2013-I, three bands that sound fake and a band that shouldn't have been relevant for 20 years.

I was convinced that Ham SandwicH (as they are styled) were fake, there's definitely an Irish guitar band that were put together for purposes of appearing in ads, and I thought it was them - but no it was something else.
Thin Lizzy returning 30 years on to be 4th on the bill is absolutely bizarre.

not really surprising that Gorham/Downey plus some randoms wouldn't be top of the bill

Sure, I guess I mean more why bother, is it a testament to the might and majesty of Phil Lynott to appear three slots below Kings of Leon?

The Thrills were last seen doing a sponsored corporate gig at a Mercedes dealership somewhere in the leafy, well-heeled heart of south Dublin.
