No need to apologies - we can not presume to all know everything about all festivals at once lol - Just happy to share some info i presumed you missed with you.
I do live in Ireland and I am! get my ticket every year when they go onsale, it's a brilliant festival, run by the folk that started Electric Picnic (which was a shameless rip off of Glasto, to the point that even Lost Vagueness were there in the early days!). Announcement this morning has definitely taken the sting out of losing out on Glasto tickets!
If Bright eyes plays anywear it needs to be on Woodises for the Irony - im sure he played the festival since these comments so is not black listed as far as im aware
