The festival season gets underway in earnest between June 2 and 4 with Forbidden Fruit returning to Dublin’s Royal Hospital, Kilmainham from 2pm to 10.45 pm daily.
The highlights – of which there are many! – include New Order’s first headliner in the capital since 1986; Mazzy Star who haven’t been in Ireland for over a decade; and last act on Wilco who haven’t played nearly enough here either.
This is how it all breaks down:
Saturday June 2 – Leftfield, Bloody Beetroots (DJ Set), Booka Shade, The Field, Factory Floor, Bear In Heaven, Le Galaxie & Toby Kaar
Sunday June 3 – New Order, Death Cab For Cutie, The Rapture, Death In Vegas, Modeselektor, Atlas Sound, Austra, Grimes, Rarely Seen Above Ground & Kool Thing
Monday June 4 – Wilco, James Vincent McMorrow, Beirut, Mazzy Star, Andrew Bird, Field Music, Windings and Julia Holter
That’s just the opening salvo though, with lots more to be added.
