    Awful lineup so far, seems to just be people who played the student bar during the year.

    Headliners are going to have to be good to change peoples opinion.

    I'm a friend of Jonny's, disappointed with the line up but the abuse people are giving him is totally out of line.

    I have it on good authority that Crystal Castles are one of the headliners. Fact.
    Coming from you, I won't believe it until it is official

    Well they are playing in Glasgow two days later and oxegen this summer, not too much of a stretch.

    Their price tag would be the stretch

    I'd be very surprised if they play, they'd cost a huge amount to book and there's plenty more (and arguably better) DJs they could get for much cheaper.

    Not even arguably, definitely. Bloody awful commercial imitation tripe. Loved by the same people who think going to a club like ALT constitutes a rave and wearing a jumpsuit and a glowstick gives them a notion about dance music.

    Not only liked by the shutter-shade brigade...

    I had to lol at you being such a hipster complaining about how "commercial" they are like its a crime for an act to make money. Like those emo kids in South Park who flick their hair and call people "conformists".

    If Swedish House Mafia are headlining then I am in. Watched their documentary and the energy at their shows is amazing. However I agree with you in that they would cost far to much, so I wont get my hopes up.

    I've no issue with Dj's making money. I have an issue with the cheesy pop-dance that SHM and david guetta come out with.

    Commercial is not an insult, it is a description. The music is made to appeal to the masses and to me it feels like aural rape.

    Wouldn't be unlikely. I was at their gig up in Queens SU before Christmas so they do play quite small venues so UCD Ball would be a biggish gig for them.

    Same source is telling me Lily Allen will be performing a DJ set also. This could be a big turnaround

    Lily Allen djing wouldn't exactly be exciting to be honest though. She's a singer (a very good one and one I'd really enjoy live), not a dj.

    Yeah, if they could get her to perform (sing), that would be brilliant imo. Don't have much interest in seeing her DJ.

    You keep polluting my UCD section with your comments. I am hoping to turn the UCD section into a place for real intellectual debate but you seem to be actively working against this

    It says currently unavailable. That doesn't mean it's deleted.

    So you're better for having spent longer on boards than someone else?

    I would've thought quite the opposite! ;)

    (also I find you irritating...mate)

    Y'know, attempting to engage in conversation with a user right after they get banned is both pointless and rude.

    I know you're banned. I find it unfortunate.

    6 kids. Hope it wasnt the same woman. No one gains from that situation. Not you, Not her and not the kids.

    In fairness to Randolph, based on his normal posts and the timestamp on his last contributions, I'm guessing late night drunk posting is to blame :pac:

    Still no tickets available or headliners then?

    Ticket sales have been pushed back to Monday I think, no word on any of the headliners yet though. I would have thought theyd be trying to announce some headliners before ticket sales but apparently they dont have any finalised soooo....

    This is all very last minute isnt it? Ticket sales 10 days before the event? Reeks of bad organisation, doesnt bode well for the actual event.
