The Limp Bizkit date at Punchestown racecourse is shaping up to be a mini-festival, possibly under the Sunstroke banner. The Sunstroke festivals were held in Dublin in 1993 and 1994, and the one-day events featured rock acts like The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Faith no More, and The Breeders. Limp Bizkit look set to be joined by Papa Roach and Everclear at the event this year which takes place at the Punchestown racecourse outside Dublin on June 26th. The Session in NI reported weeks ago that REM were rumoured to be the headline act at Witnness this year. While the 6 headline bands are still to be announced, we have heard that REM is printed on the tickets, and that they will be playing on the Sunday night.
