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)
Hell no..that would be a bad trip
Fred Again just closed out Coachella. He's had big rise the last couple of years tbf.
The last Oxegen had a great lineup, its actually insane how many big names they had
Ya, he wouldn’t be my thing normally, but i got this from boards and was hooked. He does fast stuff mainly at gigs, but he also does this kinds stuff

Julie Byrne playing The Pavilion in Dun Laoighaire on Saturday 25th November. Tickets on sale now. https://twitter.com/foggynotions/status/1650495571931668481?t=CgedpPo4WA2xibwAnEXIRw&s=19
That wasn't the one, it came back as an awful dance thing and then died a death after that. What's actually insane is that 2011 was even the strongest year they had it terms of big names.
That's correct, this was the last line-up
If I remember rightly, on that 2011 one, Coldplay brought out Christy Moore to sing ride on. Must have been pretty special in fairness.
Yep, that's the one. Remember Beyonce and the National clashed. Missus wanted to see Beyonce so once she finished we ran to the see the National at the their stage and seemed like was just a handful of people at it. Walked straight in to pit area where Matt Beringer was in the crowd.
Sounds From A Safe Harbour announcing their line-up next Tuesday https://twitter.com/SafeHarbourFest/status/1650788254017306626?t=H5xrFeZZ2kEY7tXrBRnPtA&s=19
Excellent, they are staying with previous pattern of announcements of headline music & drama events in May, and a drip feed, thereafter !
It had turned into a **** hole about 2 years before that final line up. Some amount of little scumbags at it. It was unfortunate as it used to be a great festival. I was attending it every year since it changed from Witness to Oxygen. 2012 & 2013 are the two years I didn't go if my memory serves me right.
Some solid lineups but as a festival it was a sack of sh1t.
Cattle queues for bars, no booze allowed into the arena and as soon as the main acts finished the big flood lights came on and that cretin came on the tannoy loudly telling people to go back to their tents. At 11pm. The security were also fairly heavy handed making everyone leave the main arena too. It was like a Nazi death march.
Ah yes but we didn't know any better at the time, then went to EP in 2010 and it's fair to say my eyes were opened.
Glasto 04 for me. I was like "Oh".

Jaysus there's been some drop in quality with that line up. Only thing I heard about Dizee Rascal lately is that he assaulted his girlfriend. :/

Could siouxsie be down for that Cork festival? She is playing London on the 6th & 7th of September?
Would be great if she did. Dates fairly match up too.
