SOC is (was really) a brilliant talent, but watching her perform these days is not a pleasant experience.

I don't think it will be her anyways so tis all good! I've never seen her live but obviously in her day was one of best Irish artists around. Haven't listened to her new stuff to know what it's like tbh

Got a letter from Ticketmaster saying there was an issue with the bar code on my tickets and more tickets in the envelope? Anyone have the same?

I guess this is a matter of opinion, who is everyone's best Irish female singer?

I think Dolores could hold a note well. Enya too but her style is a bit more laid back and not as demanding.

Hmmm a little bit worrying for people buying tickets 2nd hand if the original owner may get more in the post

I know, its very strange. Haven't heard of anyone else I know having the same issue though. Like the ticket is the exact same and it says to bring the letter with the tickets for entry or you may be refused?

Has everyone received their tickets?

I don't think we have but seems they are released in batches.

I'd be very surprised if the Special Guest wasn't an Irish act. I think festivals like to use the "Special Guest" billing to announce a crowd pleasing Irish act on the radio (used previously for Villagers at ATN, Gavin James, Coronas, Walking on Cars at Indiependence).

The David Keenan thing could be the special guest, maybe someone like Glen Hansard or Bell X1, I doubt it's an international act, or anything too niche/indie.

Can you buy ice onsite to top up your cooler? Realistically? Or do the run out by Saturday morning like EP

Some really out of the way small stage with a suprise show so no large crowd.

Be great

the prices for ice went on the rise in line with the temperature... 7 quid for a bag of ice on Sunday, bad form.

They'd run out but the shop was restocked at least once a day, maybe more. Worth asking when they're expecting a restock if they're out so you can go back.

Wasnt aware prices were increasing.
Love the idea of buying cold mixers for my spirits and keep them in my insulated stainless steel bottle. Who says you cant have a cold drink at a festival unless buying from the bars?!

That's way way way too early to be looking . Don't start taking it serious until at least Monday / Tuesday.

Anyways, everyone get the child of Prague out just to be on the safe side

Sinead for me anyway. Hot Press saying her only Irish gig this year will be Feile, shame as they also say:

"Sinead O'Connor will be performing her own songs, and some select hits from the Songbook of Shane MacGowan in Thurles this September."

Whoever mentioned Sinead O'Connor, she can feck off, I spent a Sunday afternoon at the Picnic trying to escape her wailing from the main stage, was in Body&Soul with my mate and was like... Christ I can still hear her, eventually I went into the bass beats of the Bacardi Bar, Kelly-Anne Byrne saved the day.

Ha ha harsh!! I hope she gets a weekend residency on her own stage...4 shows a day :P

Orbitals big top gig in Galway is billed as their only Irish performance this summer. Won’t be them

saw her in the Opera House in Cork a few years ago and she was class..

although I heard that she can be hit or miss

RINO87

.....only irish performance announced!

I too was at that EP where Sinead O'Connor performed. It wasn't great very shouty. Now this could easily have been an off day and I imagine the Opera House would be a much better venue to see her.

I feel like I saw this was it 2011?

Can you bring in bottles of say 2 litre minerals or do all your mixers have to be decanted too?
