    Yeah must go about getting a ticket. But unsure though, dunno if like his versions enough at the same time.

    Bob Marley ever play here? I know he spent some years in England so a good chance he did.

    I figure it's worth 20 quid to hear millionaire sung properly, josh is cool and all, but his vocals don't cut it

    Have Heart ever play here?

    I’ve seen them here back in the 80s but trying to remember who they played with. I’m fairly sure they played support to Stevie Nicks in 89 here even though Richard Marx is listed as her support on the European leg of the tour.

    He played Dalymount.

    I think it was one of his last concerts ever

    Don't think the Kings of Convenience have ever played here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,664 ✭✭✭TheDocMan


    Just wondering if any of these played:
    Against Me
    Husker Du
    Refused
    Front 242

    I'm sure they probably have. I live in the arse-hole of nowhere and they've played here twice.

    Did Captain Beefheart, Grateful Dead or Arthur Lee ever make it here?


    Love with Arthur Lee played in Dublin in the Noughties.

    I take it Kate Bush would be another artist not to have played in Ireland,due to her minimal gig performances?

    Did the Cocteau Twins ever play Ireland, I know they played a few T in the Parks but I don't know if they crossed over and played Witnness or Oxegen, I know Liz Frazer toured with Massive Attack this year and at Electric Picnic 2006.

    If you want to get into it, you got to get out of it. (Hawkwind 1982)

    My older sister saw them in mid eighties. I'm pretty certain it was in the SFX.
    They played again the Tivoili around 92.
    I wasn't quick enough to get tickets to that gig unfortunately.

    Sex Pistols?

    Electric Picnic was the first time they played here. They were meant to play in or around 1996 but that got cancelled for some reason. I don't know about the 76-78 era.
    Jonny said at the start of the EP performance "they finally let us in" I presume he was talking about being let into Ireland.

    Hendrix.

    Belfast. My dad bootlegged it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 621 ✭✭✭dohboy


    Lorde hasn't played here yet. Bit of an anomaly for a big pop act.
