Blistering start to Waterford's All Together Now festival - despite traffic congestion

A blistering set from dance pioneers Orbital last night closed the Main Stage on the first day of All Together Now, though the festivities were overshadowed by what was happening off site on the roads to Waterford’s Curraghmore House.

Earlier Fontaines DC enjoyed a sort of homecoming, playing their first Irish gig since bagging a Mercury Prize nomination for their debut Dogrel - tunes such as ‘Boys in the Better Land’ and ‘Liberty Belle’ had bodies flying at the stage barrier, while the gentle slope towards the stage afforded a vantage point for those seeking a more genteel evening, including the many families in attendance.
