St Johns Church line up for Other Voices. Not a spectacular list this year. I guess, given the sponsorship problem this isnt surprising.

David Keenan

I think sponsorship is only a recent thing, and seems to be sponsorship now of the music trail. David Keenan and Loah are quite good, wouldn't know others too well.

Not sure if more will be added but Other Voices Ballina in September seemed to have a stronger line up. Guess a lot of it is down to who's touring Ireland around the time.

There is a lot of talented people on the list, but compared to acts that have played in previous years, it is a big step back

*Rumour* : Below just a rumour so may be nothing in it..

Below acts are playing All Points East in London on 2nd June. Forbidden Fruit usually takes place same weekend of June bank holiday. Could potentially see some of these acts play there or else their own headline show in around same time.

There was a good bit of crossover between the two festivals last year. Bon Iver headlined FF in 2017 so can't see him back again so soon. Mac Demarco could be a contender to play one of the nights though.

I've my fingers crossed they will be back in September for Sounds from a Safe Harbour and maybe his new project Big Red Machine so would be great if they played either or ideally both!

Yeah think FAK, Julien Baker and Mac Demarco have all played here last couple of months but could well be back in the summer. Think Tallest Man On Earth is due a gig here alright as it's been a few years but dunno would he fit in with Forbidden Fruit

Caught Big Red Machine last week in NYC.

It's just thrown together and not really reflective of the album. I really wouldn't bother with it. It's like they didn't practice at all. Alot of improvising which didn't pan out.

Inviting other artists to play along while their electric guitars aren't even plugged in to an amp or even a wireless system.

the Eaux Claires reviews were similar, for them and various other acts that were collaborating over the weekend, a few even commented that it was their first time playing together. very haphazard.

Would they have it in them to sell croke park out now was actually surprised to hear they were playing Wembley (not sure how that's sold to date),

Think all 3 nights at Wembley are sold out. Not sure how they would do here though.

Those dates aren't really sold out .
They have held back thousands of tickets.

Yeah the usual but they ain't struggling to sell.

Ah really, that's disappointing. Yeah you'd think at minimum they would practice

I guess they haven't had time. Justin (Bon Iver) was playing in Paris only two nights before the gig. So flights and then having to meet up with Aaron (The National) and others in NYC and then practicing was very rushed.

Lisa Hannigan was also there and they played a PEOPLE song that she wrote. It was lets say.. messy and incoherent.

I'll stick to solo Bon Iver and The National gigs in the future.

wowy

dEUS playing the Academy on 10th May - 20th anniversary tour of The Ideal Crash. Same night as the Manics in the Olympia - there'd surely have been crossover there in the audience.

I've heard this also. Possibility of second gig if first sells well too.

What a waste...

Spice girls and then two nights of Westlife.

It'll sell but would rather something else.

Croke Park would never get away with having 4 gigs there again next year?

If it is true there won't be a 2nd date.

I don't think 2018 Spice Girls could sell out both when Taylor Swift can't.

That's your three dates.

But what a waste.

Do venues like RDS and Aviva have a limit of number of concerts they can hold like Croke Park?

ghostdancer

no, nowhere has a limit on how many concerts it can hold.
Croke Park can have as many as it likes if it gets applies for and gets a licence, same as anywhere else.
there have been more than 3 gigs/non-sports events a year at Croke Park a number of times, there were 4 last year....

Ah thought there was something about 3 a year in Croker. So they can in theory but in reality is never more than 4 say?

ghostdancer

they have something set up for 3 events automatically getting licences per year, then after those 3 they have to apply for each licence individually, or something like that. The Rolling Stones gig this year had to go through the complete licensing process, Michael Buble (1 gig) and Taylor Swift (2 gigs) had the 3 initial licences.

there were 7 licences granted the Garth Brooks year I think? 2 of the 5 Brooks ones were refused, which would have made 9 non-sporting events, from what I can remember. Brooks cancelled all 5 concerts in the end, so only 4 non-sporting events went ahead that year (3 One Direction and some motorbike show thing?).
