Bud Rising 2005

Evil Sausage

So it seems things are starting to move along with Bud Rising again this year. Running this time from June 1st to June 7th. Which is good as they get in ahead of Oxegen this time! No more delays on the announcement of acts, like last year with King of Leon!

Bud Rising

From having a quick look at Ticketmaster, it seems the following shows have been confirmed:

Roots Manuva
Stephen Fretwell
The Departure, Editors
The Duke Spirit, VHS or Beta
The Magic Numbers, Joe Chester, Jessie & Layla
Tom Vek
Towers of London
Whitey
Beck
British Sea Power, Sons & Daughters
Buck 65, Jose Gonzalez
Dizee Rascal, Black Twang & Daddy G
Engineers
Masters At Work
Monoband

Also confimed is Weezer, which was mentioned in the Weezer post earlier. This seems to be the only show confirmed with a date and venue.

Already looking forward to this festival as much as I did last year!

Beck is playing the Olympia on the 6th June, the one day of the whole year that I can't possibly go.

gutted myself, but everyone should check it out if they can.

Does anyone know when tickets go on sale for these gigs ? Beck for example?

davej

Thanks Karl. :mad:

Like I'll be able to get a ticket now.

Want to tell everyone about us too?

karlh

not just yet honey

don't worry, its not gonna be a 1 hour sell out gig.

i'm so fcuking annoyed about the whole thing i don't want anyone to be able to go.

think i'll have to kill beck.......or kill everyone. if i cant see him.....

i'll decide which after work.

rock angel

Jesus, I cant go either. Think there a jinx here or what?

Would love to go, the new album is really growing on me.

Shame. Maybe he could play another night that suits all here?

karlh

he'll be hobbled 'Misery style', playing a gig just for me in my flat if you want to come along the week after?

i'll be starving him too as punsihment for this though, so better make it wednesday 8th just in case he doesn't make it.

rock angel

Karl am loving your work.....

will you be taking a hammer to his legs ???? and feeding him drugs? as well as starving him.

Maybe we could make the gig in your flat the 10th that suits better.

penexpers

Roots Manuva should be good. Also around that time Matthew Herbert Big Band is playing in Vicar St, that could be part of it too.

Evil Sausage

Looks like we can add

Echo & The Bunnymen
The La's (formally Cast who were formally The La's!!)
British Sea Power, Sons & Daughters

Things seem to be added by the day now! Personally cant wait for Beck, great new album and havent seen him in years! But Im sure theres more to come. Wonder if they will have any of the acts playing in the London Bud Rising playing at the Dublin one?! That means we have another Charlatans Bud Rising gig with a Supergrass gig! Nice one!

Evil Sausage

Can ALSO add in the past hour:

Jimmy Cliff
Justin Robertson & Medicine8
Matthew Herbert Big Band
The Chalets,Therakes,Art Brut
The Hives

€35 for Roots Manvua. ****. That.

Creamy Goodness

weezer sold out already

Roots show is bit pricey alirght, though in fairness to him for the last Ambassador show a few years ago he had the full live set up with string section, the whole lot. That was a really good night thinkin' back, had forgotten about it...

penexpers

Yeah but 35 is really putting him in a price bracket where he doesn't really belong. I'd probably pay 25 max for him (which I believe is what it was the last time).

Evil Sausage

Im sure this is all to do with mcd getting in on this festival this year. If you look at all the gigs that mcd are managing, a lot of them are overpriced, especially compared to last year. Most I spent on a ticket last year was 30 and that was for Kings of Leon in TBMC!

MCD are a pack of thievin bastards!

jmc

MCD booked a lot of the gigs last year as well - it's different venues, promoters etc under the one Bud Rising umbrella. All the prices are up this year. I think Bud must have subsidised the prices last year but haven't done it to the same extent this year.

Evil Sausage

Well I know MCD were unhappy about how Bud Rising was run last year, regarding the venues chosen for some of the bigger acts. Looks like they got what they wanted!

penexpers

As someone pointed out, the last time Roots was over here it was 19 euro. This is just ridiculous.

Echo & the bunnymen added as well.
