Thin Lizzy are announcing a Dublin date shortly - not sure if the Darkness are on that too, but should be announced in the next few days....

Presume they will play the Olympia so cant seeing Darkness supporting them

Disappointing line up this year imo, although it is nice that they're catering to a lot of different audiences.

Wonder will Clutch play with Thin Lizzy. If that came to the Olympia itd be immense.

doubt it Mush, they aren't doing the next set of UK dates, it's The Treatment and Black Spiders......

Furious - it's still possible, if the date is beside the Belfast date, could be a co-headliner.....maybe they'll try and bump up the venue and try add some other bands to the bill....

Black Spiders wouldnt be bad either. Odd it isnt Clutch as they in Europe in late May/June.

:cool: Hope they will play the 02 Dublin on the saturday nite rather than EP
Rather see them at a proper indoor gig.

G-Money

Saw the Darkness in the Olympia in December, best gig I've been to in years, including Noel Gallagher about a month earlier in the same venue. Hoping they come back to play it again this year.

These guys would be perfect addition to Thin Lizzy/Darkness gig :D

Well there are "Special Guests" tbc . If they did get announced id be there in seconds

aka accounts 2010

I went over to see Thin Lizzy, Clutch and Triggerfinger in the Apollo in London a few weeks and it was an unbelievable gig. The atmosphere, the performance and the stage show was immense!!! Really hope a Dublin gig is announced. If not I'll head to Belfast..

Agreed.

I've seen Madness once before - Trip To Tipp '94. It was brilliant

It was 1993, I was there myself. Chris De Burgh wasn,t impressed that night
when chants of Madness,Madness could be clearly be heard near the end of his
set.. Great Days.. Jesus, just realised it was 19 years ago, time flies when you,re having fun:):)

Thats really weird since i was just thinking The Answer would be perfect for the special guest slot on that day . I think they will need to find another bigish act to slot under Lizzy now

If You Click On The Link It Says "The Answer will be playing playing along side Thin Lizzy & The Darkness"
