I was going to ask this (I apologise if I'm wrong) but were you one of the ones obsessed with one direction over on the x factor thread last year? I did actually hear a rumor that they could be playing but that was ages ago.

yep, you're right, i was :P Clearly haven't gotten over the obsession either after seeing them at the XF tour... Love them
Ah, I'd love if they came in july (their album is out the month before the fest so ya never know *hint hint to organisers* :P ).

But seriously, no pressure neil, hope things go well with it. I'm not even from waterford!!

That was a great thread, only reason to watch the x factor. I got caught up with the Wagner love in big time

Although much to late in the day Neil an idea for next year would maybe have a ( public vote through beat maybe) competition for unknown local bands to get a small set. There are surely loads in the area that would try out.

We are trying to show support to local acts also guys and are in talks about this , But this totally depends on stage times and what we have left. We will look at this in the coming weeks if it is possible .

Hi Guys ,

Slight delay is all with regards announcing the act no major problems should all be sorted soon. We also will be announcing more acts as the weeks go by. Sorry there was a time put on facebook as this was not intended . As you can see by previous posts i have been constant in saying it will be announced soon . We are looking at all genres at the minute and hope we can add acts to suit all over the comin weeks .

Neill K

LOL! Another delay announcing acts?!

Is this some sort of publicity stunt?

It was always more acts announced soon . The bill is strong as is for the price of the ticket and we just want to give added bonus for all that will support this event .

If you say so, but no thats not what I was doing and he knows that. Its called humour.

But, saying that, nobody is free from it if things cockup and BigSlick has always held his hands up for the problems with saying a lineup will be announced, cancelling that announcement, and the cycle repeats a few times before its actually made. Its why there was so much agro in this thread in the first place.

People are knocking the event as a whole, which I don't agree with.

There's no point really in putting Waterford acts on such as those MC Dubh or local bands, etc, because they'll just be taking away stage time from the acts people actually want to see.. Would probably discourage ticket sales rather than encourage them..

Elbows22

Actually really looking forward to this now - getting the ticket and all tomorrow
To be honest you cant get better than that for €55
Jodi Albert better be careful around the rsc lol

Here's my wishlist for next year's festival:

Faithless
DJ Tiesto
Paul Van Dyk
Armin Van Buuren
David Guetta
John O'Callaghan
Gareth Emery
Deadmaus
Swedish House Mafia
etc...

With Creamfields no longer held here (I think), and with Loveparade abolished after the tragedy in Germany last year, there's a great opportunity to hold a dance festival and attract crowds from all over Europe.

I'd definitely be there

Oh sweet jesus no,

Any further talk of a dance festival will result in a ban :pac:

kensutz

Foo Fighters
Kasabian
Stereophonics
Manic Street Preachers
Feeder
O Emperor
Kids In Glass Houses
The Blizzards

I'll have that for next year

I'd tend to swing pretty evenly between Metal and Techno when it comes to attending events. But most of the festivals I'd play would be chill/ambient/psy events.
Have to agree it's hard to beat the Foos for a festival atmosphere, Dreadzone are great for festivals, I'd go Radiohead anywhere though.

That would be fantastic and I think you're right, there is a gap in the market there!!! But I have some bad news.... Faithless have split up Boo hoo... so getting them next year would be really really miraculous!

Any more nonsense from the two of you will incur the wrath of the dance gods...or in other words, the Techno Viking:

That's exactly why he was mentioned, at the end of the day he'd draw a huge crowd, probably for the wrong reasons though......

I imagine they'll be there anyway given the proximity to the Yellow House

A big shout out ***********, who just picked up the 250th ticket from Suirdzign for only 50 cent, Tickets are going fast folks, get them now from ticketmaster.ie or our local outlets.

Kinda funny but is it not a contradiction to say the 250th ticket has been sold from Suirdzign to follow it with "Tickets are selling fast"

[ducks]

Mooley22

i think they meant the 250th sold instore which wouldnt include ticketmaster sales

blobbyblob

Of course - Way to de-construct...
