    A full on Trip To Tipp as in what it was back in the 90's with a lot more current stuff and more acts in general. 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.
    Yes by the late nineties well after they'd played Tipp prior to then it was Tivoli level. There was an alternative culture to throughout the nineties pretty much everything was embraced to a degree, now its a bit of a members only club when it comes to the mainstream but luckily streaming has helped artists keep their head above water so they can sell tour tickets where the money is for them. Also in the 90s majority of mainstream,one hit wonders and what not rarely toured but now they could be fighting for space on the same bill as any other artist.

    Things have shifted so much now in the music business, with the industry being so much smaller now it's meant that quality guitar bands, left field stuff and general alternative music have been pushed so far away from the main stream by mediocrity that if they were to go current something like Picture This or The Coronas would headline it.
    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.
    This is exactly why I wouldn't have expected anything, Picture This and Coronas being described as guitar bands, christ on a bike! :pac:

    Strange times there, the 2 supposed headline acts, Sinead & sultans are just 1 hour time slots. Franks are only 45min, yet Wendy James gets 1hr. Thought Sinead would be on the next slot too.

    Christ. They’re gonna lose a ton of money on this. Safe to say there won’t be a feile next year.
    The acts would likely be cheap enough to get in, as I was saying its the type you would see at Leopardstown races. If they do it next year they will might find it difficult to get an early sales, as if I was to go next year I would certainly be holding out for half price tickets again -as would others.

    This is why I reckon it is rare enough to see discounted tickets from big promotors. You can see three customers get it for 3arena, otherwise it is rare enough and they just give them out free, like what happened with Taylor Swift.

    What's the story with the after parties this year? Didn't the local cheif superintendent go on a massive power trip last year and closed everything down early so he ensured he had "his town" cleared of any riff raff and late night trouble. The average age was 50 FFS! What a massive spanner

    Conspiracy theory time.....

    Did I read somewhere that Tom Dunne involved with the organisation of this? 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.

    I actually feel the opposite, I thought it was strange that Sultans of Ping, who for most people have only had one song they can name, was being touted as Top Billing on the early posters, and someone like Something Happens or The Stunning, who for most people have had a few hits, were in such small font on the posters. 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.

    I meant the line up was strange based on all of the advertising and marketing material released up until now. Festivals generally don't release ads showing their headliner in the least prominent position.

    Couldn't agree more, definite strange layout of the original posters etc. compared to the now confirmed order of appearance of the bands.

    Can be a crowd control measure where a smaller band plays last so not everyone leaves at once. Happens at almost every festival.

    Have a pair of tickets (weekend & camping) which I'd be happy to pass to anyone who's interested. Can arrange a pickup in and around Dublin if that helps.

    Get in touch by PM.

    That looks to me like Therapy? and Sultans of Ping are headlining and that's why I bought a half price ticket.

    In actual fact, they will be playing for 45 - 50 minutes each in the evening.

    Really looking forward to this now. Moving tickets seems to have been a real problem for the promoters but if it is anything like last year's event then it will make for a great two days.

    To answer the poor OP's question:

    The Greyhound Stadium is open for parking this year, just across the road - last year I think it cost us 10 or 20 euro to park the camper for the night. A little cheaper than that 150.

    Well.this doesn't bode well. 15 mins to go and the stadium is almost empty, with the stage tucked away in the far corner... Some more people outside at the food court/Dome Stage but at the moment at least it's a lot quieter than last year, with the stage in a worse location...

    Using about a third of it, one end of it basically, with the stage on one sideline. Despite the poor layout, there's a good atmosphere up near the front...

    Great day and great atmosphere. Good crowd too.
    Sinead O'Connor was amazing. Horslips fantastic.
