    Of course if someone wanted to confirm this they could just call up the Market Bar and try and book a table for Tuesday.
    and deny us a week of speculation and rumours?! :pac:

    just to follow up on this, B&S themselves have been advertising for volunteers since January, so I wouldn't be putting much hope in them preparing for it in case it does happen.

    That camping company someone mentioned ages ago is saying on Twitter that it is going ahead and that a date for tickets will be announced soon..

    Hope it's true!

    If tickets are going on sale there would have to be a line-up announcement!

    Doubt anyone would fork out €200 without knowing who's playing..

    I wish people would stop going on about it being the tenth anniversary event. It's not. That is next year.

    was the first not one in 2004?

    "The 2004 festival was a one-day event, which was headlined by Groove Armada. Other acts include Arrested Development, Jurassic5, Grand Master Flash, Super Furry Animals, Plump DJ's and David Kitt."

    yes, so this year will be the 10th "edition" of the festival.
    the 10th anniversary will be next year.
    the first anniversary would have been the 2nd EP, so the 10th anniversary will be the 11th EP.

    any chance that the Rolling Stones could feature?
    they havent played in ireland for a good few years, think slane about 7/8 yrs ago?
    see the glasto lineup for some more possibilities

    kenny rogers would deffo be worth checking out if over

    Would the smashing pumpkins be beyond the realms of possibility for ep?

    Id say EP is the better option unless they are willing to sub or lower at a Pheonix Park/Marlay gig

    SP are in Europe around June/July.
    the only other gigs they have after that are 2 in Japan at the start of August.

    would love to see them at EP, but can't see it happening if they're not already in the area.....
