This weekend will see 30,000 revellers heading to Co Laois for the Electric Picnic music festival intent on blocking the nation's roads and without even a drop of rain to spoil it for them.
It appears that Bjork, The Stooges, Chemical Brothers, Spiritualized and Primal Scream will not, after all, experience the best Summer '07 could throw at them as Met Éireann has forecast a weekend of mostly dry and bright weather.
So no Oxegen-style mud fest to be had there then. Shame!
Anyway forget the hype, the real action is happening this Sunday in headquarters as the mighty Kilkenny take on the lads from Limerick in the All-Ireland Hurling final.
Limerick surprised many (none inside the county of course) by overcoming the great Dan-the-man Shanahan and his Waterford team in a bruising semi-final. Kilkenny on the other hand strolled through Leinster (again) before hammering Wexford in the semis.
If the boys from Limerick can find the same form that took them pass Waterford, we should be in for a treat of a game.
You might even bump into some of the Limerick lads in Co Clare this weekend if reports in the tabloids are to be believed.
According to the red-tops Limerick management has refused to impose a "nookie" ban on the team ahead of the final which could lead to the post-match celebrations happening in Lisdoonvarna.
Yes, today marks the start of the Co Clare town's Matchmaking Festival which is expected to draw thousands over the next few weeks.
Over the next five weeks the town is set to become a haven for men and women searching for a spouse among the live music, dancing, and the three-day amateur Lisdoonvarna Race Meeting.
Other attractions over the coming weeks include a country-and-western weekend, speed-dating weekend, and local matchmaker Willie Daly working his charms on the public.
The festival runs until Sunday, October 7th, when the most eligible lady and gentleman from the event will be awarded the coveted titles of Mr Lisdoonvarna and the Queen of the Burren in the grand final.
