All Together Now 2024

Have a blast everyone. It’s myself and Mr. jellybeano’s first year missing ATN 😢 Our crew have dwindled sadly and life had gotten in our way this year.

2018 was amazing indeed. The main stage got going at midday. Haai in the Road to Nowhere tent and in Arcadia on the Sunday was a standout memory. Eclair Fifi and Haai were having the best buzz on Arcadia. Great to see the girls go for it 💪 There were a few gaps in the scheduling alright, but people found soundsystems and danced on tables at bars on the Main Street. Always a good sign when people are dancing on tables 😂 2022 was also stand out year too. Everyone was very excited to be back in a field doing what they love doing 🥳 Both years had glorious weather 😎

BTP scratched that festival itch for me this year. Hoping to get back to Curraghmore in 2025. Looking forward to hearing all the reviews. Happy packing everyone🤘🏻

Nice list mate. Earthman bob is a friend of mine, I'm actually his photographer for the performance hence getting a free ticket haha. Probably slim pickings for Jungle/DnB. Rob Rua who runs an amazing jungle label is playing but he did a similar slot last year and think he just played garage. There's a DJ called biteslice who I saw at Fuinneamh a couple years ago playing the Ealú stage, when I saw her she was playing like mad jump up DnB (I think, I'm no dnb head but the tunes were mental).

Mathman might pump out some hardcore/jungly bits, think most of his new album is that sorta vibe but I saw him at BTP and he just played a load of speed garage, which was whopper in fairness. Last year at Arcadia on Thursday they played a load of DnB, think they were like the Arcadia resident DJs or something.

Thanks for all of this, not that my list of favourites needed to be any longer, but I can't pass on a bit of DnB or adjacent

Edit to add: just checked the app and Biteslice is billed as Drum + Bass Dj 👌👌

So after what can only be described as one of the worst years of my life - close family member diagnosed with a terminal illness so really wasn't sure how things were going to end up, we got some good news recently in that the treatment is working to keep things under control and everything is stable at the moment 🙏

We've had tickets since last year but just weren't sure if we would could go or not but with everything going well at the moment we have made the decision to go! I think 3 days in a festival bubble is exactly what I need and I am buzzing. So much I want to see but my schedule at the moment looks a bit like this:

Friday - The Devlins, James Vincent McMorrow, Confidence Man, Kiasmos

Saturday - Bruch on the Bandstand, Prymary Colours, David Kitt, Mary Wallopers, The National, Kink/KKC and hopefully catch the end of Gorgon City

Sunday - Tommy Tiernan, The Wailers, Mano Le Tough, Barry Cant Swim, The Prodigy

Probably wont get to see all of those but I will try my best, the main thing is I get to let my hair down after a horrible 6 months :D

This thread has just been brilliant the past few days!

Would be cool having a Frank Toodle stage.

With the forecast looking promising and early entry open to all, it could potentially be fairly busy come Thursday evening I reckon!

Will be leaving Dublin at 8am on the Friday with the hopes of getting a decent spot as we’ve a fairly large 8-person tent to setup this year.

I was surprised how many people were there on Thursday last year! It was significantly more than the Thursday the previous year which was dead quiet. I'd be expecting more again this year. But unless you've a massive group of tents I wouldn't say it would be an issue getting a camping space.

Is there anywhere that is considered a bad place to camp ala Jimmy Hendricks at EP? (obviously won't get even close to being that type of crowd). The entire campsite seemed fairly relaxed any time I've walked through apart from a few larger groups with speakers.

Yeah, enjoyed the quiet Thursdays in recent years as got in free with CV Parking ticket.

Wandering around site but staying basically around Bandstand and taking advantage of small queues at Guinness Bar was lovely.

🤣 thank you. It sounds awful 😉 🤥

I can hear it now sitting here in work after reading that. We had the same issue two years ago hahaha

Now that the hype train has officially left the station I'm struggling to focus on anything else. What are people's ATN highlights over the years? Gilla band on the Friday of 2022 was one of the best gigs I've ever seen full stop. Ema's set in Arcadia that year was also legendary, it popped off like never before or since. Still get's talked about 2 years later
