Super Furry Animals took the stage at the Witnness Festival in Fairyhouse Racecourse, County Meath, Ireland, during a pivotal moment in their career. Just weeks earlier, they had released their genre-bending fifth album, Rings Around the World, which saw the band expanding their sonic palette and gaining international attention.
Sharing the bill with the likes of Muse, The Charlatans, and Faithless, the Furries brought their trademark psychedelic energy to the Irish crowd. Though no official audio or video recordings of the set have surfaced online, the performance is fondly remembered by those who attended.
The lack of accessible footage is frustrating but not surprising. Like many early-2000s festival sets, it's likely trapped in private archives—possibly even lost. It’s a reminder of just how much musical history remains undocumented or inaccessible from that era. Still, for fans and festivalgoers, the Witnness 2001 set lives on in memory as a snapshot of the Super Furry Animals being as creative as they always are.
