That's a good one jimbo. He seems to be popular and doing well for himself. Website ain't working or I'm missing something....can't buy tickets anyway, I read they are on sale.

If you genuinely don't know him Twas probably easier just google him than say who? He's not huge star but sells out places here.

Fat fingers.

PTH2009 · 14-12-2018 12:53pm

He's like a more adult version of Ed Sheeran, he's fairly big in Ireland and does very radio friendly songs. Not my cup of tea but he will sell a few tickets.

I could be wrong but didnt he play support at the 1st or 2nd daytripper festival ??

Still room for ub40 and smash hits too play one of the days lol

Oh i know that. I wouldn't call it sarcastic wit though. Kinda More of just a bitter bitter little man that loves giving out about absolutely everything.

Perfectly suited to my bleak environs so. Enjoy the Ed Sheeran striptease lads. Only 40 bucks a ticket.

Bluezar · 06-02-2019 2:26pm

Hearing whispers of a certain former Headliner who are celebrating a huge anniversary year in 2019! My favourite band of all time who I am already booked to go see in London in August.

Not bad but speculation it's a Manchester born act. Ian Brown of Stone Roses games maybe ?

Anyway TBA on 2fm at midday tomorrow

Jenny Green and the 48 piece RTE Concert Orchestra just announced as Headliners for the Friday. Great news!

"Ever since catching their amazing debut at Electric Picnic in 2016, we have been trying to bring this amazing show to Daytripper. Since then they have sold 40,000 tickets in Dublin, 25,000 tickets in Cork, 12,000 tickets in Killarney and 8,000 tickets in Galway. Finally, the 48 piece RTE Concert Orchestra will be making their South East debut on Friday, 31 May, playing all your favourite dance music classics of the 90s with DJ Jenny Greene and vocalist Gemma Sugrue. That night is also the 40th Anniversary of 2FM so some added surprises are promised for this PARTY of all parties ! Tickets are on sale at 9am tomorrow at www.daytripper.ie and No. 21, The Glen, Waterford"

I actually think it will be class to be honest... Their shows at other events have been really well received from anything I've heard.

Have you seen the show ?

Few friends said this was the highlight of electric picnic when they were there. Concept is fantastic if you ask me.

€50 + to see this in Dublin/Limerick and Cork

Youtube vids look good

ConcertKing · 07-02-2019 1:54pm

Absolutely the worst concert I have ever seen when I went to this at the Marquee a few years go and that is even if you can call it a concert.

Jenny just presses a button god sake!

The RTE Concert Orchestra are talented and Gemma had a great voice but she barely sings.

€50 plus to see this is absolute robbery!!!

PTH2009 · 07-02-2019 3:59pm

yeah a bit disaponting but i should of known it with be announced on 2fm

Hoping for a big act for the final night. Thin Lizzy (obv without the legend Philo) are touring again and would be brillent

People are really exited to see a washed up 80s Ska band play a carpark? They've already played Daytripper before. It's not worth paying if they're going be having the same acts all the time

Whether you rate them or not, its hardly realistic to dismiss them as has-beens.

They've played several high-profile gigs including BBC NYE in last number of years and have been releasing critically-acclaimed albums into the naughties.

With their back calalogue alone, they are a very good live band to have.

Saw them few years ago, they are excellent, might go see them again.

Madness are not a ska band they are ska influenced which is why they had a long career they mix different styles of music to make their own kinda sound rather than a one trick pony like other actually ska bands.

Isn't it nice for those of us who missed them first time around to have a second chance?

PTH2009 · 18-02-2019 1:55pm

Not bad, saw them the last time and liked it

Bank holiday Sunday with Waterford playing Limerick in the hurling the same day possibly in Walsh Park. City will be hoping.

Might look into going myself

Flow Motion · 20-02-2019 12:19pm

TBH Madness are a good live act and fairly high profile albeit a bit retro. Only has to look @ their recent Glastonbury headline appearances to see how they can really get the crowd going. And if they are good enough to rock Glastonbury then Waterford surely cannot complain.... Oh I forgot this is Waterford and complaining is 2nd nature and deeply ingrained in the local psyche!

Don't forget as well as Daytripper there is also a huge festival out the road in Portlaw: the 2nd year of All Together Now [acts confirmed to date The National, Patti Smith, Hot Chip, Father John Misty, The Good The Bad The Queen, John Hopkins, Olafur Arnalds, Neneh Cherry, The Wailers and plenty more confirmed and TBC. For those who know their music and like an eclectic mix these are pretty impressive names.

I attended last year and was mightly impressed @ the layout and set up. From having attended many festivals down thru the years I was astonished to have such an event within a 15min drive.

So enough of the complaining & negativity please. Just attend one of these events and enjoy the experience. Many other cities/towns would love to have the options available. Dont forget there are also the local Summer festivals : Spraoi & Harvest. And the nice intimate weekly outdoor Churchyard Sessions @ the back of the Reg running throughout the Summer.

But as with all things in life its difficult to please all the people!
