Seeing as Elton has now rescheduled his Dublin gigs, might be useful to start a 2023 thread as others might start popping up.
The Commitments - 7th - 19th February (Olympia Theatre)
Elton John - 28th/29th March (3Arena)
I agree, 1st album had some excellent tracks, i see them as quite different to the Fontaines actually. I like both, and have booked in for one of the outstore gigs, and the Vicar street gig as well in late February.
Its also nice & refreshing to see bands do something different, like these low key gigs.
RAZORLIGHT
3Olympia Theatre, Dublin
05 April 2023
Tickets from €37* on sale this Friday at 9am
Grian Chatten is literally half English
Riverside. The Button Factory. 18 Apr 2023. €27.90 + fees.
Excellent Polish Prog Rock band.
Any chance of this new mcd festival being announced this side of Christmas? Probably would be as well to leave it off now. An already crowded market as it is.
Doubt it at this stage. Probably mid/late January for January pay day
Oh man this may warrant time off work.
Makes sense ... definitely not to be missed

As is tradition
Just to be clear, Mazzy. That's a definite 'no' on the Murder Capital?
Ha ha yes.
That time I saw them in Fairview, whatever that clown of a so called singers name is started walking across the front barrier, sat down smoking rollies and engaging the populace in conversation while the band were attempting a solo. Nick Cave you are not son. As I said histrionics.
I also saw them behaving in a fairly obnoxious fashion on the street in Dingle at Other Voices a few years back.
They did the pantomime sit down for smokes shtick at ATN too but as I say, in Vicar Street, there was no bullshit, just the music. If they stick to that, they definitely have something.
Fair enough.
You seem like a nice erudite chap so we can agree to disagree and move on to further more positive discourse.
That's not how the internet is meant to work 🤣
Rolling Stones announce immersive virtual concert, 2nd Feb
(appears to be a stream of a decade old recording with a chat window, but maybe I'm being cynical)
Simple Kid playing Whelans on Friday 7th April. https://twitter.com/singularartists/status/1603691155039846401?t=wzjRnp_fuAkPPbQKsq6LwQ&s=19
Excellent. Looking forward to seeing these guys in Vicar in Feb. New album out 5 weeks beforehand so will make it more exciting.
I have only caught them once when they were doing some charity thing with Fontaines DC. Very intense live. Will be good.

Orbital playing Big Top in Limerick on 16th March https://twitter.com/LiveAtTheBigTop/status/1604792675416293377?t=msvL--sefSdmhssNPrZNPQ&s=19
So not a second date at the National Stadium then. Oh well, guess i won't be going to see them on this tour after all. A Paddy's Day gig is of no appeal and certainly not when i have The Comet Is Coming and Dean Wareham the following two nights.
Second national stadium date is the 18th as per original press release
There's tickets on sale for Belfast gig on that date.
Ah, only one Dublin show. Maybe that’s why the recalled the initial press coverage
Even so far very good year of gigs too look forward too
2022 definitely unprecedented due too covid the past few years with some tours possibly planning too be well done and dusted by the time they actually took place
The Wexford People newspaper reporting the local GAA are exploring whether they can get Ed Sheeran to play at Wexford Park. "We have had discussions with Peter Aiken around it" stated Wexford GAA Chairman Michael Martin
That's something I'd never thought I'd read
Well he had to do something after 2 and a half years as Taoiseach....
😀
Cant blame them for aiming high anyway, best of luck to them 😃
They are hoping his granny in Gorey will swing it for them
