    So just bought tickets for Indie 18 and went looking for a boards thread about but couldn't find one, so I'm making one! Line up looks decent so far and more acts due to be announced today.

    This will be my first Indiependance festival but definitely not my first festival in general, any tips folks?

    I went twice (in 2012/2013?? and last year). Overall enjoyed the festival, its nice and small so you can easily get around the site/stages quick enough. Line up usually has a strong emphasis on Irish acts (which is always great to see) but they still pull in some decent headliners eg Manics , Editors , Whie Lies , Jake Bugg etc. Did feel there was a young enough crowd last year but tbf i didnt see any trouble (excluding hear **** The Mayweathers every couple of seconds)

    Would I be right in saying Primal Scream are headlining Fri, and Walking on Cars on the Sunday looking at the poster layout?

    I wouldn't be so sure just going by the poster, stage times normally set a few days before the event itself

    I'd love to see the Primals again but I believe this Festival attracts a very young crowd. Mate who went to see the Manics said most of the kids there hadnt a notion who the Manics were.

    The younger folk go to festivals a lot too these days. Though it seems more important to get a nice Snapchat story or the perfect Instagram post than to actually enjoy it!

    Your information is 100% true. Been to this a few times, teenagers mainly and the odd scumbag too.

    Will it be possible to just buy a ticket for the Friday?
    Or is it like EP where the day ticket option is for the Sunday only.
    Tickets on sale tomorrow.

    By the way Aldi is currently closed for renovations. They were meant to be reopened the 28th but they've tore that sign down!
    So, they may not be reopened for the weekend!

    Was thinking the same, or maybe it might have it's own dedicated thread on one of those people's republic of cork forums?

    I got an awful shock when I went last year after taking a few years off. Its the 17-22 crowd now. Then it jumps to the mid thirties age but definitely outnumbered by young-uns.
