Yeah they should like put a roof or something on it right. Damn incompetence of the organizers for allowing it to rain. Heck, what were they thinking running an outdoor festival in Ireland in the first place, assholes.

With Oxegen making a come back the same weekend how do people feel it will affect Indie? On the plus side might be able to get a few of the acts that will be playing Oxegen.

Can't see it having much an effect on it myself. Festival should try getting somebody like Little Green Cars this year somewhere. Up and coming. Were Delorentos any good last year? Loved their new album. It would be amazing if Indie managed to get Foals this year. Please do it!

They are playing in the States the same weekend. We're huge Foals fans and we've tried to get them every year since we first heard Cassius! We had them do a DJ set last year with the release of the Tapes album but that was because we couldn't get the full band together. The year before we missed out on them because one of their brothers was getting married on the same weekend or something. It will happen eventually I'm sure!


New album out in a fortnight, have heard a few songs from it. Can't wait!

As for Oxegen, we've known about it with some time. We welcome it. We got into this game years ago to hopefully give music lovers something we didn't have when growing up - CHOICE!

We've grown it each year and kept the cost model the same so hopefully when the line up arrives people will recognise the quality in there and the hard work we've put in to putting it together without raising prices over the last few years. Best of luck to MCD and Oxegen, again it's more choice for punters.

As for the weather and security, well we've dealt with both these complaints a number of times but no harm in discussing them again. We were the first festival to open its doors after the Swedish House Mafia gig so we had to enforce things a little stricter than we normally would. If someone has a complaint about a particular security individual, please bring it to us by all means but if the complaint is about 'the security' I'm afraid there's very little we can work on with that.

The weather was unavoidable. It was a wet summer, and we had planned for a wet festival. What we hadn't planned for, and what the weather forecasters themselves couldn't plan for, was an 36 hour downpour where it bucketed down. We did our absolute best considering the circumstances. You have to remember that these small boutique festivals don't have the financial clout to spend €30k on short notice to strengthen the site in those conditions, €99 for a full weekend camping puts paid to that.

If anyone has any queries/suggestions/complaints they can mail info@curvemusicmanagement.ie

ThankYou

Ah great , if the line up is anything last year i shall be attending Even with Oxegen the same weekend and only 15 mins away i will still rather drive the 2 hour or so drive to cork instead:D

The quote I made about the weather was in jest but not the one about the unfriendly security. There should have been a separate express line for people going in without gear. As for the weather I would be more inclined to wait and see and buy tickets at the last minute. Was on a stag weekend so had no choice but to stick it out, in spite of all the problems we had a good one eventually. Good luck this year hope the issues get ironed out.

If there was this Scottish band called The Twilight Sad on your line-up I would actually pay you 1000 Euro in person. I don't have 1000 but I'd sell my pet dog and make my GF go on the game.

That will probably come in a few days once everything is finalised.
