    Ah very unlikely the band's I'm into will ever play here, I'm lucky that some even consider to play in the country at all. Best of luck to the lads running daytripper though

    Not many people big into ub40, ocean colour scene, madness, whatever..but they go along to support the festival and its a great night out.if we waiting for our favourite bands, they'd be no one at it.

    Ah I'm very picky what I go to these days, not just for financial reasons, but I chose to do other things with my time and energy. You do make a good point though, it seems like this festival is still reasonably well supported, which is great, but I don't think it's for me. I won't write it off just yet though, but it's just not for me right now

    I saw something like that also, but haven't they played day tripper in the past?

    Isn't there 2 ub40s and this is the other one (not the one that played in 2015)or did they all get back together ??

    Edit it's same version that played in 2015 (UB40 reunited)

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/UB40 (that is the UB40 of today)

    It will sell no doubt, sold well the last time these guys played

    Don't think they announced the dates for the bluegrass yet but it's normally that weekend in August

    Seems like Daytripper could only be the one day dis year. Not sure how it's going to sell as UB40 only played here in 2015 and I think they played in Dublin last year too

    I remember In 2015 The Darkness played the day after UB40 and the singer looked so uninterested and was just going through the motions maybe they were told it's a car park

    Christy Moore was offered the chance to headline one of the nights in 2013 but refused as he didn't want to play a car park in Waterford

    How you know Christy Moore gave that reason, he's played Waterford numerous times, he might like the intimacy of smaller rooms but if the money was right I'd guess anyone would play day tripper.wouldn't be a fan of Christy or trad so my fingers are crossed for something a bit more upbeat.

    Uninterested is the last way to describe that performance. He/They put on some show.

    yeah it was a good show but from what i remember Justin Hawkins didnt interact with the crowd much. Grew up listening to the darkness and was amazing to see them on our own footsteps

    The years before i enjoyed the Kasier Chiefs (walking on cars supported them) and Madness. Didnt go last year but heard it was good

    Its a grand little festival for our city and the organisers are trying there best to get acts here as we dont attract many big names here

    I think Primal Scream would be a big draw and would be great if they do play in Waterford...

    I was walking along the 'waterside' around lunch time today and noticed a large crane on the site placing what I assume are the sections for the new bridge.....so looks feasible that the gasworks will be capable of being the venue for this years 'day tripper'

    Primal Scream would be amazing, and would more than make up for the disappointment I felt when I heard UB40 were a headliner.

    were not sure if this years daytripper will be only the 1 day thing or 2/3 days

    Primal Scream have no dates after there Groove Festival slot on the 19th Aug

    The following is an interesting view on some UB40 fans http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=80126720&postcount=632

    Oh great UB40 again. How will all the 50+ year old semi-literate dole lifers who are into them afford the tickets?
