They were definitely playing with them this summer. Maybe just at the festivals they are both booked for? Either way I'd love to catch them if playing missed it last year

Maybe that was it. I've seen Young Fathers twice this year and there was definitely no sign of Massive Attack at either show, sadly!! :pac:

I may be unable to attend this year and have a 4 man tent in Pink moon.

Do they offer refunds on their site does anyone know? i've contacted them through a form on their site and social media and just waiting on a response.

Not sure about the refund, but you could try sell it on toutless.com?

What's the basis for this?

Young Fathers haven't toured with Massive Attack since 2016 as far as I know. They're playing Electric Fields that weekend so not out of the question but just wondering if I missed something!

And even looking at Massive Attack's set lists, they play 'Voodoo in my Blood' live but usually without live input from Young Fathers (as per setlist.fm at least!)

They've been on stage with Massive Attack at every show they've played this year, they are part of the tour. Hence the reason they will be in Stradbally.

No refunds, but you should be able to sell it on easy enough. You won't be able to re-assign the booking to anyone else through Pink moon, but if you sell it on the buyer just needs the email to get in...I've done it myself....

recommends for a self inflating mattress anyone?

After a fair bit of research I've ordered this one from Amazon. It's wider than most of them and a reasonable price. Mountain warehouse in blanchardstown also have some decent enough looking ones if you don't want to order online.

Another quick question if ye don’t mind. Eco camping I have 2 friends who now can’t go and I have their codes. Can they be used by someone else or does it have to be names attached?

im assuming you can just give the ids to the other people and pretend to be them.... when i was the eco 2 years back they just crossed off the name

I guess we all have our personal preferences just like our real beds at home. But I found the self inflating mattresses hard on my back and brought an air mattress last year. Was so much more comfortable and pleasant to sleep on. IMO

I have a camping bed which I brought the last few years, but it is quite unwieldy, so thinking of changing it up this year..

We bring both an self inflating mattresses (inflated, they are quite thin) and air bed...laying the mattress on the air bed. May be overkill, but its more comfort, and if one gets punctured then you are not totally screwed. Again, that little bit of comfort makes a lot of difference over the weekend

It was the same last year. however, given that we have a new location with lines of baby oak trees, they may want to make sure people camp within the lines.

I was assuming this was the end of that particular part of the tour with Young Fathers and they might switch things up for EP, dropping the Young Fathers tracks and maybe even bring Teardrop back in from the cold. Probably not in this case, if they're over in the UK the same weekend.

The email from the Eco campsite says you need your registration ID that was in the latest email from them, but doesn't mention anything else, so I would think you can pass that registration ID on to someone else.

That pile of pox story of hip hop was rammed last year. All those fools standing there while young fathers killed it in the next tent. Raging they aren’t playing again this considering they playing all over Europe with massive attack and sold out the Academy earlier this year.

On the other other hand.... is that an Elvis tribute... I’d be so happy

Young Fathers smashed it last year in EA , saw them in the Academy also this year, had hoped they might be added again as touring the new album but EP doesnt "usually" have main acts 2 years in a row , and I am not expecting them despite the other persons optimism, but very happy to be proven wrong:)

What can I say...an old man needs his comforts! Having endured Oxegen back in the day within a flimsy tent and an even flimsier sleeping bag, this princess takes no chances!

Sweet. I thought that tour had ended quite a while back. Young Fathers are one of the best live bands on the go at the moment.

I am the same, academy gig was great. I don’t even like rnb if you would even call it that.

Would they be considered a ‘main act’ ??

Karmacoma was awful when they played it in the Olympia, so a bullet dodged there. I doubt they've played Protection much in the last 15 odd years, definitely not since 2010 anyway. I'm not a fan of Live With Me, always felt that was tacked onto the label-required greatest hits. Teardrop is a loss though, probably their most famous song these days. They got serious flack for leaving out Unfinished Sympathy in the Olympia, will be much the same at EP for this. Seems deliberately tone deaf to drop song like that for extended periods of time. Especially when United Snakes (for instance, nothing against it particularly) has been in the set for years now.

Yes, thinking of doing this this year! Insurance policy

Anyone get their campervan ticket yet?

I've been very lazy in the build up to this picnic, have done very little research compared to the last few years, going to go hammer and thongs at it for the next two weeks starting from the top down. NERD are surely the weirdest headliner that we have ever had, very few big songs that people would know and I have never ever met someone who said they are an NERD fan, I don't think I have ever been in the presence of someone who has put on one of their tunes on spotify, youtube or at a house party etc. Looking at some of their setlists they seem like a cover band with the amount they throw in. Kendrick Lamar is growing on me though!

Yeah I know, couldn’t really identify a genre off the top of my head but they wouldn’t be the normal thing I listen to but I have a couple of albums nearly off heart

It's most likely the fact that Pharrell is one of the most successful popstars on the planet, and to a lesser extent the Neptunes were a critically acclaimed production team in the 00s. But as a band, without covering their own work (which is what their set is doing - Pharrell and Chad worked on all of the songs except 7 Nation Army) they really only have one or two hits max.

RnB is such a catch all genre that yes they could be labeled as such.

Like one of the lowest common denominators of music.
