Barring Adam Beyer, that is pathetic.

Well, you know, people showing a bit of a lack of imagination on here. This is the year you'll just havery to work a bit harder to find the pearls. I've already found a pile of stuff I didn't know and am dying to see. Some interesting stuff in the last announcement there too. And just because they're Irish doesn t mean they're ****e. Talos, Elephant, and yes, Bell, why not?

Off to cry myself a Moon Shaped Pool…

In all seriousness though, I'm sure we'll all have a good time but we will have to consider things for next year.

AdMMM

Honestly thought the likes of M83 and Miike Snow who have been absent from all Irish festivals this year would have been a lock here!

That being said, had I just taken a quick glance over the 2015 and 2014 announcements then I would have known not to get too excited.

While the announcement is a let down, I have no doubt that I'll have a fantastic time and there's already a few hidden gems that I've found.

Kurt Cobain and Jimi Hendrix collaborating with Jim Morrisson couldn't save this

tbh The Lightning Seeds are a bit of a guilty pleasure. Wonder if they're any cop live these days?

BurtMacklin

M83 would have been a nice addition.

Happy with Skepta being added.

To be fair I could go and see a load of these acts throughout the year handily enough. The line up isnt completely terrible but it is a bit underwhelming.

Setting Son & Let Forever Be - two big collaborations with Noel Gallagher. Though they'd have to come on stage with him on Sat as he's playing in Wales on the Friday. And that sounds tricky with their set-up.

Plug in sequencer and press play?

Visuals? Design?

Couple of sparklers and the idiots in the crowd with laser pointers. Job done.

If it's a 2fm "Dj" announcing something exciting, it's usually a bunch of 2fm "Dj"s on the jolly to an event and we should all be jolly excited for them as they're better than us and prettier than us and have more interesting lives than us.

Totes, Mmmm'kay?

rocks1981

jenny and the concert orchestra? what the F....

Pickpocket

Adam Beyer is the only one I'm interested in.

Although I'll be so wrote off after seeing him that I would have missed Radiohead, PJ Harvey and David Bowie if they were playing.

So I guess it's a win.

Blackie_IRL

Is this their attempt at a Pete Tong / Heritage Orchestra house classics???

It's a great idea. I mentioned something like this a few pages back.

Thundercats Ho

I thought this was a joke tbh.

Ya know, it might actually be ok.
i won't be going to it, but it sounds interesting, with the orchestra doing classic dance tunes n all

Thundercats Ho

Lot of filler, and bands that had already been booked for other areas.

Brian Deady is good and new jackson too.

I'm off to do my homework now on the ones i don't know.
