Launch in Dublin today on what would have been Rorys 64th Birthday.

Massive announcement of major headliner today, with guest speakers on the day to be a certain Mr.Devlin and Mr.Lockhart.....hmm.

Big top at the festival this year holding the headline acts replacing Dorrians Hotel who couldn't cope with the amount of people for Jan Akkerman last year. 2,500 to be held in the big top which should be class.

Main headliners announced yesterday, Horslips, Brian Robertson (Thin Lizzy, Motorhead), Mick Taylor and his band (Rolling Stones), and Dr.Feelgood. Serious lineup for a small festival like it. Delighted to hear. Only 50 euro for a ticket that covers all the headline gigs. Great value.

This looks like a great festival. Do you think the tkts will sell quickly as I would like to get one/two but have no ready cash at the moment?

I'd imagine those tickets will sell fast enough alright for a lineup like that. You never know though, a lot of people just bought their tickets at the door in years gone by. I've never had a problem getting a ticket, even for Jan Akkerman last year which I was sure would sell out.
