I'm guessing Nobody's Heros is obviously something to do with SLF?

Missed that, where and what?
Please and thanks.

Cant find anything on the site by that name, someone is toying with me, they might have to be included in the kicking teenagers hour.

Woodies or if near ballymount go in to castormart. Behind the red cow

Clark ... excellent, really loved him in B&S couple of years back. Banging! ... .. other than that, All Tvvins is good news.


And I suppose Kila will be pretty decent in the sun on the main stage in the afternoon (this could be the boards meet uo, in front of the sound desk

Dreadful announcement today. ...skatalites were the only bit of comfort. ....curious about touts also

GidCudi

Mr. Jukes sounds like decent late afternoon listening. Le Galaxie always bring a good time. Was hoping to catch Le Boom and Talos so having an extra chance to do just that is good with me.

Lots of filler...exactly what is expected in the final announcement so never had my hopes up.

Nobodys Heroes nothing to do with SLF sadly. They played Longitude . Funk inspired band.

Back to teenage kicking

Synergism

Very meh. Wasn't expecting any big names but was hoping for something to add a bit more excitement. You'd see 90% of those acts at most Irish festivals this summer.

Sitting here smiling and laughing looking at Touts covering Gloria at the Nerve Centre Derry.

Gonna be some set in a tent at the picnic!

At least the facebook comments will be entertaining

facebook response is surprisingly subdued ... maybe they are all nursing their Leaving Cert hangovers still.

Top comment so far:


"Two weekend camping tickets for sale pm me"

Blackie_IRL

There's enough on that announcement to keep me happy.

Being of a certain age I was a teenager during the height of the Seattle/Nirvana scene so I have a lot of appreciation for what Fangclub offer, their debut album is really good.

I'm also a big Bombay Bicycle Club fan and the Mr Jukes album has been on rotation last few weeks, a real grower, lots to like on it. Defo worth checking out.

Tale of Us will rock the LBT no doubt, anyone who appreciates progressive house music will enjoy what they have to offer.

sent the video on to my son, he's playing a punk festival this weekend, i think The Touts are about to get a lot of new fans.

Ferris_Bueller

Pretty much what was to be expected from the final announcement. Talos, Le Galaxie, King Kong Company, Le Boom, Tiga, Tale of Us all worth checking out for me. Will have to look into some of the acts recommended from here. At least we can start making our lists now!

I presume the red bull area won't exist this year?

I've put in a few on days and stages that i know (or hope )they're playing on, times are just a wild guess.
to do it, login on the desktop version and go to -I want to- and pick edit data.
