    Was looking at the Moderat Coachella footage and I see their set was about 55 minutes, if they are up against Aphex Twin on another stage it means their set will probably kick off about half an hour to 40 minutes into the Aphex Twin set. If I guess right Moderat's will start at 9.45 pm or something like that. unless Moderat is subbing for Aphex, but that wouldn't make sense and they are also a visual stimulation type show suited to the marquee stage. More likely it could be Nicolas Jaar leading the way to Aphex.

    There was a post on FF's Facebook page:

    "#ThrowbackThursday - Groove Armada closing out the second stage of the Bank Holiday Sunday last year, this year Maceo Plex will be stepping up".

    So would that mean Moderat could be on the main stage before Aphex Twin?

    This was the one I meant to pop in, Aphex Twin dropped this at the Oxegen set in 2008 and he recently added it again to his current set, or the last one he played in Houston in December.

    Would still like some input on the ''under 18'' thing; even though I know the question is ridiculously cliché on here and I cringed at myself asking it a bit, I'd still like some more opinions on it, especially those who have been to previous iterations.

    I saw people being ID'd and turned away at it last year.

    You're chancing you arm basically, you may be grand. Or you may be refused and have wasted the money/effort. Nobody here is going to be able to tell you a definitive answer because its entirely down to the security staff who're there as you're walking on the day.

    Does FF usually sell out or would there be tickets available on the day, the Saturday specifically?

    It sold out on the Sunday last year but from what I remember there were still a few Saturday tickets left.

    Moderat benefit from playing inside a dark tent so I presumed they would do similar at FF. Has anyone seem them play on an outdoor stage?

    I am holding off to see will may more be added. Have they downsized it in recent years? I was at the first one I thought there were way more acts than this

    Any word on the night-time line-up for this (The club nights in town)? Hoping for Maceo Plex somewhere as expecting a clash with Aphex or Jaar at the main festival....

    Also anyone head in to any of the late night stuff last year - was it a case of buy an additional ticket to your gig and then getting in was fairly straightforward?

    One of the first years of FF I went to Caribou AND The Field @ Button Factory. If memory serves (and I wouldn't be trusting my memories of that night too far!) getting in the door was a little messy even though I had an advance ticket...

    Saw them outdoors in Primavera, indoors is definitely better

    Ditto, Plex in the Button Factory after would be delightful.

    I went to Tale of Us in the Button Factory on the Saturday last year. Bought the ticket in advance, 10 or 15 quid I think. Just walked in with no queuing/hassle. You could also pay at the door, 20 quid I think. Wasn't too packed was grand. Left after 3 and they were still going.

    Hopefully on Thursday 1st June Primavera will be streaming some of the sets, some acts no doubt destined for Forbidden Fruit too. I'm hoping seeing Aphex Twin is headlining they might stream his full set, his first gig of 2017. Then he plays Field Day on Saturday and to us on Sunday woo hoo!

    Why is there such a low demand for tickets this year? You can still get tickets for pretty much any day!

    Think it was the same last year, for some reason. I'd say its because a big portion of the crowd go to Life festival which is the week before, and then Longitude in July.

    Probably improves the overall crowd/atmosphere at FF, tbh.

    Get two bottles of water. Cut the top off one just below the seal. Place the cut off bit into boiling water and you can jam a knife in under the bottle cover/seal, squish the plastic inside of that a little, and you slide the cover off totally in tact.

    Then you can just empty your other bottle of water, fill it with vodka, and pop the lid back on complete with a seal. Literally nobody can tell the difference.

    but security might say 'no liquids' and you're stumped.

    I expect MCDE will be announced as the special guest @ Wigwam on the Sunday night.

    Is there any chance that Aphex Twin would do a club gig???! I guess not...

    Crap, you're right. Says it on their website.

    http://www.forbiddenfruit.ie/info/donts/

    You'd think they'd allow the standard, one sealed bottle of water.
