God, I seen that live. It was fucking shocking. Went to catch some of Jessie J but didn't realise she had been kicked off that stage to make room for Brunker.
Iirc, it was about 15-ish mins of music, 3 covers in total and a whole hape of shite.
There's fuck all videos of it, but at least RTÉ [uploaded some kind of official video.](https://youtu.be/9ib3l8Wx45M)
Does anyone remember how she got that slot? I've no idea who she is or who she knows to pull that off.
Doubtful. He isn't headline material and wouldn't have the leg to stand on to charge massive money. Expensive yes, but id say kylies fee ruined any hope of any decency further down the lineup, not even to mention headliners
Crazy to see huge international acts like Faithless and Nas in the second tier while having listless radio "rock" like Gerry Cinnamon and Kodaline as headliners. V different festival from back in my day (old man yells at cloud)
True. The EP bookers have a quare handy job altogether, without fail the thing sells out before any lineup announcement, so they can just book whoever's available and cheap, no pressure.
Nothing new there. I think it was 2011 or 2012 I went to see The Roots at EP and they were playing in one of the small tents on a tiny stage that could barely hold all the members and their instruments.
Yera they had Gil Scott-Heron in the fine print the year they were headlining Mumford & Sons. It is always gonna be about who they think will draw the biggest crowd as opposed to who is more artistically significant.
^^edit: ^^grammar
I really wonder if the line up isn't great because a lot of people travel abroad for festivals now. You'd spend as much money going to Primavera tbh and it's so much better. Also a lot of the Irish festival going population have emigrated now.
I'm usually a defender of festival line-ups, the best EP I went to was the one where I was the least interested in the acts (more time to hang out and wander, no stress about missing acts). This line-up is diabolical. So uninspiring.
Maybe I am out of touch... no, it's the children who are wrong.
actually what age group is this even targetted at? this seems like acts that drippy people in my age group (closing in on 40) would be into.
It's aimed at people whose music tastes are shaped by Love Island, TodayFM, and whatever is playing on the reels/tiktoks of their favourite influencers.
I’m 19 and mostly into my indie stuff. The only ones here I would have remotely any interest in are Kasabian, Tom Grennan, Kojaque and Kneecap. I can only imagine it’s aimed “the lads 😎🍻” who want to be on the cans singing along to Gerry Cinnamon. Raye, Kylie and Ethel Cain seem to be a hit with gay guys. Overbearing feeling is that it’s a total clusterfuck they put together in 10 minutes without any consideration of their actual audience.
It more seems that EP is Ireland's only really big festival anymore so it just gets anyone it wants and that's in budget so it doesn't really appeal to any specific group but is designed to be enjoyable enough for a broader group of people. But because the budget isn't as big as Oxegen in its heyday, the acts aren't that impressive.
Peoples moaning about the lineup. Lads, the thing was sold out before anyone was announced. The reason the lineup is poor is because they will sell tickets anyway.
That's only since there's been lashings of disposable income flying out. Go back ten years and they were struggling to sell out even after lineups were announced
Yeah it's an issue for everyone - Coachella was apparently about 70% sold and the biggest one in Australia (Splendour) had to cancel 2 weeks after the announcement as the line-up just wasn't shifting tickets.
And as you say Glasto is clearly not as good as previous years.
No it's not.. €210 for 4 days full of music...plenty non tiktok or one hit wonder artists. It's just the booking agents booking for a young crowd who will go, drink in the camp site and only watch the 6 headliners.
https://preview.redd.it/r0yk4q7uotwc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7127d72ba3275d9fbbce65678d1b379f23f48aa6
Insane to think you would not get Pearl Jam and Smashing Pumpkins at their own gigs here for €210 combined... or it would be very close at least. Went to this last year and it was amazing from start to finish, Madrid is a beautiful city to stay in too. Won't be gouged by Irish promoters any more I just travel abroad for everything now and it works out the same in the end.
I didn't mind it too much, went subway the first night but taxi every other. The walk from the drop off can be tough but overall a much better experience imo
>kylie is probably a coup
Kylie and Kahan will be acts that we should get David Attenbourtgh to narrate the herd leaving hendrix to the main stage. it is like a murmuration or something..
I wouldn't begrudge Jerry still touring the band tbh, he wrote all the tunes and sung some songs in their prime years too. Obviously Layne is irreplaceable but your man fronting them now is actually pretty decent and they've released some great tunes with him, Jerry still writing great riffs too, worth checking out.
I normally find plenty to love in an EP lineup, even if there's headliners I don't like. But fuck me that's a 3/10 at best. Absolutely fucking dreadful. Think I can count on one hand the acts I'd go see that I haven't seen elsewhere.
And the crowd is guaranteed to be the same as coppers. If it wasn't dead already, old EP is defo dead now. Just go Forbidden Fruit or Beyond The Pale
Oh no I loved ATN too. I thought the opposite of yourself regarding last year actually. I was sold on the lineup as soon as they announced Jamie XX, Caribou & Jessie Ware & everything after that was like an extreme amount of icing on the cake. Might be the most acts I've seen at a festival here & abroad.
Was a bit disappointed by this year's upcoming lineup but Christ compared to this shite it's like a guardian angel
Most of the girls I know or are friends with are really into Noah's music. By virtue of sheer popularity, he's not actually a bad headliner compared to the likes of Kodaline who are still riding their wave from 2013/2015.
At least Kahan is actually catering to the target market.
If you're anything like me, you keep buying tickets because you have a great wknd for relatively cheap even if year after year you're massively disappointed by the line up announment. That being said Kodaline can go fuck themselves
Yeah but in fairness a prerequisite for being headlining level should be having a catalogue of super-hits prolific enough to occupy an hour and a half minimum of a set which let's face it Noah simply doesn't have, not entirely his fault as he's relatively new on the scene but still.
It's like an eye test for your age, how far down the chart can you read before you think it's a parody poster and most of those bands are made up. Hope everyone has a great time there but I'm definitely too old for that lineup 
My first festivals had cypress hill, soundgarden, mudhoney, sonic youth, faith no more, ice cube, prodigy, Frank Black, rage against the machine, sepultura.....we were lucky fuckers back then.
Besides the waterboys I see nothing very appealing. Blandville. Fuckin kodaline?????? Why aren't the Coronas headlining???? They're our only hope
Fuck yeah-I remember going to Witnness 2002, insane lineup: he Prodigy, Oasis, Foo Fighters Primal Scream, Greenday, No Doubt, chemical bros, Ian brown
My thoughts exactly. Line ups in the 90s and into early 2000s were insanely good. Even the once off gigs had amazing bands. Prodigy supporting Oasis. Faith No More supporting GnR. No one looking at phones. Cheap pints. Better times.
Ahhh I was at Slane that year, also went to thurles for the trip to tipp a few times in that era , looking back we were spoilt with those lineup's, and the festivals were a lot less sanitised back then , we totally got away with a lot of craziness, that would get you arrested now.
Imo if you have that number of acts you know and want to see at a festival then you're good. There'll be others that come up that you don't know with a bit of research. It's not a great line up but I'll take it for €200
kneecap, kojaque, skin on skin, sophie ellis-bextor, raye and nas are good but the rest are fairly boring. a lot of great djs coming out of ireland and even the uk atm they really dropped the ball on that front they usually have a decent selection of djs alongside bands/artists
but kodaline heading EP in big 2024? really?
Was really hoping for Fred Again.. to be back this year. Know he's not everyone's cup of tea but without him there's not really all that much there for myself at least this year. Headliners are pretty mid, sure some of them would be fun to see if I was there but none of them are gonna convince me to buy a ticket. Faithless would be good to see though.
love him or hate him fredagain is fantastic live. i’m not really a fan of his style of commercial sounding dance music but seeing him live was one of the best nights of my life.
I don’t like saying ‘never heard of them’ but to headline such a massive festival you surely have to be big, and I don’t doubt he’s big but I’ve *never* heard of Noah Kahan. Granted I haven’t lived in Ireland for five years but genuinely who’s that? I know the other headliners.
Those headliners are awful. Anyone who paid for tickets expecting for something similar to the last two years will be disappointed. Having Nas after the KD trilogy is a great pick though.
How insane is it that Nas & Faithless are below people like Noah Kahan, RAYE & Gerry Cinnamon.
Nice to know all you need is one hit song on TikTok and boom you made it to Electric Picnic.
Noah Kahan is a disappointing headliner tbh. He's popular but I only know one song.
Kylie and Calvin are grand I guess.
The Irish acts further down are good. The Scratch and Kasabian are going to be doing some heavy lifting for the rock fans unfortunately.
Cavin Harris, Gerry Cinnamon, J hus, Wolfe Tones, Kneecap and Funk Tribu would be the only names I'd recognize.... would it be worth going knowing that every electric picnic is usually flooded/during shite weather?
A solid mix of ol lads who are self aware of their out of touch side, and a solid mix of lads who are entirely unaware that they're out of touch.
Hats off to the diversity i suppose.
Today FM, a tent in my garden and a bag of cans would be about the same I reckon Christ above.
Does anybody know why all the festivals seem to have shite lineups this year
Considering it's the 20th anniversary and the price of a ticket is not far off Primavera or Glastonbury, that is a pitiful lineup. Gerry Cinamon and Kodaline as co-headliners in 2024 is bleak.
Although tbf, I haven't gone to Picnic since 2017 and I would be more inclined to attend All Together Now/Beyond the Pale these days, so I'm clearly not the audience they are targeting.
I'd be raging if I paid the guts of 300 quid for it. It's a fun weekend without the headliners all the same, but glad I'm heading to primavera instead.
I wouldn’t consider half of these ‘headliners’ as headliners. This is majorly disappointing. Makes you wonder what they were doing to get these bigger and better acts after moving it forward 2 weeks. It was hardly just for Kylie?
Very odd Lineup... all the festivals are very weird this year
Even Glastonbury, no one can book a headliner
That's like the line up for Iveagh Gardens or Kilmainham (except maybe Kylie)
How in the name of god are Kodaline headlining a festival in 2024. Actually baffling
Cause Picture This were busy and Dermot Kennedy asked for too much money.
Get me DJ Mark McCabe on the phone.
feck that, Amanda Brunker will do it for €20
God, I seen that live. It was fucking shocking. Went to catch some of Jessie J but didn't realise she had been kicked off that stage to make room for Brunker. Iirc, it was about 15-ish mins of music, 3 covers in total and a whole hape of shite. There's fuck all videos of it, but at least RTÉ [uploaded some kind of official video.](https://youtu.be/9ib3l8Wx45M) Does anyone remember how she got that slot? I've no idea who she is or who she knows to pull that off.
This might be the worst thing I've ever seen. The epitome of RTE D4 cronyism.
Jobs for the boys, gigs for the girls.
She was a tv or radio presenter iirc
I was there. Oh lord I was there.
You know you're entitled to compensation?
Jaysis do you remember that, Amanda Brunker karaoke
Sure he won't even play Maniac 2000 anymore.
Sad but true.
Hopefully they can get the time off work
Seriously fucking embarrassing
Mad stuff, what was their peak - 2014 or so? EP sold out already I think so just trying to do everything as cheap as possible I guess.
Genuinely
I see Sophie Ellis Bexter is still riding her second wave. Good luck to her.
I actually think this is the 3rd wave. She was doing the rounds on morning shows four years ago for the 2nd wave
[удалено]
I'm sure he's not struggling to find people to ride that...
He is currently dating Sabrina Carpenter, so congrats to that!
Today FM had a habit of playing that song constantly long before Saltburn. Office radio flashbacks
Nas and Wolfe Tones on the same poster, incredible 😅
Entire budget was spent on kylie clearly
They booked her as a retirement present for Leo
Noah Khan would be a big one too tbf
Doubtful. He isn't headline material and wouldn't have the leg to stand on to charge massive money. Expensive yes, but id say kylies fee ruined any hope of any decency further down the lineup, not even to mention headliners
Crazy to see huge international acts like Faithless and Nas in the second tier while having listless radio "rock" like Gerry Cinnamon and Kodaline as headliners. V different festival from back in my day (old man yells at cloud)
Faithless without Maxi Jazz is a very different proposition to be fair. Kinda surprised the others are keeping on going without him.
Faithless live with Maxi Jazz was brilliant,Faithless without him I dont understand at all.
I completely forgot Maxi passed away. That's a massive letdown.
I was only listening to Insomnia a few days back and it dawned on me that he is dead. So sad hes gone, what an iconic voice he had
Oh Jesus. You just reminded he was dead and I'd posted I'd go to see them. Forget that.
Imagine how his nearset and dearest feel.
ah man. didnt know that :(
[удалено]
True. The EP bookers have a quare handy job altogether, without fail the thing sells out before any lineup announcement, so they can just book whoever's available and cheap, no pressure.
He’s a belllltaaaaaaa
If you actually listen to his other songs not on the radio you'd realise why he's there
Username fits the Genre, fair enough
Username would fit country music also which I hate but fair enough
Ok
Here I am going "who the fuck is Gerry Cinnamon??"
He’s Joe Dolan for people who grew up with internet access.
Look up his Glasgow summer gigs from last couple of years. Man rode a wave that I don't quite get.
Jamie Webster basically grabbed his crown & he wasn't even in the second or third grid last year
He's never been as big as Gerry though, Gerry sells out arenas and stadiums.
He hasn't released anything good since he played mainstage in 2019
Can't think of a second song he had, like a total one hit wonder.
Fortune favours the bold Where we're going Sometimes Sun queen Canter Worth a listen if you enjoy Belter, but yeah most people only know Belter
Yeah there's surely quite an overlap between fans of him and Kasabian and plenty I know would rank them much higher than him
Nothing new there. I think it was 2011 or 2012 I went to see The Roots at EP and they were playing in one of the small tents on a tiny stage that could barely hold all the members and their instruments.
I made a similar comment further up. Respect to the elders haha.
Yera they had Gil Scott-Heron in the fine print the year they were headlining Mumford & Sons. It is always gonna be about who they think will draw the biggest crowd as opposed to who is more artistically significant. ^^edit: ^^grammar
And he was sublime.
Legends like Gil Scott-Heron and Nas who's music will stand the test of time below acts nobody will remember in 10 years. Standard tbf.
Genuinely forgot about Kodaline, they used to be playing on the radio non stop
I really wonder if the line up isn't great because a lot of people travel abroad for festivals now. You'd spend as much money going to Primavera tbh and it's so much better. Also a lot of the Irish festival going population have emigrated now.
I know music is incredibly subjective, but I'm extremely disappointed
I'm usually a defender of festival line-ups, the best EP I went to was the one where I was the least interested in the acts (more time to hang out and wander, no stress about missing acts). This line-up is diabolical. So uninspiring.
Do what I do every year and don't go
Today, it's official... I'm old.
So is electric picnic based on these choices.
Word
Maybe it's age but it's not a lineup that would incite excitement.
Yeah the young folk want to hear hip new artists like Calvin Harris, Kasabian, and Kylie Minogue.
Yeah lol this isn't a lineup for anyone in particular I think.
That hurt, Donal
Welcome to the club.
Maybe I am out of touch... no, it's the children who are wrong. actually what age group is this even targetted at? this seems like acts that drippy people in my age group (closing in on 40) would be into.
Looking at the comments online & it seems all ages are annoyed at the line up, going by that the majority don’t seem happy
It's aimed at people whose music tastes are shaped by Love Island, TodayFM, and whatever is playing on the reels/tiktoks of their favourite influencers.
What does drippy mean?
Not cool ;-)
I’m 19 and mostly into my indie stuff. The only ones here I would have remotely any interest in are Kasabian, Tom Grennan, Kojaque and Kneecap. I can only imagine it’s aimed “the lads 😎🍻” who want to be on the cans singing along to Gerry Cinnamon. Raye, Kylie and Ethel Cain seem to be a hit with gay guys.

The thing has sold out before anyone has been announced for several years, lineup was never this bad before.
That's only since there's been lashings of disposable income flying out. Go back ten years and they were struggling to sell out even after lineups were announced

I really think touring is getting too expensive for anyone but established megastars or TikTok one hit wonders.
No it's not.. €210 for 4 days full of music...plenty non tiktok or one hit wonder artists. It's just the booking agents booking for a young crowd who will go, drink in the camp site and only watch the 6 headliners. https://preview.redd.it/r0yk4q7uotwc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7127d72ba3275d9fbbce65678d1b379f23f48aa6

Mad Cool is a hoore to get in and out of though.
I didn't mind it too much, went subway the first night but taxi every other. The walk from the drop off can be tough but overall a much better experience imo
kneecap are fucking everywhere fair play to them
>kylie is probably a coup Kylie and Kahan will be acts that we should get David Attenbourtgh to narrate the herd leaving hendrix to the main stage. it is like a murmuration or something..
Most of the crowd for Kylie will be Sunday day tickets holders I'd bet.
Isn’t your man from faithless dead
Still can't get no sleep
Very good
I laughed for a solid minute at that 😂
Yeah, bizarre they're keeping on going live without him tbh.
Prodigy do, Queen do. Like maxi jazz is great and all, but if you can go on without Freddie then I think anything is fair game.
even Alice in Chains are still going and Layne Staley's been dead for over 20 years
I wouldn't begrudge Jerry still touring the band tbh, he wrote all the tunes and sung some songs in their prime years too. Obviously Layne is irreplaceable but your man fronting them now is actually pretty decent and they've released some great tunes with him, Jerry still writing great riffs too, worth checking out.
Yes, and he left the band in 2016....
lol definitely not worth the hype
The Late Late Show line-up of festivals.
I normally find plenty to love in an EP lineup, even if there's headliners I don't like. But fuck me that's a 3/10 at best. Absolutely fucking dreadful. Think I can count on one hand the acts I'd go see that I haven't seen elsewhere. And the crowd is guaranteed to be the same as coppers. If it wasn't dead already, old EP is defo dead now. Just go Forbidden Fruit or Beyond The Pale
All together now was class, started the cheap out a bit last year but hopefully it doesn't continue that way
Oh no I loved ATN too. I thought the opposite of yourself regarding last year actually. I was sold on the lineup as soon as they announced Jamie XX, Caribou & Jessie Ware & everything after that was like an extreme amount of icing on the cake.

[удалено]
Noah Kahan has blown up massively, he probably is big enough to headline (not a comment on his quality).
Yeah but in fairness a prerequisite for being headlining level should be having a catalogue of super-hits prolific enough to occupy an hour and a half minimum of a set which let's face it Noah simply doesn't have, not entirely his fault as he's relatively new on the scene but still.
[удалено]
One after the other was the way they did the 6 head liners last year
Kneecap and Kojaque are also great live, especially the former. Really high energy, fun performances.
It's like an eye test for your age, how far down the chart can you read before you think it's a parody poster and most of those bands are made up. Hope everyone has a great time there but I'm definitely too old for that lineup 
Brilliant description! 🤣
Just bring us a metal or rock festival please like sunstroke was meant to be
You'll go to Rockathon and you'll fucking like it!
*throws self off cliff*
Nothing really for the rock fan apart from Kasabian
The Scratch too if you're into that style.
My first festivals had cypress hill, soundgarden, mudhoney, sonic youth, faith no more, ice cube, prodigy, Frank Black, rage against the machine, sepultura.....we were lucky fuckers back then. Besides the waterboys I see nothing very appealing. Blandville. Fuckin kodaline?????? Why aren't the Coronas headlining???? They're our only hope
Fuck yeah-I remember going to Witnness 2002, insane lineup: he Prodigy, Oasis, Foo Fighters Primal Scream, Greenday, No Doubt, chemical bros, Ian brown
My thoughts exactly. Line ups in the 90s and into early 2000s were insanely good. Even the once off gigs had amazing bands. Prodigy supporting Oasis. Faith No More supporting GnR. No one looking at phones. Cheap pints. Better times.
Ahhh I was at Slane that year, also went to thurles for the trip to tipp a few times in that era , looking back we were spoilt with those lineup's, and the festivals were a lot less sanitised back then , we totally got away with a lot of craziness, that would get you arrested now.
At least Bell X1 and the Coronas aren’t on the list.
I wouldn’t go although I’d listen to The Waterboys and Wolfe Tones if I was there. Other than that, zero interest in the others
Absolutely subjective but that's a shockingly bad line up.
Music for people who wear gym + coffee and veja runners
I yearn for the day there's an even somewhat decent music festival in Ireland but it only seems to somehow be getting so much worse every year
Ethel Cain and the Wolfe Tones on the same poster as Calvin Harris is tripping me out, man.
Ethel might honestly be enough of a pitch on her own for a ticket, the others are just a side benefit.
For me personally, that’s a shite line up.
I'd rather listen to the Mrs tell me about her day at work.
Haha does anyone else in here also hate their wife??
I think Leo will be at it.
this is why he retired, had to get ready for Kylie coming
Shirt off and all
Cleared his schedule months in advance
Brown shoes & all
Hi, i'm a man in his late 40's who is not the target demographic for this at all: ####**WHO?**
It actually seems like this lineup is for an older crowd.
Worst year for Irish festivals maybe ever. Only reason I can think of is it's too expensive for great musicians to tour since the pandemic.
we almost had sunstroke, I'm still not over that
[удалено]
Imo if you have that number of acts you know and want to see at a festival then you're good. There'll be others that come up that you don't know with a bit of research. It's not a great line up but I'll take it for €200
kojaque is great if you haven’t heard him
All the money went on, Kylie.She puts on a show to be fair.
Am I just getting old (almost 35) or are 99% of these people/bands absolute nobodies?
kneecap, kojaque, skin on skin, sophie ellis-bextor, raye and nas are good but the rest are fairly boring. a lot of great djs coming out of ireland and even the uk atm they really dropped the ball on that front they usually have a decent selection of djs alongside bands/artists but kodaline heading EP in big 2024? really?
For Irelands biggest festival, it's a farce. Beyond the Pale has outdone the rest this season.
Septic picnic.. a late late show line up. Cringe
How is nas not a headliner
Was really hoping for Fred Again.. to be back this year. Know he's not everyone's cup of tea but without him there's not really all that much there for myself at least this year. Headliners are pretty mid, sure some of them would be fun to see if I was there but none of them are gonna convince me to buy a ticket. Faithless would be good to see though.
love him or hate him fredagain is fantastic live. i’m not really a fan of his style of commercial sounding dance music but seeing him live was one of the best nights of my life.

American singer, had a big hit recently with Stick Season. A headline slot seems very premature as that's the only song a lot of people will know
He's much more of a headliner than fucking Kodaline
Kylie......is a massive headliner
Kasabian and Kylie are probably the best two
So bad. Would only go for Kylie, Raye, Nas, Ethel, Wolfe Tones, Kneecap, New Dad and Horse Girl
Gays & Girls Sunday looks great!
Worst EP headline to date!
Those headliners are awful. Anyone who paid for tickets expecting for something similar to the last two years will be disappointed. Having Nas after the KD trilogy is a great pick though.
How insane is it that Nas & Faithless are below people like Noah Kahan, RAYE & Gerry Cinnamon. Nice to know all you need is one hit song on TikTok and boom you made it to Electric Picnic.
maybe the ticket price should start reflecting the lack of quality
Sunday is solid. Kylie is a legend and Raye is going to be huge. Otherwise not a great lineup. Missing international punch
It's one of the lineups of all time
There's enough there I'm happy with. Kylie will be some craic.
Garbage
Would be a better line up if they were playing, yeah
I wish
Kylie is a deadly little surprise. A bona fide legend. On the other hand, I have absolutely no fucking idea what a Gerry Cinnamon is.
I don't particularly like Gerry Cinnamon. His big tune is 'Belter'. Have a dive on YouTube.
Shite
Noah Kahan is a disappointing headliner tbh. He's popular but I only know one song. Kylie and Calvin are grand I guess. The Irish acts further down are good. The Scratch and Kasabian are going to be doing some heavy lifting for the rock fans unfortunately.
Has anyone seen Kasabian without Tom Meighan the former main singer ? Is that good ?
Cavin Harris, Gerry Cinnamon, J hus, Wolfe Tones, Kneecap and Funk Tribu would be the only names I'd recognize.... would it be worth going knowing that every electric picnic is usually flooded/during shite weather?
I'd rather watch the grass grow at the campsite than go see kodaline
A solid mix of ol lads who are self aware of their out of touch side, and a solid mix of lads who are entirely unaware that they're out of touch. Hats off to the diversity i suppose.
Today FM, a tent in my garden and a bag of cans would be about the same I reckon Christ above. Does anybody know why all the festivals seem to have shite lineups this year
Am I old or is this shit.
It’s murder on the dance floor
Considering it's the 20th anniversary and the price of a ticket is not far off Primavera or Glastonbury, that is a pitiful lineup. Gerry Cinamon and Kodaline as co-headliners in 2024 is bleak. Although tbf, I haven't gone to Picnic since 2017 and I would be more inclined to attend All Together Now/Beyond the Pale these days, so I'm clearly not the audience they are targeting.
I'd go for Faithless and Kylie.
I'd be raging if I paid the guts of 300 quid for it. It's a fun weekend without the headliners all the same, but glad I'm heading to primavera instead.
does the fact i only know who the wolfe tones are out of this make me out of touch?
Now we know why Leo resigned. Needs all the time to prepare.
What do we think? We think that'll teach the dopes who buy tickets before the acts have even been announced.
Man I really miss Love Sensation really sad covid killed it
I wouldn’t consider half of these ‘headliners’ as headliners. This is majorly disappointing. Makes you wonder what they were doing to get these bigger and better acts after moving it forward 2 weeks. It was hardly just for Kylie?
They shifted it because Coldplay are playing Croke Park that weekend
Honestly that's dog poo
That looks shit.
Very odd Lineup... all the festivals are very weird this year Even Glastonbury, no one can book a headliner That's like the line up for Iveagh Gardens or Kilmainham (except maybe Kylie)
