    Was at Life back in 2009, great weather, serious set up, super vibe. I think I'm ready for another shot at it! Only fear is that it might have grown a bit too much, reports from mates last year suggested there was a lot of scumbags, fights and a good bit of robbing? I know these are the pitfalls of any festival, just don't wana ruin my rose tinted view of summer 2kaiiiii9 #whenthebeourswerefine

    I was there last year, dacent vibes all weekend. No issues, knackers outnumbered ten to one by sound heads.

    Garda presence minimal, don't really notice them..

    Only problem was on the last day when everyone was packing up, loads of scavengers, thieves and space-cadet casualties wandering round the campsite. I was working break-down and returned to my tent just in time to find some spaced out zombie prick going through my bag in my tent. My mate next door had a few bits and pieces stolen earlier that day too.

    I searched yer man, got all my stuff back and led him like a feckin sheep down to security where he got turfed out fairly rapid. Off his head he was :rolleyes:

    Where did you see that there would be an announcement today? I can't see them say anything on their site or facebook

    Someone answered one of my queries about the launch date that I posted in early January on the Life festival facebook page, they said 16th March but I then heard from others that it will be this Wednesday the same date as the EP launch.

    Well considering how behind schedule they were with the original line-up announcement, I wouldn't hold my breath ;)

    I think they just do Sunday tickets like the Picnic.

    Considering going to Life this year, hoping that I'll be able to handle it though (first time festival goer, 25 years old too, so much wasted time :P )

    Maya Jane Coles debut album was great, will definitely be there for that at least.

    Doubt Digweed is, he's playing at that movement festival in Detroit the same weekend...which i'd love to go to someday. And also NY the Sunday, serious jetlag if he is playing at Life:)

    Jesus that would be a sellout.:D

    I would love some serious drum and bass players at this. Ed rush, optical, Audio, Decibel point, Black sun empire, calyx just to name a few... one can dream.

    I've never been to Life before. What's the crowd like? Is it scummy at all? I don't mean to sound snobby but I'm just not able for dirtbags anymore.

    Very surprised and happy with the strength of that announcement today, did not think they would announce as many big acts as they did. Haven't been before but really looking forward to this now! Who do people think will be headlining each night now that we know the majority of the acts (I assume).

    there's a few more "heads" around than other festivals, but i didn't see any trouble last year. it's overwhelmingly just a normal festival crowd.

    Cool. It's not a deal breaker but I'm a bit battle worn these days. You know yourself.

    Saw Dusky play a few months back, very good gig. Also looking forward to Blawan and Hot Since 82. I wonder is this the last announcement or will there be a few more additions.
    Thought I knew my dance music but there are a lot from those 2nd additions I don't know, are many Irish DJs? I'll have to check them out.
    It can be exciting going to a DJ you havent heard of, they can pull off brilliant sets
