    im going to have to keep waiting, mad to go to another gig but there's nothing really confirmed so far that actually has me excited even yela who i think is alright.

    but if drake confirms lamar is on tour with him, il be there if it kills me.:)


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,416 ✭✭✭Jimmy Iovine


    Saw that the Yelawolf gig is over 14s with no alcohol served at all. Not sure if I'll head to it yet. If I do though would hope for a slightly older crowd than that. Doesn't fill me with much confidence seeing over 14s.

  • Registered Users Posts: 9,416 ✭✭✭Jimmy Iovine


    Souls of Mischief are touring in the UK next month.
    March 5th Norwich Arts Centre
    March 6th Ipswich The Swan
    March 7th Manchester Roadhouse
    March 9th Penzance Sound
    March 10th Cardiff The Moon
    March 11th London Jazz Cafe
    March 12th Leeds The Wells
    March 13th Edinburgh The Electric Circus
    March 14th Glasgow Classic Grand

    They seem to be playing a few festivals in Europe this summer as well. You never know we might see them at Electric Picnic possibly, or preferably for a gig on their own.

    I'm seriously tempted to head over to the gig in Edinburgh. It's only £10 for a ticket and the flights are €26 return with Ryanair. I've been to Edinburgh before and it's a handy enough place to get around. The venue is right beside the main railway station in the city.

    €38 for flights and ticket. I think The Game was around €40 to see a few months. When you look at it like that then it'd be criminal nearly not to head on over.

    Now to try and convince some of my friends to come over as well. That'll be the hard part.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,416 ✭✭✭Jimmy Iovine


    Talib Kweli is also playing in the UK next month: London, Manchester and Glasgow. Tickets are around £25 but it could be another one worth a trip over for. If I'd lads to go with I'd probably head.

    Bit frustrating because he seems to be playing everywhere in Europe bar here. Luxembourg, Netherlands, Sweden, England, Scotland, Norway and Germany about 10 times.

    Tanya Morgan should be playing Dublin and Galway soon as well.

    Ireland is being overlooked because generally there are poor crowds and little activity at merch stands. There is also the additional cost of flights to and from Ireland. Whereas the rest of the tour can mostly done by bus or rail.
    So it's not exactly cost effective to play here.

    Although, the last Kweli gig here was jammed.

    I have a promoter friend who mainly does drum n bass gigs, he wants to dabble into the hip hop market but he reckons the risk is too high.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,431 ✭✭✭Hugh Cream


    That's interesting about the merchandising, the prices are usually outrageous but I imagine that's the same everywhere.

    Golden Plec and Rap Ireland are having comps to win tickets. No harm in entering them to save your self a tenner.

    DJ Angelo is in the Grafton Lounge tonight, free in.

    He's real good, uses all differnt types of controllers in his set.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,213 ✭✭✭PrettyBoy


    Anyone else going to Just Blaze? Getting my tickets now, convinced one of my mates to go with me..not sure what to expect but he's definitely a favorite producer of mine, not going to miss him when he's here.

    I'd definitely go if I was still in college in Maynooth. The journey from Kilkenny is a bit much for this. Hopefully he'll pop down here on the Sunday night :P.
