    Some morkeshing guru probably thought it would be a great idea to slowly but not too slowly build up excitement for the festival.

    Was really disappointed with the initial announcements, so I'm hoping tomorrow is a little bit better...

    I hate to be negative and I really want to like Forbidden Fruit but they just keep disappointing so far this year.

    some good names there. Jamie xx was great at Life last year, Hawtin, Kelela and Mount Kimbie (if live) would all be good too.
    still though, not really much to make me sell my Life ticket.

    dunno why they're putting on so much electronic/hiphop stuff with the weekend that's in it though. would be much better getting a load of the bands that are at Primavera. maybe they'll be announced later....

    presume Groove Armada is a DJ set like at IoW 2 weeks after. Mount Kimbie's only other appearance this year is a DJ set too.

    Agree with ghostdancer, can't see why they're going so electronic when Life is on the same weekend, went to Forbidden Fruit last year for the first time and it seemed like a nice crowd and atmosphere, I wonder will that be different this year.

    Most acts that have been announced all played at an Irish festival in the past year or two;
    Electric Picnic 2013 - Fatboy Slim, Wu Tang Clan, Mount Kimbie & Cyril Hahn
    Life Festival 2014 - Dusky, Jamie XX, Ejeca, Groove Armada

    Fairly sure Booka Brass Band played at a good few festivals last summer, and Booka Shade played at Life in 2013 I think.

    It has the makings of a fun weekend, but not doing anything to drag me in personally and I'm sure anyone who has been to the above festivals would say the same. If the weather good and electronic music is your thing, surely Life would be the better option that weekend, we will see if they have anything else up their sleeve but so far I'm underwhelmed.

    €99 early bird weekend tickets are sold out. New price is €109 before fees

    Not sure if this is the full price or if they will go up again.

    Yeah bit iffy on dates but I have definitely seen Ritchie Hawtin at EP in the last few years, and Book Shade played FF 3 years ago I think (maybe 4).

    Yeah the booka brass lads played most irish festivals last year but haven't played FF before.

    The second wave of early bird tickets ends on Monday so I'm guessing there might be another set of acts announced shortly after that.

    You can't. It's a day festival with a bar.

    I found security to be grand last year...was searched like but compared to Longitude (where I was stuck in a queue to get in for roughly half an hour) it wasn't too bad at all imo

    The festival starts at 1pm and you can't bring drink in... and closes at 11 - when most people would want to go to a nightclub/afterparty? There'll be a lot of people chewing face if thats the case.

    Saturday was fine but I just thought Sunday was insane. Saw a few other complaints on here too, people seemed to wire it down to the acts possibly attracting a different crowd on the Sunday but I dunno about that

    Yeah we arrived late enough on the Sunday after overdoing it the first night so maybe the checks were strict earlier in the day...didn't see a proliferation of jaw swingers or eyes like satellites compared to other festivals but when it was non camping I suppose that's to be expected...

    MJC, HS82 and Tensnake all played Life last year.

    are they just trying to make FF a dance festival in the city centre to go head-to-head with Life? :confused:

    Apart from the headliners Life isn't up to much this year. the midlevel acts at FF are a better draw, and the djs would be more interesting to a mainsteam crowd too. Will be a very different crowd from last year though, hope it's not too full of LETS GO ****ING MENTAL meatheads.
