Kooks, Coronas & Heineken Green Energy...

Jaaaysus! Doesn't time fly? It's been 13 years since the Heineken Green Energy festival kicked-off in The Point, and 12 years since it moved to Dublin Castle. At the weekend The Kooks and The Coronas wafted their tunes across the summer breeze in Temple Bar next door. No neighbours complained...

Here at ShowBiz Ireland we've been faithful followers of the H.G.E. Festival these many years. We love a good feckin' concert plus it's only across the road from our Temple Bar HQ... Handy.As.Fook.

At H.G.E. 2008, there were a couple of highlights with Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and Radio Soulwax headlining Friday and Saturday night respectively. Support acts David Graney & Riton and Das Pop deserve a mention too...

But Sunday night was Thee Night for us with the sensational 'The Kooks' headlining on a warm and balmy evening in Dublin City Centre. You don't usually get the weather in this part of the world, but when you do, a music festival is the place to be with a cold one in your hand...

Danny O'Reilly (The Coronas)

The Kooks were supported by Irish band The Coronas. Apparently, the lead singer with The Coronas, Danny O'Reilly, is the son of Irish trad legend Mary Black... Interesting fact o' the day.
