Wow! Probably for the best mind. My own experience of Stephens night is that there's a lot of party people (and no small amount of messers) who've little interest in the gigs and are there coz "everybody's out tonight"

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.
I think I should the parachute, because I'm great.
In fact, I think I should get both parachutes, in case one doesn't work.
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.

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.
ALRIIIIIGHT!!!! DIG!!!!

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.
They say what about the meek?
I say theyve got a bloody cheek
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 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.
In Trap we trust
Yep - have the ticket for the Boss and hoping to make it to Radiohead as well.
The last Slane gig I was at was the Verve in 1998 and I swore I wouldn't be back.
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!!!!!
Quoting years at random since 1975
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
See that Razorlight are playing on the same bill as Bon Jovi
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
You show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser - Vince Lombardi
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.
