I heard too that it's meant to be a mini festival thing and that they're working on cancelling lectures just for that day and trying to get loads of bands which to me sounds awesome. Plus if it is at the start of March, don't know how much enjoyment will be squeezed out of it from my end considering my thesis is due in on March 5

Yep, I've heard the same thing from a pretty reliable source. A mini festival-type event that is running for one day, but with quite a decent line-up in terms of bands.

There's a mystery tour being organised on the Tuesday.
Not sure if its an SU organised thing though, leaving at three pm and back after 3am. Could be good craic.
Tickets aren't on sale yet anyway.

I'm still holding out for 5ive. *Fingers crossed*

God, just remembered Xmas day, I may have drunkenly told Jeff Greene he was a crap ents officer and he let me down. Poor Jeff!

What's the charity this year?

Three members of 5ive played in Time nighclub in Naas about a month ago, so I'd say they have moved in with their extensive world tour by now.

Rozabeez

Hehehe, 5ive world tour...

Every now and then one or two of them play the Dandellion I think.

I'd rather a few Irish bands and acts like Fight Like Apes, Super Extra Bonus Party, Japanese Popstars or even a larger one or two like Damo Dempsey and comedians like David O' Doherty

I seen fight like apes in the su last year, free in and 3 euro drinks, and was still half empty! Great band though

The mystery tour is unofficial, and the charity is the Little Way Cancer Support Centre in Clane.

Word on the street is that the tents from Oxegen are being got in and Lily Allen is booked.

We're going to play the Freshers week game again aren't we? I CALL BRITTANY MURPHY as special guest!

From what I hear, it sounds like it's actually gonna be pretty good.

If that mini concert goes ahead you know how it will turn out. The SU will hype it up big time, everyone will get optimistic that maybe they will attract some big names. Then the eventual dissappointment when it turns out the main band are a 5ive tribute act.
But on the plus side most people should be so drunk that they do not care who turns up to play.

I presume everyone's seen the notice on the SU's facebook page, they're not letting much go yet though !!

Mini festival sounds pretty epic, esp since the whole college will just take the rest of Rag week anyway... i've got my money on the Saw doctors, make my year!!

I do hope that there is a mini festival thing going ahead. However, I can't see it being okay with the college. Like, if there's events on the pitch then there's gonna be the risk of people drinking on the pitches. Fngers crossed that this goes ahead and we can say goodbye to the days of cheesy pop acts and actually get somebody decent playing for even just one day!

Are there any realistic predictions? Like smallish but "buzz" bands that would be on tour around the same time as rag week... I'm trying to think of some now. Either way, rag week is always a bit of fun anyway!

Educate yourself by watching the first 10 seasons of the Simpsons at least 30 times each and come back to me and I won't mock you.

SU types say there's a launch for The Gathering when college starts back so that should be interesting

Rozabeez

WTF is The Gathering?
