Upcoming concerts thread.

kupus

I think this could go hand in hand with the concert buddy thread.
Its a thread to highlight ALL types of country concerts that are coming up. As we all know its kind of hard to get info for country in Ireland as its a market thats not really serviced well, And any info you need you have to go really out of the way to find it.

So ill begin by highlighting Dolly parton coming to cork belfast and dublin on the10th 11th 12th june

I dont think I need to remind people that Garth brooks is coming!!

Anybody know of any country festivals coming up for the bank holiday?

SusanneKn

Kilkenny Roots Festival is on this May Bank Holiday.

The Greystone Americana & Roots Festival has been post-phoned to next year.

I don't know any other festivals (with that sort of music) in Ireland ...

Halycon days

Kevin Montgomery at the Dublin Conservative Club on Friday the 16th at 8 pm with opening act Clive Barnes. I found this on eventbrite

I am from the south, so I am always up for a country concert and there is one this Friday but I have never heard of this guy and it doesn't look like the almighty lord Google knows much about him either.

More of an FYI than anything, but I'd be happy if anyone here could recommend(or not recommend) him to me.

I am going. I saw him this year in Kilkenny on his own and thought he was very good.

If you like him, you should also check out John Fulbright.
He is playing in Whelans too. (He is not country but americana.)

Thanks for that, I'll check him out.

Have you got a ticket yet? I'm worried it's gonna sell out soon

Yes, I got mine on tickets.ie rather than ticketmaster, as the booking fee is lower on that site. Sturgill is making a name for himself over in the UK and here so personally I wouldn't leave it too late

krustydoyle

So many heading to Whelans Saturday evening??

SusanneKn

I am meant to go, but my friend has to work now. Not sure if I will still go u now.

Dixie Chicks - 4th May 2016 in the 3Arena

Rodney Crowell and Emmylou Harris play the NCH in Dublin in July.

This thread is good. I often find out about US visitor acts too late and kick myself. Will keep a subscription to this.

SusanneKn

Chris Young and Hunter Hayes also have Gigs scheduled for Ireland.

topper75

Emmylou and Rodney were superb.

John Prine plays Ennis (Glór Theatre) in August but I think it may already be sold out.

Anything else good on the horizon?

krustydoyle

Kasey Musgraves is playing the Academy in November i think

Mitch Buchannon

Brad Paisley plays the 3Arena on Saturday 30th July 2016.

This should be a great gig.

SusanneKn

FREDNISMO

MontyChips

Did Brad Paisley ever give a reason for cancellation?? Gutted but can't find any information on his website!

FREDNISMO

Read somewhere it was a scheduling conflict, London and Dublin cancelled two Sweden gigs going ahead I'm still mystified.

Where are people meeting? I'm in my own and wouldn't mind a beer before the gig.

There are a good few people queuing at the side of the road at the moment.

12 October in the academy

CountryGirlIRL

Hi guys, I'm new to the forum. Finally decided to sign up after following if for a long time as guest. Just wondering, anyone going to Frankie Ballard in October? I also have tickets to Thomas Rhett in November but to be honest the more I listen to his music, the less I want to go to his gig in november. Gutted about lee brice - that would have been good!

krustydoyle

Margo Price plays the button factory on the 22nd January..

jack presley

Just got my ticket for the Friday night Country2Country gig via the 3 presale.

I'm not really a big country music fan so don't know much about many of the acts on over the weekend but I am a big ZBB fan and have never seen them play before so I'm looking forward to this.

Would have great if Darius was on the Friday too as I'd love to see him as well.

LoonyLovegood

I'm gonna have to get a three day ticket, looks like a good lineup!

The Raptor

Thomas Rhett is playing Vicar Street this week. He's worth checking out.
