    Either that, or they still have to announce this new festival and they just got ahead of themselves including in the last presser.

    It seems that nobody actually asked Melvin Benn or the PR - or if they did, Benn and/or the PR asked the usual publications not to include it in print/online!

    I saw that there's a launch party tonight with Jerry fish, perhaps it announces later?

    Excellent entertainment, lads. This thread should be a new area in Stradbally. I'd go.

    seems to have been dozens of people from tv/radio/newspapers down there today and f-uck all of them have actually found out anything that EP didn't put on their website. they would have been better staying in the office (LOL, joke, we all know they're basically there for some free food and a bit of networking)


    most "journalism" these days is just glorified regurgitating of press releases anyway, often with articles pre-written and given directly to different outlets with a few words changed here and there and published as if they wrote it themselves

    eg:

    https://www.rte.ie/news/business/2018/1119/1011931-capital-docks-development/
    The city campus development spans 4.8 acres and features over 690,000 square feet of new mixed-use space, including offices, retail and multi-family units.

    The Kennedy Wilson development also features more than 1.5 acres of public park space.

    About 1,300 construction workers were based onsite during the building of the project, with the development expected to support hundreds of permanent jobs when fully complete.

    Over 200,000 tons of concrete, 15,000 tons of steel and 7,500 panes of glass were used during construction of the project.

    US bank JP Morgan and jobs website Indeed have already committed to occupy all of the available office space, and are preparing their new offices for occupancy in 2019.

    "We are so proud of what the team has accomplished here in Dublin at Capital Dock with what's been our largest scale development to date, and to deliver high-quality residences within such a vibrant market," commented William McMorrow, chairman and CEO of Kennedy Wilson.

    "When we began conceptualising Capital Dock years ago, we envisioned creating a new heart for the Docklands that brought people together in modern work spaces and beautiful outdoor areas, while raising the bar for residential rentals," he said.

    "To see the area come to life and our vision come to fruition is incredibly satisfying and reinforces the exciting future of the Docklands and the greater Dublin market," Mr McMorrow added.

    I'm hugely confused Ted.

    So this guy is a journalist but he came away from this press conference not knowing whether it was about a new area at EP or a whole new festival?

    As did all of the other journalists as far as I know. I’m sure if you were there you would have cut straight to through the bull and got the correct answers. It’s a pity that this thread, which is for the sharing of garnered information has become a whingefest for frustrated keyboard warriors trying to pick apart people’s contributions. I was just trying to help, in future I will keep the news where it belongs.

    Haha, I cant help it I’m very thin skinned. That’s why I don’t do Twitter.
    The speaker doesn’t look great tbh, did get a €20 voucher for just eat too so all is not lost.

    That doesn’t make sense at all (re what Melvin said to you) - the initial release specifically mentions a new festival in a new location. There’s sugar coating and exaggerating, which is a given in PR, and then there’s a lie.

    Sounds like something is delaying the announcement?

    Bit odd either way.

    Having looked back at the original press release I agree. I would say Russborough is the location too. It looks like everything was put into place for an announcement and it got pulled at the last minute. Just my opinion though.

    The sign looks super family friendly.

    It's being sold as a family festival. If someone could take a photo to upload? I didn't get a chance as my bus was too fast.

    I think this is more like a competitior to Groove festival which isn't on this year. That kinda vibe
