Forbidden Fruit 2013

that's good thinking, quite possible.

FF started following Rustie on twitter when they announced the Jagwar Ma cancellation, so would be great if it's him.

Did anybody else notice that the Facebook event for Forbidden Fruit now has Ghostpoet on it after the cancellation of Jagwar Ma?

Teeny little mistake there I think, but looks like that's the replacement act!

after parties in the Button Factory again this year, perhaps other places too.
heard about the Sunday one, pretty great if you like the electronic acts on that day.

Quick question for anyone who has been previous years- is there a shop/stall selling bottles of minerals/soft drinks?

thanks! :-)

Yep there is a good selection of food stands inside which will stock soft drinks and the bars should also sell them.

The new fb cover photo for FF now has Ghostpoet instead of Jagwar Ma so it looks official. Well spotted!

I doubt there will be anymore acts added, the numbers are roughly the same as sat/sun last year. Now just to wait for the stage by stage breakdowns and the inevitable clashes

Was fairly proud I spotted it haha!

Hoping that Health play before Crystal Castles and Kasabian on the Saturday. A few other bands I'll go see,but those three are the main ones. Says there's four stages too, could be a strange breakdown!

I assume an Irish focused stage is inevitable? What way do the other stages work?

Are you searched on your way into the site ? Would it be easy enough for someone to bring in a sneaky naggin or two

Most of my group tried to bring in spirits. 2 people out of I think the 8 or so who tired who tried were successful

Original Stage (Mainstage)

Undergrowth Stage (2nd biggest, in a circus tent style thing, think 2fm stage at Oxegen just smaller :pac:)

Lighthouse Stage (smaller then 2nd but same deal)

The Chuckleberry Lounge (comedy tent)

Thats what it was like last year!

Hidden Agenda are hosting one of the tents on Sunday.

Fair play to them for releasing the breakdown earlier this year, looks like they are listening to feedback.

Delighted Austra are in a tent and not clashing with any of the headliners, pity about Le Galaxie on at same time as Kasabian but I can live with that.

Really looking forward to checking out some new bands at FF. Genuinely I only knew about 4 acts on the bill last year and still had great time.

Furious-Red

Raging about Kasabian/Lee Scratch Perry/Le Galaxie clash :mad:

Joekers

Yea real shame bout Le Galaxie and Kasabian was really looking foward to see Le Galaxie

You know the way you watched the wire/breaking bad and it so good you want to share it with people and there like "yeah what the **** it this mad yolk on about" and then they the watch it and they're all about it.

I have seen chic 3 times and I can't wait to see 12,000 people full of bulmers finest going mental to them....kinda jealous it's not my first time to see them though

I stopped by the royal Kilmainham today for a sneak. Looks like they have started to assemble the bar and undergrowth stage.

The ground looks good and I noticed that there seems to be a solid tarmac walkway between the bar and stages. Good news as that the white plastic decking used at festivals is pretty sh%tty and slippy as hell when wet

If d'weather is to be believed, we are in for a wet week.
