QuoteWhat did The Who get to Marlay Park last year?
Arctic Monkeys would fill Slane.
They sold out two days in Malahide Castle last year and have since gone from strength to strength. They've headlined Glasto, which is a far bigger ocasion than Slane.

I knew that would be brought upOriginally Posted by pineapple stu
I haven't a scooby doo.
Probably fook all seeing as they were playing in the Marquee as well and they haven't that great a following over here.
There were a good few; I was eavesdropping in the GAA Club next door, but it was a good crowd. Though I've no idea what Marlay Park holds for concerts.
Marley holds between 14 and 18k.
The Arctic Monkeys sell 80k, now thats a laugh.
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........
Garth Brooks
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Madonna? Michael Jackson?
Madonna couldn't sell it out last time. Jackson hasn't toured in so long that it is hard to know.
Grath brooks, i think he could sell it out and more than once.

Christy Moore.
(Not exactly his kind of venue, but he could sell a few tickets!)
Was Paul McCartney mentioned?
Like Prince, I reckon cost had a massive impact on the number of tickets sold for Madonna, IIRC it was close to €100. Since it was on Sunday instead of Saturday, there were only 3 acts on the day, Madonna, Paul Oakenfold and Iggy & The Stooges. By comparison, a weekend + camping ticket for Oxegen was about €170.
cost is something that is set, 80k is the target. The promotor and the artist can get it wrong so if they don't sell enough its their own fault.

Termonbarry Athletic TID!
It's Arctic Monkeys and yes they would fill it.
how many tickets have they sold here, maybe 30k its a big step up to 80k.

Arcade Fire would have a good stab at it IMO. Slane should be a festival type gig anyway with 3 or 4 top class headliners. last time I went was the Verve supported by the Manics and a surprisingly excellent Robbie Williams. actually theres someone who'd deffo fill it on his own as would the newly reformed Take That
Garth Brooks and Paul McCartney are good shouts but the rest wouldn't fill it. Madonna and Jackson would be too expensive for them, Madonna doesn't have the fanbase some people assume she does, and Jackson, well we all know why he's lost so many fans. Bands like the Arctic Monkeys and Arcade Fire wouldn't come close. Robbie Williams is washed up at this stage, and Take That wouldn't be able to sell 80k, 40-50k I'd say, but not 80
Would love to see AC/DC in Slane!
Galway United - Connacht Champions 2008
The Who, jackson is reforming the jackson 5 isn't he? chilli peppers can do it no problem, U2 obviously, Foo Fighters, AC/DC and metallica (both with good support acts).
