Slane Castle Future gigs

PTH2009

Might as well start a separate thread on what the future might hold for Slane Castle as a concert venue

After a very successful show by Metallica this year the next question is who will be the next headliner and when will it be ???

Really hope they put us out of our misery and have AC/DC headline if they do another tour

Coldplay are possibilities as are the usual bands like u2, Guns N Rose's, Muse and Bruce Springsteen

I can actually see Pearl Jam headlining as they haven't played here as a band in years

"Original" is a bit off though. "Classic" lineup is really what people want to see and in that case theres 4. One last hurrah. Angus, Brian, Phil Rudd and Cliff Williams.

Slane is an MCD/Live Nation venue.

Springsteen won't be playing there unless he gives up the Aiken connection.

As to whoever plays, it'll be whoever MCD want to put there instead of Croker. Obvious first thoughts: Coldplay, Beyonce, U2 or Ed Sheeran, although Sheeran can sell out 2 nights in Croker, so maybe somewhere else than an instant Slane sell out for him. U2 would probably still sell it out pretty rapidly too.

Ed is doubtful as he's very much an aiken artist when he tours here

On the last album/tour, there was only one original member as well.

Original members one yeah although the drummer Phil Rudd was with them since the re-release variation of their first album but remains to be seen if he's touring with them.

If, as expected, DC announce a final world tour with Brian then venues will be limited, they'll want as many people as possible in as few a venues.

I'd expect a Slane gig, along with maybe 2 nights at Olympic Stadium in London and then a single gig in France/Spain/Italy/Holland and a couple in Germany

All stand alone DC gigs and no festivals

It will be AC/DC or Pearl Jam

Said I'd never do Slane again after Metallica but **** it I'd be tempted now ha

Bonzo Delaney

When leaving Metallica this year with the masses heading for the red car park area some smart arse in the pa mentioned " see you all next year for AC/DC" the collective groan of yeah right from everyone was comical.
But yeah they're the only band left capable of headlining and selling out the place with mediocre support that haven't already played.

I wonder why they've never tried to move towards turning it into a weekend festival type event?

Thats what was agreed with locals, AFAIK,
Its one gig, taking place on 1 day only, and thats it.

Its a tiny village, so it would be totally over run, if it was a weekend event.
Locals will still remember the Bob Dylan headline gig, where the town was wrecked.
