Belfast's Vital Festival Cancelled Because Of 'Festival Saturation'

The 2008 edition of the Vital festival in Belfast has been cancelled because organisers have struggled to book acts for the event.



They blamed the sheer number of festivals in the United Kingdom, understood to be around 500, for the cancellation.



In previous years, the Vital festival, which takes place in Ormeau Park, has seen performances from Kings of Leon and The Killers.



But, in a statement, Tom McCusker, said that this year the event had found it hard to attract "top acts within a climate of apparent over-saturated scheduling of talent at this level".



Tennent's, the company behind the festival, said they still hoped to continue their relationship with Northern Ireland.

Dennis Quaid - The Things They Say 8418

"As I grow older, I put all life's bulls**t aside. I think the process of the laying off of the bulls**t starts around 40. Before that, most men have their heads stuck in their ass. After 40, you see things differently. You've found yourself. You're accepting yourself and what you got from life." Actor DENNIS QUAID is happy with life at the age of 54.
