Life Festival 2014

bodhrandude · 2014-01-17 00:05:46

I seen a few announcements on the Life facebook page that an announcement is imminent, just thinking of possible headliners, Jon Hopkins is playing Sonar a few weeks later and seeing that Life use some of the same organisers he could be in for a shout there, I hoping maybe Moderat too.

Hi Guys, i can't do the Body and soul weekend this year (Grrrrrr) but i'm going to glastonbury the weekend after though so all is not lost! Greed has gotten the better of me and i'm looking into a sunday ticket if funds permit. Anyone got any ideas of the sunday line up?
I had a quick look at tour dates and it looks like Darkside are playing friday night (playing Croatia Sunday), Mount Kimbie Saturday, Caribou Sunday, John Grant Saturday (Playing UK Sunday)

As long as you're not planning on buying any jack and jills then 150 will do just nicely!

At least you're sorting tickets now...but be aware they are likely to sell out at least a week before the festival like they did last year!

I was volunteering last year and had the privilege of watching out for fence jumpers and sneakers. Hilarious watching people get destroyed by nettles and brambles in the woods as they avoid security.

Also met a few lads bombed off their faces wandering around trying to get over the fence. One of them had a fake ticket that he'd just given 50 quid for. Worst counterfeit i've ever seen, he had no chance of getting in but I pointed him in the direction of the main entrance anyway :P

Yeah i'm sure it was unreeeall alright, trying to relax and have a good time while hiding your naked wrist and hoping security doesn't cop on to the fact that you don't have a wrist-band!

Ah well, I guess they can just sneak back in again if they get chucked out

Suprised there isnt a life festival 2014 playlist on spotify, life seem to have a official page on it and theres a 2012 and 13 playlist there, would be handy for discovering some new tunes / artists

Haven't been to Life since 2011, trying to remember if they let you bring drink into the stage areas once the bars close like Electric Picnic?

they said something on twitter earlier like no alcohol is allowed at the stages during licensing hours, i assume that means after those hours your own is fair game

You know those sports backpacks with built-in water bags for athletes?

Yeah.

Met a guy at a festival a few years back, he had one of those full of tequila. Accompanied by a bag of lemon slices and a bottle of salt, he was going round selling shots to punters all night.

yeah - I as wondering about this the other day also but then I looked back and saw that I didn't book my bus ticket till May 16th last year, so maybe it wasn't announced till that time last year as well ....

Marathon sports did the buses from Dublin last year but there is nothing up on their own website about it this year yet anyway

Might seem like a silly question but it says on the site that the festival ends at midnight Sunday and campsite closes midday Monday. Does that mean the music ends each night at midnight or going in to the very early hours of the morning?
Doesnt seem like the type of festival that would end at midnight each night.
