Now this is one to be excited about.

Never seen them live - great booking

Is it possible that these are just a random 10 and they will announce the headliners afterwards?

Eh... sadly no I would say. Holding out hope for 2 names as good as Modeselektor

Huzzah!

Oof. The Blaze is a cracking booking. One of the best gigs at EP18.

We've got 10 acts that we'll be sharing on the CRISP sound system here at an exclusive live party in the @BigRomanceBar - we'll tweet a video for each but there's many more on the full first line-up which will be live at 8pm. #bodysoul19

Guess it wasnt in any order. Santigold, Murder Capital, Mano Le Tough all good bookings. First year in a while im half considering going now

Ok, I'm now much happier.

More acts than I would usually recognise I suppose but if it wasn't for the Blaze there wouldn't be anyone there I would go out of my way to see. Won't be rushing out to buy a ticket anyway.

Yeah, that makes sense. Start your announcements with random acts and announce the big acts when everyone is saying, "is that it, that's sh!t".

Anytime I've seen Santigold live she's been fantastic. Def my pick of the bunch so far.

Lotus Flower

That's pretty poor overall

Kruder & Dorfmeister should be amazing, I've always wanted to see them.

At the moment, this is how I would rank the linup:

The Blaze
Wyvern Lingo
The Murder Capital
Whenyoung
Thumper
Talos
Dream Wife
Laoise
Modeselektor
Santigold
Soak
Bakil
The Drfoter
Oshun
Coely
Tulla Ceili Band
Niamh Regan
The Clockworks
Kruder & Dorfmeister
Princess Nokia
Kate Tempest
Mano Le Tough
Kiddie Smile
Monolink
Lil'Dave
Meltybrains?

Basically, the bands I most want to see are the Irish bands who are not normally announced in the first lineup, most of whom I've seen before, and all of whom play several Irish gigs for c. €15-20 a year.

MadYaker

Underwhelming in my opinion. I was thinking they’d pull out all the stops for the ten year anniversary. I don’t really mind missing it now! Modeselector are good live but the lineup lacks any real star power. That said I went knowing only Jon Hopkins and one or two other names last year and it was still a belter of a weekend, though the weather helped I suppose.

I'd have preferred a smaller venue gig from her but I guess I'm going to Body and Soul now.

They've had santigold, and you don't need to go to a festival to see mano le tough.

Pretty meh overall.

If you look at the line up over the years it's been on a steady decline. There was an excuse either last year or the year before that they cut the budget for acts to buy the main stage, and it'll mean more money for acts in the future, but I wouldn't be holding my breath.

Wonder what this years excuse is.

Eod100

Santigold and a few decent Irish acts , bar that seems a bit underwhelming. Thought they'd go a bit bigger with the 10 year anniversary. Guess there's more acts to come too

bodhrandude

Probably not the most mind blowing announcement but I'll take Modeselektor, The Blaze, Santigold, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Mano le Tough, Talos, The Murder Capital, Meltybrains and the Tulla Ceili Band from that lot, I know I'm gonna be there as I love working at it and there is still a few more names to join the lineup.
