British superstar Robbie Williams is expected to head the line-up at this year's Slane Festival, details of which will be announced this afternoon, writes Kevin Courtney.
The annual one-day music event at Slane Castle, Co Meath, is expected to be held on August 28th. Promoters MCD and Slane Castle's owner, Lord Mount Charles, will announce the 1999 event in Dublin this afternoon.
In addition to Williams, the event will probably feature at least five more well-known rock and pop acts. The festival will attract some 70,000 fans.
