Waterford Music Festival - 30 July 2011

Grindylow

So yeah, according to their Facebook group on here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Waterford-Music-Fest/113010615441882

Waterford's going to be having a music festival on the 30 July 2011, held in the RSC. Capacity is 25,000 so by the looks of it, it's going to be a massive gig!

On one of the statuses they commented saying that it's one of the worlds "biggest" recording artists, so hopefully it's going to be someone epic!

BTW I'm not associated with it or anything, just said I'd put it here to spread the word, it appears to be a nice boost for Waterford!

haha, i wouldn't go if they were payin me 50 cent to see them! pity though, they're advertising it as if it's gonna be a huge event with one of the biggest recording artists in the world, when in fact he hasn't done anything relevant in about 5 years.

Nah, it's not.. It's a crap act who won't manage to sell 10,000 tickets, nevermind 25000! :pac:

Well then who is it?

I hope it does well,but they are setting themselves up for a big fall.

Edit : With Beat involved it is going to be a pop act rather than rock,so 50 cent and the like is most probably who it will be,also i heard the promoter does stuff for Oxegen so i hope it go's well and we have it each year.

I dont know where they are getting 25,000 out of,afaik the RSC can only hold 15,000 due to fire restrictions ect.

25000, no hope, went to see a soccer match a while back there which was sold out and that was less than 10000

if beat are promoting it, bound to be a pop/r&b or dj gig, maybe there will be some rock at it,perhaps local acts there as well(someone like O Emperor, fighting spiders hopefully)

Bump...

The final act has just been announced - Faithless Sound System

AdMMM

Getting faithless is a massive coup.

They should really be promoting the fact this takes place the same weekend as Spraoi to really drum up some national interest!

Just a reminder it is Faithless Sound System,so just a stripped down version of Faithless.
