Dolans big announcement?

leakyboots

Anyone know what this is? They were meant to make an announcement on Friday but it's been put back to today...? Big act to play there soon?

amiable

Jedward are apparently playing there soon to be supported by Crystal Swing:D

The Snipe

Didn't hear of this at all o.O Where is it being announced?

leakyboots

If you're on the Dolans mailing list they sent out this on the 17th:

"We have developed a nervous tic here in Dolan's HQ this afternoon due to the fact we have some heart stoppingly good news but are bound to secrecy until later today / tomorrow morning so all I can say is please make sure and keep an eye on your mails as you DO NOT want to miss this one!"

Then on Friday they sent another email saying they were putting off the announcement until today and hoped word wouldn't get out over the weekend.

Just wondering if anyone had heard any rumours/truths!

Kasabian round 3 maybe? Id love to do the hat-trick there.

Melion

Ian Brown again? I wish

Dolans is the best venue in town for people into their music, no doubt it will be something great.

Well that's your opinion my friend and you are quite entitled to it as am i

True - the world would be a boring place if we all liked the same music.

The operative word being "music"

Heard it's Kings of Leon for a pre Slane gig.

Jesus, I hope not! Saw them a couple of years ago and they were good but the last two albums are absolute muck

Henry Ford III

Mumford & Sons. 16th May.

Jofspring

I hope it isn't them (kings of leon). They must have played a gig every six months for the last 3 years in Ireland. Talk about milking it. They have played Oxegen 3 times? the O2 about 3 or 4 times, slane coming up also.

irishharper

Mumford and sons playing there, may 16th I think is the date!

Meh to be honest. Thought it would be someone better with all the excitement over the anouncement. Don't ask me who I thought it would be but thought it would be better than Mumford and Sons.

Yeah I thought it would be something a bit better,don't get me wrong they're really good but they're not for everyone ..seems a bit of a letdown!

black & white

I'm happy enough with that, will log on later to try for tickets.

RonMexico

Meh...very popular band alright but personally I find them to be as entertaining as an empty beige coloured room. Snore.

Edit: I'm glad Dolans are able to book bands that are the flavour of the day though, there will be a lot of demand and it will be good for business. Just not my cup of tea though.

aranciata

May 16th or March 16th?

And I too have an irrational hatred for them, Mumford should never have cheated on Laura Marling.

Mr E

Wednesday March 16th. Tickets are on sale on Wednesday 23rd (2 days from now).
See Gigs thread here.

leakyboots

Saw them before and they weren't great.. might try and get tickets to this none the less, could be a good gig if it's in Dolans

Mr E

Mumford and Sons confirmed, just got the email from Dolans.

pappyodaniel

M&S... a bit of a 'meh' band alright and I heard they are a terrible live act.
But in fairness they are huge and it's a decent coup for Dolans.

Chong

Anyone know if this is a midnight gig aswell?

bullets

Never heard of them before I read this thread. :eek:

Only googled them a while ago, they sound interesting
one of these bands that you kind of instantly take a liking to
regardless of your musical tastes.

same here. some obscure band from inner Mongolia which you have to like because they are soooo non-mainstream?

DarkJager

Could they not have got someone better? Can't stand Mumford and Sons, prententious crap and that song "The Cave" has ensured they will always get the mute button.

JerryHandbag

What a let down. I was hoping for someone along the lines of Nick Cave or Ian Brown.

Jofspring

They have only had one album out and while it has been successful i certainly wouldn't count them as a big act or anything. Decent band for Dolans to get but certainly not anything for them to have hyped up it being announced. Only for the e-mail saying they'd have to wait till Monday for the big announcement it would probably have gone un-noticed in my eyes and I'm sure similarly a lot of people.

Was hoping it was Stone Sour again myself

this thread started off so well

Ye should call to my parents house next Saturday - myself and my brother Ricky Bobby promised my Mother we'd wash her Mondeo.

So that's the support act sorted. Who's the big act???

Or was this just an attempt by Dolans to generate some publicity....

Ah well, was on Ticketmaster on the dot of 9 but didn't manage to get tickets, must be a slow typer or something. If anyone knows of any spares going please let me know.

Thanks.

Queue of 40 people outside Empire this morning from what I could see... had two laptops on the go and no joy

Anyone successful?

I've been on since 9 and no joy, phoned the helpline and they are saying they have no tickets anywhere not just Dolans! Not that they are sold out. I hate ticketmaster :mad:

amiable

Its like i always say, if you want to go to something badly enough you'll get in

krudler

Not a fan but it'll be cool to have something popular that isnt pop crap like JLS on here, now if only Thomond Park could get a big band that isnt rubbish itd be worthwhile.

bigpink

Its great Dolans brings big names but anyone else think the warehouse is over rated?

In all the money they make its a very poor standard,a small investment and they could have a cracking small live gig venue

Been to gigs there but it cant cope with large crowds at all

Fizman

I was at the Biffy Clyro gig there (Nov 2008 or thereabouts) and it was immense. Full house too and it was a quality night.
