    For free too!

    Dancing in a car park for free, won't be an option in years to come if these events aren't supported properly.

    The tickets aren't that expensive compared to other festivals around the country, if you were to pay in to a venue in Dublin to see Leftfield alone, with one, MAYBE 2 support acts you'd be paying well over 60euro, plus travel expenses, these gigs are on our door step people....support them if you like the acts!

    Enjoy the gigs folks. Can't make any myself. Support this and keep music in Waterford alive

    Be careful of the potential scumbags that may be around the area

    Some racket. Thought one of my neighbours was having a house party. Wouldn't mind but I live about 5 miles from the rsc. Not a hope of getting the baby to sleep. Fuming,

    I'm half a mile away. There's nothing really in the path to disperse the sound so it's very loud. I'm not complaining. At least there's an event in the town. I just pity those who need to work in the morning! I don't think the next two night will be as loud though. There's just a lot of bass tonight that could keep some people up. I actually felt the music before I heard it earlier today, since I was wearing headphones.

    Thought the venue looked very well, preferred it to Bolton street but obviously a small trek out of town so can't just nip up to the nearest pub for a fast one or two during sets
    Hopefully a better turnout tomorrow night

    About 800 max I reckon, I was there from 6pm and up till about 7:30 I'd say there was 150 tops. I left there shortly after 9:30pm and at that's stage anyone that was going were in there by then.

    With the way it's set up out there, I'd hazard a guess at between 1500 and 2000, apparently there's over 1000 ticked sold for tomorrow night so if weather is decent then they'll get a few more paying on the gate also. Ticket sales for Sunday are similar to that of tomorrow night also.

    Went tonight, incredible show. Sound and light show was amazing. It's a really good set up out there. Everything is laid out well and no problems with queuing for bar or toilets. No good at estimating crowds but I would think 8-900 which is good but poor for the quality of what was on offer. Leftfield tonight was one of the best lives shows I've seen.

    I'm out the Dunmore road about 4km away and could hear the thud thud thud till 11.30 bloody annoying especially since it could be heard even with all the windows shut :mad:

    It was an amazing night. King Kong Company were outstanding, fantastic to see such talent in a Waterford band. They could play at any international festival and be up there with the best of them. Leftfield were brilliant. Lights, sound, atmosphere, all fantastic. No queue for loo or drinks. Best value I've come across for a gig like this. Well done to the organisers!
