Gold Panda and Public Enemy?! Nice. The rest I'm not overly enamored with.

I like little dragon.

BadTurtle

Another decent announcement. 2 good (albeit very frequent) headliners in the lips and 2 many djs, public enemy, gold panda and warpaint are all decent, and TEED and little dragon are worth checking out.

Oasis_Dublin

Disappointing. Not even an ageing band who used to be on Creation, or a modern band who claim they are "the best band in the world."

Happy I didn't buy the pre-sale tickets now. Keep the money for something else.

Going to have a hard time picking which day now. Saw Public Enemy at Glastonbury last year and they put on a great show.

Easy Rod

Probably just the Saturday for me but can't wait, great little festival!

Rough Sleeper

Was hoping for something a bit more left of field than 2ManyDJ for their big dance act. They're kinda fun, but Aphex Twin they are not.

Furious-Red

Not mad about the line up so might wait longer and see who else is added

Xenji

Switch Bell X1 and Public Enemy around and you would have a fantastic lineup for Saturday.

Aphex twin didn't exactly go down a treat in 2011. 2 many Djs are more of a crowd pleaser.

Also because AT was on and it was still really bright didnt really help either .

And the fact that he didn't play one recognisable tune.
Better off in a tent for the big electronic heads, half the crowd didnt know what to
Make of him.

It says '2manyDJs dj set' on the poster, is there any significance in that or is it just pointing out the obvious?

If you were an Aphex Twin fan, that set was magic.

But point taken that 2ManyDJs are good crowd pleasers, though lately their sets have been very pre-scripted to tie in with the visuals they have.

Saw F Buttons in the Button Factory last year. Great gig. Like a giant wall of sound coming at you. Any chance that Flying Lotus and F Buttons will be on at the same time as these are the main two i'd like to catch on the Sat

do they usually do a live set? or at least as live as can be with their own remixes?

it's only this year I've noticed them billed as a DJ set at other gigs, so could well just be one of them DJing.

I doubt 99% of the crowd know the difference between a live set and DJ set anyway, and when i've seen them before i can't imagine many of the songs were being done live so probably won't make much of a difference.

At Indie few years ago they were down as DJ Set too . But are'nt all their sets a dj set though?

ghostdancer

I would have thought so, it's been so long before that Indiependence that I saw them last that I can't remember anything about their set before that anyway.
their Indie gig was full of classics and their own remixes, so should be the same at FF i would think.

Corholio

Sick of seeing 2manyDj's on Irish festivals here.

Hoping for something special from the Picnic, because FF and Longitude are really disappointing.

That_Guy

Not a bad line up but may save my money for Indiependence instead though obviously depends on line up announcement there.

Furious-Red

Yea gonna save money for EP (if the line up is anything like the leak that is going around) and then see who has the better line up of festivals during the summer .

Longitude is number 2 after EP at the moment

It certainly was magic, especially when Aphex dropped tracks like this.

Only decent acts at Longitude are Massive Attack and CHRVCHES. Rest of it is pop radio muck.

Bonobo, Eagulls, Parquet Courts, Koreless, Samaris, heck even First Aid Kit, would beg to differ.

Hopefully Indiependence pull off a few good acts. Body & Soul has a decent lineup IMO will try and head to that.

Abroad, Pinkpop and Latitude are seriously tempting just the travelling adds a bit more.

They can all they want, bonobo and parquet courts are grand, nothing special at all. If this is the best the festival has to offer, they must have spunked an awful lot on ****e like Ben Howard, Hozier, Bastille etc.
