Guinness today announced the line-up of artists for Dublin’s Arthur’s Day 250th anniversary celebrations on September 24.

The celebrations begin in Dublin at 17:59 local time with a global toast to Arthur Guinness to mark 250 years since the signing of the 9,000 year lease on the St James's Gate brewery and kick off the beginning of the Arthur’s Day global events.

Some of the music industry’s biggest names including Tom Jones, Sugababes, David Gray, The Kooks, Razorlight and David Holmes as well as some of today’s most influential rising stars such as Imelda May, Republic of Loose, Mick Flannery, Reverend and the Makers, Mystery Jets, Noah and the Whale, Jamie Cullum and Calvin Harris will be joining previously announced artists such as The Enemy, Estelle, Soul II Soul, The Undertones and Kasabian for the Dublin celebrations.

Over 60 Artists will be performing in Dublin and around the world including New York, Lagos, Yaoundé and Asia to mark this remarkable milestone.

In Dublin thousands of people will be coming together to experience the live music events in over 30 venues across Dublin from intimate gigs in 28 Dublin pubs to 4 other music venues and a concert at the St James’s Gate brewery itself.

Grainne Wafer, Guinness Head of Marketing, said: "Consumers will see artists including Tom Jones, David Gray and Imelda May in a Dublin pub for under ten euro, which is a really exciting prospect. Each of the four studio venues will have up to seven international and local artists performing live for a 20-minute set; before making an unannounced appearance for 30 minutes when they perform live in an intimate pub setting.”

At 17:59 in Ireland and around the world, consumers will be joined by Artists and celebrities including Sir Bob Geldof, Guy Ritchie, Carson Daly, Jerry Hall and Sophie Dahl as they take part in this once in a lifetime moment and raise a GUINNESS to Arthur and toast the Arthur Guinness Fund.

Tickets will go on sale via Ticketmaster at 9am on July 23.

Tickets for the four studio venues and the 28 Dublin pubs will cost €17.59 and €9 respectively.

Proceeds from all ticket sales will be donated to the Arthur Guinness Fund

Excellent, my apartment overlooks that. Anyone got a high-powered sniper rifle I can borrow?

They are playing inside a building, Hop Store 13.

This is going to sound realllllly pedantic....but are you able to change the incorrect spellings in the title of this thread, so that it shows up in searches?

I.e. Arthur's, instead of Arturs, and, Guinness, instead of Guiness.

I can't wait for these gigs.
Pity there isn't one happening in The Olympia though.

where did you hear Kasabian were playing the Brewery??

@Knifey_Spoony - did you try a PM to a mod before the public post?

Will you be able to get an accurate shot as they chew their jaws off?

I'll do my best.

You can have a go if you like (in exchange for a Pixies ticket!)

Hi all,

Could someone tell me which venue David Gray is playing?

Can't find it on the site!

d_dools

hey ive been trying to find out where Johnny Flynn is playing?...
does anyone know?... making of a perfect birthday gift, dont want to send themn to the wrong pub!

cheers

Bluetonic

Try getting in contact with the artists management if your desperate to find out.

Aside from Kasabian/Estelle playing in St James's Gate which by the looks of it tickets are all only for winners of various promotions etc..,

this might sound a little mad, but i DID actually get in contact with the management, and in fairness they replied but said that they didn't even have the slightest clue!

i appreciate that its based on pot luck but i still dont want to fork out 20 quid to go somewhere where ill hate the music for the night, if i wanted that i'd go clubbing on the weekend

Gavin "shels"

Any idea how to enter the draw for the tickets to James's Gate? Would love to go and see Kasabian again.

Paul Weller is not listed as playing on any press releases or on the Guinness 250 website.

I'm looking to pick up tickets for one of the pubs tomorrow. Anybody know what the limit on the amount of tickets you can buy in one transaction is? can't find it anywhere

50 judging by the Ticketmaster.ie website.

Some of the pubs can barely fit 50

rannerap

ive been following this for a while now

the gig in the brewery is not on sale to the public at all,its only comps etc

the other 4 big venues that are happening are vicar street,academy,tripod and whelans

http://www.hotpress.com/news/5716472.html

the line up for those 4 gigs is listed there on hotpress,announced earlier and on sale in the morning,theres loads of other gigs the same nigh in venues such as dorans and spy etc,the line up for which is never going to be announced and merely pot luck who ya get,im buying a ticket for dorans me thinks.......2 small bands will be playing all those gigs as well as a special guest from one of the big name bands listed

hope this helps everyone!

Killaqueen!!!

This is so annoying!! they could at least announce one or two of the bands that are playing in each pub. Fair enough if they want the special guest to be kept a secret. But I want to see Noah and the Whale and I don't know which pub to buy a ticket for. And you have to choose between going to one of the 4 'big' venues or the pubs. Great idea for a night but frustrating all the same.

Well bought tickets for Whelans anyhow, hopefully it'll be a good night out.

Starmix

Bought tickets for Vicar St - The Blizzards and Reverend and the Makers - Delira

catho_monster

How did you find out those guys were playing Vicar St?

I want to see Jamie Cullum, and I would have guessed his venue would be Vicar St. but now I'm not so sure!!

I took a chance on Vicar St - and it paid off. Although after I booked them, I noticed it was listed on Ticketmaster.

I would never have thought Jamie Cullum would have been in Tripod. I hope you get tickets.

Where did you see it listed on ticketmaster? EDIT: forget it, just saw the acts for the four main venues listed on the event page on ticketmaster.

I'm trying to figure out where to see Noah and the Whale. Seriously, what's with the lucky dip?? Are people actually buying tickets to random pub gigs like?! Load of rubbish.

catho_monster

Phew, thanks for that kennyu272, got my jamie cullum tickets!

Whelans was sold out within 5 minutes yesterday alright.

Jax Teller

oh yeah gettin academy tickets later on

NIBBS

would have loved to hit one of these gigs, think it's a fantastic idea, very very varied lineups, 20 min sets, and then the Pub lottery of not knowing who's playing till you get there is another cool idea, these gigs will be great craic....pity I'm heading away that afternoon...

The Whelans lineup is very strong in my opionion, lucky people that got those tickets....

Pulse8

Im ragin' over this....mad to see Kasabian but I guess its not gonna happen now if its competition winners etc only

Cant seem to see any details anywhere on how to win though!!

navannavan

anybody know who is booking bands ,

I entered in a pub - they have these posters where you put your signature in a line, text a number to Guinness & go in a draw. Total pot luck - only 50 winners from that. Reckon the rest will be gone to VIPs etc.

Re the pubs - could be that the Village will have some of the Whelans bands given that they're next door.... I got tickets to Stags head cos that one's on the ad..... not sure about my logic really. Should be good wherever you end up that day.
