It's just a little annoying that UCD can get alot of big names from all around Europe (Digitalism, Boys Noize), and we are stuck with some, albeit famous enough, Irish bands and typical skanger dance dj's.

I agree but there are many reasons for this, mostly being that Cork city and UCC lack a suitable venue with enough capacity, you may think the savoy is suitable but it actually has a capacity of less than 1000, Dublin on the other hand have their choice of huge venues so this isnt an issue for them. The other difference in funding, UCD have a massive entertainments budget compared to UCC, so they can afford to attract bigger acts, and also big acts are far more likely to play dublin than cork. That said we're trying our best and over the year will hopefully have a few big names down to cork to rival UCD and the like.
