arthurs day... guinness celebration gigs

Bluetonic

Which gig are you talking about?

Some events are sold out, some are not. There are around 40 events all together which are open to the public via ticket sales and one event which is for competition winners only (the storehouse gig with Kasabian, Tom Jones and Estelle).

The ticket company who are dealing with the event really irritate me: "Tickets are not on sale"- it should say "Sold Out" or "Available". I am uncertain as of now because I have heard that more tickets are being released- so I am unsure, thanks to that company (which will remain nameless, due to the Boards.ie rules, I believe) if they will be on sale again soon.

No, I'm pretty sure you're free to say ticketmaster are a complete shower of thieving cvnts if you wanted to...

Really want to know where Noah and the Whale are playing... Anyone heard anything? Even rumours?!

Rabbit Heart

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before but Kasabian, Tom Jones and Estelle will be playing one of the pub venues as well as the Storehouse.

Has anyone heard where Kasabian are playing, even rumours?
They're the only band I really want to see and Guinness arent giving away any hints.

I never managed to find any of those codes or whatever we were supossed to be looking for for the Storehouse gig.
I was gonna chance my arm and see if I could get in but its very doubtful:p

Have to say Guinness are doing well to keep this under wraps, 40 venues and the none of the pubs staff or promoters have even dropped a sneaky hint.... they must be drawing names out of a hat on the day, anybody know anyone playing on the day or a member of the Guinness family with a slight bit of insider info??

malene

I know in navan , some of the publicans haven't a clue what's going on.

yep theres about 4 of us with tickets. hopefully it'll be back open in time or ill be going mad who wants a €9 refund when every other pub has sold out and you're on the street!

I have a good feeling they'll have some decent acts there, really lookin forward to it!

rannerap

Whats the story with the gig in the brewery? The one with Kasabian,Estelle etc. Is it a VIP job,dont see any ticket info for it.

Spoke to someone who works in the brewery but not for Guinness themselves. Apparently tickets for this one are like the preverbial hens teeth and those attending are likely only to be on the AAAA+ list.

Think there was whispers of them playing the Guinness storehouse?

squidgey

Looking at previous posts there's a lot of repeated questions we already have the answers for - cost of tickets, lineups etc. All info is ticketmaster.ie.

For those who are still unsure

1) Big gig in Storehouse - You cannot buy tickets for this, it's all corporate/celebs/comp winners etc

2) There are 4 other decent sized gigs where the lineups have been announced. These are all sold out - tickets were around the €20 mark

3) There are about 40 other smaller gigs in pubs around the country. Tickets are approx €9 - many of these are sold out but some still on sale. you will see 2 smaller acts and 1 "big" act such as david gray, sugababes etc. Which "big" act is playing which smaller venue has not yet been announced - it's supposed to be some form of lottery type system.

My question is - has anyone heard any whisperings of which headline acts are playing the smaller venues - somebody must know something!!

Kasabian, Estelle and Tom Jones;)

I just want to know where Kasabian are playing!
It doesnt look like we're going to find out though.

squidgey

Sorry I meant which act goes with each venue. I saw the lists of acts. I'm going to book one of the venues and hope to catch Calvin Harris or David Gray. I've never heard of Kasabian before.

Darragh

I have the line-up in front of me for all the pubs and venues. The big big acts won't be announced until the evening. I'll post the listings tonight, post embargo

Rabbit Heart

EDIT: Thats to Squidgey btw

The lads in Pygmalion bar have said the they've gotten wind of who's playing the Powerscourt Centre and say it's the best act by far. Can they know this or is this just shameless self promotion?
