    I was more on board before these extra announcements TBH. Was hoping for a few decent names but there's not much in this or last week's one with David O'Doherty that would make me take the plunge.

    Still, the first announcement of Young Fathers, Mac De Marco, Villager, etc is still quite strong...

    i see they have changed the listing now to include stages
    I assumed Mac would be headliner but it looks like Roisin
    i hope he gets a decent set length or ill be a sad bunny

    Have they given a breakdown of who’s playing the Saturday?

    If you go onto the website, click the line-up tab and hover over the acts you like, it tells you when they're playing. https://www.metropolisfestival.ie/#lineup

    Saturday looks like:
    Villagers, Friendly Fires, Gwenno, Booka Brass, David Keenan, with David O'Doherty compere.

    Everyone else announced so far is Sunday.

    Is the line up looking a little light with only 4 weeks out?

    I was at the first metropolis and could've sworn there was a hell of a lot more announced in the lineup at this stage.

    In the context of gigs this year, it's extremely lazy. Most, if not all, of those acts played EP, ATN or elsewhere in Ireland already this year.

    Surely there's more acts to be announced!? The Saturday will be empty of acts and people otherwise?

    probably just a few Irish DJs for the 2nd room, this was the Saturday last year, so wouldn't be expecting much more to be announced this year

    Villagers, Gwenno, Friendly Fires, David O'Doherty, David Keenan and Booka Brass

    Good individual acts, terrible combination of acts

    Does it look like there is any more coming for this? It still looks very light to me.

    It really does. I like elements of the line up, but it seems incredibly light

    I'd be happy enough to catch Villagers, Young Fathers, Mac de Marco and the Black Madonna at any festival but I'm not sure it's worth the ticket price and the travel up for the weekend for me.

    A video ad on my Instagram yesterday still had the "more to come" tag on the end of it in terms of acts but the website doesn't have any hint of that so I'm not sure if it was an old ad or is the line just not printed on the site.

    I’m sorta hoping a cheap ticket might fall my way. Just for young fathers though!

    When are they gonna announce the 2 extra stages for the Sunday?

    Lineup is very good quality wise, but lacking quantity wise

    That is disappointing. As was said already, I have no issue with the quality of the acts, just the quantity.

    Not for me this year.

    Its worth it for Roisin Murphy alone, the rest are a bonus as far as I'm concerned...

    Bit miffed about Mac being sub headline
    Surely he's the biggest profile artist on the whole line-up?

    i asked them specifically if Mac or Roisin were headlining
    they told me both were, so i figured they would be on different stages
    they it pans out that Mac is second and is only getting an hour
    He's the reason i bought a ticket!

    Roisin gets an 1:15 so not a huge difference, but would prefer an extra 15 minutes of mac

    No schedule/times for the Saturday is poor form. Looking beyond wafer thin at this stage.

    Anyone reckon Villagers will play a standalone Dublin gig? Wouldn't mind catching them but can't make this weekend. I know there's an Irish tour in December so guess another gig could be announced after this weekend maybe?
