Reports that people were found in the toilets whispering that the headliners were a bit 'underwhelming' and 'shite at best' may, or may not, have been made up as an excuse to editorialise. They probably were.

The event runs from August 4-5th, at Fairytale Racecourse, Co. Meath. Tickets for the weekend are IRE£79 with camping, or IRE£59 without, from whoever sells them.
