Very good for the area hopefully. Personally not a fan of any of the acts announced so far but hopefully it does well

Better dan naw-thin!;)

What with The Big Top, Daytripper & All Together Now - local music fans have plenty of options going forward. Yes they all cater for different types, ages & music but it's far better than a big fat "zero"!

On top of this throw in Spraoi, Waterford Walls, Harvest Festival, Summer in the City, Imagine Arts, Dunmore Bluegrass, Winterval but to name a few.

Loads of Beaches, Mountains and the Greenway.

And Waterford was recently named Ireland Foodie Destination of the year!

Saying that you still won't be able to please everyone....:D

Yeh there's never anything on!!!!!

The tent rental company left down the promoters a day before

So the orginal plan was a tent double the size that housed all the bars and there was to be more food options outside.

Was great to get it done year one and hopefully move on with it.

Yeah you'd wonder what possessed them to choose the most popular lager in the country.

Funny one, thought the same, its not my first choice but its fine isnt it. They had local gin crowd selling cocktails too, Blackwater gin I think.

One of the best music nights out last nIght, Happy Mondays and kingkong company were brilliant. Great set up with tent, very little queuing at bar, some nice food to be had too.

3 different varieties of chips?

Yep, cheesy something, chorizo something and some other covering. I’m sure they were lovely but I thought perhaps something a little more from Revolution.

By the way, the Mondays would be lost without Rowetta. Just saying.

Gillman1998

So here’s my take on Big Top (Happy Mondays night):

Positives:
Great space to sit at tables
Toilets good, not as many as for Madness but okay
Tent was a great gig space
Overall vibe was very relaxed and enjoyable

Negatives:
The bar - Heineken seriously? Terrible choice of beer
Food - Flash selling 3 different varieties of chips or a very excellent burger from Bodega. Overall poor food choices.

That’s it really, very unhappy with the bar setup but overall a great venture and hopefully bigger and better next year.

Anyone know what alcohol they are selling down there and how much they are pricing the drinks?

There's a Heineken tent selling pints of Heineken and Cider. Pints are €5.50. They have bottles of Heineken 00 (€4.50), Coors Light, plus the common shorts like vodka, Jim Beam, etc.. Blackwater gin also.

the food court at this sounds interesting with some great options from top class places (Loko, La Boheme, Revs)

The throwback event that was to be on the Sunday has been cancelled for some reason and there is no act for the Tuesday night

Seen as they were emailing out 15% discount codes to everyone a couple of weeks ago and giving away loads of free tickets my guess is they didn’t get the numbers and had to pull the plug

Chuffed with The Happy Monday's. Going to be great, hopefully the week will be well supported.

I feel the same way about Nathan Carter but you don't see me calling for him to be banned :rolleyes:

The purple rinse brigade will be out protesting....after mass of course.
