    Will 50 cent still be top billing given how faithless will draw in twice the crowd?

    Well I think the lads got lucky there to be honest. Faithless, as they were in their original form, would probably have refused to be under the bill to 50 Cent...but as they are now I think they won't mind too much. And the recognisable faces of Faithless are still there so I don't think people will know the difference.

    You have to admit, they've put together a grand day's entertainment. Great for the city...and if it goes well, who knows what they'll bring next year.

    Should be a good one. Hopefully the ticket sales will rocket now. I've bumped the thread in the Music forum. Best of luck with it!

    By the way, the hype jibe was about the postponed announcements, not the quality of the acts ;)

    Fair play to the organisers. I know I was fairly sceptical, but I'll be happy to munch on my humble pie whilst listening to Faithless.

    Waterford will be a fairly good place to be this summer. Thank God we've doubled our disco capacity too to deal with all the visitors.

    Amazing to think that this is on in Waterford to be honest. I hope it is a success... "in the club, bottle full of bud..."

    That's a mad lineup, it's all over the place haha. Pop bands with Hip hop and then dance...in fairness you'll get all genres of people there, for the Faithless crowd most of it will be ear aids.

    Fair play though, hopefully it should sell out now. Alot of people will pay it just to see the faithless soundsystem.

    Did you that Dido's brother Rollo (real names) was in Faithless. They are also niece and nephew of Dessie O'Malley.

    With names like that I bet they wish Dessie christened them!
