    Hey I was just wondering if you lot could give me a hand?


    I'm going to Oxegen this year and hopefully Electric Picnic, but I want to branch out a bit into more localised festivals. I've only heard of one so far, I think it's called "Leechrom", but I can't seem to find any info on it on the net, so maybe I have it spelt wrong. :confused:



    Thanks in advance!


    Ronan

    There's Castlepalooza in Tullamore Co. Offaly. Charleville Castle there is a great spot. Not sure of this years lineup, but I think Hotpress had a story on it there in the last 2 weeks.

    Seconding Castlepalooza. It has a good collection of small Irish indie bands though I dont know what they were thinking with Sister Sledge as a headliner. While it seems quite expensive for the calibre of the lineup the atmosphere and setup is excellent and its a great couple of days.
