    Surprised to see The National back in business with MCD again after teh Oxegen episode a few years ago. They had been working with Aiken since then....

    What happened at Oxegen?

    They played to about 50 people on the main stage.

    The Nos Alive and BBK Bilbao (7th-9th) lineups are worth keeping an eye on for acts that might make their way to Longitude or Marlay Park in general. Already Father John and Courtney Barnett overlap and John Grant and Pixies there before their Iveagh Gardens gigs as well.

    Could see The 1975 and maybe M83 (I wish) getting announced on that end. Jack Garrett and Fat White Family to be announced after their gigs are done/sell out.

    Anyone get the VIP section at Longitude before? Can you see the main stage? Is it worth the extra money?

    I assume it grants you access to what was the Coca Cola lounge last year, I have access to it through work but honestly didn't spend much time there. It's a good place to get away from the madness and you can hear the main stage but not see it.

    Not sure if I'd pay actual money for it though but it was nice to have a place to chill out.

    While that is an abysmal crowd, the perspective of the photo is deceiving. That is clearly not the front barrier but the barrier to the pit. You can even see hands in the distance of those who are really up front.

    I was in VIP last year. It only gets you into a little designated VIP area where you can use a bar, one or two food stalls, their own toilets and there are some hammocks/seats about the place. You can't watch the main stage from there.

    I'd say Sunday day tickets will sell out

    Anyone know what date Action Bronson is playing? He's a great performer, I'd encourage anyone who remotely likes rap to have a look at him.

    I'd seriously consider at least a day ticket if him and Kendrick were on the same day.

    Got a ticket for Sunday to see The National. Hope they get a bunch of stage time as nothing else on that lineup interests me.

    How long do the headliners usually play at Longitude? :)

    They usually get about an hour and a half.

    Thinking of going on the Friday only. Would it be right to assume that as well as Kendrick they will lump the other hip hop acts like Bronson on the Friday as well, or is it spread out over the weekend?

    They spread similar acts out over the weekend to try and sell more full weekend tickets

    Longitude has gone very dancey in recent years. Not really my cup of tea any more.

    If the organisers were sound, yes. They will almost certainly be on separate days though because they will want to squeeze rap/hip-hop fans for weekend tickets.

    Cool headliners. Would love to see Kendrick, apparently he's on absolute fire in live shows though not sure if that'd translate as well to a big open air stage. Must admit Major Lazer are a serious guilty pleasure of mine and their live show I'd say would be seriously good craic.

    God damn M83. That's 3 festivals they're playing that weekend so they won't be there. Somebody at Electric Picnic needs to get the finger out and book them.

    Time for some new additions soon maybe? :D

    Looking at Latitude acts, would love to see M83, Grimes, Lapsley, Perfume Genius added. I see Laura Mvula, Polica, and Rat Boy making the jump definitely. Two Door Cinema Club have been oddly quiet in Ireland over the last few summers too. Curious that they haven't been announced for anything yet.

    TECHNICALLY: M83 are confirmed on the 17th at Latitude, They could do Thursday the 14th at Colours, Friday 15th at Melt, Saturday 16th at Longitude... I CAN DREAM

    Longitude lineup looks good already. People moan about Chvrches playing every year but they're one of the best live bands out there.

    I see Frightened Rabbit will be at Latitude, they would be a great addition.

    Hey, does anyone know if you need to purchase tickets for under 16s? Sent a message to ticketmaster and they said they can attend once we have id to prove they are under 16 but they neglected to inform me if they need tickets.

    Why would they not need a ticket to a music event? I'd be shocked if they were allowed in for free lol

    So you think a full price ticket is acceptable for a 10 year old?
