Dunno about that, I fell asleep while they were on

Well then you wouldn't know, lay off the beer if you can't hack it.

Yeah, that's fair enough, Dave spent too much time strumming in the middle of tunes and talking to the crowd.

Agreed, they turned four minute tracks into 25 minute crap. The version of One x One was dreadful, hthey ruined it by stopping just before the great guiter rockin' bit in the middle - a shame, one of my favourite bands the Foos are

NEW ORDER have been at the forefront for almost 2 and a half decades of pop, rock, punk and electronic music and were recipients of the Godlike Genius gong at this years NME Awards. On accepting their award, NEW ORDER, played a 4 song set featuring Crystal (dedicated to The Killers), new single Krafty, Love Will Tear Us Apart and Blue Monday. NEW ORDER, formerly Joy Division , are music pioneers and have released a series of anthems including Blue Monday, Truth Faith, Ceremony, that have been embraced as lasting classics in both the dance and rock circles.

Are they in some kind of order Neish?

I reckon James Brown would make a good headliner.
Anyway, this years real festival is in the capital of culture.
Brian Wilson, Nick Cave,Dianna Ross, Paddy Casey, Van Morrison, Al Greene,
Tommy Tiernan, Christy Moore and you don't even need a tent.

Bit surprised about Foos headlining, they must have a new album due this year? Their last album was a bit disappointing... glad to see Green Day headlining, but what the hell are the Beautiful South doing there?

but what the hell are the Beautiful South doing there?

So you can get 45 minutes nap in between bands....

Well considering I was paying this much anyway, saving 15euro does'nt make much of a difference. We're not all afraid to spend money like some people . Where did you get your's anyway?

[Neish]

Where did you get your's anyway?

Got it before Xmas on special offer(same prize as last year). €15 that an extra 3 pints ther for that or a burger a chip

[James]

€15,,,, or a burger a chip

yeah ketchup was extra last year wasnt it

[Lionel Ritchie]

147 bucks for a two day event. Seriously the only way that's ever going to change is if we stop going along with it like a bunch of lemmings.

The last festival I went to in this country was Feile 91 -which for it's many, many, many faults was a three day event and my 3 day camping included ticket cost 42 punts. there is no way you put the difference between 42 punts (53 euros approx) and 147 euros down to inflationary pressures. At the time a pint cost about 2 quid (2.54 Euros) -so that's less than doubled in price whereas the cost of this type of event has tripled.

Had the good fortune to actually play at a festival once (Phoenix Festival -Stratford Upon Avon) and I'm telling ye folks ...learn to play something and get on a bill -it's the only way to do festivals. Never mind 7 quid for burgers made from recycled newspapers -try proper dinners with mash, two veg, breast of chicken with gravy or pork chops with apple sauce for £1.50. Pint bottles of cold NBA £1.50, free showers, toilets that don't look like jack the rippers just done someone in. ah happy days.

I'm really looking forward to NewOrder (actually now its 'NEWorder') coming back to Ireland. Ive heard most of their new album (to be released end of march) & its pretty damn good (the single 'Krafty' is one of the poorer tracks!).

They will be well worth the ticket cost by themselves - expect an honest gig littered with mistakes (mainly Barney, the singer), p1sstaking, and a LOAD of excellent songs!

[Neish]

Ment to say earlier if your going get your camping tickets a.s.a.p as its rummored there are only a few hundred left

[SligoRoversfan]
