Well no Slane this year, but who could fill Slane ??
3 concerts in Croke Park this year and none sold out. Who could sell 80,000 ticketss.
Not looking for the right band or the wrong band, but simpley who could sell 80,000 and have a sell out in Slane ??
I think Springsteen could for 1 ??
Ignore Max Power, he is no more, the future is Ron Burgundy. I'd love to be Ron Burgundy but they won't let me........
Springsteen, Rolling Stones, a reformed Pink Floyd, Radiohead*, Westlife*, Bob Dylan, Neil Young*
* if they hadn't already played/be playing this summer

Don't think Neil Young could sell 80k.
Stones, did that sell out. Think it did.
Suppose U2 as well.

I was disgusted that Prince couldn't sell out Croker. Are people not into good music in this country or what?

Yeah U2 would as well, Stones sold out alright, and didn't Westlife play a few nights in Croke?
Prince didn't sell out because there has been a huge variety of over-priced gigs this summer, but he sold 60,000 tickets and would have probably got another 10,000 through the gates before the gig happened had it not been cancelled a few days previously
Ac/dc?
no just 1. Prince was on a monday and a sat prob would have sold out.

Springsteen has already played this Summer OP.
Arctic Monkeys would easily fill Slane as well.
not a chance.Springsteen has already played this Summer OP.
Arctic Monkeys would easily fill Slane as well.
I know Springsteen has played, its not literal question my good man.
Daniel O'donnell and all his mob might fill it, but only with a tea bar

Bon Jovi? Had about 70,000 in Punchestown, similar number in Croke Park in '06, with the right support they'd easily fill Slane.
Looks like they won't be touring again for 3-4 years though.

eh define 'good music'I was disgusted that Prince couldn't sell out Croker. Are people not into good music in this country or what?

Think the price had something to do with thatI was disgusted that Prince couldn't sell out Croker. Are people not into good music in this country or what?
Metallica could probably sell about 60,000 tickets, dunno about the full 80,000 though
agreed, there honestly are very few acts that can sell 80k these days.
RHCP were mentioned here in work, but i'm not sure about them either.
I think they'll have to go with 2/3 major acts to fill it to be honest.

AD/DC, Led Zepplin, U2 and possibily Rage Against the Machine.
With the ticket prices at the minute its not as attractive any more, bands like the ones mentioned above would be the best bets off the top of my head.
Rage would fill it if they were not doing Oxygen this summer.
Metallica have toured here too much lately so the whole experience isn't quite so unique any more. They really need this new album to be quality.
U2 will always sell out in Ireland.
Couldn't see Rage selling 80k tickets to be honest, not unless they had acts like Queens of the Stone Age on the support card
Ac/dc
Think people are picking their favourites here rather than looking at the most popular groups.
U2 would easily fill it, Coldplay and probably Oasis still with any sort of decent support and maybe the Chillies or Bon Jovi with very good, similar support acts.
As for me I'll have an Oasis/Verve joint headliner please.
While Westlife are more popular than all the above, I wouldn't like to see all those 11-year olds making that hour-long slog through the castle grounds.
KEEP TO THE LEFT! NO P***ING IN THE BUSHES! GET OFF THEM HEELYS!!
City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.
O'Bama - "Eerah yeah, I'd say we can alright!"
G.O'Mahoney Trapattoni'll sort ém out!!
it would help if the act could actually turn up
Zepplin would be the best bet so far apart from U2 me thinnks
