I was at this last year. Good buzz. But I would advise turning up early in the afternoon .. there was a giant queue to get in at 5 o'Clock or so ...

Which is ironic...seeing as though people are usually queueing to leave Africa..

Had to queue for an hour to get in.

Saw one band, then had to head off.

What was the point in stamping people's hands when they went in, if they had to re-queue to get back in, if they left for whatever reason?

I arrived at about 2 and saw the queue and couldn't bear it so went to Stephen's Green and then saw Four Lions instead.

Yeah, their new album is great - i think it's the first release from Sub Pop's new world music imprint.
