    They're referring to who was playing last year

    Hozier The 1975 Florence & the Machine
    Major Laser Twenty-one Pilots The Coronas

    State of that, surely not.

    The 1975 - Tame Impala - Twenty One Pilots - Hozier
    Aphex Twin - The Streets - Anderson Paak - Robyn

    I think we are guaranteed to get The 1975 and Tame Impala at least. Florence & the Machine probably possible too but I felt adding her into the acts above would be too strong of a headline pack. I wonder will we get an older headliner from the 80s/90s this year?

    I'd be pretty happy with that to be fair

    I'm gonna call Eric Pridz and his Holo show, palying up north in June would be a perfect fit for picnic.

    A friend of mine has offered to sell me his ticket as he can't make it anymore. I'll still be seventeen in September so I'm wondering are they strict about checking for ID?

    If you look under 21 they’ll more than likely check.

    In a good way, ie hopeful of decent acts? Or a bad way, ie they'll take great stuff from EP?

    Yeah, I think they'll get a fair few goodies but EP will get many more and a much more eclectic and wider spread of acts. Nonetheless there'll be far fewer disposable pop acts at ATN.

    I don't think they'll really take acts from each other, the international acts will mostly have tour dates throughout July/August in Europe anyway, so if ATN didn't exist, they probably just wouldn't play in Ireland at all, rather than hanging around for EP, or fitting it into their schedule.
    similarly ATN will miss out on acts that are coming over later in the summer, perhaps playing gigs in late August/September/October and will get booked for EP.

    many of the smaller Irish acts will probably play at both. Fontaines DC being exclusive are probably very much an exception, rather than a rule, hence getting their own separate announcement.

    I think there's something in what you say but there must be a fair few acts whose Summer schedule covers both festivals. They're only four weeks apart. If ATN get the likes of Stereolab or Tame Impala then they've nicked them from EP, though the latter too big for ATN. The first two announced acts are definitely ones that EP would have been interested in.

    I wouldnt say Tame Impala are too big for ATN since they last headlined FF last time. Still think EP will get them instead of ATN

    FF was in 2016 and they've gotten much bigger in those three years. They're headlining Coachella and Primavera Sound amongst other fests this year and I'd be astonished if ATN got them.

    same here... very much a "EPs little brother" feel to the ATN line up.

    I agree, though there's plenty of stuff there I'd love at EP. You've also got to assume that nearly all the decent Irish acts will also be at Stradbally.
