Shambolic Metal Festivals

[ochoill]

So no festival then? Fuck.

Who took bets on it being cancelled the same day it was announced?

[Carnage]

We should all (time on the day permitting) have an imaginary forum festival on the day (I submit the title Rosmuckfest for consideration) and just get hammered to a playlist of live vids.

I don't get why this dude doesn't put on a one day fest in Leitrim town. Get one decent headliner and a heap of local bands and build up from there. He seems intent on setting up Wacken in the shticks using the Wayne's World method.

At least he's using the tried and trusted Catholic method this year and pulling out good and early.

[Bürggermeister]

Such folly feels silly until Phil duly fulfils Philfest fully.

Desertedfest.

On the one hand, it all clearly seems ludicrous. On the other hand, we never had any public liability or whatnot for illegal raves organized in the middle of nowhere back in the day. No waivers either. Maybe he should just organize an illegal rave, but with crappy metal bands instead of crappy techno djs 

[Yung Led Zeppelin]

Fucking yeeeesssssss

[Carnage]

The key phrase there is "back in the day", before the entitlement/litigation culture took off. If eomeone slipped in the muck and twisted an ankle, there'd be a claim now, waiver or no.

There's the solution right there, stop trying to organise the next Donnington and try concentrate on having a good time
