Longitude 2016 - 15 – 17 JULY 2016

Dundalkian

Me and 6 friends are going to longitude on friday night. We're staying in a hostel in the city centre and are looking at getting the Marathon shuttle bus back to marlay and then back into the city. What are the chances of being able to hop on one without booking? Just preparing for worst case scenario i shall be printing off the route to walk back to the city, but thats gonna take at least 2 and a half hours and im not sure if i trust myself with a few drinks...

Managed to grab a Friday ticket today in the end as they went back on sale for a while. All this talk of transport is kind of scaring me, I remember it was bad last year but didn't think it was that bad. If I leave 15 mins before the end of Kendrick should I have any trouble catching a taxi?

I'd say the set times will be out tomorrow or Wednesday. They came out on the Wednesday before it last year anyway.

Thats quite the walk carrying a cargo of harp. Better off booking the shuttle in advance to avoid unnecessary hassle or take the luas option either.

Does Jamie XX ever have Romy or Oliver at his live shows? Or is it just himself?

Just himself. Usually has a pretty cool light show too.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand tickets are (almost) gone.

Sunday day tickets still available, everything else sold out according to Longitude on Twitter!

Maybe a slightly strange question, how strict would Workman's/Whelans/Flannerys and their ilk be on letting people in wearing shorts? Probably be getting a bus straight in after the gig and don't want to be lugging a pair of trousers around with me all day to get changed into

They released a good few extra Saturday tickets on the sly today, I knew a few who managed to pick them up, but they seem to be sold out again.

Hope the weather is on our side!

My mate was in the Workman's on Saturday night after the Stone Roses. He was wearing shorts and it was no problem.

downloaded for the times, but there's no times on it yet, and a whole load of other worthless ****e :mad:

johnpatrick81

think i'll just take note of the times for the Sunday so, thanks for the heads up ghostdancer!

ghostdancer

if they put up a photo of the times on the website/FB, I'll be deleting the app straight away!

cruhoortwunk

Whats on it lots of sponsored shít from coke and Heineken?

johnpatrick81

Pretty much clash free Sunday for me, wooo!

Mrs Shuttleworth

Some horrible clashes for me on Sunday! First world problems and all that

BullBlackNova

Disappointed about the Kurt Vile/Jamie xx clash on Sunday, but otherwise that's pretty good for me.

BadTurtle

Not too many clashes, but disappointed RTJ, Annie Mac and particularly Jamie xx aren't in a tent.

Sheeeeit

Of course Nina Kraviz and Kendrick would clash on the Friday :mad:

You still get half an hour of Kendrick at the start, take advantage of that, its not like a Glastonbury walk to the next stage.

ghostdancer

personally i'd prefer to just miss Kraviz, haven't seen Kendrick since Vicar Street a few years ago. she'll probably be back within the next year.

don't know why they haven't booked her (or other DJs) for some official after-parties. even another promoter could have swooped in and booked her for later in the night, assuming no contract clauses prohibiting it.....

Is there no official after parties?

ghostdancer

don't think so, haven't seen anything like Forbidden Fruit does with acts playing in city centre venues later anyway.

Sheeeeit

Jamie XX is playing in the Hangar Sunday night I think.
