkyard, Shakalak/John Francis Flynn/Wailers/Beach Fossils/Jealous of the Birds (f**k knows what I'll do with that omnishambles of a clash/overlap), OXN, Future Islands/Sprints, Just Mustard, Houseplants, Slowdive, Prodigy, then probably bed.

And I might try squeeze in a few more here and there, I'm in full festival goblin mode.

Cannot wait, gonna be fooking brilliant.

Well enjoy dude and all going well next year, catch you then 😎

I spotted them in Waterford the Monday after last year's ATN while I was passing time, waiting for transport back to Dublin. They were in a fine tree in public view in a busy spot, in all fairness, but they need to be reinstalled within ATN, where they belong. Love dem eyes!

Still too early but the weather forecasts are looking good......

Loving how positive this thread is, this is gonna be a good year, I feel it!

I've enjoyed reading the posts about what people are planning on heading to so here's my current plan of attack…. Serious business is the acts I'll go see even if none of my crew are heading along. Looking doubtful I'll get anyone along to Kink but I'm working on it!

Friday…

The serious business is from 7pm: Glass Beams / Ben UFO / Confidence Man / Kiasmos / maybe a bit of Backstory / Kolsch

Earlier on, show up for throw-in at 2pm in the Canbium Club with Donal Dinneen and his dance to remember, then some random wandering til Glass Beams.

Saturday…

The serious business: Le Boom / Floating Points / Kink

Less "must see" acts but plenty of good stuff to keep me busy. If I'm up, Panti Bliss vs Earthman Bob at lunchtime is a difficult one - perhaps I'll catch some of both. I'll be spending most of the rest of the time going between the Lost City, AVA and Cambium Club (or keeping people company at something they're interested in). Fingers crossed JWY doesn't clash too badly with Le Boom although looks like she will. I may end up at Gorgon City late night although more to hang with mates than them being first choice.

I'd love to see The National and Roisin but was at their 3Arena and Olympia gigs in last 12 months. Not seen Floating Points or Kink in several years so prioritising them.

Sunday…

The serious business: Tommy T / Oxn / Mano / Mathman / Kalkbrenner

Also I'll definitely be wandering around Ping Pong Disco and ELG more than is mentioned above

And if anyone knows any DJs who'll be playing 90s dance, or DnB / jungle, let me know!

On the wrong stage to get the biggest crowd. The likes of The Prodigy will be bigger, right? It’ll be a busy one though… I’ll have to skip the last 30 minutes of Ben UFO I reckon.

I assume no way they’d be moved to Main Stage this close to kickoff?
