Slane confirmed already?

superconor

When do they announce the slane line up?

I heard they had confirmed it to be AC/DC and The Darkness?

but surely they couldnt already confirm it?

The Darkness probably wont be playing Slane because I know for a fact that they are playing at Witnness this year

Stifler

and how do you know that for a fact!

cyberspider

Because I was told by one of the lads in the band after christmas. He was asking we where Punchestown was.

Well, it was in the cards anyway since they were confirmed for the T in the Park Festival over two months ago.

Announcements for Slane can vary. Last year it was announced in February, which is pretty early, yet the year before (Stereophonics) it was announced in late May. All in all though, once the V Festival announces its lineup over the next month or so you'd be able to give a pretty good guess of who's playing or not.

I really want the Cure to play in Ireland this year.

id expect the slane organisers to announce now, since the oxygen line up has just been announced in order to retaliate

Eh. They're the same organisers.

Heard on 2FM earlier this morning that Madonna is 'hotly tipped' to play Slane this summer. I think the DJ was quoting it from today's Star.

Disappointing news to say the least........

Anyway lord whats his face (slane dude) wants to keep it a rock venue.Madonna would never have a chance thats a stupid rumor started by every ones annoying little sisters.(or something to that extent).I dony think they can top last year though.It was brilliant !go slane!:rolleyes:

Dont be at yourself

Strokes are headlining the V Festival in the UK. Slane generally bases its lineup on that, doesn't it?

Since they're already confirmed for Oxegen, they won't be playing Slane.
