Weirdly enough i was just watching this and last night and was hoping Bruce would be back next summer. Maybe Aviva instead of the RDS , although would love if he got booked for Slane

Could be a real contender for Slane

The only thing is , for the last few shows he has played have been promoted by Aiken which might mean he will keep working with them . However there are only 2 acts that would make me go to Slane and its Bruce and the Foo's

**Mars Bar** · 13-11-2011, 23:25

Agh, really hope it isn't Slane to be honest. I like something a bit smaller.
Please not the RDS though, the sound is something shocking in there.

nm · 13-11-2011, 23:26

I was hoping it would be the Foo's because I just simply don't want to have to go through the ordeal that is a gig in Slane again, but for Bruce I might. He does love the place.

Although would that trek and all those queues and standing in a field all day etc suit his audience?

**Furious-Red** · 13-11-2011, 23:39

What about Pheonix Park? . Think there is rumours that Hard Rock Calling is Bruce/Kasabian/???? so maybe we could get a similar fest

dixiefly · 14-11-2011, 00:22

RDS is fine for Bruce....if you are in the pit. Not great otherwise.

Would Aiken promoting mean that Croker would be out? Then again the sound is not fantastic there either.

Let's hope he plays here if he does come. The venues on a tour (if he does do one) may well be limited.

I think Croke Park is out of the question since they only do 3 gigs a year and Westlife and RHCP are booked in there.

From what I have heard, there is some some of exclusivity deal with one promoter for the Aviva. Haven't seen it in print but the proof is pretty much in the pudding. Slane is also used exclusively, it would seem, by one promoter.

Springsteen has historically booked by another promoter which isn't the one in the paragraph above.

**Furious-Red** · 14-11-2011, 11:09

Yea Bruce was promoted by Aiken the last few years but you dont no how long they have a contract for , but i wouldnt be surprised if he stays with them on the next tour

Yea well the 2 acts that have played the Aviva (Micheal Buble/The Script) have been promoted by MCD

SB-08 · 14-11-2011, 11:38

Bruce has played the RDS so many times now I really hope he tries out some other venues. Playing one night at Croker or Slane would save him doing two nights at the RDS too. Would love to see him play Slane next year. He should've done it this year to mark the 30th Anniversary.

Any word on a new album? I have been surprised he hasn't done a solo record seeing as he did back to back E Street albums and presumably the next one will be with them as well as the tour.

It seems to be driven by the relationship that the promoter has with the agent of the artist.

Neil Diamond as well.

I'd love another seeger sessions!

CiaranK · 14-11-2011, 18:20

I'd love to see him in the O2. That is the only indoor venue he'd play. I would be a nice change from the RDS, better than Slane. But it'll probably be the RDS again. It depends what kind of stuff he does on the tour. Solo, Seeger sessions, or a something new. It was hinted at that the new album could have soul stuff on it.
