I'd admit defeat, its the hope that gets u, I'm sorry my Friend it won't be today unfortunately....

They really are taking the mickey if we don't get an announcement of some sort today. Body and Soul would at least give the punters something to explore.

Jus think its a bit late on a Friday for it now, they were taking the mickey 2weeks ago now its just ignorant and bad form especially the nó replies about it to people on fb and twitter

I suggest you all buy tickets to knockanstockan to distract you from this debacle, that’s what I’ve done and I’m convinced it’s going to work out perfectly. Surely by the time I’ve sobered up some time on Tuesday EP will have put out a stellar announcement.

Seems strange for them to release last of the tickets without any sort of marketing hype surrounding it. Very half arsed

Didn’t stop the tickets from selling though did it!

They'll always sell, plenty of evidence in here that there's heaps of people go purely for the "sesh"

What we need is professional hackers to close their Facebook Page, Twitter and their website or mess it around, any professional hackers out there or if i was Laois County Council I would withdraw their licence until they usher forth some names.

So now we can be pretty certain - the delay is timed to overshadow ATN.  Just when the coverage about ATN will start to crank up next week, EP will release their hounds.  It won't stop people buying tickets to ATN but it will mean that the average punter won't be focussed on ATN and will be talking about EP instead.

Play the Picnic to be announced at 3.30 :-/

I just think 5 weeks out and still no more names is a shambles. ATN or not, its just a joke..

At least when the announcements of significance do start rolling in they’ll be coming in droves because realistically they won’t have left themselves any time to feed them out with huge time gaps in between so we’ll be spoilt over a short period of time I’m guessing

It looks increasingly like the 2nd and 3rd main act announcements are going to be rolled into one. Absolute joke. Giving punters only a couple of weeks to discover and get interested in over half the acts is criminal. I don't know if it's poor planning or just apathy on the part of FR but either way it's not good!

If the quality of what they finally give us is decent I won’t mind them rolling it into one and telling us that’s what they’ve done. Don’t want a repeat of the current wait in a few weeks time though if and when we get announcement 2, to play the same waiting game for a possible and unconfirmed announcement 3...

SoundOfSilence

The quality should be decent given that they'll be rolled into one. Even based on the last couple of years where personally i thought the 2nd and 3rd announcements were a bit light... getting them altogether, there's bound to be loads of deadly acts in there.,

next week it is then.......

I know we're all complaining now but when the announcement is (eventually) made, this thread will be awash with kickable youths...
I can barely keep up with the thread as is!

I'd have thought that was a given by now. Not enough time left for more than one big announcement.

I just hope the announcement isn't the same week as last year's 3rd announcement., which was the 18th IIRC.

It's more likely with each passing day, but I suspect it'll be Monday or Tuesday next week to get the radio stations and social media hopping and dominating Indiependence and ATN's media coverage.

Yeah doesn't have to be a Friday I suppose. Reckon best way of dominating media coverage is to release 10 acts or so everyday next week along with B&S or OV.
