I did the early bird last year and didnt get the tickets until mid August.

Battleflag

Hopefully they get TV on the Radio, with a new album out chances are high!

Zero chance of OF now they're playing Oxegen. Annoyed.

ghostdancer

yeah, i'd prefer OF didn't play here at all than tempt me to go to oxegen to see them.
however, reading the oxegen thread, i'm reminded how much i absolutely hate oxegen and the children that go, so i'll still be giving it a miss.

i doubt they'd be one of the few who've played oxegen and EP the same year, so maybe they might announce a gig here for winter once they've played oxegen.

I thought the same thing less than a minute ago.

That is really annoying. Hopefully they come back and do their own show later in the year.

Am a bit underwhelmed by this announcement.

Ditto. Not fussed on any of them bar Blonde Redhead really. A few I'm not familiar with I'll have to check out though.

you're as big a disney clubber as the rest of them

Nothing there that has me any more interested in going to EP. I liked initial lineup but these additions are weak imo. I guess I'll be holding off on getting a ticket for another while so.

H8GHOTI

Average additions. Wouldn't be into any of them really. Public Enemy might be good.
The Vaccines (this years The Drums) are playing as well. Was expecting them on that list today.

I fear that Forbidden Fruit & the gigs in Marlay Park might be taking away some acts that would be at EP otherwise. Would like to see Aphex Twin, Wild Beasts, Beach House, 2 Many DJs & Rodrigo Y Gabriela. Hopefully a couple of them might be added closer to September.

For me this year, so far, they have good headliners but only a couple of the 'smaller' names are good. They'll probably improve that over the coming months, as is usually the case.

lordgoat

PE,
Zola Jesus and bestyycoasty, three more, that line up has really gotten stronger.

honru

Yeah this lineup could well see me heading back to EP.

simpler times!

Santigold was ridiculous and awesome last time I saw her at EP. I like Zola Jesus a lot too. Wouldn't make me run to Stradbally on their own like, but they make me pretty delighted to be going anyway.

Yeah hoping that they are just waiting for marley to sell out before announcing that they are playing EP, but probably not, Poxegena and other gigs are stealing some very good acts.

not really anyone on that last list to get me excited!

mcwhirter

Undertones are worth seeing, saw them in dublin a few years back, no feargal sharkey though!!

Quick question, What's the situation for shuttle buses running from Portlaoise to the festival site, was thinking of staying in a b&b or hotel and bussing out from there as i completely hate camping.

Any info much appreciated!

are Rodrigo Y Gabriela confirmed for this yet? if so, I could well go to it

Don't think so, they're playing the gigs in Marlay Park this year (who knows if they'll be added after those though)

H8GHOTI

In the US on 3rd Sep, so very doubtful.
