    Sasta there will be the odd amount of rough pill heads there, but they are easy enough to avoid and the festival is nothing like the Oxegen reputation of yore. Most attendees are fairly easy going and laid back, most are just here to have a good time. I wonder how the tickets are selling for this.

    Facebook

    Groove Armada pulled out..not a bad replacement :D

    unfortunately today we have some sad news. It's with a heavy heart that we have to announce that Groove Armada will be unable to perform at Life Festival 2013
    We received the following statement from the band:

    “Due to a medical emergency, Andy Cato from Groove Armada is unable to travel to the forthcoming shows in Ireland & Ibiza while he undergoes surgery for a herniated disc.

    Andy commented "Obviously I hate letting down the promoters and ticket buyers but in this situation there really is nothing I can do apart from to hope the operation works so I can at least start walking again."

    Tom and Andy hope that more positive news will follow post-surgery (today) and the rest of the summer shows will proceed as planned.”

    Here at Life HQ we have been totally overwhelmed with the love and support the festival has had this year. While it would have been a great honor to host Groove Armada at Life Festival 2013, unfortunately now due to circumstances completely out of our control this is not to be.

    Life Festival is an experience which is greater than the some of its parts and since every cloud has a silver lining, we are delighted to announce that after a day of hectic phone calls and lots of talk. Life festival has secured a special LEFTFIELD DJ SET to add to the already stellar lineup.
    We wish Andy a speedy recovery and look forward to working together in the future.

    Life must go on!

    fair play to them getting someone like that at short notice, they could have just said "oh well, he had to pull out, sorry", but they actually bothered to sort something else.
    i know it's only a DJ set, but Groove Armada was too, so not much difference really IMO, looking forward to it :)

    I wonder what a Leftfield DJ set will be like, will they have MCs rapping and stuff or will it just be remixes from the first and second albums.

    well Leftfield for the last few years is just Neil Barnes on his own, Paul Daley has been working on his own DJ stuff.
    so i'd say it will just be one of them playing various techno/dub songs, with probably a few Leftfield songs thrown in there. doubt there'll be any MCs.

    Jenny Greene apparently said on the radio last night that this has sold out completely, I heard from a mate. So has this actually sold out?

    Not sure if its sold out yet but id say it will be by friday...just saw this Twitter from Life

    Whoa its really starting to heat up. To say we are over excited here in Life HQ would be an understatement. We would like to inform everyone that it is highly unlikely there will be tickets available at the gate this year so if you are planning on coming to Life and dont want to be disappointed we would strongly advise you purchase your ticket very soon. Also remember Sunday only tickets will go on sale tomorrow morning.

    Hi just wondering if there are facilities to charge phones at Life Festival?

    New phones have terrible batteries and its a pain losing people and having no phone to contact them.

    There is excellent phone charging facilities there, the guy there last year had charging for smart phones, normal mobiles and ipods.

    there was someone on their facebook page organising a bus from Cork today or yesterday, look through the "posts by others" thing.

    weekend tickets completely sold out now too.

    So is this the first ever that Life has sold out in advance. After seven years, fair play to them.

    yep, good to hear festivals doing well, especially after last year supposedly being far from full.

    the bigger names on the lineup definitely playing a major part in it selling out IMO.
