All Together Now 2024

Arcadia line-up had "Special Guest" for Sunday when it was announced yesterday. Today's post (2nd slide below) has Tommy Holohan on the poster in that place. Some decent harder techno at least.

Either a leak that they're supposed to be holding off, or the usual bizarre shambles of marketing from ATN

There was in 2019, improved in 2022 but last year, for a festival of it's size, was one of the easiest load ins ever.

Traffic management was spot on too

2019 was an absolute disaster getting into the festival. They had MAJOR traffic issues, I had friends who sat in traffic for over 8 hours to get in through no fault of their own. Many people arriving into the campsite as it was getting dark. It was a fairly brutal walk to the campsite too. But the past two years have been a breeze and the walk isn't too bad, no worse than your average.

It's a beautiful festival site and has a really nice crowd of mainly people above 25. Lineup looking good already for me and hopefully a few nice ones in their next announcement too.

You've absolutely nailed my thoughts of the past few years of dance music. I thought i was the only one! Seen Efa O'Neill before, thought she was a bit of a snooze tbh, one of those 'something's gonna happen any minute now' type sets that i find far too prevalent. Like you, Shee is not my cuppa but i can see him going down a storm.

They do for sure, in fairness the site I quite well drained due to the hills and such, but the ground was badly affected from the massive accumulation of rain from the months previous, hopefully we'll get on much better this year.

Absolutely agree, but in fairness that was the first time it had happened in ATN's relatively short history. Saying all that, they should have anticipated it and had plenty of wood chip or even straw on hand to help out, I don't remember seeing any of it.

The saving grace was the semi warm and sunny Sunday that just about improved the ground and didn't let it deteriorate further. We could have potentially had a serious mudbath on our hands.

Ah, pity. Would be nice.

I love the build-up to a festival, 3 months out and a tonne of announcements to come, they've improved the festival year on year so fully expect some more additions this year to make the experience better for everyone. I loved the new outdoor stage last year but I also loved the end of road stage and feel that stage was a miss last year, especially the Friday night in the rain. I'd like to see another indoor stage added close to main area somewhere. What would people on here like to see improved?

I know the oul DJ's aren't the most popular on here but very happy with Sama' Abdulhadi & KiNK

Also fairly happy with the Comedy Tent, Colin Geddis and Jarlath Regan are great !

Who have people been enjoying sub-headliner spots so for, Glass Beams and Really Good Times i've been enjoying !

Welcome!

The short answer, re distance, in my view is - not too far! Maybe 10 or 15 minutes walk. Depends a little on which end of carparks exactly that you are in. But very manageable. I presume you meant 'tent' not 'rent' sizes?! No limit that I could see. Saw some very big, multi-person tents. I am the complete opposite - squeeze into a wee corner in a small, 2 man tent. But you'll be grand.

Hi folks, looking at some of the camping options and still undecided on what to do. Could be late arriving on the Fri do thinking about pre-pitched options.

There are 2 man tent options in both Camplight and Pink Moon.
In terms of location and organization, can anyone shed any light on these. I know Pink Moon from EP so generally was well organized when I've been there, but no nothing about Camplight.
Regarding location, anyone provide any insights to pros/cons of each?

I do like the idea of the gardens area being a bit disconnected though, it seems much more calmer down there. A place to go and chill for a while. One would assume that's where this new acoustic area will be?

You can walk to the gardens through the wood behind the belonging bandstand, no need to go by the Deer's head
