Motley Crue never bothered there holes coming here for some reason

I knw not music related but in the world of wrestling big stars namely Hulk Hogan and The Rock never performed here. Hogan in fact didn't really appear much in Europe. A lot of other stars performed here in there careers at live events etc

I don’t think the Doors, Hendrix, or Frank Zappa ever played here. Joy Division and Nick Drake are unlikely to have.

Hendrix played in Belfast. Nick Drake hardly gigged at all, even in England.

Half Man Half Biscuit have never made it here.

ABBA played here in 1979 in The RDS

Jane's Addiction?

The Iron Giant

Travelling Wilburys
Carly Simon
Harry Nilsson?

Strange one this but has Enya ever played a gig in Ireland? I'm not talking about a one off song but an actual full show.

Never knew Hendrix played Belfast. You learn something new every day.

Closed Oxegens second stage in 2009.

One of the best gigs I've ever been to in Ireland. Outstanding.

I do wish they'd play their own gig sometime, in The Olympia or somewhere instead of festivals.

It would be great if he did even at this stage of his career,but all those shows in Detroit makes me think those hometown shows are the finale.

Have Metric ever played here? Certainly since I've been listening to them I don't think they have...

They played Spirit in Dublin (formerly HQ, now The Academy) in 2006.

Saw the Scorps in Belfast and they were brilliant. Don't think there is enough demand for Helloween which is a pity.
