    Actually there was some minor updates to the Witnness site lately ... mainly to announce that the Witnness gigs in Cork and Galway would not be taking place. Other than that the only thing they update is the release of the week.

    Anyway, the action is in Punchestown (unofficially) this year. Looks like we'll have to crank up the power so you can hear when your stuck in the traffic!!

    I hate hate hate Punchestown, I was there for Ozzfest, parked my car a field away up near the gates 'to get out quick' not realising that only five metallers own cars. The crowd area was all gravel so my feet hurt like anything. And it rained, but I doubt MCD were responsible, though I'm not ruling it out. But it was a great day anyway, but Fairyhouse is the best place for witnness in my opinion.

    Not least because I can be home from there and in my own bed in 20 minutes knowing I get a cooked breakfast the following morning.

    If anyone wants to buy me a ticket, I'll drive them to Punchestown and back to Dublin afterwards.

    Hey Tyrrial do you want to go do a lap of the shopping centre in protest??

    A festival? Sure what do ye want a festival for? Haven't ye got a shopping centre?


    Punchestown: it was wet and horrible there was no woodchips and the coffee was really, really bad and I'd forgotten to bring lids for my bottles of coke so they were getting watered down from all the rain and there wasn't really anywhere to sit.

    Ahhhhh fairyhouse......

    Last year was deadly when they brought in the fresh woodchips and we lay down on them and drank the fantastic lattes and it was still warm and the foo fighters were on and there was fireworks and everyone was happy and smiley and sunburnt (and possibly locked).

    the pure perfection of wittnness! if it wasn't for losing all my friends and my little brother, bumping into my Ex-girlfriend and almost being kicked out it would have been crap!

    we shall rally and they shall hear our call for fairhouse to return!
    i can only assume that karma kabbage will join us

    Strangely enough, I lost all my friends, my little sister, and bumped into two exes??

    Found her for the Foos though, which was good, it meant my parents were going to let me in when I got home.

    I don't think they're going to change it back to Fairyhouse, despite my incessant whinging and moaning, which is normally amazingly effective, but unless I can re-house a hundred or so racehorses in my back garden for two days, I don't think they'll listen to me.

    thats really weird.....
    i wonder how many people that could have happened to?


    so basicly the plan is to try and find a really big garden some were very near to fairlyhouse where we can dump a few houres........

    lets just hope that whinging and moaning tactic works

    what you need to do is to keep a homing beacon to the ones you wanna keep.

    as for the rallying...oh it's on.

    fight the power

    I was working (tchah! right!) for a portaloo company. The only reason there was heaps of woodchips was to cover vast amounts of horse doo-doo...

    Just thought i'd let you know:)

    I saw foo fighters from backstage too. It was brillo!

    Punchestown is in Kildare and Fairyhouse is in Meath - about the same distance from town

    see there are possible advantages to punchestown if you're coming from dublin (possible )

    but as a meath-ian i personal cast a negatory vote for punchestown....go fairyhouse go :D

    i really do hate having to say this...... espicialy in public but being from "meath" or "place of doom and gloom" i think fairhouse should be the home of witnness for a few more years to come

    (few years being untill i can get an apartment in dublin)
