As per the People’s Republic of Cork forum, the following acts have been announced for Indiependence, which will once again hit Mitchelstown, Co. Cork on the August Bank Holiday weekend:
Jape, Reverend & The Makers, The Coronas, The Chapters, Delorentos, The Riptide Movement, Adebisi Shank, Codes, FRED, Fish Go Deep, Disconauts, Ghostcat, The Funeral Suits, Yes Cadets, O Emperor, Hoarsebox, The Vital Spark.
Organisers are still in “advanced negotiations with two international acts” for headliners.
The mud and accommodation issues experienced by last year’s otherwise excellent weekend will hopefully be sorted as the festival moves to a new 5,000 capacity site. The Main stage is a 3,500 enclosed permanent structure, while stages 2 and 3 are 800 capacity tents, and a smaller ‘village’ tent set up, with a 2 minute walk to the dedicated on site camping area.
