For anyone who is interested (not sure if this was posted already), according to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' website, they are playing 21st July, which is the Sunday.

Hopefully they don't clash with Kraftwerk. It'd be nice if they were a one-two punch on the main stage to finish up the day.

Might be a nice idea to create a "boards lineup". If anybody sees any of their favourite bands announcing that they are playing a certain night, add it to the list.

Friday 19th July
Phoenix

Saturday 20th July
Vampire Weekend

Sun 21st July
Kraftwerk
Yeah Yeah Yeahs


*obviously not a definitive list. Don't complain if they change dates

Are Vampire Weekend confirmed for the Saturday? I checked their website and couldn't see mention of the date? I presume this has been deduced from their other commitments.

The Guardian

The skangers are likely to hit this bigtime on saturday - just saying.
Might destroy the VW gig, cause it'll be late in the day etc.

why are they likely to go on the Saturday?

The Guardian

its usually the day when the daytrippers flock in isnt it??

(excluding EP, when sunday was the only day open for day passes)

Oxegen was taken over by a wave of daytrippers on saturdays if i remember correctly. you'll have the same here, mark my words

The Guardian

Could be really messy.
Some of the skangers will try to fit a whole weekends destruction into one evening.

if i were joe duffy, i'd be getting a good nights sleep on that sunday.

Dazzler0911

I can't see skangers flocking in to see Vampire Weekend in all fairness...it's hardly Swedish House Mafia, Avicii, Tiesto etc

No doubt there'll be the odd scaldy about but can't see hoards of skangers going into this

The Guardian

i remember being dragged to a snow patrol gig a few years ago in marlay
it was packed with skangers
the music is secondary, usually

well the Saturday at Forbidden Fruit with Leftfield, Bloody Beetroots, and Booka Shade, amongst others, was scum-free, so I doubt they're going to venture even further afield for Vampire Weekend and acts like Villagers and Modest Mouse.....

people seem to love complaining about how the scum will ruin everything. IIRC, Electric Picnic last year was supposed to be a trail of destruction, fighting and rapes without Oxegen on.....

I think you're comparing apples and oranges here. Oxegen and EP are rural camping festivals that target a wider variety of music fans while this is an urban, no-camping festival that appeals to a more narrow selection of music fans. If Forbidden Fruit is anything to go by, this festival should be mostly skanger free.

The Guardian

marlay park is very open to ticketless attendees
i hope they do a better job on this compared to previous events

Thundercats Ho

Yeah, everyone knows Saturday gigs are full of "scum" :rolleyes:

You're talking out of your arse.

Synode

The Guardian - Did you get bored of talking shíte in the rugby forum and decide to come over here?

bleach94

Anyone know which day Jake Bugg is playing? Might get a day ticket myself if I'm around

I am BUZZING for this. I live about a 10 minute walk away, ideal and a great lineup.

Do not respond to mod posts in thread. Do so again and you're banned.


edit.


Ok kids, no more warnings. No more off topic posts.

grudgehugger

Just did a quick spin round some official sites looking for day info for some of the electronica acts...

Kalkbrenner's site specifically has 20/7 (Saturday)
Hot Chip, Trentemoller are vague, just listing the weekend
SBTRKT is playing Melt on the Saturday so I guess Fri or Sun for him

bennyl10

With the ease of access form Marlay park to outside, I wonder will MCD increase security, at least for the main stage for this? I know from Green Day, people found it easy to stroll in without a ticket.

Synode

At the Kasabian gig last year they had the place well locked down. The whole park was closed for a few days while the various gigs were on.

Finally got their act together then.. will this be able to be done at a fully open festival though is the worry..

Id say the only reason they had extra security at Kasabian was because after the Pheonix Park gigs , but hopefully you are right they keep it up . Even Indiependence had extra security checks last year

Yep. Wider appeal, higher chance of like-events landing on front pages of the Irish Times or other media, etc. Oxegen did have some rock bands, though it's telling that the last large scale metal festival-like event MCD promoted was Ozzfest back in 2002. It must have done poorly, and Ozzy Osbourne cancelling didn't help.

Synode

The whole concert site was fenced in with 10 foot fences (think they were metal - they were sprayed with graffiti). I was up in the park while they were setting up and they fenced the full perimeter. On top of this they closed the whole park which as far as I remember was a first for the Marley Park gigs (I live down the road and am always up there with the wife and kids).

It might have had something to do with the SHM. Or they might have realised that a load of people were bunking in in previous years The security going in was the tightest I've ever seen at a gig (and I've been to tons over the years). Metal detectors, sniffer dogs and full body searches. I heard they were strip searching people they suspected of carrying drugs. The queues were a nightmare getting in but at least nobody was stabbed :pac:

if only the security on the day in marlay was as tight as the moderation of this thread. i think its common knowledge the scum will be there saturday so i might just go fri and sun, if only they were on boards and could confirm.

tbh i'm hoping for that at eminem.. it's probably the only gig I'll go to I'll even be happy too see a metal detector at :L

At GD in 2010, I walked in, from the middle of a que wasn't stopped once and asked for a ticket, my friend went for a walk from the centra, again ended up right beside me in the pit.. were horrific checks.. if Security is anythig like that again I may just chance my luck in July

I think you hold a very simplistic view of things

nocoverart

It seems the HIP thing nowadays for Festivals to live stream over YouTube, wonder will one of the Irish Festivals make the plunge soon? be pretty cool me thinks.

Cheers! Mightn't be in the country, pity as I missed his Academy show and this if his only other Irish appearance as far as i know

Wattle

I don't know what's with all this scare stuff about potential trouble. It's completely the wrong type of lineup for your average knife wielding knackerjack.

nocoverart

The only mention of anything to do with a Knife on a music forum should be about Karin and Olof

That was in the wake in SHM and was completely over the top, they were throwing people out for getting on someones shoulders without a warning and what not, I hated that atmosphere.

A happy medium is required, and with that line up there's no need for such heavy handed security.

rainbowdrop

Longitude Festival just confirmed headliners on their own facebook page:

Phoenix - Friday

Vampire Weekend - Saturday

Kraftwerk - Sunday

Full lineup will be announced Monday April 8th!

:cool:

bluugirl

Anyone have any idea what day Foals are likely to be playing? If I could manage to get YeahYeahYeahs and them in one day I'd be happy with a day ticket!

There's no way the scum will be there on Saturday or any day for that matter... they split up in January http://www.nme.com/news/scum--2/68165

Irish Aris

Having just booked a theatre in London and a gig in Glasgow, I decided that it will be one day for me. My only "must-see" is Kraftwerk and I'd consider 45 to see them a good value. So I'm gonna buy the ticket without knowing the full line-up. most likely I will end-up with 1-2 more bands that I like.

Mickolution

I don't understand this at all. Why are loads of "scum" going to go just because it's Saturday? It makes no sense to me.

Hot Chip just have listed on their website, 19th - 21st, all day but if you click on the link "Hot Chip Dublin" and scroll down, it seems to list 19th July. That'll make it a weekender for me so.

lordgoat

Hot Chip are playing? At a festival in Ireland?
