    Leaving it very late to announce anything . Strange set up considering they are aiming at families ??

    If I was to guess id say the line up will mainly be the more family friendly acts from the Glasto lineup who are yet to play Ireland this year like The Killers, Kylie, Snow Patrol, Mikey Cyrus etc.

    Killers are playing Belsonic , Snow Patrol doing Dublin and Belfast already. Kylie is a good bet tho

    Which I think probably makes them more likely to do this too

    Am I right in saying this fest is 8000 cap? was that mentioned.

    If so Killers are way too big.

    I wouldnt expect it to be the Killers, as you say, too big. I reckon the headliners will be of the Beatyard/ Groove festival level.

    I wouldn't rule Kylie out, Leo would easily sell our souls for a few minutes with her.

    God bless you Paddy, you're an optimistic soul. I think you need to lower the bar by several notches there. Although Mikey Cyrus might be a possibility.

    I was told it would be this week, not looking likely now. Leaving it till two months before the festival to announce lineup and ticket prices is a dangerous game. I hope they know what they are doing. It will either have to be a kick ass lineup up or cheap as chips ticket prices to sell it out at this stage.

    Even then, I'd have my doubts now. It's clearly being aimed at families with kids and I'd say the vast majority of people with kids who are planning holidays for the summer already have them planned.

    If this was a first time organiser, you'd have your doubts about the professionalism of it but for Festival Republic to be so casual and late is very surprising.

    At a guess, I'd say they're not expecting a lot from this year and, instead, are focused on establishing the brand so that it's top of the list for people next year. But even at that, you'd imagine the line up was at least partly finalised months ago so to have no info at all is still very strange.

    At this point you'd have to expect a very bargain basement lineup, with a tiny capacity, and a lot of day tickets.

    Would be great though. Sometimes optimism pays off. We're too pessimistic sometimes ;)

    The guy behind a few 20 year old trance-pop tunes? That'd certainly be a particular choice.

    Giving up on this one now, it seems to be a lost cause for this year.

    I'm also curious to see how it will pan out. Brought the kids to ATN last year and would definitely be on for this but we have a wedding the same weekend this year. Have to say I agree with other posters that it seems a bit shambolic to have no details but the name and date out at this stage.

    They posted on Facebook 2 days ago that the Lineup was coming VERY soon (Their capitalisation not mine)

    2 months to sell a festival? they are braver souls than me.

    It'll be an interesting feat if they manage it, still though capacity isn't huge, could throw a couple reasonably popular Irish acts and one or two 80s type heritage acts and I reckon they would still have a good chance. Organization of this has been poor so far though. If they pull it off it'll be impressive!

    Wouldn't worry about the time to show a good enough act will sell it out straight away. There's a little bit of spontaneous to it, kind like that in this premeditated world.

    A cursory look through who is playing festivals in the UK around the end of June gives a list of possibilities for this festival.

    Feeder
    Texas
    Keane
    Black Eyed Peas
    Josh Groban
    Bryan Ferry
    Tears For Fears
    Mavericks
    Billy Ocean
    Belinda Carlisle
    Kate Nash
    Kooks
    Paul Weller
    Busted
    Billy Bragg
    Anne Marie
    Fatboy Slim
    Fontaines DC
    Janet Jackson
    Kylie
    Lauren Hill
    Lionel Richie
    Orbital
    Sheryl Crow

    As its an unknown quantity, its highly probable that none of the above will appear, but I would say quite a few of these acts are within the paygrade of this festival, possible exceptions Kylie and Janet.
