D.O.D (Day of darkness)

biglittlebill

Does anyone know if the D.O.D festival is back on this year? And is the big four tour coming to Ireland??

GhostInTheRuins

Nope, no more day of darkness as far as I know.

It was a great festival, didn't draw the crowds sizes it needed to survive so they're isnt gonna be one.

its a pity it died on its arse because it was a good thing to have, we have few festivals here for metal. the only time i see anything decent is at the bike rallies or occasionally in voodoo. was the winterfest in cork on or is the pub still flooded?

it's probably better crack to go to bigger festivals in places with better weather where you can put a tent up in peace. when i was down at D.O.D i came out of the piggery at one point and saw my tent floating across the car park ha...

Yep it was on and, like DOD, it won't be on again because the turn out wasn't good enough. It's a pity.

yep thats a good gig, I used to travel from dublin and stay in the ibis.
I even got used to the chinese at the corner . they do a good chow mein, still anything tastes good when theres a gut full of cider ha:)

The organisers were considering it but looks unlikely in 2010:
