I like their new song; aside from that going into the back catalouge i'm not convinced ...yet

but if their new album has similar songs to the single then i'll go see them at AllTogetherNow

He's pretty good live. He's a new band since I've last seen him but he'd good at picking musicians that work well with him.

Yeah I get you. But just means that the bands prob will be on the same level or lesser than the villagers as he’s curating the day and headlining it.

Just not an exciting prospect. Like when they got Bon iver to curate forbidden fruit that was exciting. This not so much.

I foresee Mac deMarco being announced for the Sunday.

it was almost completely dance/electronic on the Sunday last year, so I'd assume it'll be the same this year.

Villagers day will probably only have 2 stages open (main stage and some Irish DJs in the bar/food area, same as Leftfield), and will basically just be a glorified gig.
If MdM is playing, I'd imagine it'll be on Saturday as support for Villagers.

Mac has an unspecified location for the 28th. Has announced the rest of his tour bar this date. the reason for this could be that Metropolis haven't annouced him yet.

'*almost completley'

Doesn't mean all is electronic/dance. And to look at the history of the Festival lineup styles can change.

oh yeah, i forgot he was playing here that day. you're right, it probably is Metropolis in that case.
if there was more of a mix of styles than last year it would be great, the only "guitar-y" act of note last year was Jungle.

Think i'll be giving Metropolis a miss this year. Was looking at BIME in bilbao and Pitchfork Paris and thought maybe something good will come out of it as schedules are around same time.

But no.. Villagers and Mac DeMarco

Underworld playing the Warehouse Project in Manchester on the Saturday of Metropolis.
they're also headlining All Together Now, and POD love to recycle acts, so can see them announced for the Sunday, once ATN is over.

Ricosruffneck · 19-08-2018 11:34pm

when is the announcement for this? Only giving themselves 2 months to shift tickets ain't the best idea imo.

Probably after Electric Picnic I'd say.

They said on Facebook they are announcing line up details this week.

Nice, it’d have to be something great. Wallet gonna feel the pinch of Electoc picnic and loyalty tickets in September

What's the verdict? Roisin Murphy, The Black Madonna & Villagers recycled from All Together Now. If Mac Demarco & Blood Orange are on the same day I would consider a day ticket.

D.Q · 23-08-2018 11:06am

Very underwhelming compared to last year. There were some great DJs there last year, looking to be moving away from that which is a shame.

I have been gurning about Blood Orange never playing dublin for a while, this is great.

Bollix, if they are on the Sunday I can't go. Would love to see them and Mac de Marco.

Easy Rod · 23-08-2018 1:03pm

Damn, blood orange and young fathers will be great but I’m heading to BIME in Bilbao that weekend.

There's only been 8 acts announced so far, give it time because about 50 more acts have be added going by last years lineup

Whats the story with the tiered tickets?

kg703 · 24-08-2018 2:36pm

Anyone got an idea what day young fathers are on? It will be necessary to be in attendance

Well this is hardly gonna attract me now after seeing a whole bunch of the acts at All Together Now.

I too am wondering about this, are they for different areas / proximity to the stage? Anyone know?
