    COLD PRO 2011 CANCELLED!

    Posted on May 24, 2011 by admin
    Cold Pro Festival 2011 – Official Press Release.
    This morning, due to factors outside of the organizers control, Cold
    Pro festival has been forced to postpone our collective celebration of surf,
    sounds and soul until a later date.
    Events that have transpired during the last 72 hours have made it
    impossible for the festival to go ahead as planned on the June bank
    holiday weekend.
    The ‘Powers that be’ have unfortunately and sadly decided that County
    Clare and indeed Ireland will have to wait much longer for a festival like this
    to be able to function as we envision it.
    All of us at Cold Pro festival have put our hearts and souls into
    creating an independent event run by the people for the people, and we
    would like to sincerely apologize to every person that has come on
    board or was as excited as us, and thank all that were aspiring to
    help out or come and party with us.
    We are aiming to come back stronger than ever to run the festival in
    2012, possibly in a different part of Ireland, but still with the same
    ideals and creative vision as the driving force behind it.
    All ticket holders will be refunded in full ASAP via ticketmaster.
    All the best
    Cold Pro

    Well, maybe next year, this year's festival has been rumoured to have been strangled by red tape.

    This was a shame alright. I'd a friend (SertOne) coming from the UK to DJ at it. The weather would have really made it something to remember.

    Cois Farraige seems to be going ahead again this year. I can't imagine why. When i was there in 2009(?) there were 100 people to every 1 bought tickets. The Hold Steady were playing to a massive tent with about 50 people in it. Local business must have made a killing but can't see how MCD made anything.
