"2016 Early Bird Tickets Coming Very Soon" according to their social media accounts.

Exciting!

Need to be quick with the tier ones though as they were gone in a flash last year. They only announced a few hours in advance last year from memory. €89 though - bargain!

They've just released a survey with options to give your opinions on things that should be improved on last years festival and also options to suggest what type of acts you'd like there, looks like they're planning on fixing the issues that happened on the Friday last year which is good!

I seem to have missed this! (wasn't there last year). What happened?

10,000 tickets sold + one road into the site = enormous traffic jam

Any rumours on lineup this year?

Would LCD be a realistic headliner? They are in Europe that time of the summer. Also I could see Belle & Sebastian making an appearance.

Field Day which is on the week before in London has the likes of PJ Harvey, Beach House, Bicep, GOAT, DeerHunter, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Tourist, Girl Band & the Sleaford Mods.

A few of those might be good bets. Although PJ Harvey plays Helsinki on the 17th and Berlin on Monday 20th so that might be a big ask.

Will probably be the usual early March before first announcements are made?

Early bird ticket bought before Christmas and just booked a silk road tent this week so all set

mirsiam · 28-01-2016 06:04PM

Hi Guys, does anyone know if you can buy a 1 day ticket? Think I can only make it on the Sunday

Any advice....is it even worth me going for the 1 day??! I haven't been before. Thanks

ghostdancer · 28-01-2016 10:30PM

yeah you can buy Sunday tickets, they sell out fairly quickly I think though.
it's worth it if you don't have too far to travel. I wouldn't be coming from Cork or something for the day though...

Was discussing just this with a friend last week. Really hope this happens. Saturday night main stage headliners would be epic and so much better than another EP appearance. I suspect that they may be out of the price range though. Still we can hope.

SteelyDanJalapeno · 31-01-2016 01:05PM

LCD Soundsystem will be too expensive for BnS

Captain Flaps · 01-02-2016 05:25PM

Not a hope LCD will be at B&S, unfortunately.

What makes you so sure

Alkers · 01-02-2016 07:20PM

Does anyone know whether you can use an awning beside caravans / campers at body and soul?

Yes, generally..
One year we were very early arriving and they asked it to take it down, but things got more relaxed as more folk got set up..

Edit: If I remember rightly, last year they were asking if you had an awning and allowing extra room, though I might be confusing that with EP..

It's too small of a festival and their price would be much much higher than what B&S would be spending on acts. I hope I'm wrong, nothing would make me happier, but if they're going to ANY Irish festival this year it'll be Picnic.

I'd put Nick Cave on a par with LCD Soundsystem in terms of popularity. It's unlikely that LCD would do it, but its not impossible.

That Nick Cave set a couple of years back is one of the greatest live sets I have ever had the pleasure to witness/hear.

I really don't believe that LCD Soundsystem is within the budget, but we can still dream and hope...

***UPDATE***

This popped up briefly on their FB page earlier, since been removed:

<Image removed - this is not an official Body & Soul image (they've contacted us) and info on it is incorrect>

PS, if anyone has a spare hat, I'm feeling mighty peckish.

02-02-2016 05:09PM

Holy ****! I hope that's real!

Actaully didn't a lot of those acts play already?

Lights On · 02-02-2016 05:33PM

If that lineup is real, they've really outdone themselves this year! LCD and Tame Impala?? Yes please!

Starting to feel a bit bad for EP though, lots of names you'd be thinking for them this year have been popping up at the smaller festivals

ghostdancer · 02-02-2016 05:40PM

as John Hopkins has no gigs planned for the rest of the year, and Tame Impala are in the US on the Thursday, i doubt it's real, and more than likely just ripped off from this image, seeing as the background bits around the bandnames is different:

HausOfTony · 02-02-2016 06:00PM

John Hopkins should be Jon Hopkins too right?

Furious-Red · 02-02-2016 06:21PM

When i seen it first i knew it was too good to be true . Although could see LCD and Tame Impala popping up at Forbidden Fruit unless LCD do their own headline show in Kilmainham

Useful.Idiot · 02-02-2016 06:21PM

The design also looks like someone just typed out the text on top of the background image using MS Paint.

I smoked pot with Johnny Hopkins.

PabloAndRoy · 04-02-2016 03:57PM

Listening to Saul Williams' new album, really liking it. Hope he tours this new album in Europe. Would be good for B&S I think.

PabloAndRoy · 12-02-2016 11:02AM

here is another wonderful suggestion

the nonkeen album is a total stunner. They seem to be touring Europe in May ... Perfect B&S act I would say.

Last year Kiasmos, this year nonkeen. Perfect ...

So just Saul Williams and nonkeen .. thats all we need
