Was just wondering if there is many big acts coming to Eire this year. Velvet revolver are in the ambassador the 12th and 13th of march but other than that is there any others confirmed?
I know theres the rumour that Zepplin could be playing Phoenix or Slane but other than that................................
Bon Jovi in Punchestown in June.
Tickets already purchased.
I don't class myself as a music fan of any kind by the way, the girlfriend is a massive fan and the last gig at Croke Park was a good show.
Radiohead
Bruce Springsteen
Eels in Vicar St in March.
Tickets were a surprise Christmas pressie, nice!
Never mention those 2 words in Finn Park if you value your life. Living on a prayer is an out-lawed song in these parts. Oh no I've said to much................... (long story)Quote:

Apparently the non-tribute are on the way too later in the year if they ever finish the album ...but frankly - I can't get smashed off my tits at an actual Metallica gig and stagger home in a mood for some heavy metal lovin' :D
:cool:
Yup, the one and only Kim Deal. She wrote the Pixies song 'Gigantic' and performs it at the Breeders shows.Quote:

Then I'll do a festival in the summer, thinking of trying out Rock Am Ring in Germany or maybe Download again...possibly Rock Werchter in Belgium
Co-wrote I'll have you know! At least I read that she co-wrote it with Black Francis, while even her ex, John Murphy, had a couple of inputs too.Quote:

Supposed to be going to that. Was at the Guns'N'Roses tribute on Stephen's night in there too. Quality, even if the crowd was a little disappointing.Quote:

Seen him there before with the Catholics in 2003 I think it was, amazing show. I've a ticket to see the Smashing Pumpkins the same night though so I won't make it this time.Quote:

Disappointing? how so? as in small? that'd be very surprising for a Stephens night. Usually jammers whoever's on.Quote:

Not Ireland but.... Jack Johnson with Mason Jennings and G Love and special sauce playing Hyde Park,London 3rd of July.
Not Ireland either but I'll be going to the Smashing Pumpkins in Stockholm in March.
Good stuff.
Cypress Avenue here in Cork have the Sultans of Ping for 2 nights March 7th & 8th, Friday the 7th might be a good night, if we're at home, as its the first weekend of the season.
The Dykeenies are playing on Friday Feb 15th and the Wombats are also pencilled in for Sunday May 25th.
frank and walters are also on the 7th march in crane lane! pure cork
2ManyDJS playing Spirit on the 25th of this month, Vitalic are on in March, but other than that there's nowt on the cards for me.
The recent PJ Harvey gig in the Olympia will take some beating though
There's a few gigs I'd like to get to but maybe won't ...American Music Club in Dolans on the 29th, Dropkick Murphys in Dublin on the 31st ...but tonight I'm off to see Metallitia. :cool:
ALRIIIIIGHT!!!! DIG!!!!
:D
Woo Hoo!!
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Dublin Castle May 3rd. It's been a while since he was here with a full Bad Seeds line up, 2001 in the Olympia I think.
Going to see The Irish Pink Floyd in Letterkenny 14th Feb.
Anyone seen these guys? Are they any good?
I might be going to Madrid for the 30th May. Its a 3 day music festival with Metallica and RATM headlining :D Tickets on sale in Feb.
Anyone know any Spanish? Also rumoured to be playing Reading in August.
I hate tribute bands.
Radiohead should be good in June and the Boss should be great also but very very pricey. Lets hope Led Zep plane Slane, its the only way you would ge me there again as its a lot of hassle to get there and back.
Electric Picnic should be fantastic again I am glad it does not clash with the trips away for the Ireland matches.
Yep - have the ticket for the Boss and hoping to make it to Radiohead as well.Quote:

If Led Zep play - I'll walk to bloody Slane and back though.
I'd treat it with the reverence of a Tenacious D-like "Quest" to see the Lords of Rock!!!!!
I was in slane for the Queens of the stone age, Foo Fighters and Chiilis, it was a great gig but a crap venue. Swore it would take a huge act to bring me back. Was thinking of going last year to the stones but Harps played Derry in the cup that night so it made up my mind for me.
Wolfie, I'll join ya in your quest, bare foot I presume?
i'll probably be off to Wacken festival in Germany again this year. Great craic last time!
There's also rumour of a Michael Jackson tour which would be pretty sweet :D
Yep. Barefoot with hooded cloaks and lit torches.Quote:

Surely a bit of a mismatch
Reminded me of the Pogues who had a x-mas concert with the family band (the kelly family?) from germany........what was there name? It was a total mismatch with both set of fans arriving and leaving at different times. Am i correct/wrong about this event happening?
I have tickets for Springsteen in the RDS & also for Jason Isbell in Whelans on the 1st of April, he used to be in The Drive By Truckers...listen out for him, he's pretty great
Broken Social Scene - Vicar Street in March should be a buzz.
Radiohead,obviously (I'll go both days if I can:)), and probably skip Oxegen this year for the first time in 4 years after the disgraceful treatment of the music goers last year (did f u c k all to alleviate the agonising mud situation on routeways), and EP is a definite this year after a taste last year, and will warm me up the liver nicely before the away qualifiers.
Teagan and Sara in the Button Club in Fev
Grant Lee Philips in Whelans in April
The National in the Olympia in May
are a few on my radar at the moment
