2022 Irish Gigs (Confirmed & Rumoured Events)

On Bruce, ya, if he takes one day off after every gig, the consequence is a lengthy Euro tour. Don’t see any RDS events in May, apart from a 3 day taking place after those rumoured dates, most big Aviva rugby events, finished in April i think, have not checked soccer events.

2022 will be overloaded with gigs, thats now very obvious, no income, or low income for many acts, for over a year. Which is why i will be very choosy, as a pile of more announcements are going to be made, as more acts are going to be doing some level of touring in 2022, than in any previous year.

Nearly 35 years. Bowie I think.

Disgraceful how they try and sell those pre sale seats.

Look at the Cure. Only the **** seats available. They try panic people into buying Block P and the like for 75 quid. Even though there will be plenty of standing and closer seats available tomorrow.

You won't miss out on the gig. I've never not been able to get a ticket to any gig I've ever wanted to go to. If it sells out there are always tickets the week of on Toutless or wherever.

Granted I've been lucky a few times. The Stones in 2003 being the luckiest I reckon. Think it sold out in 3 minutes.

I only ever use 3Arena Presales for standing tickets, they are consistently absolute rubbish, for seats, and its always been like this, it is not anything recent

Sponsors pre-sales are just a benefit for the sponsors clients. Three pay an amount, and are given an allotment to sell, as a benefit to their customers. The arena/band are never gonna give away the best seats for that.

Band/Fans presales are normally good seats as they have a different contract. Snowpatrol a few years back did a fans presale that sold out the whole Olympia. You'd never get that on a Three presale

I remember that for snow patrol, did a nationwide theatre tour, all shows sold out from presales alone, didnt have access to that one, queued up on the day for Cork and was told there was no tickets left before they went on sale, was fuming but went to fans which was fine, pre sales are handy for peace of mind and standing tickets not much else

Jack White announced a U.S and European tour, no irish date though

NaL is on the ball. 99% of the time tickets will become available on toutless or adverts. If you can wait until last minute i.e. couple of hours before the gig, you'll get very good bargains.

I think there was only one gig that I couldn't a ticket for - The National in Vicar St;. Not a sniff of a ticket. That was a bit unique in that it was a band playing in a very small venue.

There will be no problem getting tickets during the week before the gig. People will get sick, have other plans etc. I got a ticket for the Cure gig in Malahide for €40 on the day of the gig.

All Idles gigs in Vicar Street are cancelled for next month.

Playing Royal Hospital Kilmainham on May 29th 2022.

Music blogs might have list such as Nialler9, Golden Plec etc. Then case of venue and promoter sites. Be handy to have a big masterlist site alright but don't think there's one afaik

Thanks for letting me know about toutless. Never knew of it.
