All Together Now 2019

save the polar bear · 2018-08-28 19:58:11

Hi We are a family of four, two adults and a 10 year old and 7 year old. We have been to Body and Soul a few times but we are looking for a change. We were considering All Together Now 2019 but it seems to be a bit pricey especially when ticketmaster adds all its charges! We have a caravan which is an extra 70 Euro. Was…

I'd bet money the stage times *are* still being nailed down. There's a bananas amount of factors that go into determining it.

I'm dying to know myself, but it makes no difference how far in advance as I'm going anyway and there'll be clashes regardless.

Every other festival I've been to abroad has stage times a week in advance, if not more. Why is it so difficult for Irish festivals?

Anyway, as someone said, it'll be an amazing weekend regardless

Anyway this time next week I will be in a queue after a car park beer with my old lady Flamingo trolley full of cans so there's that to look forward to.

Just a week? So your gripe is over three days here? Ah come on now, there other things to worry about than that. Its just something people will get over as they do every year once the stages are out.

Of course it would be nice to get it a bit sooner but it's not going to impact my weekend in any way really. I doubt I'll be planning who I'm gonna see any earlier than I normally do. The routine is pretty much the same for me, pick out 4 or 5 acts that I definitely want to see and go with the flow after that.

And to end on a more positive note, although met eireanns forecast only goes to Thursday, the week ahead looks fairly settled. Hopefully it'll stay that way.

Not concerned about stage times/clashes here at all just want to have fun, meet some loveable *weirdos, hear some live music, half a laugh with my queen and get just a teeny bit fucked up, just hoping the shelf can hold all the necessities.

Fontaines DC will be nice to see if I get to them, I really like their sound.

*They're the normal ones actually*

Who's doing the cheapest slabs of Heineken?
I've seen O'Briens doing them for €28 so might jump on that this weekend.

Off topic of ATN in the strictest sense, but important to remember in light of various schools of thought on release of stage times.

Most people fall into two broad camps. Those that crave and seek out certainty and those that are happy to go with the flow. Within each there is a spectrum of tolerance to certainty, uncertainty, change and stasis. I fall into the former camp...I like to have everything worked out as far in advance as possible to ease the burden on my little worrywort soul. Not because I'm odd (hmmmmm...) but because that's the way my brain is wired.

Nobody is exclusively right, and no-one is exclusively wrong. Just different-er-er.

Details on the NOW by RTE stage, don't think this was previously announced.

Is there easy enough places within the campsites to fill water bottles? or are they in the music areas only...?

So Glen Hansard's going to be there as well it seems. I'm a big Leonard Cohen fan so performances of his work with Hansard, Saint Sister, David Keenan etc. sounds fantastic!

It's not. People said it would be nice to have and moved on. Think we have more people moaning now about other people moaning.. :P

It alright, no cause for alarm, just a stray bot that's wandered into the ATN thread, has been happening in boards quite a bit over the last few days.

Actually just noticed, Colm MacConIomaire is there too. Glen and Colm, methinks the special guests are The Frames.

Does the fact that the special guest is billed under Arcadia not strongly suggest that it will be an electronic act? I can't imagine otherwise, unless Glen Hansard is playing with The Flames

I'll get my coat

I'd absolutely love that, if true I would officially lose my sh1t. Last time I saw them was at EP 2010, basically the setlist album with a few newer ones thrown in. It was perfect, would love to see it again.
