Body & Soul 2016 **No ticket sales / requests**

BadTurtle

Very unlikely.

Sandwell

Not a chance. They'd be totally out of place on a Body & Soul lineup in 2016.

SteelyDanJalapeno

And far too expensive to justify for BnS

BadTurtle

I don't think they'd be hugely out of place, they just wouldn't be booked so close to a stand alone date like that, it would split the sales in half.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were booked, they do so many shows here their asking price can't be that crazy. But on the other hand its actually a bit too obvious for Body & Souls liking, i kinda like to think while they would have been perfect a few years ago but since they ve been around so much B&S would vere away from it.

i'd say B&S isn't far off being sold out, so although i'm not sure about Cork, if it was a Dublin gig it'd sell out even if they were at B&S.

i don't think they'll play but i wouldn't be hugely surprised, there isn't going to be a huge crossover of people who would buy tickets for both so the ticket sales wouldn't really be affected.

Please no Chic,

What's the capacity of body and soul and life festival this year?

Useful.Idiot

Apparently it was 10,000 last year so assuming they're doing another bump this year (maybe they won't?) it would be a capacity somewhere in 11,000 - 12,000.

I reckon I'll be skipping Friday night this year. The queues on the way in were insane.

Skipping a whole day because of the queues? Aye they were horrendous. It was badly organised though with such a singular small entrance for the thousands filtering in. I'd like to think because it was one of the main complaints about last year that they might rectify the issue somehow.

I don't know how they would fix it, there is only one road into the site. I recall leaving dublin at around 4pm and I didn't have my tent up till after 9pm. Also I think I'm only capable of doing two nights/days at a festival as I'm getting older :pac:

The real problem was that they didn't open the site until 3pm, building up a huge crowd outside that took hours to bottleneck though the main gate.

They opened it earlier in past years and they didn't have this problem, hopefully they'll see sense and change it back.

Yeah they can't do much about the road I suppose but I think what I meant to refer to was the foot queues and the security checks on the way in. They took almost twice as long as some other festival queues. They could increase the amount of queue lanes, security checkers and wristband people to get the queue moving at a way faster pace maybe?

Aye I know what you mean. I'm still quite young but can't hack three day fests as much as I used to! Turned in relatively early on Sunday night (Monday morning :P) last year!

Oh really? Didn't know that. That's crazy!

The line up has just got way better. http://nialler9.com/bodysoul-add-gloaming/

Arne_Saknussem

The Gloaming, Hudson Mohawke, Neon Indian, David August & Gold Panda just announced.

HausOfTony

Not too familiar with that many of the new acts announced, but I love discovering new acts in the lead up so who would be some top suggestions?

SteelyDanJalapeno

The Gloaming!

Although I have not personally seen him live, David August has a great live reputation.

Any idea how soon this will sell out?

Wouldn't be surprised if it sold out in the next couple of weeks. As far as I can tell each tier of tickets is selling a lot faster than last year and they're on the last tier of them now.

Gold Panda is very easy to listen to electronic music, reminds me of a more mellow Flume.
Hudson Mohawke is much more uptempo, does a great DJ set. Has produced for Kanye West amongst others. Quite hip hop and trap indebted electronic music.

Cheers, both sound like what I'd like. Going to check them out tonight

Anyone know if this is sold out? I went to buy a ticket there online and ticket master said it couldn't find any.

go to tickets on the Body & Soul website it'll send you straight to the link

Is it possible to get a one day ticket to Body and Soul or have they been sold out?

Just saw that Neon Indian is part of the lineup and I would be willing to pay a lot of money just to see them. I can't go for the full 3 days but was hoping I could get a ticket for the day they are on.

Any suggestions?

bodhrandude

I don't think there is any single tickets for this, maybe the Sunday like EP.

Ferris_Bueller

Sunday tickets usually go on sale closer to the event I think.

Cheers. I actually bit the bullet and bought a full 3 day ticket when I'll probably only be able to go for the one day. If more options become available, I'm sure I'll be able to sort something out.
