Oh God I hope not. But as said above, MCD will probably take the cheap and easy option and go for some Irish band that have no relevance to AC/DC fans.

Yeah, they will take the cheap option I guess seeing as the gig is already sold out, no need to sell more tickets by adding big name band / bands to line-up.

If they go Irish I'd like to see either Therapy or Black Star Riders and maybe somebody like The Strypes.

As suggested the Darkness would be really suitable support also.

Well the rumour is The Darkness are playing the Daytripper festival in Waterford this year. It's typically on the first weekend of July so I wouldn't be surprised if they played Dublin on July 1st with AC/DC.

Black Star Riders? Irish?
4 Americans and 1 Northern Irishman.

Yeah, I guess your right, its just the whole Thin Lizzy songs thing. There is one Irish man in there. Anyway who cares, I was just making a suggestion.

The Darkness would be a great support I guess.

PTH2009

Still no word on any support acts and the concert is a month or so away

Shop40

On the tour wiki page, an American Blues band Vintage Trouble will be supporting them til 7 June…no info yet on the supports after that. Wouldn't be surprised if it's them again though.

I saw Vintage Trouble on Jools Holland a few years back. They'd be nice to listen to for 30 minutes or so to ease into the evening.

Saw them with Bon Jovi in 2011 in the rds. Pretty good

villa2008

Vintage Trouble just confirmed that they will be supporting AC/DC on another 14 dates including Dublin. I've seen these guys twice over here at The Academy and Whelan's and they were great. Some great songs. Roll on the 1st of July.

Vintage Trouble a good support act, quality band.

The one thing I am struggling with is accommodaton for that night, jez the prices in Dublin are scary for that night, due to the concert I'm guessing.

Even considering a room at Trinity, anyone ever taken that option?

I realise there are a lot of places out there, but many are too expensive and too far away (hotels that is).
I like the idea of being within walking distance to somewhere to stay once the gigs over, don't fancy the mayhem of trying to get a taxi to take me 15miles away.

dashcamdanny

There are places in the link for 65e?? Thats not expensive for anywhere in Ireland and a 5 min taxi trip from the Avia

Thanks for that, might check that one out.

Good luck with that, as they say.

Landsdowne is fairly well connected to public transport. It won't be a huge problem to walk into town and connect to anywhere, or get a bus or DART out of town after the gig.

Hi there,

I've two seated tickets (upper region) for the 1st of July gig in the Aviva. I would prefer standing, so wondering if anyone is interested in swapping a pair of standing tickets?

Thanks.

The warm up has started for me. I've created a playlist for my iPod of the current setlist. Can't feckin' wait!

Hi all,

Long time listener, first time caller as they say.

I'm going to this gig, driving up from Limerick on Wednesday afternoon. Can't wait! Finish work at 2pm, hop in the car and off to the Aviva. 2 questions, if anybody could help.

1) What would be my best options for parking/driving near the Aviva, coming from the Limerick side? Or what would be good options for me, coming from Limerick, hitting Dublin around 5-ish?
2) Any ideas of what time the gig will start? Would I have time to grab some food, etc, before Vintage Trouble hit the stage (obviously, I'm going to see AC/DC, but that's a cool support act too)?

Cheers y'all!

hhhmmmm ... coming from Limerick , you'll be coming into Dublin via the N7 I reckon. That means you'll come in via the Naas Rd. If I were you Id park the car at the Red Cow Park and Ride and get the Luas down to the O2 / Point (last stop on the line) ... then walk across the East Link Bridge to the Aviva.

http://www.luas.ie/red-cow-car-park.html


If you want to stay in the car , I would stay on the N7 , flow straight through M50 junction and then come down the Long Mile Rd , onto the Canal and follow that right down to Baggot St. / Haddington Rd area. There's street parking around the canal area / haddington Rd. It Yellow Zone Park (highest Demand) - €2.90 per hour valid until 7pm (after 7pm it's free)




Canal / Haddington Rd



It's 5pm so it's going to be heavy traffic to matter what route you take.

Would love to get tickets for this! Going to be an awesome gig
