Witnness

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 that 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 'Green Energy'. Paul Weller might make an appearance too making it a hat-trick of Witnness's for the grey haired god like one who doesn't sound as good as he used too.

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