Wouldn't mind Everything Everything playing

Fat Freddy's Drop, how about them - was the last time they played Sea Sessions? Give them a 4 hour slot on the Body and Soul stage or something.

Re getting 3 people in a 2 man tipi.
Pink Moon has been answered but some of the Boutique camping companies do sell extra wristbands. Probably pricier than Pink Moon but might be worth looking at.

I suspect Slow Readers Club will be added to the bill after their Workmans show next month.

Madness have added another tour date for August in Wales. Looks like they are only touring till the end of August , fingers crossed they add EP to the tour , they usually play Ireland on their tours

I checked with Ticketmaster & they said it might be another month or two before they are posted.

Isn't it amazing that you purchase a product in March and they can't supply it until May/June :rolleyes:

It's not really a product though. The event isn't til August, why do you need it now?

It's a method to try and cut down on touting, however little impact it may have.

It is a product, its a physical ticket.

I bought mine right after last year's festival and received the physical ticket not long after. And it's a ****ing pox to be honest, I'd much rather they had held onto it until a couple of weeks before the event, because I've nearly lost mine several times since I got it, and I'll have to move house in June and that's a disaster waiting to happen.

Somebody was saying here last year that they're sent out in batches of a certain size, e.g. 5000 or whatever. So they're not doing it purposely to annoy you and you'll get yours soon enough.

Now stop your bickering.

You need to stitch it into your underpants and wear the same ones until the end of Aug.

scruff monkey

ffs if you're worried about losing your tickets, do the sensible thing.

give them to your mammy to hold on to.

MJohnston

There's a good 'yer ma' joke waiting to be made here, but I'll restrain myself

scruff monkey

Either that or give them to me, I'll hang on to them and store them in Scruffys Super Ticket Storage Service, No Fees!

you can find the link here

If this happens, I will be selling my early birds on toutless.

Judging by the flavour of the first acts announced, I am happy to surmise that the chances are very very slim...

Absolutely not

I wonder if Antony Hegarty might be touring ANOHNI? The tracks I've heard from their album are bloody fantastic.

Ha not a hope.

Calvin is a nuclear option , he's a knack magnet, knacks killed oxegen and don't mix well with camping festivals. It would be a massive turn off for a lot of loyal festival goers for this year and next. There is barely a commercial justification for it , its on the way to selling out and he costs a lot of money. EP are not gonna put their reputation as risk.

Well said.

You may have heard this doing the rounds in the last day or two.

If not, excellent cover version of Blue Monday by Orkestra Obselete with instruments form the 1930s.

Don't think of it as a cocktail bar/funfair, think of it as a childrens paddock

It keeps the riff-raff ocupado :pac:

Most of the run of the mill Sam Smith type headliners on the main stage do. I'm usually off in a tent somewhere
