    Who/what do you want to see there?

    First and foremost, hoverboards.

    Failing that, a band called Hoverboards.

    But realistically...

    Duran Duran, The Frames, Moby (I still think/hope he has the devil in him)

    A proper cage like arena for the rockers. Ep needs a balls to the wall metal section.

    EP15.

    Loads more portaloos for the campsites. I counted 6 men's portaloos in the Oscar Wilde which probably had 7000+ people staying in it. And both times I visited there were 3 out of commission...

    The ladies ones had massive queues too dunno how slow they were so can't really comment.

    That's honestly the only thing I'd demand be changed for next year. Maybe look at the queuing for searches during peak hours too. Missed the start of a must see act because we spent 20 mins queuing Sat eve...

    Otherwise more of the same see Ye all next Sept!!! :)

    Is it too soon to look at the long-range weather forecast?

    May as well sure..

    Pearl Jam, QOTSA, The Gaslight Anthem, Jimmy Eat World, Alt-J, The XX, The Joy Formidable. That'd do me anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,461 ✭✭✭Queen-Mise


    OK - posted on other thread. I heard they were trying to book The Lumineers.


    Who I want to see are MORCHEEBA - would love to see that band live. And please don't let someone tell they have played already.

    I would also like to see some Brit pop 90's band. That is my heyday - it was unfair seeing all the bands from the heyday in the 70s, & 80s this year. What about me:(:rolleyes:

    Would have to think some more about bands after that.

    Pretty sure I'm going to buy my ticket in the next couple of weeks.. 2015 will be my most organised year yet!

    What I was also really impressed this year was the quality of the female vocalist performers - can we have more of the same please.

    What about Tracy Chapman - only because when I was in the shop a while ago she was on the radio. Did she ever do the Feile - that is the only place I would have seen her. I can't remember seeing her.

    I would also like to see of the older Irish acts, the Blades went down really well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,341 ✭✭✭✭MadYaker


    Oasis, U2 and David Bowie.

    God no to the first two. Couldn't be dealing with their twatness. Could you imagine Bono preaching at us on the stage.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,054 ✭✭✭D.Q


    The stone roses and electric picnic would be a beautiful romance.

    Plus the amount of Wonderwall singing guitar **** in the campsite would explode.

    My list for EP Santy:
    Chromeo
    Mew
    Local Natives
    Bring back Bombay Bicycle club cuz they were great
    Bring back SBTRKT cuz I'm still incredibly pissed off about overdoing my power nap and missing the bastard.
    And if we're dreaming sure, Radiohead.

    Yes to that . I would love if EP was kinda like Pukkelpop/Sziget/Rock Werchter . A good mix of different type of bands would be great

    Duran Duran, - Moby (I still think/hope he has the devil in him)

    DD - Funnily enough, was talking to a few mates over the weekend, their name came up a few times

    Moby would be good fun if he's in the mood.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,487 ✭✭✭Right Turn Clyde

    He's actually about to release his first new album since 2001's Drukqs. I wouldn't be surprised if he was announced.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 211 ✭✭Graham1978

    Especially The Stone Roses. That would be unbelievably fantastic.

    Would love to see white lies, Interpol and maybe Elvis Costello. A massive long shot would be David Gilmour


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6 Foltar


    De La Soul, Tycho, Little Dragon, RAC, Memory Tapes, Snakadaktal, Bonobo, Mano Le Tough, Dustin Tebbutt, Flight Facilities, James Blake, The Preatures, Rufus, Phantogram and Yumi Zouma.

    More portaloos for men; we need to poo too.

    Bands? Stone Roses and Oasis/Noely G. Yes it would bring in the great unwashed, the proletariat, and we'd be unable to pretend that we enjoyed some old woman dressed like Lady Gaga, but the music would actually be good!
