how can bands apply to play at indiependence???

Irish_rat

My first time at indie last year, was very impressed. I have the loyalty tickets booked this year. 70 euro is a steal IMO. Hope the headliners are a bit stronger than indie 13' though. WAS were brilliant on the Friday night.

Lineup announcement tomorrow, excited!

Cage The Elephant & The Courteeners are 2 names I've seen mentioned. Both seem to be free that weekend too.

Also I see they followed Frank Turner recently on Twitter, he is playing a festival in the UK that weekend so looks like a possibility!

Mushy

What time is the announcement?

MattD

Announcement is supposed to be at 7. There could be a leak before that though I'd imagine...

I'll be at the launch, I might see what I can scope out...

Kinda surprised how quiet this thread is!

Anyone know if you could just turn up to the launch in Cork? Or would you have to have an invite?

€70 for an early bird is incredible value considering who played it last year.

Wu-Tang/Bell X1/Bastille/Kodaline are all headliners in their own rights now who'd be charging ~€50 for an O2 gig nowadays.

Great set up, great festival.

SusanneKn

Definitely one of the best Festivals in Ireland for me.

Awful line-up compared to last year

Eod100

Didn't realise Sultans of Ping were still around.. Not too shabby a line-up!

That_Guy

Not too bad. Really enjoyed myself last year. Didn't know an awful lot of the acts but sure that's half the fun of these festivals.

I reckon it'll need at least three more big-ish name additions to the line up to convince me to head back this year.

HighClass

Not a bad lineup, Public Enemy are always great live. Was hoping Scroobius Pip & Dan La Sac would be at EP though.

deisedude

Kind of disappointed. Have my ticket already anyway but none of the headliners have the wow factor

ghostdancer

very little there to interest me. any of the ones i'd like to see play pretty regularly here anyway. will see Public Enemy at Forbidden Fruit.
might go to Castlepalooza that weekend instead.

Irish_rat

Its not great but there's more to come. I like White Lies alot. I'll be there anyhow, great little festival for the bank holiday weekend after the Galway Races week

E.Scifo

White Lies were fantastic last time they played. Really great line up, haven't seen Sultans in at least 15 years

JP Liz V1

Pretty poor so far imo

Sorry De La Soul... getting my first nights of EP and Indie mixed up :pac:

Even looking back on 2013 there; We Are Scientists, The Fratellis, Ryan Sheridan, Funeral For A Friend as support acts to the headliners.

Some additions for Indiependence: Hozier, The Minutes, Hudson Taylor, Dan Croll, Tvvins, The Altered Hours, Elastic Sleep, The Vincent(s), Toy Soldier and the Slow Motion Heroes.

Seriously happy with these additions Hudson Taylor were great last year.

Praying for Frank Turner or another big name to pop up, it'd really be the icing on the cake for me.

Also, if anyone needs a tent pitched... give the scouts a shout! We'll be onsite all weekend :P [/self promotion]

kaislinn

Is this more than likely the complete line up? Aside from the Bacardi stage and spoken word and stuff...

There will probably be another announcement in June or July, just before ticket prices go up. :P

Jesus Juice

Mention of a surprise addition on the FB soon... Tame Impala are just finished a tour of Europe at the end of July that suspiciously leaves out Ireland... Could it be them?
