Its brilliant. Sat out in the sun in the garden today with a beer and a smoke and listened to it from start to finish. It's a great journey!

Yeah it's really very good stuff. There's so much going on in every track, each time I listen to it I notice something new. I always think that's a sign of a great artist. Really looking forward to his set now.

AV AV AV and Baikal are on the must see list

A little over a month out,

Who are people looking forward to the most, i'm pretty happy myself with the addition of Tommy Tiernan,

Would love to see Tank and the Bangas, Shookrah, Solué, Arca, Hopkins, AVAVAV, Mano Le Tough and Ojof Dreijer

Anyone else worth checking out ?

run_Forrest_run

Delighted to see Tommy Tiernan added (he's also doing All Together Now).

Hopkins is my #1 to see and then after that it's the likes of Mano le Tough, James Holden, AV AV AV etc. To be honest I don't recognise a lot of the acts but that's the fun part, discovering new music with friends at a festival I've never been to before, can't wait.

To anyone working the weekend at Body & Soul, looking for a lift on Thursday 21st June in the afternoon if possible from Galway City to Body & Soul, will chip in for fuel costs and snacks. Thanks if you can help.

Is anyone a little disappointed with the selection of DJs this year? Feel like it was a lot stronger last year.

I mean a little, just from previous years having the likes of FJAAK who are personal favorites of mine

There is a wealth of decent acts in the absolute bar, which isn't listed on the lineup, including, Ashley Beedle, Mix&Fairbanks, Fish Go Deep, Get Down Edits, Queen and Disco, HiFi Sean and Glen Brady doing a Live Hardware Set

Some good stuff in the main lineup The Drifter, AVAVAV, Bakial, Mano Le Tough, Pantha Du Prince, Olof Dreijer, Hopkins, R.Kitt

James Holden has some great stuff, but I haven't really listened to much of his "Animal Spirits" stuff so couldn't comment on that

Some decent stuff out of Bantum, 11:11 and the Sunday Times DJ's (Who closed the forest stage at Electric Picnic around 2 years ago, I remember it being very good) are all playing Wonderlust Stage and are worth a shout

TL;DR - Plenty in there to keep you entertained, mostly disco/house over techno etc

Life festival the month before will give all the techno junkies what they need.

Only three weeks now and the excitement is beginning to build

Fever Ray, WhoMadeWho, Jon Hopkins, Tsehgue are my top acts at the moment.

But really look forward to Chronixx, Shamir, O Emperor and Le Boom also.

Cant really get into James Holden...

Then there's the food, the hot tubs, Blindboy podcast, Tommy Tiernan... Think its going to.be a swell weekend all round!

MiniFridgeMen

run_Forrest_run

a few questions for those who have been before:

What brands do they serve at the bars?
What was the typical price for a pint last year?
What's the walk time to get from, say the main stage to other stages?

Any other tips you'd offer to a B&S noob?

EDIT: Just realised post #7 already has me asking for advice and I got some good answers, cheers.

I was really hoping Kojaque would of been added to the list of Irish acts playing over the weekend or even be added to the 2fm thing. Is there any more small announcements or is that it for this year?

bodhrandude

Just looking at the current Jon Hopkins setlists, he plays a good chunk of the new album and he is playing Collider again after Open Eye Signal, love these tracks. Looking forward to this.

Not sure, I think it depends when you started paying, my installments were done at the start of March, check your emails, should be in there somewhere

There are some filthy clashes in there

Whipping Boy

Few annoying clashes for me:


Friday: Fontaines/AV AV AV on & Fever Ray/Son Lux


Sat: Jon Hopkins/Paddy Hanna (Only one winner there...)


Sun: Chronixx/James Holden & Shame/Susanne Sundfor


Pretty excited all in all though. There's a lot of talks away from the music that have piqued my interest too. Saying my prayers for weather like this...

So easily avoided too...there's quite a few gaps where I'm not sure who to go see. Time to explore I suppose
