I saw them a long time ago. I can't remember the date/year (had late 80s in my head) but going by the tour list on Thunder's website, they were support, it was 1st of May 1990.

Kiss I cant recall playing here but Im sure they have.

Yep, the B-52s played the SFX back in the early nineties.

ned rierson · 28-03-2019 1:26am

The b52s played the Point not the sfx

Vinculus · 28-03-2019 8:55am

I stand corrected.

Oh yeah stupidly I was actually at that an all lol

Just compiled that on bands I've seen but outside of Ireland trail of thought was focused on headline gigs here whoops.

ozzy jr · 28-03-2019 5:47pm

Sadly, I don't think Ritchie Blackmore has ever played in Ireland, with Deep Purple, Rainbow or Blackmores Knight

PTH2009 · 28-03-2019 5:53pm

It was always baffling to me that Motley Crue or any of its members except for Tommy Lee (who done a DJ set in Kerry or Dublin) never played Ireland as they would often played the UK ???. Wonder was it cause they were mostly sober and **** knows what they would end up doing here

Saw them in 2015 in Manchester on there last tour and they were pretty good

I doubt Kyuss ever played here, dream of a full line-up return

Yeah must go about getting a ticket. But unsure though, dunno if like his versions enough at the same time.

Kolido · 28-03-2019 8:29pm

Bob Marley ever play here? I know he spent some years in England so a good chance he did.

I figure it's worth 20 quid to hear millionaire sung properly, josh is cool and all, but his vocals don't cut it

He played Dalymount.

I’ve seen them here back in the 80s but trying to remember who they played with. I’m fairly sure they played support to Stevie Nicks in 89 here even though Richard Marx is listed as her support on the European leg of the tour.

I think it was one of his last concerts ever

dohboy · 28-03-2019 10:32pm

Don't think the Kings of Convenience have ever played here.

TheDocMan · 29-03-2019 12:20am

Just wondering if any of these played:
Against Me
Husker Du
Refused
Front 242

SwordofLight · 29-03-2019 12:21am

I thought Elvis played Knock airport very briefly lol

I'm sure they probably have. I live in the arse-hole of nowhere and they've played here twice.

Yeah he played the SFX(which I was at. Great gig). Think it was Vai on guitar too.

Love with Arthur Lee played in Dublin in the Noughties.

Mike Guide 69 · 30-03-2019 9:41pm

I take it Kate Bush would be another artist not to have played in Ireland,due to her minimal gig performances?

bodhrandude · 30-03-2019 10:22pm

Did the Cocteau Twins ever play Ireland, I know they played a few T in the Parks but I don't know if they crossed over and played Witnness or Oxegen, I know Liz Frazer toured with Massive Attack this year and at Electric Picnic 2006.

Vinculus · 31-03-2019 1:54am

My older sister saw them in mid eighties. I'm pretty certain it was in the SFX.
They played again the Tivoili around 92.
I wasn't quick enough to get tickets to that gig unfortunately.

Electric Picnic was the first time they played here. They were meant to play in or around 1996 but that got cancelled for some reason. I don't know about the 76-78 era.
Jonny said at the start of the EP performance "they finally let us in" I presume he was talking about being let into Ireland.

Lorde hasn't played here yet. Bit of an anomaly for a big pop act.
