If you were in some kind of doubt that Longitude didn’t already have the best overall lineup of any Irish festival so far this summer, they’ve just added a ton of names to the lineup this morning which include Nialler9 favourites like Gold Panda, King Krule, London Grammar, Kool Thing, White Collar Boy, Le Galaxie and Dutch Uncles.
The full list of additions are:
The Maccabees, Laura Mvula, Wolf Alice, Gold Panda, Dutch Uncles, Matt Corby, Marcus Foster, King Krule, Japandroids, Hudson Taylor, East India Youth, London Grammar, Drenge, Tribes, Milo Greene, Funeral Suits, Leaders of Men, White Collar Boy, Ofei, Le Galaxie, Kool Thing, Blue Hawaii and SOAK.
Longitude takes place Friday 19th to Sunday 21st of July in Marlay Park. Tickets are €149.50 plus fees for the weekend or day tickets are €54.50 plus fees from Ticketmaster.
Here’s a playlist of the new bands added:
Niall Byrne is the founder of the most-influential Irish music site Nialler9, where he has been writing about music since 2005. He is the co-host of the Nialler9 Podcast and has written for the Irish Times, Irish Independent, Sunday Times, Totally Dublin, Cara Magazine, Red Bull and more. Niall is a DJ, co-founder of Lumo Club, event curator, Indie Sleaze club promoter, and producer of gigs and monthly listening parties & events in Dublin.
I’d been waiting for Japandroids and CoCoRosie to be added to the bill. One out of two aint bad! Is that the full lineup now?
I’d say there’ll be a few more. Plus Comedy etc.
