evilivor

Christy bleedin' Moore!

In fairness you could announce him for 2014 as well.

I think he'll keep playing there until I relent and go and see him. So he could be there for a long while yet.

I wonder will they announce any more before Christmas. I believe Neil Young and Crazy Horse are touring in 2013 - that I'd go to.

Hasn't he been a few times now? They could do with a proper big act to capture the imagination again, it's been very lifeless the past year or two...

According to Jim Carroll on Twitter it'll be nine years in a row.

Ya, just heard on radio he's played each year... Yawn.

They should bring back Meatloaf, and I also think rick astley should play there or the Rewind Festival lads great show of all the golden oldies

evilivor

Elton John, Elvis Costello, ZZ Top announced today.

Flesh Gorden

Very very interested in heading to Costello and ZZ Top
hopefully both are under the €50 mark, get the feeling they won't be.

Not sure if he brings it on the road anymore, but I'd head to ZZ Top just to see Pearly Gates: his 59' Gibson Les Paul; it's closest I'll ever get to a real one which is worth the admission alone.

They haven't announced the prices yet which is worrying - makes me think they won't be cheap.

gimmick

Whatever about ZZ Top, no way will Elvis Costello be less than €50. I would guess he will be €75ish.

Went to the Elton John show in 2011, enjoyed it.

Would consider going again if I can pick up a ticket towards the end of December.

Dara O Brian was brilliant this year.

Hopefully there will be one or two good acts next year.

I notice Ticketmaster have no breakdown of the different ticket prices up yet ,which is strange,I'm assuming there will be standing tickets like last year ,I'm not a fan of all seated gigs.

evilivor

Elvis Costello - Price Range: €33.50 - €60.45

Cheaper than I expected it to be.

JP Liz V1

Milly33
