INDIEPENDENCE Music & Arts Festival Gets Camping Green Light
Its been a while coming to fruition but the INDIEPENDENCE Music & Arts Festival has finally been given the green light for an official festival campsite at O'Connell Park, Mitchelstown. This means that festival goers heading along to see headliners Ocean Colour Scene and The Super Furry Animals along with top Irish acts, The Blizzards, Mundy, Fight Like Apes, The Frank & Walters, Director, Delorentos, Fish Go Deep, Wallis Bird, The Chapters and over 50 more top acts and DJ's will now be able to stay on site for the weekend and enjoy the full festival experience!
But here's the best bit, festival organisers in these recessionary times have decided not to charge any extra for the campsite! Anybody with a €59 weekend ticket purchased from ticketmaster even where these tickets state "weekend non-camping" will be given access to the campsite. The site is adjacent to the festival arena and car parking facilities are less than 5 minutes walk away.
The Festival which is sponsored by Bavaria, offers three stages with 10 hours of music on site each day. On top of that, the entire town of Mitchelstown is turned into a festival centre with 2am extensions in all bars and live music and DJ's on offer into the early hours.
All €59 weekend tickets purchased from Ticketmaster will allow access to the campsite. Any festival goers who bought €39 day or special offer early bird tickets will be able to access the campsite by paying a supplement on arrival at the site.
