Dylan In Galway

raven136

Sheryl crow has been added to the line up for bob dylan in galway which already includes damien dempsey and paddy casey.looks like it could be pretty good and one more 'international' act still to be announced

artvandelay

I was expecting so much more.

raven136

i love the two irish acts but sherly crow....i'll pass on her and get something to eat at that point

funktastic

Damien Dempsey is ****ing awful, overrated ****e just cos he sings in native Dublin vernacular, wow! Poor line-up to the concert, everyone going will be there for Dylan anyway so it doesn't matter too much

Chad ghostal

ill probably stop by paddy casey at some point to see what hes like, but skip the rest. and come back for dylan..
hope the other support is actually good.. ..

From Aiken Promotions site:

"BOB DYLAN will also headline the first ever outdoor concert to take place in Galway...."

What kind of sh1t is this??? Radiohead and Pulp headlined shows in the showgrounds there didn't they ...The Big Day Out or something. Promoters talking through their arse, surprised they haven't said its an intimate stadium venue.

Seems like a decent line-up though.

This gig is still not definite guys, its subject to planning. The residents around Salthill are going mental over the potential noise, drinking, violence, traffic etc on a Sunday night when everyones trying to get up for Monday morning. This stadium is *very* close to houses and some residents homes will be as close to the stage and speakers as most of the crowd attending the gig.

I am looking forward to it, I hope it goes ahead but I'm not holding my breath.

I already have my ticket. I'd say at this stage unless something crazy happens its going ahead.

You'll find a lot of gigs have this "subject to planning" blurb attached, think the RHCP in Phoenix Park had that on the adds at the start too so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

raven136 do you have a link to anywhere where it confirms the rest of that line-up Sheryl Crow etc. this is the only place i've seen it...

Sheryl Crow is supporting The Corrs on the day of this gig.

She is not supporting Bob Dylan.

Don't think so, The Corrs have no gig on the 27th of June

raven136

Bob dylan's fan site(something about rain i'm not quite sure the name of it)has her as the support act.I'm open to be corrected but im nearly sure its her who is supporting him

comet

Just checked it Sheryl Crow definitely is not playing as she has announced her own headline show that very night in the Point

raven136

your right about crow and my apologises.On the christy moore website this morning it says he was asked tp play galway and belfast but at the moment nothing has been worked out,but hopefully it will be

comet

Wow, now that would be class. Keep the fingers crossed that they'll confirm a good line-up, i'll leave it a while before getting a ticket anyway

From Christy Moore website
"Theres talk of a gig with Dylan, that would be an interesting prospect. I was invited to play with him in Belfast and Galway but it did not work out, but now there is another possibility on the horizon. I hope it comes together (Just to clarify, when I say with him I mean on the same bill, there will be no Foster and Allen vibe)"


well that sounds like its not happening so.....

comet

Paddy is confirmed anyway its on his website and also on the Sony site. Thats decent enough so, looks like i'm on my way to Galway.

Paddy To Play Live With Bob Dylan

It has just been confirmed that Paddy will support the legendary Bob Dylan at 2 Irish dates this summer:

Saturday June 26th - Stormont Castle, Belfast
Sunday June 27th - Pierce Stadium, Galway

comet

Gary Jules is also playing apparently but I can't find confirmation.

raven136

the only 2 official support acts announced so far are Paddy Casey and Damien Dempsey
