    thought about it, but with all the music indoors, and having seen Daphni and Chandler before, 40quid is too much for me. if i had known the full lineup when the early-birds were onsale i probably would have got one then tbh.

    don't really care about seeing Harvey. from what I've heard, his fee is one of the reasons for the high ticket prices. can't imagine the vast majority who attend will have even heard of him tbh.

    What exactly is the Tivoli grounds? Is it the back and carpark of the Tivoli or what?

    All music indoors is a bit weird for a day time thing in the summer too. I am looking for something to do for the bh weekend but not convinced of this really.

    yeah, that's it.
    apparently there was way too much red-tape involved for having an outdoor music event in that area...

    How is this pretentious? It's the people who are involved in all the other festivals who are organising it.

    Is it confirmed that the whole event is indoors? I couldn't see anything on the website. 40 quid does seem a bit steep alright. Aside from Castlepolooza is there any other decent events/gigs going on over the weekend?

    it's not the whole event, just the music. the food and other stalls will be outside in the car park part.
    Indiependence festival is on too, think it might be sold out though.
    there's an overnight warehouse thing on Sunday night: https://www.facebook.com/events/924636930886988/
    LTJ Bukem and Florian Kupfer in the Twisted Pepper too.

    Less of the abuse. Please report the posts and don't reply. Users have been dealt with so let's move on.

    Anyone going i'd be interested in hearing how the days goes afterwards.

    I had a great time, bar queue was ridiculous though but pretty much as you would expect

    Like lost art I had a great time at it.Real nice crowd at it.Harvey was great craic upstairs.The one downer was the bar situation.Bars running out of cans upstairs and the mess that was the downstairs bar.Bar situation could have been so much better and would have lead to a better gig.
