This should probably be in the off topic section, but might be of interest to a few heads as Kerbdog and Therapy? are both playing on the Saturday. Therapy will be performing Troublegum.

Jaysus, that's actually a cracking lineup for Saturday.

Yup am definitely going on the Saturday it's completely stacked - Therapy?, Kerbdog, Peter Hook, Manic Street Preachers, Stranglers.

I was at it last year too but had to leave early, much better line up this year.

Manics, Reef and Kula Shaker all played the Trip to Tipp back in 97. Hard to believe that was 28 years ago...even harder to believe Kula fucking Shaker were billed above Foo Fighters!

It's just down the road from me. I'll definitely head to it.

Never been before but thats a decent Saturday alright, do they sell day tickets? Although I wouldn't mind seeing Bad Manners too

I'll admit it, Kula Shaker were a guilty pleasure band for me I wouldn't mind seeing them.

 I think Saturday tickets are 100 euro.

I was only there in the afternoon and early evening. It was definitely midlands, middle aged lads having the drunken craic vibe, dancing around to various tribute bands. Hardy Bucks sort of vibe.
