    Who remembers Rockathon? It was a short lived music festival which took place at Fairyhouse, usually towards the end of the summer. It was mainly dedicated to tribute acts, but some up and coming artists were also featured. If memory serves me, there were three festivals between 2014 and 2016, then it seemed to just disappear. I think that Radio Nova may have been involved with it in some way, as Pat Courtenay was the MC each year (but he could have been doing the job independently of Nova). Does anyone know what happened? They didn't seem to attract large crowds, but they have never come out and openly said that the festival is no more. They still have an active Facebook page, but ignore all questions relating to the festival's suspected demise.
