So sunstroke is back apparently https://www.sunstrokeireland.com/ being announced at 7pm any word or good shouts on the lineup? Faith no more i suppose they hage an announcement at the same time and played before.
Faith No More & Deftones (that was confirmed to me by someone who has seen the annoucement that's coming out later). So obviously the Faith No More announcement this evening is Euro festival dates.
I was told it's Punchestown
I saw Faith No More at Sunstroke when I was 16 and will probably bringing my daughter to see them at this, at which point she'll also be 16. Weird.
Man, I'd fuckin love to catch Faith no More.

Unreal.
Mental. I was at 94 and 95 so I never saw FNM. Not sure how arsed I'd be in going to a day long fest of stuff I'd probably not be into just to see them though. You never know, though...
Always said I'd never bother with any more big outdoor gigs in Ireland after every shambles I've gone to in Punchestown, but FNM would really test that...
As tempted as I'd be to see FNM again, I saaw them on the Angel Dust tour and that was probably enough for me. Can't be arsed with festivals anyway.
I'm curious to see what the rest of the line up is like though. Are we getting an all metal/alt rock bill?Is it going to be all 90s bands nostalgia exercise?

Faith No More and Deftones. Holy fuck.
Can't imagine who else would be on the upper part of the bill but surely there'd be a Therapy? Or a Kerbdog on early in the day?
Yeah safe bet I'd say, and I'd put money on that Fang Club shite or Bitch Falcon too.
Think Gojira are on it too from what I've heard
Same weekend as download I heard so possibly similar bill
No source, but this was shared on the Download forums (I'm Acid Lovestar over there, if anyone's familiar :laugh:)
FNM
Deftones
Gojira
Killing Joke
Jesus + Mary Chain
Skindred
Bowling For Soup
Pup
Helmet
Refused
Dead Label
Fangclub
That checks out.
My Irish guesses were correct :laugh:
CAn't hack two days of this but will go for FNM
Pretty sweet lineup as far as these things go it true.
Jaysus there was a time Therapy? Would've been a shoe in for these lineups, can't get arrested now. They were begging to be put on the Metallica bill last year.
Also we should probably get a petition going to have Superskin added to the bill.
Already got Download tickets, because I'm Kerrang trash, but will go for sure if it's on another weekend.

Posted on Boards.IE. Hardly fake, at this point, is it?
Punchestown me bollox. There's plenty of fields in Dublin.
https://www.sunstrokeireland.com/tickets
https://www.sunstrokeireland.com/line-up
That's that!
It reeks of Ozzfest: four or five groups I'd like to see, the rest I'd walk a long way to avoid. Definitely not worth the ballache of getting into, and out of, Punchestown, never mind the crazy money the tickets will, no doubt, be.
Surprisingly decent line-up for this type of thing. I'm not into Gojira or ATG but if I'd seen a dearth metal band on the bill 25 years ago my mind would have been blown.
Nice to see Senzar get the nod, too.
€140! :laugh:
Rather head to a festival in Europe with a lot more bands I want to see that would probably cost the same
I wonder how the crowd will play out. There's nothing like a System of a Down there that would grab a huge college crowd who wouldn't normally be too into the devils tunes.
Obviously acts are there that will draw a sizeable crowd ranging from older heads to metal die hards - and I don't want to sound naive to the hidden masses or anything - but it's a small island, and there's a definite ceiling on the amount of metalheads around for a lot of the stuff on that bill.
I can envision a scenario where people come along to check out Faith No More and a few others, and hang around the edged drinking for the rest of the day. Contrary to the usual outdoor metal festival thing where crowds generally will stay at the stages all day and bop about to whatever's on.
Metallica at Slane was a huge impetus to get this going, you'd imagine?
Has anyone let them know about Clanger Fest? They might have to reconsider having such stiff competition to contend with.
Im away on holiday for it,would definitely like to see FNM and Gojira live,not sure i would have been arsed.Been a long time since i did a big out door gig.
At the gates and bowling for soup - some mash up going on there!
Theres something for everyone,if the weather was good it would have the potential for a good day out,pity its not in a venue in Dublin.I presume its shuttle busses from Dublin city centre?
It says many more to be announced, reckon that's it for the hard hitters?

140 is a lot? I think its mad cheap for FNM, Deftones, Killing Joke, Jesus and Mary Chain, At The Gates and Helmet, ( And Gojira I suppose),Yeah it's annoying that its in Punchestown but you can't honestly say its more effort to get there than to go abroad to a different festival :laugh:
That's a class line-up to be fair, obviously there's a fair bit of scutter too but I would gladly hit this for both days were I not going on a stag those very same dates. Completely surprised that they would even attempt such an event in Ireland these days.

Not saying it's less effort to get to a festival abroad, but more worthwhile. €170 for a nights camping, plus whatever costs of transport and overpriced shit pints, or €250ish to head over for Brutal Assault
Great to see something like this back in Ireland, just a bit too rich for me
Are Deftones big enough to be a headline act? Are FNM? Not dissing either (massive fan of Deftones) but could there be another two headline acts to be announced?
Could Tool and Rage Against The Machine be doing festivals next summer?
At the gates saying on FB it will be a SOTS set.
Can't believe I never heard of this festival - was it ran for a few years?? Is it held in as much reverence as the original feiles??

I'm just happy we're actually getting something remotely resembling the festivals they get abroad, lol.
Surely holding it the same week as download isnt too good an idea though.

Why is it bizarre? I think the same thing of the Norwegian wave that Darkthrone were a part of. I'm not shying away from that at all. It doesn't mean I don't enjoy some of the music, aesthetics and atmospheres it produced.

Great gig!
I see DTA are on the Hellfest lineup, would almost clinch a ticket for me.
Considering faith no more have one good album (the real thing), and one highly acclaimed album,that is cool to like, (angel dust), which big Jim thinks is fuckin awful, how the hell are these guys still headlining?
For me The Real Thing and Angel Dust are great. I never got into Introduce Yourself and the later albums are patchy but have some incredible songs scattered across them. I'd certainly like to see them live at some stage but I doubt I'll make this for various reasons.

Because your opinion is clearly not shared by a large amount of people.
"Cool to like"? okaaaay....
Also Big Jim is in Infectious Grooves nowadays so his taste is clearly pretty questionable.

Saw them at Graspop last year - they were clashing with Iron Maiden. The latter were doing their rule Britannia shtick so I said fuck that and headed to Watain in a tent - never seen as much fire in my life and was nearly burnt to a crisp!
Hopefully there'll be day tickets released, would like to see FNM but no interest in any of the other bands on that bill.
What's the capacity? I think AC/DC did something like 70 or 80 thousand, can't see any of those acts being anywhere near big enough to draw those numbers, which bodes well for them releasing day tickets later.
Totally out of left field I know but Jawbox are doing a one off UK Exclusive thing in London a couple of days before this. Add them to the same day as Faith No More and I'd deffo grab a day ticket.
King for a day is a brilliant album but agree alot of their output is patchy.Looking forward to seeing them live though,they have the capacity to have a brilliant set.Hopefully the day by day breakdown is announced soon.

I'd guess the line up is split between older, more established heads like FNM, JAMC, Killing Joke, Helmet to pull an older crowd of people in their late 30s early 40s (ie the generation that would have gone to Dalymount and probably only go to these big gigs like Slane) and the addition of the likes of Neck Deep, Fang Club, Black Vile Brides etc is for the younger crowd so they have all their bases covered. I'd also imagine there's an element of hoping people will travel from abroad to see FNM to boost the numbers.
There's a tremendous amount of filler and "we're mates with yer man from MCD" shit lower down the bill, and they'd have been better with a smaller and more quality line up a la the original Sunstrokes I'd say but that's obviously just my opinion.
None of this, however, explains why Bowling For Soup and Skindred are on a bill in 2019.
This is just the replacement for Oxegen/Witnness using an established brand name, no? There are too many bands to be a one or two stage event, so it'll use the same layout on the racetrack as the old festivals, rather than the shed and car park. Too many non-Metal bands for it to be a Metal event, especially once you look just below headliner level. Expect some more indie/alternative stuff added to the lineup.
I think its to heavy for it to be a replacement for something Oxygen etc etc.
What did Ozzfest pull that time?,was there even 20k there?,could this pull 30/40k?,im not sure it could.
Ozzfest did about 20k
AC/DC did 70k
Given that people go fucking mental for gigs and festivals here I'd be confident it will do 20-25k. Don't think they'd need to fill it to be honest, FNM and Deftones are the only two that would have hefty fees. Half the Irish lot get paid with the right to talk shit and brag to their mates about being on the bill.

I'm not so sure about that. Unless you're talking about some hardcore spookfest in the depths of Norway, most major metal festivals would have a bit of variance that extends to stuff like Bowling For Soup.
Whatever about Faith No More - you'd have got away with them headlining Oxegen - but Deftones as another headliner and Gojira in a prominent sub slot?
This is a dyed in the wool rock/metal festival in my book. Not an Oxegen replacement. At least not yet.
Jaysus! Bowling for Pies!
Guy second from right would be the "fat cunt" in any other band, but looks slim in comparison
Jaysus, how does the limelight stage stay upright when they play there?
Last time I seen em on TV I thought there was only one fat c##t
I always knew they had one monster of a lad,the fella in the green,but the singer has been eating in between meals it would seem!.
They should start bowling for their soup to help shed a few lbs.
Fuckin hell .... the only thing heavy about them is the personnel.
Surprised to see a somewhat decent lineup and a more - rock and metal focused festival being billed in this country.
My first big outdoor concert experience was Sunstroke in '94, so am equally surprised to see the name resurrected after a quarter century - and Helmet on the bill again (probably the heaviest band that played that day)
I have a memory of the Helmet set and the crowd all kicking each other for some reason. So bizarre!
FNM would definitely draw me to this - and as it happens, there's a heck of a lot of other bands there to draw me also (Killing Joke, Helmet, At The Gates, Refused) May well pick up a ticket. The rest of the lineup for me is a grabbag... but sure, you always get something of everything at a fest.

Jesus and Mary Chain are great.

Day tickets eventually went on sale.
Roll on Faith No More on the Saturday night and no camping bollixology.
Yeah, just picked up a couple of Saturday tickets there. Finally see Faith No More plus a trip back home? No arguing here!
Edit: Although it is a mild pity that the supports I'd been interested in are all on the Sunday. But the babby dictates one day only.
Yeah... the day splits are pretty shite >:(
Has to be alot more added to account for 3 stages on both days and there is already alot of/mostly filler.Hoping against the odds a few acts of more quality will be added.
Are At The Gates gone off the bill now?

More bands being announced at 5 today, can't see anyone else that big being announced but hopefully another At The Gates type of band are added. Too much fluff on the bill.
Therapy? surely. They've been announced for Indiependence as well.
Am certian Therapy? have dates in Europe that weekend.
A shame.
Sepultura, Mastodon, Kerbdog are the standouts to me. Hoped there would be a Sepultura type band added, didn't think we'd actually get them!
surprisingly good additions,no harm,there was alot of filler on original announcemnet.
That's a tasty announcement. Definitely put to bed any Oxegen replacement notions. This is a metal fest.
Kinda bumming I'm at Download that weekend now. Whose line-up I love but it's been taken as uh...a bit of a quiet year.
Basically just want to have my cake and eat it.
The Distillers might be worth a look too
Fields of Nephelium & Mastadon. Savage. I thought it would be all filler but that's a nice announcement.
Hope you're taking the piss with those spellings.

Saw pics of my mate from a Cavalera conspiracy gig in Scotland last week. Good God, Max has piled the pounds on alright, looks terrible.
And I assume he's still not playing guitar too.
There is a video on YouTube that brings the audience into the Cavalera tourbus. If my children were given a few hundred euros to do the shopping this is exactly how they would have stocked it. Really unbelievable stuff.

Where did you hear 10,000 tickets?? That can't be right sure there was close to 80,000 at ac dc ten yrs ago....
Great to see this festival happening in Ireland....
10,000 wouldn't surprise me completely for a maiden voyage with this yoke, but between 15k and 20k I'd imagine? Body & Soul is what, 10-15k? And it always looks hopping. It depends how you fence the site. Festivals are easy to scale for profit if you're feeling tentative about the first outing/lineup.
FotN would probably be the biggest draw for me, though as mentioned above, not really a summery, middle of the day in a field band. Strange the gig is not listed on their website or FB page.

Finally getting to see FNM now in September only downsides are they are playing with Korn and it's an outdoor gig. Still very happy never thought I would get to see them. I had a ticket for the Olympia show back in 2009? then ended up having a repeat exam for college the next morning so had to sell it. Since then I have never had a chance to see them again.
How are they live since the reunion couldn't even bring myself to look at the gig thread for the 2009 show on the old foru after not being able to go. Haven't heard anything bad so I am assuming they are good.

How are sales for this, I might need to hold off on tickets for a couple of months. What are the chances there will be any left?
I'm surprised it's not sold, although I don't know the capacity. FNM are still great live, Patton will always bring it.
Another announcement of some description on Overdrive tomorrow morning.
RATM should be playing at this over Electric Picnic.

Great thanks. I met Mike in Dublin airport years ago. I was coming home from my 21st in Amsterdam he had played there the night before and was flying to Dublin the next day for a gig. I remember getting onto the plane walking by the first seat and thought to myself that can't be Mike Patton. I said it to one of the lads I was with and he said yes it's him. Then we went up to him in the baggage reclaim area, hung over and in bad way we mumbled through getting a picture with him and he couldn't understand the half of what I was saying. Very friendly guy.
I also remember the fella at passport control stopping him and asking loads of questions due to the amount of stamps he had in his passport.
Totally pointless announcement about a pre-show happening in a few weeks

Load of shite wasn't it? That Overdrive yoke is as bad as Joe.ie most of the time.
Ah man there was a free bar and food and loads and music, i'm raging I couldn't go haha.
Completely pointless aside but whatever...RTE Radio 1 were giving away tickets for this on whatever show precedes the News at One. Listeners had to phone or text as soon as they heard a Faith No More song. Just thought this was very odd as I wouldn't have thought the typical RTE listenership was overly familiar with FNM or interested in winning Sunstroke tickets. I briefly switched over anyway but came back a few mins later to hear the FNM version of Easy. Kinda gutted I didn't enter the competition as Easy slotted in fairly innocuously among the standard mid-morning fare, and probably went unnoticed. Dunno what I expected really, Be Aggressive or Jizzlobber followed by Lewis Capaldi's latest.

It's always gonna be 'Easy'. If they're really gonna push the boat out it'll be 'Epic'. Only hardcore cunts like Dermot & Dave will go with 'Jizzlober'.
Faith no More, the band of my youth. Angel Dust is probably the greatest album of all time. Don't listen to it now though but for at least 20 years it was a daily pleasure.
Seen them in Slane 92, Dublin 92, Prague on KFAL tour. Met them all as well.
Great band, would love to pop in to see them but not likely though.

Fixed that for ye, no probably about it!
Download cancelled yesterday.
Surely Sunstroke is done for now aswell.
Checked ticketmaster app and it's cancelled...no surprise. They haven't announced it yet.. might be hard getting refunds
No idea why they took so long when everything else around it has already gone. Reckon they'll roll the tickets over to next year?
Cancellation email received from Ticket master an hour ago
Refunds came back today, at least they're being processed quickly.
