jaysus, i just use bukeface for picnic and the gym so pretty much never log into the thing, the level of utter whinging / anger there is surreal, a lot of folks with serious issues venting (their grammar and spelling are pretty ****ing dire to boot).

u ok hun?

There is some amount of giving out about the line-up on Facebook and I've encountered some people in real life too who were saying how sh1te the line-up is.

I think it's down to personal opinion isn't it?

I think the lineup is ****e as it stands. You obviously think it's good.

and even though we disagree, we can still live happy lives and look forward to a nice weekend in September!

Judging by the main acts alone it's not great but as a whole there are some gems.

I agree it'll be a nice weekend regardless, it always is!

I agree with this.. top line acts are a bit underwhelming, but the rest is great.

Didn't know Phantogram at all before but really looking forward to seeing them now.

Probably happiest I've been in a few years about the first wave of acts, hopefully few more solid names on Friday.

So these Quechua Fresh and Black tents seem to work quite well. I'm at Glastonbury now and it's about 32 degrees. I'm sheltering in my tent while everyone else's tents are unbearable furnaces.

There is zero jealousy back here in Ireland .. ZERO !!!

... and its 38 degrees here and the whole country has been given the day off work with double pay.

So you can keep your Glastonbury stories to yourself because it's much better here.

That's a compliment. Spin doctors are wonderful people.

And in case anyone missed it, you can only register yourself this year - not two people as before!

Right, total not a ****ing chance time, was looking at FFs website after seeing a post elsewhere on their new album out in September.

They're playing 1 gig in Europe in September in Berlin at a festival which is also run by FR. There's a small gap then in their schedule which a certain shindig in Laois would fit into...



Totally not a chance but a monkey can dribble...

and now a quick search of the thread has pointed out to me that others have suggested this... nevermind...

im off to Lollapalooza as well so hoping for no more cross overs :D only kidding seeing them twice in 2 weeks would be :cool:

New Valley Wolves have self-confirmed.

Prodigy playing Zurich Open air weekend before EP. Looks to be last date booked for the summer. Unless they are playing Stradbally. They'd be ideal for the last Main stage spot on the Saturday
