Rumours the boss will play here in the 3arena near the end of 2019. Not with the E street band though

I have thought this for a few months now
they have also retweeted / liked a lot of posts on Twitter where fans are speculating the same

Snow Patrol are doing a small venue / acoustic / reworked tour in winter not sure if that will fall into the 2019 part of winter or spill into 2020

Summer outdoor show in the RDS possibly

are they ever gonna drop the "and Adam Lambert" bit.

Lots of bands change members/singers.
Surely there's nobody going who's gonna be suprised to see it's not Freddy Mercury singing.
And I can't think reminding people that Adam Lambert is there boosts ticket sales.

Any idea why they do it?

It's Queen + Adam Lambert, the very same way they billed it as Queen + Paul Rodgers; in that way, they're seen as collaborators, not "new" members of Queen.

Mmmm I think it works for both parties. Adam Lambert wants to keep building his brand and getting his name out there and Queen want to retain their brand as a four piece (albeit with two now).

As a huge Queen fan, I've avoided seeing these iterations of their tour but I think after all the great reviews, I'll finally bite the bullet and go so hopefully they'll play next year.

Is it too much to hope for that they’ll play Slane 2020?! Seen them both times they’ve played here in 3arena and Marlay Park and they were fantastic. Really hoping they come back next year.

Most gigs being announced now are for next year - can we make this a sticky?

Explosions in the Sky in February at Vicar Street

Do Explosions in the sky have any songs with lyrics?

I'd just know their Friday Night Lights stuff

No, don't think so (samples with speech would be about it)

The FNL stuff is very representative of their usual stuff

Westlife planning another UK/Ire summer tour for 2020

Doing a nationwide one would be up there alley
PUC in Cork or Thomond Park
Perse Stadium Galway
Nowlan Park Kilkenny (Instead of a Dublin gig)
A Northern Irish outdoor venue

Yes likely to be Croke Park again with Cork, Belfast and Galway also

Dublin will be the first venture for Slipknot on their 2020 tour, they've sent around a cryptic email that's easily sussed, Dublin followed by Manchester so no Belfast for those wondering.

So expect official confirmation quite soon.

Gojira, volbeat and behemoth supporting in the states on the current tour.... now that’s a lineup that I’d be very interested in if that’s what makes it way here.

Especially gojira I think they’d put on a fantastic show in any anywhere near full 3 Arena.

Think they are the most realistic from those too, would be sweet

Probably makes sense to leave a summer 2020 tour announcement until Christmas.

Reckon they will go hard with this anniversary ballax and have documentarys, limited edition this and that etc too accompany the tour and make a nice final cash day

Cheapest tickets (including fees) seem to be around the 57 euro mark! I'm not sure if i'm just mean but this seems a bit steep?

Those toupees dont come cheap

Can see Slane 2020 been announced sometime in the autumn with AC/DC been the headliners

Really hard to guess who will be touring next year. Rumours of Guns N Rose's, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band and Pearl Jam touring Europe in the summer of 2020. Paul McCartney maybe in Europe

Wishlist for 2020 for gigs here
Tool
Alter Bridge
Bruce Springsteen
Garth Brooks (although think that ship has sailed and hes happier touring stateside and making his millions there)
Pearl Jam

DarMul17

AC/DC in Slane I wouldn't bother seeing. Easier to get a flight from Shannon to a Manchester or London show or connect.

I read somewhere that Bruce Springsteen wouldn't be touring for the Western Stars album, which is a pity, but I'm hopeful.

Tool new album, I could see a tour announcement, wouldn't surprise me. Pearl Jam always rumoured but doesn't happen. Beck might make another stop with his new album out in November. GNR might return is a rumour online.

My bucket list would be tool, Sigur Ros (completely silent for the last few years), M83 (new album in a few weeks) and The Smashing Pumpkins (don't think it will happen)

At Foos Fighters, I asked a guy with MCD about any gigs coming up and he said there will be announcements in September. Wouldn't tell me anything when asked about Slane.

Surely MCD announce gigs all the time so that’s hardly much to go on?
