Recon aswell Kiwanuka probably out as too big for two in a row, The rest probably fair game -  Recon English Teacher will be back again this year for a crack on a bigger stage, aswell as Fat Dog and id be a surpirsed if they did not get Wet Leg back for another crack.    If i lived in Ireland id be going to that festival

If you stay at any of the Hive sites you have access to the party tent which is good fun for dancing, drinking and socialising from the Wednesday night. With Hive "normal" they open up squares of land at a time - you get loads of folks waiting for the rope to drop - it's a free-for-all to lob your stuff down and bag space as quickly as possible. With Hive Myspace you can be together - they start at a one tent size plot (2m x 4m) and go up in increments to cater for pretty large groups. Benefits of Myspace are you're guaranteed a place together, you can get to your tent easily and the showers are free where they're 1.5 coin (I think) in "normal" (and the queue's not as long!)

Yeah definitely not - it was their 2022 slot pre drop out and they clearly haven't got bigger   heard rumblings they are doing other stuff which may rule them out anyway.

I'm not sure about that... for 2019 (after the 2018 fallow year) they made changes to the priority criteria.   If the same change is made then doing 2 festivals this year (2024) and 1 next year (2025) would mean you'd have priority status for 2026.    We'll have to wait and see.    Below from Oxfam re 2019:        

Played too recently, was a bit of a disaster last time too i think.   ---   Bicep Live can be ruled out too - one for 2027 i guess
