None last year, unlikely to change this year. Some people are worried about Disclosure attracting them on Saturday but I can't see it. Usually just prejudiced indie heads that think anything without guitars is a scumbag attractor.

I'm going for the weekend and I think the Saturday will be a bit rougher than usual. Time will tell I suppose

Sense are involved this year and said before on FB that they'll be running official afterparties. From their posts it looks like it could be a Disclosure DJ set, presumably in The Academy

Cheers didn't know that, Disclosure DJ set would be brilliant. Wonder would I be hoping for too much with a Bondax set somewhere on the Sunday night?

Disclosures live sets are much better imo.

Oh I'd agree, but they're playing a live set at Longitude earlier that night (I assume?!) and doubt they would play another an hour or two later in the same city. I just meant they are a huge act to get in for an after party.

Whelanslive is proud to announce its involvement with Longitude Festival at Marlay Park, Dublin on July 18th-20th. Now in it second year, Longitude has quickly established itself as the default event for gig lovers to get their summer music fix. Adding to that, a location as picturesque as Marlay Park is the icing on the cake.
The quality line up at Longitude is the principle factor for Whelan’s decision to associate itself with this incredible festival. The diverse range of acts, many of whom we have had the pleasure of performing in our iconic venue, makes Whelan’s and Longitude a perfect fit. The ethos of quality new artists with influential established acts showcases core values that sit very comfortably with our own.
Whelan’s tent is the 2000 capacity tent formally known as the Woodlands stage. The line-up this year features:
Parquet Courts, Bipolar Sunshine, Afghan Whigs, Conor Oberst, Samaris, Eagulls, San Fermin and Son Lux, amongst others.
2014 marks 25 years of Ireland’s most famous live music venue. In that time Whelan’s has grown and blossomed into a vital hub for the Irish music lover. Its M.O. was to create a platform that would nurture young Irish talent, while at the same time, cater for international stars. Whelan’s has continued to develop but never lose its unique identity.
2014 makes this year a quarter century filled with wonderfully diverse musical nights with many more to come. Whelan’s is hosting some very special events throughout the year to mark the occasion. So far The Frames, Damien Rice, Hozier, Something Happens, Sharon Shannon and God Is An Astronaut have played spectacular shows in the venue. We look forward to many more…

Looking at getting the shuttle bus from town out to Longitude, gates open at 1.30 but I wonder what time should I be there, on the Saturday? I'm thinkin around 4? Doubt many acts would have taken to the stage by then.

ghostdancer · 12-07-2014 9:29pm

acts will start from 2pm, depends on who you want to see really....

From 2? I see, Tourist is the first act really, I'm not bothered about everything before that!

Ferris_Bueller · 13-07-2014 1:43pm

Are the stage times announced yet or does anyone know when they will be released?

Lia_lia · 13-07-2014 2:03pm

^ don't think so! Waiting on them to...

i124Q · 13-07-2014 2:03pm

Do yous think this will happen? Have they done it together at any other festivals they've both been part of?
