Dream Irish Musical Festival to replace Oxegen?

O'Doodle

With Oxegen looking like it's not gonna happen in 2012 what would be your dream Irish Musical Festival to replace Oxegen 2012?

Where would it be held/location?
What would the lineup be?
How many stages?
Capacity?
Camping only or mixture of day trippers and camping?
Price?
Date?

Maybe if MCD are reading this board they might take on board some of this.

Location: Fairyhouse Racecourse
Lineup: A mix of kiddie-dance/skanger-dance (Deadmau5, Skrillex, Pendulum, Chase and Status, Steve Aoki, Swedish House Mafia etc.), pop-rock (The Killers, The Script, Maroon 5, etc.), pop/r'n'b (Bruno Mars, Professor Green, Lady Gaga, FloRida, etc.).
Stages: 3
Capacity: 40,000
Mix of camping and day trippers, 30,000 camping tickets, 10,000 day tickets for each day.
Price: as low as possible. realistically probably about €170 for camping, 75 for a day ticket.
Date: last weekend of August/first weekend of September - music on Sat and Sun, camping open Friday night.

that would be my ideal replacement anyway, i wouldn't have any reason to go and it's something for the pop fans and skangers to go to if they don't have oxegen.

Do you honestly believe this?
I'm partial to Skrillex, Aoki, SHM, C&S and even a little Deadmau5 which, admittedly, do have an unfortunately large knack-following, but Pendulum are quite different to them.

they make dumbed-down DnB/dubstep/'dance' with a mainstream twist and seem to be primarily liked by a mixture of celtic-jersey-madouvits, and "omg i luv d lasers lol" teenage girls. in the DnB scene (seeing as their music is associated with DnB more than any other genre), they're seen as a complete joke. just watched a few videos on youtube to see if they're still relatively the same, and one performance they cover Calvin Harris mid-song, which says it all.
so yes.

Well my guess there would be that you will get 5,000 as the other 35,000 will be at the Electric Picnic at that time.

Edit: Ah, now I get you, your a Picnic head, so there would be no scumbags at the Picnic as they would all be at Fairyhouse, that would make sense.
