honru

Heineken Green Energy is returning, only difference really is that it is being moved from the May Bank Holiday weekend to the June Bank Holiday weekend (Friday 4th to Monday 7th), although the line-up already justifies the move!

05: Morrissey
06: Iggy and the Stooges
07: The Streets

AMBASSADOR THEATRE

05: I Am Kloot

Looking better than Oxegen. I really wanna see The Distillers.

Indeed. SHould be a class gig Oxygen looks really weak. The Carling weekend coming to Ireland hasn't been mentioned in a long while so it might not even happen now That and the fact that MCD bought a cut in Mean fiddler.

the carling weekend is never officially announced at all until the start of May anyway!

Ro: maaan!

Anyone know who's supporting at any of the gigs? Or is there a website that it might say it on?

Is that the Carling weekends in Reading and Leeds? I've already purchased my ticket for Reading:D

dregin

Yeah it was to be run alongside Reading/Leeds at Stradbally estate in Co. Laois. Haven't heard a thing since they announced it

Isn't that the first weekend of the leaving cert? Kinda bad timing for those who have to do it.

yeah pre-advance tickets are on sale for reading and leeds as they always are(you won't recieve them until 5 days before the festival though) but no bands have been announced, no details cept when and where and how much it will cost you. that's it. nothing is ever officially annnounced about the carling weekend until later

This year has been really good for gigs already and now i have to spend more money to see HIM and Distillers. the one year i dont have a job and this happens!

Interesting, wouldn't mind seeing Morrissey

I may sound like a total fool here (i am a big music fan) but i have never heard of HIM or The Distillers!!!

Ah come off it, only 6 or 7 bands have been announced for Oxegen yet (out of something like 60) will be good weekend, to say this will be better is an exaggeration in the extreme, anyway these are all individually priced and seperate gigs (unless you can buy a weekend ticket??)

Sing Sing... was a great Album by the Distillers. not so sure on their new stuff. They do punk rock very well

Hmm... don't think the few will be too pleased with Iggy clashing with The Distillers.

So stoked about Iggy though :cool:.

It's all confirmed through promoters MCD. You can buy tickets here.

Is Dublin Castle an outdoor venue??? crap if it is, these artists would be much better indoors

magpie

It's not just Iggy, it's the stooges you fools! Ron and James Asheton... the world's nastiest rock machine.

The distillers are just some groupie bint and a couple of tattoed LA types. Rubbish.

wiped

LOL ... niceone Mappie .... it's a pity Dublin Castle is such a sh!te venue .... so sh!te in fact that I'm giving Iggy & The Stooges a miss .....

Jet just added now as well. Thursday, June 3rd at The Ambassador.

magpie

JMC, you obviously work for MCD. Give me a pass for The Stooges now!

Bartman

I Am Kloot are a ****ing deadly band too, you should go check them out! Another in a long line of great bands from Manchester. Really wanna see Morrissey(smile) and The Stooges should be cool. Supergrass are not only a great band, they're a brilliant live band to boot! That's gona be a rapid weekend,better sort tickets...and drugs. Anyone selling?

Man! Ive heard a limited amount of I Am Kloot and thought they SUCKED!

Perhaps I should give them another listen u reckon?

Bartman

Different strokes for different folks man, give them another listen if you want. I only have the first album and I think thats deadly.
