finally.........it's almost here - yay roll on saturday!! anyone else going?

Yeah, wouldn't miss it for the world.

Can't wait for it, been whipping myself up into a small frenzy. I was a bit pissed to read a preview (in the Irish Times) where they basically said Basement Jaxx (main act) are carrying the torch for the decrepit dance music scene, but the 'emasculated' Underworld are reminders of how bad it's gotten.

You know you're a fan when you get all hot under the collar on the groups behalf...

You've got the Chemical Brothers the day before too - nice weekend lineup you've got there.

man.... those irish times fools are away with the fairies, it was probably some trainee music hack with half a brain that wrote the preview - basement jaxx are decent enough in their own way, but i'd hardly regard them as a true reflection of 'dance music'.

porn dog - did you see set times etc. listed anywhere?

[porn dog]

The Chems - great that they're playing, but I saw them last paddys day which covered a lot of new material, so I won't be going to that.

No, no sign of set times yet, so far as I can see. I was about to post that given the poxy state of gig times in this country, we'd get a short set from UW, with Jaxx getting the lions share, but this site (http://entertainment.ie/events/details.asp?ID=2273919) says it all kicks off at 2.30pm, so it could be a full 2hour romp, starting earlier in the evening...

Yea, cant wait for saturday it's going to be legend!!

I saw the lads at the Exit festival in serbia last month and I just hope they will play as good a set.

It's absolutely ridiculous that UW are only supporting the Basement Jaxx considering they are about 100 times better. Mylo should be good too.

I think underworld work especiallly well in the dark so i'm kinda hoping that they will be late enough in coming on.

The next few weeks in our fair emerald isle are like a dream come true for any elctro lover with the chems and UW friday and saturday then electric picnic next month.

i know - tis craporama, the only positive thing is that if uw are on first you can catch half an hour of bjaxx and then head off b4 the crowds and be back in town for pintage early enough that's my plan anyway! hope the weather is ok - woke up to torrential rain this morning, although saturday is supposed to be good. fingers x'd.
