That's one amazing line up, there asking for suggestions over at Body Tonic as well. Worth throwing a couple of artists in.

Why is it in Laois and where is this so called Laois? Might head to it though.

Klimseven

I'd go just to see Cut Chemist

Superman

Stradbally is nice place, was there before, we were going to buy a house there.
You think we could do a bit of in-promptu camping in laois without the po-lice gettin up on our game.

echomadman

looks like a savage line up, i'll be buying meh ticket next week hopefully.

Pity its only a one day event, you know that two acts you really want to see will be clashing

Dredz

Kold

Grrr I can't find anyone to come with.
