    Id say cause its such a young crowd

    Sunday's crowd shouldn't be too bad I'd say. But I'd wager Friday & Saturday are gonna be exceptionally young, and rough.

    It's a really bad lineup and Friday and Saturday will be carnage.

    The Sunday then suddenly turns MOR with Mumford a divisive act at the best of times and poor old Midland wedged in there among them.

    I love Marley but don't think I'll bother this year.

    Anyone know when the stage times are usually released?? Only 2 weeks to go. Why is everything happening so late this year

    Would Longitude be the remnants of whats was formally Oxegen even though its twinned with the more boutique Latitude festival, it does seem to be around the dates of the old festival and Townlands Carnival on in the same dates too. Actually Townlands is the weekend after.

    I don't think that was the initial intention but this year it certainly looks like it's going for that niche market (ahem) - last year The National and FJ Misty, this year The Weeknd, Skepta, Catfish and the Bottlemen. Keep pets and elderly indoors!!

    I see (supermodel and ex Mrs Jack White) Karen Elson is playing the Sunday. Her album is amazing. I think she's supporting Ryan Adams in September, will go to that instead.

    Know absolutely nothing about the lounge, unfortunately. Aside from what I can read online, that is. I personally wouldn't be bothered paying extra for something like that when its a non-camping festival, but like I said, I'm not too familiar with it anyway.

    When can we expect stage times, or have they already been released?

    Fold up chairs, professional cameras with detachable lenses, excessive amounts of cigarettes and anything that can be perceived as a weapon are among the banned items at the concerts.

    Just saw this and found it curious. Obviously it's weird if someone rocks up with 200 smokes but why are they on a banned list? Do people try sell illegal smokes at concerts?

    Girlfriend is expecting so just thought it might be a bit easier for her if it's worthwhile.

    Clashes on Saturday are gutting, tbh.

    Mick Jenkins and Kaytrandra clash, as do Youngr and Mac Miller. They're four of the main people I wanted to see this weekend.

    Depends what you're drinking. Beer is probably 5.50/6, Bacardi and Red Bull bar is bout 7-9 a drink. Then there's the prosecco bar

    I usually take the Marathon bus from the Quays to Marley park. Think I'll do it again this year. I want to get in for Kaleo at 3.15pm. I presume getting on the 2pm bus from the quays should get me there by then yeah? I remember traffic being bad enough last year. Can anyone remember how long it usual takes give or take traffic? I'm giving myself and 1hr and 15 mins from bus to main stage.

    You would be very lucky to get in for 3:15 with all of the security and the walk from bus to venue

    I wouldn't get that bus on a friday evening if they paid me...I got that from the quays and i remember it went down the port tunnel and down the m50, There was a accident on the m50 and took a good 2 hours to get....Never again! Ill be getting the number 16 down. Should be ok for the Saturday and Sunday but take alternatives friday evening if your going.

    get the Luas to Balally, 30min walk from there with sneaky can along the way(probably less if you're a quick walker). quicker than the bus, and no chance of hitting traffic.
