The normal sequence is June & July, but may have changed this year, as redevelopment is cranking up on the site, so they may want them offsite earlier than normal. Last year, it ran from June 7th to July 14th. Brought forward by a week or so for 2020. John Bishop had a second gig added last week, and i would expect more announcements to follow, 13 events announced so far. This year, had about 22 acts.

Guns n Rose's is not a good time for me with the others been on so close to it and not living in Dublin or near it Time will tell but satisfied for 2020 so far

Eod100 wrote: » Slane Castle is what, 80,000? That seems fairly ambitious for them tbh. They played there in 2003 but don't think there would be same demand these days.

Slane, Lansdowne Road, Slane, Phoenix Park, Oxegen, The O2, Croke Park and only played the Three Arena twice a couple of years ago. Enjoyed them at Slane in 2001 and 03 was alright. Baffling demand for them really though. I still hear Universally Speaking on Irish radio. There must have been some meeting somewhere 15 years ago where all the stations agreed to play that song every day.
