    Not overly impressed so far. If they're hiking ticket prices by €10 and have a higher number of students attending this year then you'd expect something different than a band that played last year and Irate Sound System, who I haven't heard of.
    All bands not announced yet of course, I hope to eat my words!

    By my calculations they'll be bringing in about €230,000 from ticket sales so hopefully they'll be able to afford some semi-decent bands..

    Meh, Button Factory regularly fills out, so they're obviously doing something right.

    Bright Eyes should be on the bill
    Florence on the Machine are mediocre enough to accept a request to play
    Kings of Leon will take any gig they get the washed up sell outs
    Tell Justice that it is the biggest Irish gig ever and they will play, the braindead fools
    Cheryl Cole will play if she gets to sleep with me that night
    Lie to the Saw Doctors (bogger buffoons) and Aslan (northside knackers) and don't tell them we are having the UCD ball this year
    Tell the Black Eyed Peas there are 8000 people ready to go on the Black Eyed P1ss

    They're both electro houseish dance acts, The Subs is a band while Mixhell is a brazillian dude (drummer from Sepultura) and his wife DJing. I've seen both before and I really enjoyed them.

    Good old Calvin Harris. I thought he might be the big name for the dance stage after he played here a couple of years ago and the Trinity Ball last year. Florence and the Machine for the Main Stage and I will eat my words and doff my hat to the organisers...save for Japanese Popstars and Jeddie.

    Yeah was at his DJ set in Spy for arthur guinness day, he played I'm not alone and You used to hold me and that was about it from his own songs, was a good DJ set so I'm not complainin but dunno if it'd be as good at an outdoor concert
