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

What, the same Faithless who split up this month?;)

Faithless have not split its the Live Band production was too big to produce and bring on tour all the time is all Im sure Maxi Jazz will always be invlolved with Faithless with production scaled down is all , Still same tunes same voice .

erm, I wouldn't recommend a popularity contest style one anyway, it always ends up with a worse reception than it's worth..

Maybe do a question yoke, give a certain time when you'll post it in this thread, first to reply gets the tickets or something! :P

An open draw between everyone with more than a certain number of posts in this thread? Anyone with 5 or 10 posts here has surely been talking about it in the real world, therefore giving it publicity.

Mod Note

Mod hat on here but I have to point you in the direction of the Community Management Team (Dav / Darragh) on hello@boards.ie, Neill. Its the new policy (well its here a while now at this stage) in place for anybody representing a business or organisation. Since you want to run a competition on here, you will need to run it by them and sort yourself out with them.

FREE YAYOOOO!!!

Is he actually looking to run a competition on Boards though? I know that's what he said but like there'd be nothing stopping him collating a list of people who've posted in the thread, drawing names out of a hat and posting up here saying that Person X has won two tickets to the event, would there?

Ooh check me out 10 posts (and 11 now!) I think only people with 10 or more posts should be in a draw, starting from now

Not sure how it all works behind the scenes. Just that all reps need to contact the community teams, before posting generally.

Nice little line up now

old gregg

Personally, I believe that the festival would not be going ahead were it not for the people who have posted in this thread. We all deserve a ticket and a pat on the back

dayshah

I think a prize for earliest comparison to Wayne's World in this thread

yeah looks good! They should add in someone like The Coronas now to keep people happy who don't like rap. I'm definitely going now anyway.

How are tickets selling? Any idea on numbers sold?

Are you the next Super Star? If so, why not take a chance to try and win a support slot with 50 Cent,Flo Rida ,Shayne Ward , Wonderland and many more when they perform at the Waterford Music Fest July 30th ? This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to share the stage with some of the biggest superstars in the Music industry.

This amazing competition is brought to you by Music Events Ireland and is in association with Beat 102 103, it is open to singer songwriters as well as bands! All acts that enter must be able to perform 15 minutes of original material. Ten acts will be chosen by independent judges and will be put forward to the Final which will be held in Waterford In June with the date to be confirmed. How cool is that!Competition Details and how to enter will be posted over the weekend .

Some of the biggest superstars in the Music industry??? That's some imagination you've got there my friend! For example headline act, 50cent could not sell out either the Marque, Cork nor the 02 Dublin - Fact. Shayne Ward has recently been dumped by his record company, Wonderland are yet more puppets inflicted upon us by you know who - many people would struggle to name a member of Wonderland let alone a track by them! While the bould Louie has had megga-success with acts such as Boyzone, Westlife, Girlsaloud, I personally think his luck is running out and don't see Wonderland troubling the music industry for very long despite Louie adding them as support billing to almost every Westlife concert that is lined up - maybe I'm wrong - as stated above, that's just my personal opinion!

Don't get me wrong I hope for your sake and Waterford itself that your festival is successfull, but I , like theillest, I too think the line-up for a music festival is dreadful and lets be really honest here, some of the biggest superstars in the Music industry are as follows: Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, Bon Jovi, Rod Stewart, Beyonce, Eminem - most of whom would sell-out 40,000 capacity stadiums pronto. Yes, I know the above mentioned are 'well out of buget' but, the point I am making is that these acts are the biggest superstars in the music industry weather you or I like them or not. I am also aware you have to 'big it up' but once again acts such as Shayne Ward, Wonderland etc never were / never will be among the music industries elite.

Great to see that positivity and support of local initiative is alive and well:rolleyes:

I say fair play to the lads that had the balls to organise this - huge risk involved in current climate.

Why do people not get behind this venture instead of knocking it every chance they get. It mightn't be to everyones taste but they have tried to cater for most tastes.

If it brings in extra revenue over that weekend combined with the Spraoi it can only be good for the City and help promote its image further if all goes well.


So what if they make a killing on it.

Maybe those who are knocking this should come up and try and promote their own venture or give their ideas on how they think this festival can be improved - god know the lads are on here often enough and appear to be open to suggestions.

By the way I have absolutely no involvement with this festival and dont even know the lads involved.

Psychedelic

Yeah the "music" is pure garbage but sure that's what's popular and what the kids like so will help the promoters make money. This is good for the city so no matter. Hope the event goes really well, and hopefully in future years the festival will have proper music. To be honest though I would say they will just get just the most commercial chart acts going as that's where the money is to be made.

Why dont you set up your own festival and show us all how it's done??

There's such a stink of keyboard warrior of that I couldnt finish it. Some posts haven't a single clue about marketing or promoting something.

You'd swear you're expecting them to say "We have 50 Cent and Flo Rida, if you like em that is...well they're good...yno...please come to our gig..."
