    Life was my favourite festival of last year - and it also won "Best Irish Dance Festival" for 2009. I'm really excited about this year as I'm playing :D:D:D

    Anyone here going?

    **** me sideways - I'm there with bells on! That is by far the best line-up I've ever seen for a festival of that size AND I'm going to see Villalobos the week before in Queens student union bar!

    Pretty damn good price wise also. Remember paying something like €40 to see Infected Mushroom in the Tivoli, Benn Simms and the Surgeon was €20 in Tripod a few weeks back, three day festival with camping for the price of going to see two or three of the main artists.

    They could completely annihilate the picnic next year if this goes right. The EP promoters are completely alienating the dance crowd for the last two years as they see them as the ''wrong'' crowd, first getting rid of the bodytonic village and then even the cosby stage was relegated.

    Body and Soul is the last bastion with people like fourtet and hypnotic brass ensemble, not to mention homegrown stuff like DJ Kormac and the big band, 3epkano (who were class) and even the orb who I crewed for last year. But that said, they too have started their own festival.

    Now that the picnic has gone all folksy I reckon there's a big gap in the market for a *big* non-knacker dance festival. Something like garden party a couple years back but for a few days. Although, that said, this seems to be the year of the small intimate festival with stuff like Solas, Bealtaine, Green Gathering, Cois Farraige, Rory Gallagher Festival, No Place Like Dome, Body and Soul Festival, YES! Festival, that mad trance thing in dalymount park with the paramilitaries or whatever the hell was going on there :D and all those other little raves and stuff like that beach party in howth coming up.

    Woohoo, cracking lineup alright. Have been to all but 1 life festival so far. Kind of a shame it's getting bigger each year, but hardly surprising really.

    More of a psy fan myself, but won't be missing Liebing, Sims, Villalobos...

    Also really looking forward to Hilight Tribe and Eat Static!! Not to mention a bit of dubstep, d'n'b.
    Now let's hope the weather is as good as last year!!

    I wonder if Villalobos will bring a bad tune with him. None to be heard at timewarp :)

    Schedule will not be released until a few days before. Villalobos is playing on the Saturday from what I hear - apparently he's playing in a big open space by the lake, and they want everyone at it so there will not be too much else going on at the same time. So many other big acts to play, I doubt it will only be local talent on Friday.

    I've heard he's playing early enough, and to be honest I'm not sure if a minimal set would be suited to a scenic location during the daytime.

    Thanks

    most folks had a great time, a few folks had their buzz ruined by scummers to varying degrees.

    Personally, I think that as the festival moves more towards being about money and less about the musicians and audience then you'll have more of the scummer type. I've gone to it for years, played it twice but couldn't be bothered this year.
