A return maybe Coldplay, Garth Brooks, Kings Of Leon, RHCP could do headline also

The Nal wrote: » Yeah unfortunately gigs have moved on and Slane just isn't a runner anymore. I'm not precious at all but its so poorly organised. No facilities, toilets are a nightmare, booze is a joke, food is dog**** and the last slap in the face is always the handful of students hired as security they have "helping" people leave. Gig is over at 11.30 and the last few times I haven't got out of the carpark before 3am. A free for all.

PTH2009 wrote: » amazing to think of some of the past headliners Bryan Adams 2000- this year and for the past few years he has played smaller venues such as the Marquee and the 3arena Stereophonics 2002- Popularity went down a lot in recent years. Madonna 2004- Not as popular now and for the last few years. could not even sell out the Aviva stadium a few years ago Kings Of Leon 2011- Were the big thing back then but struggled to sell out Marley Park last year Bon Jovi 2013- popularity has gone down a lot since Richie Sambora left the band and wont sell enough tickets to be considered headliners at the venue. Foo Fighters (2015) and the RHCP (2003 headliners, 2001 support) may be in the same boat for Other past headliners David Bowie is sadly not with us anymore. Queen and Thin Lizzy have new frontmen and are in no way big enough to headline the venue anymore (although the new Thin Lizzy supported KOL in 2011). Neil Young and Bob Dylan are not big enough anymore and play smaller venues here now. REM, The Verve and Oasis are broke up and dont look like they will reform. Robbie Williams and Eminem ?????. U2, Guns N Roses, The Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen & the ESB would still sell out the venue if they headlined again Praying to every god that something happens with the Distillery construction and that no show will take place there this year because i really want to see Guns N Roses in Ireland next year but i have a sneaky feeling that they will be the headliners in 2017 The boat has passed for AC/DC to headline. Garth Brooks would not be suited for the venue. Metallica and few other metal bands such as Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath etc are not popular enough here. Green Day and Pearl Jam (supported Neil Young in 1993) have a chance but are very doubtful.
