kings of leon in slane

jazoo

I know this is a bit early but are there usually private buses operating for the slane gig in the meath area on the day from various towns across meath...really really dont wanna drive.

NufcNavan

Yes. I would recommend Carolan's Coach hire personally. Used them for the Oasis gig and there was no problems.

On this who the hell is the support acts!? Kings of Leon alone for €90 is day light robbery unless they get a decent line up of 2/3 big bands and then the generic crap bands early on.

I think Thin Lizzy and possibly Metallica

They are far from confirmed so it may just be rumour.

MCD announcing it today at 4, any ideas who yet? Dont think metallica and thin lizzy will make an appearance!

Metallica are too big to support KOL, anyway most people going to that gig only want to hear Sex on Fire and Use Somebody so I don't they will get Metallica one bit. The likes of The Script or some middle of the road tosh.
On the issue of the price KOL tickets are dearer than the Oasis tickets two years ago.
Plus went to see KOL in the Point in December and they were over €75 and in the same venue 12 months previously I seen Kasabian for €38, so maybe KOL are overpriced robbing b***ards

so thin lizzy was right! stil totally overpriced, generic and boring! Oasis/Prodigy/Kasabian 2 years ago was a much better line-up!

Think its a drinking session in the town instead of actually going to the gig for me!

Oasis/Prodigy/Kasabian/Blizzards/Glasvegas, what a day that was.
Elbow second on the bill aren't as good as The Blizzards or Glasvegas. I seen The Whigs supporting KOL at the Point in December, they basically started and finished and that was it.. easily forgettable.
Thin Lizzy without Lynott and Bell isn't Thin Lizzy. It be like Tony McCarroll, Bonehead and Paul McGuigan reforming Oasis tomorrow and expecting people to take them seriously and not just as a tribute act.

Elbow are way better than The Blizzards!!!

not a hope. its an outdoor concert. noone wants to be listening to dull dreary sh1t. they have a few good tunes. but not a band to get you hyped up in any way

If you're in Navan theres a good gig (on paper) in the Round O starting at midday til 6 (I think) with Big Generator, Bomberband, 9 inch Trio, Furry Gilberts and others. I'm looking forward to that more than KOL and it'll save me 90 quid.

Sorry, we're all entitled to our own opinion but this really is laughable ^
