THIRD HEADLINER CONFIRMED
Delighted to announce that after many months of chasing acts for Daytripper 2018, our 3rd Headliner was confirmed today. We are happy that we have a great mix of top quality international and national acts, with something for everyone over the last weekend of summer, Fri 24 to Sun 26 August. Full details to be announced on Fri 13 April.
DAYTRIPPER 2018 🕺ðŸ»ðŸŽ¸ðŸ’႒🎧ðŸºðŸ˜Ž

same weekend as the pope is in Ireland but I doubt it will have much effect on this. Be interesting to see who the acts are and hoping its not a certain UB40 (they are free on the 24th and 26th Aug) as they have had enough slots here the last few years

Id love someone like Manic Street Preachers

JohnC.

Maybe they've got the Pope playing.

Smell the glove

Shane Magowan and the popes......l'll get my coat.

Boooourns

Primal Scream??

Surprised they can still afford to get someone to update that Facebook page, they lost a fortune over the past few years,

Hearing the Saturday will be walking on cars and the coronas.
Sunday Aslan and the guy who told me was hinting at madness but not sure .
First night they were trying for underworld but don't think it came off

Underworld are playing the other festival so I'd say they were outbid and with the bigger crowd I'd imagine they would have preferred it anyway.

Wonder would relish be playing it at all?

Aslan are playing the theatre royal on the 28th July i think.

They have said that each days headline act have never played in the south east before.

Fair point. The guy who told me would be well connected to it and def said walking on cars. The coronas and Aslan. From what he described I took it as madness but can't be certain. It could well be those 3 Irish acts on the one night with walking on cars the headline for that night

Id say snow patrol could deffo be a headliner. Makes sense when they said they haven't played southeast yet, have been chart toppers and also they are going to be playing in cork and wexford aswell

There prob too big

That's only a small tour to promote the new album.

I'd be happy with them playing Daytripper tbh. Looking forward to seeing the lineup Friday

Told tonight the coronas pulled out . Apparently first 2 nights geared to older crowd and Sunday for younger

It's taking place the same weekend as the pope is in Ireland

We're all going to hell for going to a concert the day our holiness is in our country

Don't worry about it, it doesn't exist anyway

PTH2009

Prob pick this over the new festival in portlaw as it's much easier to get too and I'm not a fan of festivals

Still great for the county to get 2 music festivals

oh wait i take that back i just checked the website...... king kong company and jenny greene. i wont be purchasing!

Sunday line up is some craic. somewhere in between Rudimental and smash hits they have advertised a "very special guest" so my bet is Rick Whelan :D

Gardner

when you see tribute bands in your top 3 artists of the day you know this festival is ****ed

cbmonstra

Absolutely hyped for this lineup.

Just bought tickets for the Saturday only. Can't afford the whole weekend, (already going to ATN) but would love to be able to.

Went to the first couple of years of Daytripper, but not last year as I thought the lineup was a bit lack lustre.

This is amazing though. Fair play to the organisers. Will be great to see Waterford become a destination for concert goers. It was always a great town for live music back in the day, so hoping this is the start of good things for the Deise.

PTH2009

None of those acts are my cup of tea but there decent if ur into that kind of music

Be some scumbags at that

Yeah, some. Its not Coachella. Not a fraction of what now goes to EP. Id say you'll get a **** load of decent late 30's early 40's festival stalwarts.

Yeh better off calling it off and not organizing anything ever again because of those pesky scumbags.

Sister sledge....that's brilliant.as always, daytripper is a great night out even if none of the acts are the oft quoted on here 'my type of music'.haven't missed a year yet so delighted they came up with an act anyone (maybe a bit older) into music can have a great night out, few beers, listen to some decent music, etc.

Pity MC Pat Flynn isn't headlining. I think he's a wonderful musician. Gifted. His music fills me with such intense emotion. Such endearing tunes that remind me of past rendezvous with girls such as "Get on ur knee" a song which encourages all the young people to fall to their knees in prayer at veneration of our Lord.
