Wow. Almost exactly the same line up as last year. I'm so "excited". *yawn

Peter N said...

hmmm Sarah, yeah there's lots of overlap alright [maybe 20 bands overlap from last yrs line-up] but I'm going to reserve judgement until I see what the headliners are!

Love the fun bands! Cujo Family, The Amazing Few, The Barley Mob... Hot Sprockets ... Hope the Headline is someone like The Flaming LIps...

Peter N said...

Thanks for the comment Anon, think there'll be a few big Irish acts confirmed early next week!

Funny how "they" wanted to change it up this year and i see alot of the same names pop up.

Peter N said...

Yeah I don't think there's been much change. The formula looks the exact same. The big headliners talked about end up being Duke Special and The Cast of Cheers! They will hardly bring a crowd! I don't think I'll bother going this year.

17 repeat acts in total out of 70. May seem like a lot but all quality acts. Plus another headliner to be announced. Small independent festival with cheap tickets can't be expected to produce headliners like those at festivals that charge hundreds.

Peter N said...

Well I wish you guys the best of luck but I know I can't afford the money for an average line-up which on paper is actually weaker than last year's list of Jack L, Kila, Tucan, Mick Flannary, Dave Geraghty, Fred, etc......
