Those of you who dont like the chilis... why do you care if they're coming to Ireland this year? Nobody's forcing you to go and see them

Well, because "the Kildare festival" sold out in record time last year almost purely on the Chillis being on the bill, it meant that, seeing as all tickets were sold, MCD didnt need to make an effort to bering any decent artists. Therefore, the Chillis visit had an imapct on epople with decent taste. When I think of the times I had in Punchestown seeing Faithless, Felix Da Housecat, Darren Emerson and the legendary set from the Wu Tang Clan(all in 2004) and Snoop Dogg, the Kaisers and several others tear it down in 05, and then the cabbages and their sheep fans in 2006 its sad tbh.

Actually, the Chillis have cost me money. When I bought my ticket I thought theyd change the line up a bit, but it remained ****e, so I decided to sell my ticket. I thought it would be like previous years ticket prices, people offering 500 for a ticket. In the end it proved so hard to shift to such a bollix line up i sold it for 20 less than i bought it for in order to get rid of it in time (this was a day before it started)
