Element Festival is an Irish three-day camping music festival due to take place for the first time in County Waterford [cite web|url=http://www.hotpress.com/archive/4397363.html|title="New festival for Waterford"|date=2008-02-01|accessdate=2008-05-19|publisher="Hot Press"] from August 15-17 2008. Luan Parle, Juno Falls, The Chapters, Vesta Varro, The Flaws, Prison Love, The Blims, Joe Cleere, Floyd Soul & The Wolf, Dae Kim, The Beat Poets, Gorbachov, Ilya K, Hoarse Box, Saving J, The Creaks, Junah, Alan Kavanagh, 21 Outs and Ikea Boy are amongst the acts taking part. It was launched on February 1, with tickets due to go on sale on April 1. [cite web|url=http://www.munster-express.ie/front-page-news/top-stories/the-flaws-added-to-waterfords-element-festival-2008/|title="The Flaws added to Waterford’s Element Festival 2008"|date=2008-02-01|accessdate=2008-05-19|publisher="The Munster Express"] However in March, uncertainty emerged over whether the festival would actually take place when the official website was replaced with the slogan "Bands will be contacted", leading to speculation that there had been a failure to get a license for the performance and also (rumoured) a drop in the venue from the halfway house in Tramore.

Unfortunitly this festival was canceled for 2008, hopefully it will happen next year. [http://www.kilkennymusic.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=3164]
