Daytripper Festival 2018

PTH2009

from Daytripper Facebook

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•ºðŸ»ðŸŽ¸ðŸ’႒ðŸŽ§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

I dread to sound like a fuddy duddy... But I'm out on the Dunmore Road near Oscars, and that sound is LOUD.
And not in a good way. Keeping this house awake.

I'm not against festivals or craic or anything, but I've never heard decibel levels like that from something in town.

In contradiction to that, I hope the festival is a success!

I'm sure they're keeping the levels within legal limits, it could be the positioning of the pa and wind direction causing your issues. That would drive me mad though

Was very good last night, sister sledge had place dancing, all the hits, and Heather small amazing voice too, got the place going. Well organised as usual, no bar ticket system this year, didn't matter, little to no waiting at bars.

Was there a good crowd at it?

Yeah, decent, hard to make call on numbers. A bit more mature so there was zero problems as far as I saw. Just a very good night out even if I'm not normally going around listening to likes of sister sledge or Heather small.I'd go as far as saying, my best daytripper and been to one night every year it's been on.

Great night last night. Wouldn't have gone out of my way to see Sister Sledge ordinarily, but I really enjoyed seeing them - they were top class.

I’m useless at estimating! Not huge, but not embarrassing either.

Decent enough numbers, you seem to know a bit, are the organisers happy with the numbers?

Well I'm friends with someone involved. They got roughly what they expected both nights so far. If they get near to 6to7K tonight it will have been very successful for them

Great to hear, hopefully they get 7000 or more tonight.

I passed through town earlier and younger crowd would be an understatement,7000 going to see Rudimental :eek:

Hope it went well and it's returns next year with hopefully a few indie/rock acts

didnt go this year as line up was poor enough. getting cover bands to cover the undercard was pretty cheap. hopefully next year they might get the finger out and get someone decent

jimbojazz

Was it just the Rudimental DJ set or was it the other group members that were playing, the posters showed the 4 members, but the videos I've seen from last night just showed a DJ and an MC, none of them looked like the lads in the poster?

Advertising the saturday night headliners as Basement Jaxx and then later changing to Basement Jaxx (DJ set) was pretty low imo. Massive difference to a Basement Jaxx live show and DJ set.

Didn't go....There's a surprise

Very sneaky of the organisers having dj sets instead of live shows

PTH2009

with djs it could of been anyone on the stage using the mix board

Id like to see maybe more funds going in for this and we could get someone like Richard Ashcroft, Liam Gallagher, Tears for fears and the likes

But posted a photo of the full band line-up on the flyer, bit misleading tbh.

Looked a small crowd Friday night but I heard it was a good night there. I was at Saturday night, really enjoyable evening, king Kong company were excellent as expected. I kind if felt at it that there would be more people there but glad to hear it was about 5k, hard to judge how big a crowd is sometimes.

I'm not surprised to hear that Sunday night was the busiest night, young crowd but certainly a large attendance. Hopefully the organisers viewed it as successful and it continues next year.
