    haven't been to this before - been at the last 6 EPs and ATN last year.
    Was going to try B&S or Sea Sessions this year.
    any feedback from people who have been to EP/ATN how does this compare?
    older crowd etc?

    ATN tried to emulate it and put on a good festival but couldn't capture the magic of B&S. It is (or was - I haven't camped at it for 4 years now but went almost every year before that) the best festival experience in Ireland.

    Increase to 199.50? thought I paid 200 last year? Price increase not totally unexpected. For me it'd still be worth it even tho I can't go this year. I would like if they could extend the music until later on the Sunday night though. I seem to remember everyone being back at the tents earlier than we'd have liked last year.

    It seemed to me that ATN was what B&S used to be. And B&S is what EP used to be. And that's how festivals progress. I think last year was my final year at EP to be honest. And I only went in case I felt I'd be missing out.

    It's normal, moved from tier 1 to tier 2.

    These things usually come in threes so I imagine another hike (tier 3) before the end of the year.

    In light of his distinguished service, surely we can let him off with a warning?

    ATN seems to be selling pretty well, any chance for 10th anniversary B&S pull something big act wise. Patty smith would have been brilliant but ATN got her.

    Here's hoping. But I wouldn't think it would be Patti Smith or the like. ATN seems to be going more towards the indie/guitar based side of things, so I wonder will B&S go more electronic this year?

    They said the end of the month, so hopefully we will know by this time next week!

    So I presume their lineup announcement will either be Wednesday 27th or Thursday 28th February, curious to see who they book. :)

    Tuesday the 26th according to their twitter.

    I’ve a feeling the line up won’t be as obscure as last year with more well known artists since they’ve been really promoting the 10 years aspect but going by b&s never know what you get with them. It’s always an amazing weekend regardless.

    Would love to see Talos (new album is great). On the more obsure front, someone like DJ Lycox or Okzharp would be great.

    Any chance of Four Tet playing? Not playing the other Irish festivals by the looks of it

    He played the first one I think in 2010, he should be invited back like they've had Jon Hopkins three times now Four Tet is just as good.

    Would Weezer be a fit for Body&Soul their tour dates suggest they might pop up. https://weezer.com/tour

    Underworld or Kraftwerk are my predictions. The former are almost certainly going to be playing here somewhere this summer, they just haven't announced where. Kraftwerk would be perfect for body and soul.

    Does it usually take this long for them to announce the line up?? I'm off the booze from Feb - June due to exams and work. B&S falls the weekend after I finish my exams. Cannot wait.

    I'm going to guess Bon Iver and/or Tame Impala. That'd be the dream.
