Mod Note

Mock speculation is fine. Those listing out a load of acts as fact, naming and shaming people who are holding things up and so on isn't helping.

Please stop - its even in the forum charter. It does more damage then good.

Thanks!

everyone's saying how this is a good thing for waterford.. personally, i think it's a little embarrassing. :pac:

All they had to do was keep things under wraps until it was 100% confirmed, would have been ****ing unreal then. I'm sure they'll learn for next time.

In fairness, although they didn't mean it, it's good marketing - People have been speculating about who's gonna be playing for weeks now.
I just hope the lineup turns out to be good as everyone thinks it's going to be!


@Big Slick Poker - Please god don't announce that the rumours of One Direction and Jedward playing at this are true. A crowd full of screaming 13 year olds will be torture!!

the only ones talking about it ar on here. nobody in the real world even knows it exists

bit of an amatuer joke to be fair. they are saying they have experience in doing this stuff but so far im very unimpressed. they dont even seem like they know how to market. you cant hype a festival without acts unless its an established event

but im sure these kids know that

old gregg

so far the promoters have made some comical marketing errors and logic says that it will ultimately produce corresponding results

..... but, I'm guessing there's others involved in music around here who've been invited to take part in events that came together in as shambolic a manner and for some reason just clicked in the end and turned out great. I played the Life festival years ago when it was a fiasco right up until the crowds arrived.

I hope the same happens here for the organisers and wish them well regardless of who plays. It's only rock n' roll

Speak Now

Is Bryan Ferry playing at this or is the whole talls ships yoke a different event

Psychedelic

Bryan Ferry is playing at the Tall Ships Festival which is a major 3 day event taking place at the end of June.

Minstrel27

That's a shame.

At least The Munster Express give us credit when they get their stuff from boards...

This dead in the water??

CantGetNoSleep

Not looking very promising given that they were supposed to announce the acts 10 days ago

Icky Thump

what a suprise

blobbyblob

Testing one, one, two, testing, two two one, testing....

Nope - No sound yet!

Gardner

name and shame the promoters, is it a certain idiot who took over a certain venue in Tramore recently?

Gardner

**** venue anyway because you can see straight into the RSC from 2 sides of the road!

if these guys had brains they would be dangerous!

Gardner if you have a personal issue with someone rather than the event itself your best off to go somewhere else - the thread isn't about one person imparticular, nobody wants to be listening to that s***
On a side note - your quick to criticise other people but when was the last time you even attempted something like this? It may not be working out perfectly but at least there is a few people actually trying to do something different in the city.....

shouldn't we wait before someone actually does something before singing their praises..?
