Witnness 02 - better than last year anyway

Brautigan · 03-04-2002 3:34pm #1

For those of you too lazy to find out elsewhere on the 'net just who is playing Witnness this year, here's a handy cut out an keep guide.

It's basically the exact same line-up as T In The Park in Scotland which runs the same weekend. Those money grabbing b astards in MCD are promoting it too. Expect a few 'token' Irish bands to be announced at the last minute, so no change from previous Witnness's there then. The Frames and Damien Rice are allegedly appearing as are half the acts who play MCD's other big cash making bonanza that is Green Energy.

It's a rather fine line up all the same so hats off to Darragh Purcell, Dennis Desmond and their pals in la la land.

sounds like another money spinner for mcd alright...... loads of money spinning b list pop stars and yet more depressing "up and coming" indie acts .how about something decent for a change,something thats worth spending half a weeks wage on

Mercury Rev are deadly. i saw them when they played down in cork. david kitt will probably play again this year - he was class last year. is the band A the ones who wrote 'nothing'. thats a class song.
