Our man Stuart Clark came over all fanboy-ish a few moments ago when Mark and Steve from returning heroes Ride hit the Chatroom.
Their first (and only previous) Irish festival appearance at Féile 91, Alan McGee spiking their champers with pharmaceuticals, Japanese madness and mayhem, Primal Scream, Kevin Shields and Noel Gallagher all featured in a lively interview and Q+A which will be appearing soon on hotpress.com.
Security had to be called when a member of the crowd produced a bootleg Ride cassette (remember them?) from back in the day. In the end, we decided to let the chap off, and Mark autographed the aforementioned naughty tape.
There's been a little bit of confusion, so let us confirm that Ride are playing the Rankin's Wood Stage at 7.15pm. It's going to be a full hour-plus set, with all their '80s and '90s favourites present and correct.
It's really great to have them back!
