2006 festival

The 2006 event was a one-day affair which took place at Ballinlough Castle in Athboy, County Meath on Sunday 4 June. Among the acts to play were The Orb, 2 Many DJs, Buck 65, Asian Dub Foundation and Neosupervital. [2]

2007 festival

The 2007 event was also a one-day affair and took place again at Ballinlough Castle in Athboy, County Meath on Saturday 9 June from 2 p.m. until 2 a.m. [3] [4] It was headlined by Pet Shop Boys, Burning Spear, Carl Cox and Hot Chip. [5]

The festival took place in high temperatures [6] with Vitalic arriving 45 minutes late due to a delayed flight but eventually making an appearance on the Main Stage. [7]

The 2007 festival was a resounding success and the organisers immediately announced its return in 2008. Organiser John Reynolds said: "This is the second year and like everything it takes two or three years for a festival to find its feet but if all goes well, it'll be an annual event from now on." [8] However, the festival has now been confirmed by Bodytonic not to be taking place in 2008. [9]
