€1m Spike makeover to include music event

With the Oxegen music festival postponed this summer, the county council is hoping to cash in on a major event of its own towards the end of June, which will form part of the centenary commemoration of the Titanic sinking.

County manager Martin Riordan said plans were well advanced for the event and the local authority was considering providing camping sites on the island for those attending. Bands and other performers have been booked but details will not be released until a later date.
