    Not sure what to make of this. Like the idea of spice bags but the rest not so much!

    Will entertain the riff raff at least...

    These sponsored tents always pick the most incongruous music possible. There was a Vodafone tent at Body and Soul this year pumping out ****e 00s pop. Read the crowd lads!

    Im sure ill wander in for a cocktail and a quick nosey but at 35 I'll most likely be the oldest there :)

    Such a shame they didn't do something along those lines but with decent djs. Could have been a cool idea for a new area. :(

    The forced hype in that article really annoyed me for some reason.

    For the final announcement I'm hoping for some Otherkin KKC Fangclub & Hare Squead to get added.
    Sultans of Ping FC and  Something Happens in Jerry Fish tent ( Dave Couse to reform A House for me would be great too........) 
    Not impossible but maybe..... James and Ride

    Ah that justeat place will be tacky as, but I'll probably still take a wander in to see what the craic is. I'm musically illiterate these days and still mostly listen to bands from the nineties and before so I only know a handful of the acts. I'm looking forward to seeing new bands but will enjoy some of the familiar too.

    I've been at a full moon party - something tells me it'll be a little different in a field in Stradbally :pac:

    But had they stuck some decent music in there coulda been a bit of craic alright.

    Ya never know, the colours will probably attract me over at some stage:eek:

    Kasabian booked the weekend before and after. It's a long-shot but would be a great addition.

    They have confirmed there will be 'no more headliners'

    I doubt Kasabian would sit behind one of the three that are there......

    True enough. Definitely unlikely. Liam Gallagher also free EP weekend.

    Noel was good last year to be honest, bar the lashing rain. Oasis were a great band but I find yer man hard to stomach.

    Then again I was convinced (and really hoped) Jamiroquai would be playing this year and anyone I've said that to returns with 'Oh I hate that guy'

    How do you all know what Vogue is going to play?

    I'm banking on it being the Funeral Doom tent I've been longing for.

    For me DJ Vogue just reminds me of Amanda Brunker playing Oxegen a few years ago.

    I was actually kinda interested in the Full Moon thing until her name popped up

    For the main stage anyway, theres still the EA, Rankins Woods, LBT, Cosby and what other marquees and stages headliners to be announced too.

    Based on what I know about Vogue*, I'm putting my money on an all-Slayer set.














    *Note: I may not actually know as much about Vogue as I have let on...

    The B & S headliners are still to be announced. I'd be really surprised if we havent got our headliners from EA, Cosby and LBT, certainly last years headliners from these were all in the early announcements. EA headliners are likely to be Interpol level.
