jes thats mad!

i'd nearly make the trip over to global this year. even do i should be concentrating on trying to get a gig for myself also! time to get the finger out i'd say!

I can confirm that RTE are unlikely to cover the event as they cannot guarantee the safety of the crew required. Most of the people needed for a broadcast fear for their personal safety.

Creamfields wont happen in a million years.

But what i taught about Cream Fields were coming? that there wasnt gunna be another PL or at least for this year?

[jasonmcareedj]

yeah i really dont know what to expect because of hearing so many different story's. i think ill just sit back and wait this one out and see what the outcome is.

i assume RTE wont be there anyway?

The odds are stacked against them.. the last one was a chaotic mudbath, and i can confirm that most of the service providers that were there in 2008 don't want to repeat the experience if they can help it..

It's bollocks to blame the weather for the mess - there are ways to prepare for bad weather, and despite being told by ME during the week leading up to it, they did NOTHING to combat the mud & rain.

At the 'afters' meetings, where all the involved parties met up to go over the whole thing there were heated exchanges, and fingers pointing re: crappy planning and bad organisation.

I would think if it DOES happen, it will be on the scale of the Wintersession 08, with a capacity of 4999 as this would avoid having to get a 'real' event licence, which given the mudbath last time, and the current run of Tivoli disasters, would seem the only way to get past the issue of the place turning into a stabfest.

So planet love have released a "BEBo Comment" on their bebo site about 2 hours ago saying PLSS is confirmed for Fairyhouse 6th of June.

THE QUESTION IS : Will it happen?
