Check out the Waterford band King Kong Company, I caught them at Life festival, a great sound, you will love them. I caught this clip of them doing Panic Button which I Initially thought was called Disco and is a loop from the Justice show.

I've been banging on about this band for a while now. These guys are unreal live.

I was there last year for a night, good campground, good drainage, the ground didn't get swamped even though it did rain a little.

Quieter than most given the size, but not quiet, I felt safe the entire time and there was nothing but fun.
(Except two psycho cousins who were arguing the whole night and couldn't keep a straight story on why they were arguing or who they even were...carlow women are weird :pac:)

Evening Campers... The site got a hair cut today and is looking well! We're also working on our final stage times and will announce them next week. We've added a few extra little bits with Choke Comedy, Ringo Bingo and a head to head between Today FM & Phantom FM in the Silent Disco, the final line-up across all stages as well as stage times will be announced next week!

Also folks, check out Tony Fenton and Paul McCloones shows on Today FM all this week to be in with a chance to win tickets including the ultimate festival experience on Tony's show!

Also the Corona's were the last headliner to be confirmed

from fb:

Folks, Camper Van Tickets are nearly sold out. They will be gone in the next couple of days so if you are planning on bringing a campervan, you need to purchase that ticket asap!!

Me and my friend just got our tickets . I would recommend that people buy their tickets on www.tickets.ie since TM charge €6.10 per ticket

Really looking forward to this... Never been but this line up suits me down to the ground. Never heard of British Sea Power before this, looked them up and can't wait!! King Kong Company, judging from that clip put up I reckon they're one to check out live alright!!

It might be Friday the 13th but in better news, this time 3 weeks, our campsite will be open!

Full Stage times next week folks. The camping tickets are selling way ahead of last year and they sold out on the weekend so a good chance they will be gone in advance this year. Don't delay!

Hi,
I can't believe there is no map on the website, can anyone send me a google streetview or google maps link, I will do up a map for the organisers if they like, once I know the location

When you are at the roundabout exiting Mitchelstown town at the firgrove hotel it is a few hundred metres down the old Dublin road on your left

my wife won 3 day camping tickets to the event earlier today. we would really like to go but as she will be 8 months pregnant we wont be going to the entire weekend but are more likely to leave the venue each night and return the following afternoon. is it easy to come and go like this? do you just present the tickets as you re-enter? i'm not too interested in the line up on one of the nights - is it possible to give someone else the ticket for that night?

you can come and go each day/night whenever you want. you'll get a wristband on the first day when you arrive that you keep for the weekend.
not sure if you'd be able to give it to someone else, you usually need to cut the wristbands off as they're on securely to stop people getting them to friends once they get inside themselves. you might be able to walk up to the gate and show the security person that you're giving your wristband to someone, or else maybe just email them and explain the situation and the organisers can let you know what the story is.

You can come and go as you please, but I would forget about coming one day and cutting off the wristband to give to someone else, unless you want them turfed out. Security is supposedly bulked up this year after other events *cough cough*

Some good acts there worth checking out like Town Criers, Soldiers Can't Dance, The Notas and especially the brilliant Radioactive Grandma.

Would Carried by Waves be worth checking out?

Furious-Red

Might try catch Champagne Animal if they dont clash with anyone

They're after tweaking that line-up slightly.

Basically (as far as I can tell), the only difference is that Kasper Rosa swap places with Carried by Waves.

I think they're definitely worth checking out.

They put out a free debut album last week which can be downloaded from:

I forgot I had a video clip of this guy Reid, an excellent electronic musician from Cork who plays a kind of ambient techno driven by bass backward loops which form the rhythm of his music. I caught a little bit of his set at the Upstage in the Body & Soul festival this year, he is playing the track Forrest here, I see he is playing in the Red Bull Bedroom quite early in Saturday afternoon so you should check him out.

Monday, I promise.

The weather kind of threw things in the air the past week. It meant moving stages etc, so everything but the times got priority. We'll definitely have it by Monday or Tuesday at the very latest.

Was onsite this morning. Anyone who's been to indiependence before knows ow good the ground is there but it's held up surprisingly well despite the rain. fingers crossed for this weather for the build as well.
