And then you realize once you pay for flights, accomadation, spending money, cabs etc it's not so cheap?
i'd have accom, cabs and spending money issues anywhere outside cork too so flight is usually the only x-factor, which are cheap enough if booked in tons of time i.e. i've my flight for primavera 2027 booked already, so early in fact that the airline are paying ME!

It works out roughly the same Aphex if you plan it properly. Leave it until the last minute and you get fleeced. Nut let's not get off track. Yet.

Also for Cure heads maybe think about when they played Oxegen all those years ago. I was but a young sprout at the time but was pretty indulgent and not great at all. That said I wouldn't be hugely familiar with the Cure outside of their main tunes so might've been different for true fans. Of the opinion though that you shouldn't generally have to know a band too well for them to shine live.

Sigur Ros outdoors don't have the same impact. Hopefully they will be in a tent. If they are playing on the Sunday. Might get a one day ticket.
