    Have not heard anything about acts but I think it is very encouraging that this is coming back again this year.

    Lets hope some decent acts are announced and that people come out to support it...

    Pixies are in Cork on the Monday. Kings of Leon (unlikely as it may be) I think are on that week too.

    say it will be all irish acts. Saw Doctors, Sharon Shannon and the likes

    Would love to see the Specials or Bryan Adams (it will save me a trip to cork)

    Pixies would really be a great act to get, think it is a long shout though but you never know...

    Your life is safe for now anyway.

    Pixies are playing Marquee in Cork and then supporting Arcade Fire in Marley Park, both of which aren't sold out yet.

    Put it this way, if they were added you could probably have them play in the Theatre Royal there'd be that little interest from outside Waterford... and even in Waterford I'd say a lot of people would go to see the Jam Tarts cover Pixie songs instead of the Pixies themselves!

    Looking forward to the announcement though :)

    Strongly rumoured that it's Michael Buble as part of his 'intimate' tour he is doing. Should be good!

    Very good. They're sharing the acts with the groove festival in Bray (apart from Kaiser Chiefs by the looks of it)

    They're no fools. The support on Sunday will be a bigger draw than the main Id say

    Three great acts in my opinion. I don't know if Paloma Faith will sell out though...
    It'll all depend on who will be supporting her.

    Paloma Faith is the best thing on the bill.

    Tickets are considerably cheaper than the same shows in bray. 49 quid in bray and 37.50 in Waterford. Anyone who dates criticise them this year will be eligible for a slap.

    Kaiser Chiefs would not mind seeing them myself for there older stuff

    But €37.50 is a rip off for them at this stage as they have not even had a had a hit CD in years and or had a single that charted. Unless the support is good i wont be going.

    If it was €25 euros i think it would be more fair for the kind of acts they are as being honest if they where playing in Dublin any of the acts you would not pay for then €25 euros to go see them.

    I even have the felling that the Kaiser Chiefs will have a bad turn out as really what young people know them these days expect for Ricky on The Voice UK ?

    But still would love to see them brings me back to being 14 years old again LoL

    You do realise that it's a full day of music, and not just a doors open at 8, everyone out by 11 job?

    It's absolutely spectacular value. The going rate for any kind of band in Dublin is €25 and that's usually with fairly tame support.

    I forgot about Kodaline in Marlay park. I'm Surprised they aren't involved.

    I'd actually like the Friday night and I'm ashamed to say I quite like some of David Grays stuff.

    I don't mean this in a smart ass way but I honestly haven't heard of paloma faith.

    All in all it's a good line up and in my opinion an improvement on last year. Fair play to them.

    Like last year a few of the bands who supported the corranas where bands I could see for free any night in Waterford. Also at lest in dublin it's Dublin not waterford so there is somewhere good to go after.

    I think it's over priced for what it is as I had to leave the place to get food last year.
