For now, I can officially announce that Germany's finest, Booka Shade, will definitely be performing, according to their MySpace schedule anyway. I agree with you about price alright; the thought of cutting grass and cleaning windows to the tune of €240 over the next few days is causing me as much distress as the thought of missing out on the craic. :confused:

Well I bought my ticket, I think I must have seen a shiny advert before going to bed because I woke up with an insatisable hunger for a ticket, goddamn capitalism :)

ticket master have the tickets on sale now 240 for a normal one and the family one which is ment to be 480 ish ( 2 adults and up to 4 kids under 12 ) is also showing up as 240 if any one wants to chance it.

Im surre they will notice it and charge you the full whack but is there some law about price displayed has to be charged in this country ??



EDIT : ah just tried it it comes up as none available if you tick 1 ticket you have to buy 2 but the service charge on it is 1.25 instead of 6 something ( each ticket ) so its a tenner less still !!

I wonder is there any truth to that, that they think the knackers are into dance music and therefore hold out on announcing the dance acts until it is sold out.

Yeah I'd say there's probably something in it alright. The fact that Booka Shade are confirmed on their MySpace page but weren't announced would lend credence to the theory anyway. I don't see why else they'd hold back the line-up for the dance tent to be honest. The festival will sell out anyway (I'm sure they know that or they wouldn't charge so much) so why not announce dance acts who have confirmed themselves to be playing unless there's something sinister afoot? :)

Oh no doubt about it dance = scoabs

paul simon announced yesterday! thats a whole line up of guitar playing old men...

EDIT: wrong thread meant for marquee thread

heard yesterday that primal scream are supposedly added aswell. pretty happy with that:)
