I'm here now! There sounding good, thin crowd alright though

Bell X1 just kicked off. Let's see how they do. Sounding good so far.

Lindsey Stirling was fantastic. Although could have done without trite pep talk.

Catfish and the Bottlemen were excellent. Crowd thin on the ground though. Would have thought more would be there.

Walking on Cars. They are good at what they do. I'm very meh about them. My 10 year old daughter who was on my shoulders loved them though.

Fan****ingtastic he was

Piss, beer then lcd

Le Galaxie on TV now, would they not attract a bigger crowd or are they just sticking to the hipster crowd

Speaking as a non-attender (first time in 7 years...!), RTE coverage - pretty decent! Good cuts of Noel Gallagher, Academic, le galaxie, Nas, not a huge amount of bollocks out of Eoghan McHaircut. Enjoyable interview with Gavin James.

Pleasantly surprised!

Definitely a hell of a lot better than last years coverage. 100% more music shown for a start.

The prick with the rainbow flag needs to **** off now. Blocking view of stage

It's them playing on the Other Voices stage -more intimate area, while clashing with Noel Gallagher and the Shins.

Not there this year, watching on t.v. Love the music of Bell X1 but think they were way too far up the bill for a Sat night ??? Wouldn't be into it myself if I was there. Defo the Sat should have been New Order then LCD for sure ?

MattD

Bell x1 definitely sounded a bit flat and thin on RTE. Would really hope it was working out better with a live crowd... compared to Broken Social Scene, Glass Animals or Nas getting such earlier timeslots, you'd hope Bell X1 were blowing them away...

Jenny robbed the dance tunes from pete tong who did it in the bbc ibiza proms who robbed it from other crowd


Rte coverage is not too bad but it is really poor they way you can't hear the crowd....sound sounds thinny.

scruff monkey

LCD really showing why they are headliners

Update : that was ****ing awesome

Queen-Mise

Tractor pulling cars out of yellow carpark. Oh the joys.

In other news:

My darling son brought me to see Years and Years. I was pleasantly surprised. Happy pop, and not the slightest bit offensive or annoying. And they also avoid the interesting as dirty dish water that Coldplay are guilty of.

The Strypes brought it again. Seriously progressing as a band.

Noel Gallagher were fantastic. Had to leave early, rain bucketting down. And dopey here forgot to bring her rain jacket.

Queen-Mise

Oh and I really liked Bell X1 tribute to David Bowie.

I enjoyed Bell X1. Again happy music.

Strypes also covered Talking Heads' Psycho Killer.

Poor performance?

Reggie noble

Toby karr was great

That's my fourth time seeing LCD and they just keep getting better and better. His mention of new material was the cherry on top.

Dying here in the tent

Noel Gallagher was brilliant he was sublime

Lcd was great

Caught 15 mins of years and years very Good actually

Academic were great

Bell x1 are not a main stage act never have been never will be just boring apart from the bowie tribute

Gavin James was also very flat for main stage but kids loved him so what can ya do

Raging I missed Lemaitre

Hiking boots. There's a couple of tricky spots on the way in but the grass held out for the most part and is not gonna cut up very badly at this stage.

Have a great day!

Edit: you could even chance runners based on what I seen yesterday. Although the final shower last night might just have pushed it over the edge slightly.

How were New Order?
