tjinoh Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Has anyone seen any set info for the Forbidden Fruit Fest in Dublin? Hoping to see a start time around 6pm or later... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DickDarlington Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 for Wilco or the festival in general? For Wilco i'd say 9 or a little earlier, the curfew is 11 and last yr they kept to it. Since it's a bank holiday there's no reason they wouldn't start early, just depends how many more bands they add. They might pad it out with some irish bands. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tjinoh Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 Cool, thanks. We're starting our honeymoon in Dublin, arriving early morning June 4th. Trying to fill the first day with a Newgrange tour, wanted to make sure we would be back in time to rest and then head to the fest for WIlco's set. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chinese Apple Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I contacted Forbidden Fruit and they said set times will be announced two weeks before the show. Check their website around May 20? (null) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DickDarlington Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Stage times announced! Wilco 9.30 to 10.45 - kinda short! I'd def recommend anybody heading along to go in time to catch Field Music - great band! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chinese Apple Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 That IS a super short set. I'm so sad. I bet it will rain, too. I don't think I can get from Mazzy Star to Wilco in time to get a good spot. But at least I will get to see Beirut. http://www.goldenplec.com/forbidden-fruit-2012-stage-times-released/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jay1966 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 an hour and fifteen mins ? a wee bit short methinks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DickDarlington Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 a few years ago at Electric Picnic they just had an hour - so an hour and fifteen is an improvement! Plus I think the festival is getting choked by their 10.45 curfew which they didn't go over last year. It should also be pointed out - since somebody mentioned getting from 1 stage to another - that this place is tiny so there's about 30secs to get from stage to stage.

Chinese Apple Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 It's not a long set, but I guess I am ultimately grateful that Wilco squeezed an Irish show into their schedule this year. They are coming to Dublin between two Iberian Peninsula shows (Spain on May 31 and Portugal on June 8). When I think about the logistics that sort of detour would require, with all of their equipment and personnel, I am thankful that they've included Dublin on their itinerary at all.

Chinese Apple Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Wonder if any of them are going to guest at the Andrew Bird set earlier in the day... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chinese Apple Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Wilco will go on just as the sun goes down (at 21:47), and there will be some sun and light rain (expect rainbows) throughout the day. There's rain expected most of the weekend, so It's going to be muddy in that well trampled field! http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2964574/extended?day=4 I guess I'm glad it will be a short set so I don't have to be standing out in the mud and rain too long.
