TWO IRISH MUSIC festivals, Forbidden Fruit and Longitude, have announced their respective line ups for this summer.
Forbidden Fruit, which is now in its 13th year, will feature Jamie XX, Underworld and Caribou, while Longitude is returning to Marlay Park with David Guetta and 50 Cent set to take to the stage.
While the headliners might not be to everyone’s taste, there’s no shortage of festivals taking place across the country this summer.
Electric Picnic has set the date for its 21st year in Stradbally (although there is no line up announced yet), while All Together Now is set to return for the August bank holiday.
So today we’re asking: Will you go to a music festival this year?

It’s ok – if you’re looking for a really good podcast check out hunting warhead, the subject matter is difficult but i highly recommend. Hackers hacking hackers to bring down the worlds biggest pedofile ring on the dark net.
@Tommy Sheridan: Thanks for the recommendation, going to check this out
@Tommy Sheridan: Thx for the tip!
I was 4 when this story broke and i can still remember my then teenaged sisters crying at the TV watching it.
Doors chained shut is a horrifying thought, but in the context of that time, not so starnge. Health and safety as we know it now didn’t exist.
I was at a festival back in October, a complete idiot decided to throw a lighted cigarette up on top of a marquee with a lot of young people in it. No-one saw it happen, but there were only young people there and the next day the marquee company, who were taking it down, called me over on-site to see it. They wanted a witness to the damage it caused, so they could rightfully be compensated for the damage. Right over the marquee, which was on a sports ground, were CCTV cameras that would have very likey captured the incident. I asked the marquee company to report it to cops, who I think would have pursued it given the oppurtunity, but they said no as it would have impacted their working relationship with the sports ground. So the arsehole in question got away scot free.
Shite talk: An Irish history podcast. Quite fun.
