    That whole "never been used before location" stuff was a fairly big spoof.

    I guess the TBC festival isn't TBC anymore.

    Not a huge fan of the name kaleidoscope fest though I guess Irish festival names aren't amazing in general.

    Trying to think of an irish fest that sounds cool..... Electric Picnic, Castlepalooza, Knockanstocken.

    All together now and Body & Soul are pretty naff sounding.

    Any personal favs over the years?

    Irelands first family friendly music and arts camping festival.

    I thought all the festivals e.g. atn and ep were family friendly, so I wonder what they mean by this? Is it going to be the first family centered festival, or are they just spoofing?

    Given every single thing in their original teaser was a spoof, I'd imagine that is too

    Not much info to be fair.

    Great spot, it's confirmation Festival Republic are involved in Kaleidoscope Festival though.

    There are running Community festival in London the same weekend. Lineup is below, can't imagine much crossover with a 'family' based festival but we shall see.

    So more like a Camp Bestival than a Bestival style.

    I’d be shocked if it’s anything other than a load of Irish acts and maybe one well known “heritage “ act.

    I've got kids, beyond me why anyone thinks there a fun thing to bring to a festival. Might suit day trippers from Dublin and Wicklow but besides that they'd want to be free Mitsubishis with every ticket and they take the kids off you on the way in for 72hrs.

    Flaming lips will headlines and if it's not the flaming lips with the yoshi robots it'll be them instead.

    The fact its being run by Festival Republic id say we will get decent enough headline acts. Id say Tom Jones will be one

    First??

    Groove has always been family centered and this looks like something very similar judging by the lingo being used

    Also, groove had some excellent bands play and not just Irish bands and a heritage act. Over the few years it's had James, David Gray, Neville staple, Paloma faith, Christy Moore, UB40, fun loving criminals, primal scream, darkness, Paul Heaton etc....

    Seems odd there's been no official announcement on this yet especially if they were advertising it already with that huge banner. Just over 3 months to go so would imagine it will be launched pretty soon. Otherwise seems a fairly tight lead-in to sell tickets for a new festival. Granted capacity might not be huge but still..

    Here we go folks - https://www.kaleidoscopefestival.ie/
    INTRODUCING KALEIDOSCOPE

    MUSIC & ARTS CAMPING FESTIVAL FOR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS

    There has been much speculation about our brand new festival. We are delighted to introduce to you KALEIDOSCOPE - a tantalising new three day camping festival for family and friends. The stunning Russborough House, Blessington will play host to its first EVER festival from Friday 28th to Sunday 30th June 2019.

    Inspired by Electric Picnic, KALEIDOSCOPE will harness the magic of the Little Picnic's entertainment and family campsites and transport it to this brand new venue. Like the Picnic, this is a festival you will want to return to year after year. Expect a host of the best music acts and DJs, in addition to programming for babes in arms to teens as well as the grown-ups.

    Kaleidoscope will have a loyalty ticket scheme that will reward you with special prices if you have attended Electric Picnic in the past.

    Full details of music line-up, entertainment and activities coming soon - make sure to follow us on Instagram, FaceBook and Twitter for the latest updates!

    So basically what was speculated here, parts of EP meant for kids transported to this but on larger scale?

    I am genuinely unsure if the poster is one of those parody ones or not. Its basically a list of things you might get at a festival.

    Scrumdiddlyumtious Festival of Food?
    Group Activities?

    Its gotta be a parody.
