Last year: Faithless, Antony & The Johnsons, Comedy Circus featuring Jason Byrne, Adam Hills and PJ Gallagher, Cascada, Podge & Rodge Live, Duran Duran and Lionel Richie, Slayer, The Who, Bell X1, Status Quo, The Flaming Lips, Madness and Christy Moore

This year, so far

Maybe they're going for a different audience, or maybe some kick ass acts to be announced. So far I am completely unthrilled.

Nick Cave to play Dublin Castle in May 2008

Saturday, February 2nd, 2008

Nick Cave Oh FestivalShirts, how I have neglected you. Yes, it was snowing today, but the warm weather is just around the corner (who am I kidding) and the Festival season will be coming around before we know it.

Already, MCD have announced that as part of Heineken Green Energy Festival 2008 Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds will play Dublin Castle on May 3rd! Tickets go on sale tomorrow morning (Sat 2nd Feb 2008) at 9am. It's Saturday morning for crying out loud - and we're Nick Cave fans! Do you think we get up early on Saturday morning??? Bastards.
