She did Thomond Park, Limerick a few years ago and all worked out so I'm sure they could work it out logistically if necessary.

Muse have a new album out next year. I am expecting hoping that they will tour Europe.

There's no way whatsoever thesedays that Metallica could fill Slane. Even the RDS would be pushing it for them now and that's not even half the capacity.

Hopefully he finally does and we can put 2014 too rest

PTH2009

its the same each year regards Brooks is he coming back etc

Last we heard was he tried to do the 5 shows again in Croke Park this year but was shut down and he is still Adamant on doing the 5 shows. Someone tell him its impossible and we have no Goveners in Ireland that can change peoples minds

What would be ideal for him would be to an Ed Sheeran/Springsteen on it and do a nationwide tour of Ireland in 2019. it had been a huge sucess for Aiken and the artist involved. 3 Shows in Phoenix Park/Aviva, 3 Shows in PUC Cork, maybe shows in Limerick or Galway and Belfast. Prob Logistics etc would come into play as the his stage is suppose to be huge

Outside of Brooks, i wonder will Bruce tour in 2019 ???. next year marks the 35th Anniversary of BITU

Vampire Weekend touring again. Hopefully they come to Ireland

I heard Coldplay for Slane, they wouldn't be my cup of tea anyway.

I am waiting impatiently for an announcement from P!nk as is almost every other female I know between the age of 16 and 45. They'd hardly put her in Slane would they? She'd definitely sell out Croke Park.

I know it's controversial and he said never again but Bruce in Slane, could it happen? (Please say yes). Slane is much safer now than it was in the 80s

Hopefully not. I never want to have to go to another gig in Slane ever again.

Bruce is in Broadway until December anyway.

Why do comedy gigs tend to get announced so far in advanced? I've been to a few gigs now where the tickets were announced 12 months before the gig itself. Are they just slow sellers in general? Bill Bailey is the latest - gig isn't until June next year but tickets on sale tomorrow.

It's because they tour so many venues for such an extended period. As an example Bill Bailey is starting his tour in London in five months so to prevent more devoted fans buying tickets to go and see him away from their home town and subsequently finding out tickets are on sale in their local venue down the line, they announce the whole tour.

I'll never go to Slane again unless it's for Pearl Jam. Horrible venue for a gig.

You would be wrong, they would easily fill it, they will be playing here next year and i say it will be Slane, if not Croke Park.:cool:

Coldplay will be a much better option for Slane imo

Metallica I'd like to see play the Aviva or RDS (think it's been redeveloped in 2019 though) but I think it will be a field venue such as Marley Park or somewhere like that

I'd kill for Pearl Jam to play Dublin

They could curtain off sections like they did for the stones and RHCP but that could be even pushing it

2019 will be 10 years since there last Dublin show (hard to believe) and a lot will of Irish fans will go

Please god just let Garth Brooks come back and finally put the past behind us

Last I've heard is he still wants his 5 dates in Croke Park and stupidly thinks the "govener of Dublin" will allow it

Would his stage setup fit in PUC, Thomond Park etc

I'd be confident they'd easily shift 50k+ making it worthwhile for the promoter, I don't get it like they were bi-annually flogging 25-30k+ in the noughties and they haven't been here in 10 years! Why the underestimation of them? a massively commercial rock band that I couldn't see being turned down should they be available. I'd prefer they did the 3.O2 but can't see it happening.

Help!!!!

If they said they were going to just play songs up to the 'black' album they would fill Croker. Most old fans have gotten tired of the same sh1te. They are overly commercial & Lars puts a lot of people off.

The last time they were here they didn't sell out marlay park, why do you think that ten years later they would have double the fan base, are Metallica even relevant to young people anymore?? Would there be a demand for them from people who were 13-15 last time they came??

Also no large outdoor gigs sold out this summer except for Sheeran, the ole ole crew seem to be dwindling with the rising cost of tickets/hotels in Dublin.

30,000?? I'd say definitely
50,000?? Only with a really strong support act/s

80,000??? I very much doubt it.......

I don't doubt it despite not selling out Marlay park last time in Dublin the reality is they played 08,09,Belfast in 10 which were 2 sold out shows, 4 shows in 21 months, I didn't go to any of them I've still seen them 7 times would I go to see them for one last hurrah? Likely...

Support acts have mattered very little to Metallica shows from what I've witnessed over the years of course would be nice to get more bang for my buck.

AC/DC was far from full in 1996 point show, fast forward to 09 tickets were like gold dust they played Punchestown a few months after to take advantage of demand. Similar no?

Tbh ACDC have a wider commercial audience then Metallica.

If Metallica do play next year they wont be anywhere near Croker or Slane , as said even with a strong support they couldnt come near to selling either venues out. Malahide or the 3 Arena would be best shot for them these days

For whatever reason AC/DC weren't as big a draw in 1996, but were extremely popular draw again back in 2009. Musical culture and popularity changes over time and at that first time - the mid nineties - AC/DC could have been perceived as being a bit old fashioned and out of step with the musical times. Not that they weren't still a huge band, but they were clearly in a bit of furrow popularity wise, it didn't help that they released perhaps their worst ever album at the time.

But if you keep on doing the same thing over and over again, eventually things will swing back your way again - you'll be cool again. A newer generation of music fans discovered their music - along with a lot of other classic rock - in the noughties and then they released a semi-decent album, after many years inactivity, and add all that to the pre-existing fans and - viola - AC/DC were absolutely huge again. A lot of things just went right timing wise.

Metallica just aren't as popular as AC/DC. They don't have as wide an appeal: they're more metal. I was at that gig at Punchestown and for a large portion of the crowd I reckon that was their one gig of the year, but yet they still came out: AC/DC, at that moment in time, had across the board appeal.

As for Metallica, you'd be hard pressed to get many of the same day trippers to turn up in a field in Meath to listen to choice cuts off Ride The Lightning. I'm not slagging them off here, they're absolutely one of the greatest bands of all time IMO and no doubt there's enthusiasm for a gig here - I'd go myself! - but Metallica's salad days of filling a place like Slane are absolutely over. And I don't know if they'll get the chance to experience a resurgence in popularity like AC/DC did - every passing year rock music seems less culturally relevant. And I say that with sadness!

Been a while since Bon Jovi played Dublin and they recently finished there North American leg of the 'this house is not for sale' tour and play in Japan/Austraila in Nov/Dec this year

Could see them tour Europe in 2019

Would they sell a stadium date here without Richie Sambora ??? (Slane 2013 was on sale before he left)

Overkill, Destruction, Flotsam & Jetsom & MESHIAAK play The Academy in Dublin next March, tickets on sale Friday July 6th @ 10 am, €35 + booking fee.

Well I think your wrong - Testament sold out Vicar st this year and Slayers last show is on the way to selling out having previously only managed Academy/Olympia dates on last trips.

Ride the Lightning choice cuts ridiculous - Escape and Trapped Under Ice? Not Gonna happen...The title track,Fade to Black,For Whom the Bell Tolls,Creeping Death is what they'd choose from.

Find out in September anyway

I doubt most people would know/care if he was there TBH.
they could probably do 40k in the RDS, or 50k in the Aviva. wouldn't think Croker would be a runner.

That they're going to play Slane?

No chance mate. I'll literally bet you 100 euro.

No joke.

Thunder77

I think there coming next year, JBJ did say recently they were planning to tour Europe in 2019 and they always come here but i would have my doubts about seeing them in a stadium as his voice is not what it was and he can't hit the high notes anymore and from the clips i have seen on You tube he is def struggling to keep his voice intact

Nope that they play the larger field.

I'll take that bet may as well be for a Metallica ticket.

3arena,Malahide,Marlay,Kilmainham,Iveagh Gardens you win.

Phoenix Park,RDS,Slane,Aviva,Croker I win?

Obvs they have to come summer 2019.
