In fairness by the late 90's the manics, foo fighters and Rage were playing big stages and releasing top 10 albums in a time when that meant you were selling a lot of records.

I guess it would be possible to mix it up with the likes of what they have on the bill now with some higher standard legacy acts and some quality current stuff...I dunno, it's a long time since a festival line-up in Ireland has made me sit up and take notice.

Headliners would be paid more than other acts I guess and this thing looks like might loose money this year, so maybe he's cutting costs by having his own band headline. Just a thought because it does seem like a strange line-up announcement.

Also, The Stunning headlined the Saturday night last year too. So for me at least the released line up looks more like what I'd expect it to be.
