All Together Now 2024

My first year going. As a comedy fan I'm a bit disappointed at the line up for that.

Outside of Tommy Tiernan there's a lot of young, vanilla acts.

This is a great thread, thanks to all the contributors. I’m going with the family to our 1st ATN and first festival for me in many years. I was at EP 1&2 but I think all my festival ‘muscle memory’ is long gone!

Anyway I’m genuinely really excited, for me and the kids. Two boys and a little baby girl so we are aiming to survive 2 nights. Heading down early Saturday and spoiling the family with one of the podpad tents which have camp beds.

Plan to spend few hours in kids area each day then some comedy , some main stage and then take turns with my wife for the later night stuff/checking out some of the smaller stages.

Sunday is main music interest for me. If it all goes to plan I hope to catch Barry Can’t Swim as a family. Then let the boys watch the first few songs of the Prodigy (my favourite band of all time and cool to be able to say I’ve seen them across 4 decades and almost can’t believe I’m going to being my kids to see them, even if it’s a little bit late at night! )
Then the kids will go off to bed and I’ll get rest of Prodigy and Kalkbrenner to rave my bad knees off to!

Can’t wait , thanks for the various tips and hope weather behaves and you all have a great time.

Hard disagree. I would be 95% certain they were not lip syncing although I was many substances deep at that stage, but I have seen them probably 6 or 7 times and have never felt that. I'm not here to say they are the best of the best and music is so subjective that arguments like that are irrelevant anyway, but they undeniably bring so much energy to their shows, it's very danceable and 'accessible' (not sure if that's the right word) to people who aren't necessarily hard core dance music fans. I would nearly compare them to Confidence Man in terms of what they bring to a show.

Listening to them on Spotify will not do them justice, they are 100% about the live show. Their gigs at ATN and BTP last year were incredible. The addition of Andy in the last 18 months (brother of the main guy) doing live vocals over their tracks has elevated the and they are IMO a perfect festival act - although I appreciate we all have different tastes. Chancers they are not however.

Just be prepared for the hills, especially with the kids if 1 is in a buggy.

You better make it endainoz, haven't met you yet.

can anyone remember what time they started letting people into car parks on Thursday last year?

Don't really see any possible slot that she could play, the only TBAs on the 3 biggest stages are one on Saturday night on Lovely Days stage, which is almost certainly a DJ as there's DJs before and after and no changeover time.

The only other one is Sunday 14:30-15:30, first act on the stage, which seems unlikely.

All the other stages seem too small.

There's a 90min slot from 21:30-23:00 on Belonging Bandstand that might in theory work, but can't see her taking that slot, up against a lot of peak time competition, or hanging around for 3 days to do it.

I'd say it's probably just a mistake.

it opened at 4pm last year

Saw someone once call them Farm Those I Love which is pretty funny I guess

Would probably be the Friday night, which would be a shame as Id miss her. He latest album one of my favs of the year

Pretty much agree apart from the lip-synching bit. Le Galaxie equally as shite (though they might have split up at this stage. I'd like to think so anyways).

Still a bit early to be certain. Worst case scenario looks like overcast with a few showers, which will be fine 🙏
