€99? Capacity 3000? Please no. The best thing about the weekend is when there are only 1000 or so people there but I suppose the organisers are pushing the boat out with the line-up this year. It’s an all-right line up…a mini HWCH kinda. It is good to see Adebisi, Cast of Cheers, Funeral Suits, Sarsparilla, SoSB there…it’ll be good fun for those who go.
