Arthur Guinness Day 2011

Agent Oso

Hi Guys,

Just wondering if anyone can help. Is there a date set for Arthur Guinness day this year, had a blast last year am expecting it to be the same Thursday this year, just can’t seem to find anything online! Any help would be much appreciated!

Ta!

Dermo

It will probably be the 22nd or 23rd this year. Why is your text so big? It's annoying, weird and a potential ignore list reason

Agent Oso

Whoopsy, I was inbetween work and my boss was floating around so I typed it in outlook and done a copy paste job!

Sorry for hurting the eyes it is quite annoying!

niall1976

August 4th via Ticketmaster. As stated above. You won't know who is playing where tho. Paloma Faith has not been confirmed for Whelans just confirmed to play somewhere.

Hey Folks

This is my first year to go to this so any suggestions of best venue etc or is it just pot luck. Dont mind who we see but would like a good venue.

I know it is confirmed now but I doubt they would have it on a friday or saturday any year if they can manage it, purely for marketing reasons, i.e. the pubs are busy fridays & saturdays anyway, and the proper venues would get higher prices on fridays & saturdays too.

Its weird how much these subsidised gigs annoy people, I never saw nearly the same upset caused by the bud rising and heineken green energy gigs -also subsidised to have cheap tickets. I just view whole aurthurs "day" as tongue in cheek.

I wouldnt be surprised if there was an Arthurs festival or something like that in the next few years

Aren't the acts playing the main venues usually announced before tickets go on sale and then they each play a secret venue later in the night?

Furious-Red

Tickets go on sale at 9am on 4th August but we'll have a special announcement for our Facebook fans at 4pm today...

Yeah I know - not sure which venue would be the best - never been before.

Standard Toaster

Wouldn't mind seeing Stereophonics play, likely the Storehouse.

Pre-sale tix were gone in seconds this morning, as usual.

kala85

Any word on who is playing in galway ?

SB-08

Wouldn't mind seeing the Stereophonics for only 15 quid. Anyone know if the headliners actually play a full set or if it's just 30 mins - an hour?

Not a full set, from memory they do about 45mins I think and the support do about 30mins, someone else may remember better though.

Who is playing Cork?

hulkeverton

any idea oif calvin harris is a dj set or is he actually performing?? and how soon will the tickets sell out??

It will be a DJ set, he said a while back he would never perform live again.

stevire

Has anyone managed to get tickets? Tried a few venues but seem to be sold out, I had a presale code yesterday and it was the same story. Is it sold out already??

Standard Toaster

Managed to get x2 for Dakota. Anywhere else were sold out.

Phoenix Park

Is it on a Thursday each year to keep the publicans happy or for any other reason (there probably is some bullsh1t official reason)?. With certain numbers of people always going out on a Friday and Saturday would it just be seen as a "waste" of a potential earner to have it on a weekend night?. Realistically i can't go out boozing on a Thursday and a few mates are the same, so don't end up going near Arthur's Day.

JJ

I got a ticket in the presale and figure that if I don't like any of the acts at the venue I have tickets for, I could look around Toutless or Twitter for anyone who wants to trade.

It's probably because it's cheaper to rent out the venues on a Thursday night rather than Friday or Saturday.

stargazer 68

Anyone got any idea if and where Roy 7 are playing?

drunkmonkey

Has anyone managed to get Sterophonics tickets, I was trying to get some yesterday and ticketmaster says there's none available. Same story today...anyone know what's going on...I had the voucher for the early tickets.

Just tried calling ticketmaster and the say there's none available. ??

They were all hardly sold out yesterday before they even went on sale??

There was probably a limited number of presale tickets aswell, I got tickets for Dakota in the end (thanks to Standard Toasters post!!). Never know, given it's name Stereophonics might show up for a few songs!

Limited number of tickets went on pre-sale. I had two codes and was on two computers put one code in at 9.00 and the other in 30 seconds later and the tickets were gone for the second code. Still managed to get tickets on the first code so happy days!

ergo

any rumours on who will be playing Whelan's...?
