I'd be hoping for Arctic Monkeys personally.

Sold out their two gigs in the Point & the times align.

Edit: no doubt some ubiquitous homegrown fare.

yes please, been watching their TRSMT set on YT...
talk about having the crowd in the palm of their hands,
I sometimes forget what a great band they are and the
quality of the songs over the years,

Slightly underwhelmed by them live having caught them twice doing the rounds for 'AM' but seems to have moved past his Elvis impersonation stage & all the better for it. Excellent with the Last Shadow Puppets.

I doubt it, but I hope I'm wrong.

It’s probably just Eoghan himself doing something at it , like presenting the rte coverage again or some scutter DJ slot

Didn’t your man on today FM pull the same stunt two years ago

I hope you're right, about AM, not ubiquitous homegrown talent, but the Arctic Monkeys are expensive. I'd think the budget is gone on Kendrick and N.E.R.D

Doesn't he present it for RTE? He's not a DJ, can't see what he'd be doing there.

At kraftwerk last night. Unreal

In relation to eoghan McDermott...that fills me with fear

Niall Horan

Eoghan McDermott presents classic slow set tracks of the 80s with the Tullamore CBS transition year brass band.

If Eoghan McDermott said it, must be an Irish act - 99% sure its Hozier (meh)

I wouldn’t call Phil Cawley a DJ either and he pulled the same stunt before

If it’s coming from Eoghan either way it’s going to be dung

I’ve an awful fear it’ll be Picture this or Aslan.

Neither are "headline level". Hozier (I predicted weeks ago) isn't either, but he'd be a bigger worldwide name than either of the two you mentioned.
Whoever said Niall Horan owes me new underpants.

seen them a few times over the last few years, and as good as they are, they're 100% not a late-night main stage act at EP IMO. the live show is very slow and serious.
plus their Marquee gig yesterday was with Aiken, so very unlikely they're booked by FR...

Electric arena job. Show last night was unreal.

oi! leave my lana alone! (well someone has to love her!)
fond memories of getting lashed on and singing along
with crying girls that were young enough to be my kids!

whatever you think of her, shes a global superstar
Hozier had his moment but they are not in the same category,

Bought the early entry tickets, only a tenner extra for the podpads is a steal,
