Performance! (and probably cocktails, too)

Stereophonics are being tipped to headline this year's Slane Festival, which is taking place on August 24th.

Talking recently to Hot Press, Kelly Jones revealed that it was an ambition of his to play at the castle.

Also mooted for the bill are Garbage who according to a well-placed source will "definitely be doing an outdoor gig here this summer."

Shirley Manson said in a recent UK press interview that they were going to be at Witnness, but that no longer appears to be case. Given their determination to play Ireland, that only leaves Lord Henry's gaff.

Needless to say, we'll keep you posted.
