Witnness packs a punch despite car accident forcing White Stripes’ withdrawal

A TRAFFIC accident has forced the cancellation of one of the star attractions at this weekend’s Witnness festival.

But tens of thousands of people are continuing to stream into Kildare for the punchiest music event of the summer.

The Flaming Lips will be moved to the Witnness main stage at Punchestown to replace The White Stripes.
