When you say it's going to happen soon, well when exactly do you mean? See I've already waited too long. And all my hope is gone........

I reckon more likely for Metropolis Fest

ghostdancer

yeah, he has a relationship with POD, and he's playing another gig that weekend, i think in Italy? could imagine him as a standalone gig there the night before though too, like they did with someone (Leftfield?) a few years ago.

Agree re. "A-ha" last night at Marquee in Cork - now the sound wasn't great - but brill gig/atmosphere and when you think of e Duran Duran ending last year on a high - the big 80's name could bring crowd together again. I love Lana Del Ray - but that was bad planning having her as the finale the previous year.

We need a bit of an 80s thing at EP - and "A-ha" could do it - but I'm wondering about Niall Rogers and Chic.

And please bring Human League to EP...……….

We need announcements - we're half way through June - tell us something - PLEASE...……….

Hey Roll - only 10 times

But you gotta admit - the music is fun and will put everyone in a good mood.

"Let's Dance" he deserves big time recognition for that alone - so you may have to hear that for the 11th time

We have something!!!! This is not a drill!!! Go! Go! Go!!!!

First announcement in a while and it's for the stage I never visit.

Judes

Ah just saw the Trenchtown listing above - Cian Finn did a brill set at It Takes A Village Festival, back in April in Trabolgan. I can't wait to hear him again, he just made the place feel Happy and Sunny

I'm just hoping this doesn't drag out the rest of the announcements even more..

He was brilliant last year at EP on the Friday night (at least I think it was Friday!).

Gangsters are always worth seeing. Would have been nice to see acts like Radikal Guru or even Mungos HiFi included. But overall looking fwd to Trenchtown again in 2018...

David Byrne announced for 3 Arena on 24th October - another one bites the dust!!

scruff monkey

Think he's touring outside yurp at that point anyway so was never going to be there.

EP has deleted the Trenchtown announcement from their social media? Whats going on? Did they decide they've said too much

MadYaker

Yeah I just noticed that too. Gone from twitter now and I don't think it ever appeared on FB. What the fcuk are they at???

billybonkers

(no disrespect to T-Town faithful, i listen to everything from Billie Holiday to black metal but TT has no appeal for me unfortunately)

Takes up quite a large area;

anytime i've passed through it's dead. Could really be used for something better.

I'm just glad they finally announced SOMETHING! Hopefully more will follow soon!

Do announcements tend to be spread out?

I like it as a prelim for a bit before entering the main site on the Friday, few cans, be grand and all that.. would appeal too much after 3pm though.

Going to EP for 7 years, and I think I only ever made it to trench town once.
