I was just scanning back through my pictures from last year and I’m genuinely getting excited about this weekend…
I didn’t do one of these last year but this year I have a couple of small issues that maybe you can help me with.
I’m down on the Friday but on air in the Roadcaster til 5 so that rules anything before then out. Saturday I’m down all day but Sunday I’ve chosen Springsteen. I’ve had a scan through the listings and just jotted down everyone I think I might be interested in seeing. Yes, it’s an aspirational list, there’s no way I’ll get around to everything and there are many clashes, but still.
So, Friday its:
Main Stage – Lily Allen, Blur
Green Spheres – Fight Like Apes, 2 Many DJs
Music Academy – M83, David Holmes
And then on Saturday:
Main Stage – Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Elbow, Bloc Party
02 Stage – Doves, Nick Cave
Green Spheres – TV On The Radio, Pet Shop Boys
Music Academy – Messiah J, Crystal Castles
Dance Arena – Annie Mac
New Bands – Passion Pit, Little Boots
B-Live – Soundcheck (the lovely Unarocks)
Right then, what am I missing and why? Particularly early on Saturday, there’s not a mad amount taking my fancy…

Blur and 2 Many Djs clash, how ya handling that one?
Fred at 2 on saturday
That would involve you reading “Yes, it’s an aspirational list, there’s no way I’ll get around to everything and there are many clashes, but still” correctly…
😛
Regina Spektor maybe, not sure if she is on early enough for you though.
😛 I’m planning on seeing The Hours which will involve leaving Lily Allen slightly early to head for the Hot Press stage.
I’m totally playing it by ear. My three definites are Blur, the Saw Doctors and Kings of Leon so besides them I’m just going to float whereever everyone else wants to go to. So excited!!!
I kinda want to see Sneaky Sound System on Saturday night at 9 for the cheese. They remind me of Oz.
Some Saturday recommendations:
2.45pm – Bitches With Wolves in the Dance Arena. Genius dirty pop.
4pm – Howling Bells at New Bands Stage. Great Aussie indie band with a rocking chick singer/guitarist.
Yo! Dublin Streets and SoundCheck swapped sets, so we’re playing at 4pm on Friday. x
Rick, what was annie mac like? i’m dying to see her djing!
Never made it unfortunately…
there’s hope in the future! she should be coming back with another tour soon *crosses fingers*
