    Korn & SOAD are in Italy on the 12th and then Download on the 14th so its highly unlikely they will be added to the lineup.

    Delighted to someone having a go with this festival. Whilst rock music is so far from the mainstream nowadays, I have no doubt there is pent up appetite for this - I think there's way more interest in rock than the media would like to admit to.

    Some serious bands knocking around Europe that could easily be added. Probably a bit unfortunate that Green Day, Fall Out Boy, Weezer and 21 Pilots are here only a couple of weeks after, they'd complement the bill well.

    Still - high hopes for this - makes a wonderful change form the longtitude hippity hop type stuff that's been dominating the last while!

    I'd agree, this is the first festival line up in years (and Im talking at least 10 years) that in any way shape or form has me interested to go see it.

    Deftones especially... Gojira too!

    If they got the likes of Behemoth or Opeth on there it would be unmissable.

    Only mistake they made was not having it at Dalyer.

    Opeth only played here a few weeks ago and Behemoth played here this year as well, I do not think any other big acts will be added as it looks like Deftones and FNM are the headliners.

    can't see anyone that big being added, you'd imagine FnM and Deftones are the headliners on either night

    All depends on ticket sales, if it sells out or pretty close to it early on, they won't add any other bigger acts, if there's still plenty of tickets left around after Christmas you could see the likes of the offspring or that who are playing download on the Saturday added along with a few others playing opposite days at download, much like oxegen did with t in the park years ago.

    Went to both, 2 top nights. Prob best suited to a venue like there than a big field though perhaps.

    I saw them in a big field at Reading in 2000. And they were spectacular so it'll be fine.

    I wonder was the success of Metallica at slane the reason for this sudden resurgence

    It wouldn't have put them off that's for sure.

    I'm looking at that HF lineup and it's ridiculous. Even if they were to add a few more of the lower order acts from it like Suicidal Tendencies/Bodycount this could be really good.

    I'm delighted with Deftones and FNM and I live nearby so happy days! Saw Deftones in Vicar St. in 2017 and thought they were excellent.

    Tool and SOAD would be something though. We live in hope.

    Even some mid range bands like Opeth, Bodycount etc would be enough.

    There is a 24 hour bus that goes from Naas to the airport and stops at the Red Cow luas stop, its only €5 each way or €3 each way if you are a student.

    I was gonna go to Download in the UK next year which is the same weekend. But switching plans and going to this. I hope this sells out. We need a decent yearly rock festival in Ireland.

    I kinda hope they have some post music activities going on after the music etc, or it would be cool to have a few bands playing one of the stages on the Friday after people have arrived(similar to what Ramblin Man festival do, think they had the Darkness headline the friday)

    Apparently I'm going to some doom festival in Portugal in the summer so won't be going to this. Nice to see it happening though. A big Irish festival and there won't be a Walking on the coronas type **** in sight.

    You probably mean Boom! festival, its one of the best psytrance ones out there.
