Are the announcing the line-up for Slane today?

andrewie · 31-05-2005 10:35am

Yep they're announcing it sometime today.

whiskeyman · 31-05-2005 10:55am

4pm on 2FM I think....

Basq · 31-05-2005 10:56am

No announcement needed!..

Eminem, 50 Cent etc. (and all that sh*te!)

Will definantly be skipping it this year!

skywalker_208 · 31-05-2005 12:27pm

yeah... and if not full rock, at least you'd get singers.
this year?
Eminim doesnt sing... he raps and shouts.
And as for 50 Cent.... can he actually talk, let alone sing?? He just mumbles his way through...

31-05-2005 12:45pm

Yeah but isn't it what the kids want?

Get down to shum hippity hopper muse-ic

skywalker_208 · 31-05-2005 12:50pm

Yea Papa Smut - I can talk real fast and rhyme n sh1t now gimme loadsa money! Hoe

Citizen_Erased · 31-05-2005 12:53pm

Thats one less thing to do this summer

31-05-2005 1:04pm

In fairness, this summer is looking pretty good festival wise. Pixies, Witnness, Electric Picnic, Bud Rising, U2.... On the other hand, one more good thing couldn't hurt. You never know, maybe the whole Eminem thing has just been a ploy so people will be doubly grateful when someone like Dylan or Radiohead is announced. I live in hope....

Citizen_Erased · 31-05-2005 1:05pm

Please try not to mention U2.

blah · 31-05-2005 1:10pm

You mean it's not the crazy frog this year?
Awww

Actually I'm not much of a fan, i just accept that's it's seen as a big gig, just not my thing.

Citizen_Erased · 31-05-2005 1:26pm

Nice one, Lord Mountcharles, another RUBBISH year at Slane.

Yeah, cause that's all there is to hip hop music. Turn off your hearing aid grandpa, you're too stuck in your ways.

Repli · 31-05-2005 6:05pm

Yawn @ the lineup

31-05-2005 6:08pm

Blisterman · 31-05-2005 6:17pm

mayordenis · 31-05-2005 6:28pm

i dont see any him hop there fx i see some rubbish but no hip hop.

Blisterman · 31-05-2005 6:42pm

Theres not a single rock act there.

What are they thinking?

Problem is there are very few rock acts that would fill slane. Maybe they should have a lineup of 5 classics, like Motley Crue or Status Quo (Since I already thought they were performing)

memphis · 31-05-2005 6:57pm

What a load of sh!te.

And I thought last year was bad, this years line-up is terrible.

Can assure ye all I won't be wasting my money to go see that anyway.

bucks · 31-05-2005 7:01pm

It was bound to go down hill after the last U2 slane.
How could you top them.

Blisterman · 31-05-2005 7:03pm

Well 2003 was really good.

ThE_IVIAcIVIAIV · 31-05-2005 7:11pm

olivia thats effin awesome

drdre · 31-05-2005 9:34pm

eminem
50 cent
d12
obie trice
lloyd banks
young buck
stat quo
flipsyde

just hope i get a ticket.
guys what do u think will there be queues for tickets or will they be worth waking up at 8am.

(so excited)

Rabies · 31-05-2005 9:40pm

**** line up. Heard the line up ages ago but was hoping it would be changed.
Gonna be full of scumbags and kids.

CorkMan · 01-06-2005 12:51am

Will the tickets be on sale at ticketmaster outlets nationwide?

Also, where is Slane, is it near Dublin City?

Terrier · 01-06-2005 7:27am

I started the thread so I'll finish the Thread!!
What a load of sh*t!!
