It's not over until its over - I'm still expecting one final announcement.

I am 90% sure Le Boom and Ships are going to be announced from reading some hints from Nialler9 on twitter. No idea if there will be another announcement with more acts than that or whether they will just appear in the stage times.

Yes, they're just about available in Homestore + More. Identical to SportsDirect, except for logo and colour. I got 3 of them today. I use them every year. 450ml. Sweet for a bottle of red. They even clip on! We even have a girl who brings gin in them, in her hand and never gets stopped.
There were about 50 of them in Homestore + More in Blanchardstown last month. Today I walked away and there were about 10 left...so you know the score...when they're....they're really...

On a side note, musically, is anyone else really looking forward to seeing Gargbage? or is it just me showing my age.

Its probably going to be a "Version 2.0" album 20th Anniversary tour, so I would expect a tonne of songs from that album. If there not in the Main Arena, I might wedge myself up to the very front to see them.

Saying that, Blur were in the Main Arena last year and I was at the front for that and it was fine, plenty of room.

Yep. Someone pointed it out to him on twitter that they have not been announced and he replied hint.. Also said when Chic were announced that he is expecting at least one or two more additions.

I think Ships are just in for a podcast/talk though (although they said in the last 20 mins they will play a few tunes), I would expect them to get their own proper gig somewhere.

Maybe I should have said both to be 'officially' announced.

I’ve just spent the last hour or two damaging my ear drums blasting out some Garbage. I’m really looking forward to them, hopefully in the EA.

To all those lone travellers, I salute you. Last year was my first flying solo and I saw twice the music and met double the amount of new people. I had a great time.
Eager to get stage times now, acts I want to see stacking up at a rate of knots.
St. Vincent, Massive Attack, Benjamin Clementine, Cigarettes after Sex, Fontaines DC, Murder Capital, La Femme, David Keenan, Stella Donnelly, Field Music, Hak Baker, Gang of Youths, Yellow Days, Mick Flannery, Colter Wall, Lost Brothers , Whenyoung...
And that's not counting These Charming Men, Harvest, Roadhouse Doors and all the gold you pick up by accident.
Ferociously exciting, the whole thing.

And Sleaford Mods, of course. Of course.

Has anyone ever got in on a Guest ticket?

A friend has won one and was told it was a VIP ticket, ticket says Guest and enter via Abbeyleix gate. Any ideas if that's just a standard camping ticket or does it include VIP access?
