    so it is coming back this summer who do you think should be the headliners

    Since Duran Duran are doing the Killarney music and food festival they should also headline Daytripper.

    Ocean Colour Scene, Manic Street Preachers, Horslips or even Slash

    Its a good festival hope it doesnt clash with a Waterford Gaa match or something like that

    Don't worry, waterford aren't good at hurling anymore so nobody will be attending the games this year.

    agreed it was fantastic. I really hoped the council would have buit that car park in gasworks place and have it capable of being covered. Alas, bord gais seemeed to have backed out on contributing money they said they would.

    If Ed Sheeran sells out Croker, I'm sure the obvious choice would be to have him play in Bolton street! :P

    Last year's festival was launched on this day last year. It must be getting close to an announcement.

    On Facebook, they are looking to get something out before St Patrick's Day. Said they've signed their second international act a few days ago. Bray's Groove Fest was joined to it the last few years, so I'd say both will be announced at the same time.

    Paul Weller would make sense, appeals to older crowd and has a new album out.

    I'm presuming if acts are announced on Monday 23rd, tickets will be on sale that week/ weekend.
    Weller (if he is a headliner) would be a sell out
    easily.. Still a Strong Mod following in Waterford.

    If Paul Weller is to play this year, it would have to be on the Friday night as he down to play a gig in Rome on the 5th July.

    Def Weller isnt one of the acts by all accounts. Strong source

    When I'm with you, I'm broken now"

    While neither confirming nor denying :D (but that being said the hold up is about getting the artist to Waterford for the weekend so the artist may not be there when its confirmed) it is a disappointing line up to be fair. The other two bands are just as unimpressive. One has a new album coming out in June and have played in Limerick recently (Just finished a tour of Ireland in fact) while the other will appeal to an older crowd and fans of a specific type of music (this is the band I think that the issues are concerning).

    I think if I gave away much more then my source could dry up.

    I'm sure that Daytrippers will sell but I get the impression the funding has been pulled back due to not getting the payback from it. Shame really.



    Maybe it would be better if a festival was made that just had one BIG name every year and the rest would be just specific cover bands (knights of Leon, Stone roses experience, Alvin purple experience, etc.) and local up and coming bands. The local up and coming acts could be played live on Beat and it would give the band exposure while also 'free' content for the station.

    Waterfords Big Picnic could be on the August bank holiday weekend every year and instead of bringing in Kaiser Chiefs, David Gray and Paloma Faith, we could just get one big band in the ilk of the Frames, Paul Simon & Sting, Bruce or even a lower tier like Villagers, Stereophonics, Coronas etc.
