EUROVISION flops Wild Youth have been blasted for playing “the most unprofessional, shortest, disrespectful show” at a festival. 

They were booked in to headline the Ballygar Carnival in Galway, much to the excitement of locals, but one told us it was the “worst experience ever”.

Numerous revellers said they were left frustrated, disappointed and angered with their performance right from the get go.

The band, led by frontman Conor O’Donohue, had been scheduled to start playing at 12am and to play a set for between 90 and 120 minutes.

However, Wild Youth arrived on stage at around 1.18am according to one attendee and left the stage at 2.08am, playing less than an hour.
