Can anyone remember which night had the afterparty last year in meeting house square? I think it was only one night but can't remember which one.

It was the Sunday night.

I see the Workmans Club mentioned on the poster this year so I'd imagine some of the after parties will be there this year also.

Announcement next week. I imagine it'll just be small Irish bands and Djs, maybe 1 or 2 average size acts. We presumably have the main acts on the main stage and the headliners of the other two stages already.

There are too many DJs in the festival, I hope there are more bands. One or two big names should be great. I'm looking forward to Little Dragon, Warpaint and Public Enemy.

there are only 2 DJs, perhaps 3, announced so far

BadTurtle

I suppose if you consider Flying Lotus, Gold Panda etc Djs then you just consider all electronic music DJing. Which is fairly reductive.

ersemi

Yes, that's what I meant. Too much electronic. I mean, I like electronic if its like Little Dragon, at least you can see people doing something. I prefer bands who uses electronic music than just electronic music guys.

Hidden Agenda mentioned on facebook that they will be announcing the lineup for their stage sometime this week.

I wonder if Warpaint's set will be as bland and unmoving as their EP one from last year.

MeetReality

Detroit Swindle playing on the Sunday according to Gigatools. Presume they will be in the Hidden Agenda tent.

What are the chances of this selling out? Might grab a ticket last minute funds permitting.

I doubt it'll sell out before 24th May, if the weather forecast looks decent at that time I would say there's a good chance it'll sell out.

ghostdancer

didn't sell out last year as far as i can remember even with good weather, certainly not before the day of it anyway, so doubt it will this year either.

Two of my friends bought day tickets on the Saturday at around 6 last year. Don't think it'll sell out.

Oh good. Flying Lotus clashing with Flaming Lips. FFS.

MeetReality

Incredibly abysmal compared to other years.

ersemi

Any of those is interesting? I saw Dublin Afrobeat Ensemble last year. I like Afrobeat.

JJ

And So I Watch You From Afar added to Saturday? Yes, please! With them and the Bellies and the Flaming Lips, that's a nice 1, 2, 3 punch.

Agreed. Could take or leave Sunday so might just buy a day ticket this year.

If you can, check out Vann Music. Very good band. Saw them at Indiependence on one of the smaller stages and the place was hopping. Be interested to see how they do on the main stage.

1st time going forbidden fruit this year, where do the crowd generally go after it ends? As I hear it finishes up at around 11.

ghostdancer

anywhere in the city centre really, it's only a 15min walk away.
there'll probably be after-parties in the Workmans club, and Button Factory as both are running stages....

Does anyone know what drinks they'll serve at the bars this year? It's a bulmers event but I presume they'll sell more than cider. Basically I'm trying to find out if they'll have stout! Did a search on this thread and don't see anything. Thanks

Bulmers, Becks, wine.

Have a vague feeling that one year there was a stall selling some sort of stout/craft beer, but definitely not from the main bars, and definitely didn't see it last year.

ghostdancer

apparently this week's Hot Press (with Wayne Cyone on the front) has the timetable and map in it....

BadTurtle

Yeah was looking for it online but no dice. Clever marketing in fairness to them. I'll just take a snapshot of it in a shop though.

Saruwatari

Anyone got an updated Spotify playlist with all the new additions? Might make one if there isn't any.

Can you throw it up here if you do?
