Sports Direct have a decent sale on all their camping gear at the moment if anyone’s in the market for new gear

I actually think that the orchestra on their own without Jenny Greene would be amazing.

Imagine strolling in there for 45 minutes of quality classical classics

The RTE orchestra did an EP gig about 8 years ago I think on the Earth stage in B&S - did all the movies classics star wars, superman, ET etc and finished off with riverdance. Still one of my all time EP highlights - still brings a tear to my eye how good it was!

Not really EP related ... but have been listening to new stuff all week (thanks to Spotify lists on this thread) came across a crowd called Okzharp & Manthe Ribane, would be a great B&S or late night tent addition. On the EP front I see changes to the App, artists added to the Discover section.

I genuinely believe there will be a 3rd small announcement. The Dublin Gospel Choir are nowhere on line-up and that's a tradition, as mentioned earlier Le Galaxie possibly, Le Boom, Jenny Greene or some variant of either RTE or Trinity Orchestra. Fully expect another heritage act or 2 to be announced also. Someone like Happy Mondays for example. Wasn't there also an electronic act who self confirmed a couple of months ago but still not on official line-up?

Edit. EJECA is listed on his website as playing on Saturday 1st.

Le Galaxie more or less said on their instagram that they're playing, someone asked and they replied we're 'not'

If Dublin are playing they'd have to have a big area set up for the All Ireland final,
usually its the Hurling or Football Semis on this weekend.

They stopped showing it on the EI stage because the pubs were giving out

Really surprised Le Boom aren't on the bill - they had a full house closing B&S on the Saturday night last year and would have expected to see them bumped up the bill this year. Tickets are on sale today for a Dublin show in November so wouldn't be surprised to see them added over the next couple of weeks.

And equally surprised at no return for Touts.

That is a real disappointment. They were my highlight last year.
Actually, they would be a perfect size act for headlining Jerry Fish

They won't. There'll be a few small screens showing it, or off to Stradbally if you want to see it.

Mine too. Touts followed up with Otherkin in a tent with lead singer standing on my head was a fine start to Saturday festivities.. Was totalling buzzing after that.

Justback from a few days camping. Was at Castlepalooza at the weekend. Fontaines D.C. the highlight for me with PINS and a dj called Deborah. Poor attendance. Will have to move their weekend to survive.

Salty Dog lineup has beefed up the number of acts I want to see. But we want TOUTS too !!

That would be unreal. They were electric in front of a fairly sparsely populated tent at lunchtime last year. They'd blow the roof off a packed Jerry Fish at night.

That's disappointing. I couldn't do anything last weekend as was moving house, but CP was one of my favourite festivals the last couple of years. Most of the gang went to ATN this year, my mate's band was playing CP and he couldn't even get rid of the free weekend passes he had.
