AllTogetherNow Festival 2018

Furious-Red · 12-01-2018 4:24pm #1

Looks like POD are set to announce a new festival taking place over the August Bank Holiday weekend.

Looking at the image is it the same area they are using for Carl Cox?

Curraghmore Castle in Waterford.

Ferris_Bueller · 12-01-2018 7:22pm

Same weekend as Castlepalooza, Beatyard & Indiependence. POD are the same organisers who run Metropolis and Forbidden Fruit as far as I'm aware, so will be interesting to see what kind of lineup they have in store!

Yea its risky doing it the same weekend as 3 other festivals so they would want a strong line up or something that doesnt appeal to either of the 3 previous festivals

Rigor Mortis · 15-01-2018 10:01am

Or just a big enough marketing budget to blow the other three out of the water

A pity that they are choosing to go that weekend, but understandable if they reckon they have the muscle to do it.

Furious-Red · 15-01-2018 9:50pm

I presume it will be about a 10,000-20,000 capacity festival? Then i was thinking they book someone like The XX (unless they do Longitude)

Furious-Red · 22-01-2018 11:55am

Look whose over in England the weekend of the festival :pac::pac:

bodhrandude · 22-01-2018 6:09pm

So when is this line up getting released then?

Furious-Red · 22-01-2018 7:57pm

No word as of yet , Surely they will want to do it soon . Although with the Forbidden Fruit announcement last week they may want to wait till they announce this

Furious-Red · 23-01-2018 2:11pm

Personally i hope its not one of those electronic type festivals :pac::pac:

Not if its a camping festival. If you are running a camping based festival you want to hold people in the venue to maximise revenues

Bowlardo · 24-01-2018 11:28pm

Rumours groove armada (played the original weekend picnic) and chic are a booked according to the the the same thread on the waterford forum.

This could be really good if they learn from their mistakes of the picnic.
10-15,000 capcity.
Weekend camping only.
Focus on three stages - main stage, and 2 tents fair enough apart that they're not impacting on each others sound
Quality chill out zone
No ****ty advertising stalls that play pissy edm
Plenty of toilet facilities
Lots of independent food stall

Would Groove Armada still be headliners tho since they have done a fair few DJ sets over here?? , obviously i know wouldnt be a DJ set I remember seeing them at Pukkelpop in 2010 and they were unreal but they were not on the main stage.

Having said that id be happy with them but i think they would need someone stronger as the a headliner beside Chic

ghostdancer · 25-01-2018 12:22am

Groove Armada have no concerts announced this summer so far, so can't see them playing. if they are there, it'll probably be a DJ set.

lc180 · 26-01-2018 1:42pm

POD seem to have a habit of just re-using the same musicians over and over again for their festivals.
Complete speculation but wouldn't be surprised if we see a few of the old reliables.... Chic, Flaming Lips, Jamie XX, Booka Shade, Flying Lotus, KORMAC, Leftfield, Mount Kimbie, Jungle, etc etc etc.

I'm hoping it's not an electronic only festival but thats probably unlikely.

Jimmy Cliff for August 5th ?

I have to credit another boardsie for this. Really hoping it's not a ska/dub/reggae fest.

Nicely spotted, that's a good start, a reggae legend.

lc180 · 06-02-2018 11:48pm

Bestival announced their lineup today. Same weekend as AllTogetherNow.

Grace Jones is another POD favourite, i wonder would she be a possibility.

Touts & Shame are also featuring at this festival. Touts tweeted about same. They are on a smaller stage. I think they are on, same day.

You mean at Bestival and not alltogethernow?

Would love Shame at this (altogethernow) festival.

mgkelly · 07-02-2018 5:03pm

Yeah, Bestival, sorry. Never know, might come across to do EP also, or theAllTogetherNow Festival, too.

lc180 · 10-02-2018 12:11am

No line-up yet but drone promo of the festival site.

Song in the video is 'Corn' by Nils Frahm so that may be an indication (or not) he's be playing.

BurtMacklin · 10-02-2018 9:24pm

Chemical brothers and Grove Armada apparently. Chems would be great.

Nils Frahm would be better

lc180 · 12-02-2018 10:25am

Chic are booked for gigs in Cork and Dublin this June so it's prob safe to say they aren't booked for this festival.

Any idea how true this is? I wish they'd release the info!

lertsnim · 12-02-2018 12:58pm

They'd want to start announcing acts. Halfway through February already.

Maybe its a case of will they announce Body & Soul first and this after or the other way around.

Jesus Jones are touring at the minute...

SteelyDanJalapeno · 16-02-2018 4:32pm

Early Bird weekend tickets on sale next week 150 quid, no line up yet, so no idea if that's good value or not.
some more details : 10k capacity, kids under 12 free with families, strictly over 21s otherwise, 10 stages and an outside crystal ballroom.
More announcements due in days to weeks.

Ocean Colour Scene have a festival announcement tomorrow (obviously not one of the headliners but still are a good mid afternoon band).

They will need to announce some strong acts to get the sales going

PabloAndRoy · 19-02-2018 10:02am

This will be interesting

Top two rows work for me. 25 minutes drive from home. Count me in.

Edit:Oh and I've only just noticed Saul Williams. Fantastic.

greenspurs · 19-02-2018 1:26pm

Its no Trafest

- but an OK start ......

dmm82 · 19-02-2018 1:31pm

Anyone know what the hot chip megamix Is?

Suckit · 19-02-2018 1:32pm

It would want to get a lot better than that if the early bird tickets are discounted.

Well it's 10 stages, 30 acts announced so far for 3 days.
That's 1 act per stage per day, I'm sure there is plenty more to come.

MattD · 19-02-2018 1:36pm

Fleet Foxes, Mogwai, Ghostpoet, Kelela and First Aid Kit are nice bookings. Not an instant Booker for me, but I will muse on this for the week...

Edit: I'd be remiss to not mention Talos, very nice act. Bit of quality all throughout the poster which is good.

not sure what more you're expecting, it's a 10k festival, final price is €180.
compared to Body & Soul festival, which is pretty much its direct competitor (same size, similar setting and "vibe"), then this lineup is excellent for what it is.

I think it's better than the final B&S lineup from last year....

Ferris_Bueller · 19-02-2018 2:01pm

Pretty good first announcement, won't be buying a ticket yet but if there are 10 stages surely more to come. Thought Fleet Foxes and Mogwai might have played at picnic.
