Feels like the right time to start a new thread for next year's gigs.
John Mayer playing the 3Arena on 29 March 2024.
Cian Ducrot playing St Anne's Park and Musgrave Park on Fridays 7th and 28th June. General sale tickets on sale Friday at 10am. Also Sea Sessions on Saturday 22nd June. https://twitter.com/mcd_productions/status/1709116073759396044?t=bDXK3JwjHaMPIWn-S2idWQ&s=19
He is also announced as the Saturday headliner for Sea Sessions Festival in Bundoran June 22nd.
Thanks, yeah hasn't spotted that when I posted but edited it there, cheers
Yay.
Middle of the Easter holidays, don't they realise most of their fanbase is old and has kids now? 🤣
It's a Friday night, you can stay out till 11......
Sadly for me I'll be away. Shame, Enter Shikari the week before and Fight Like Apes the week after, would have been a cracking run
Who ?
Silly season is well underway.
Very silly. But a bit of his song made it on tiktok.
Another waste of a Friday night outdoor June slot.
The Two Jabronis and Cian Ducrot so far is it?!
popular Irish act, blown up in the last year or so. sold out two nights in olympia in no time.
I see Mark Graham (Formally of King Kong Company) having a rant on Facebook about ticketmaster prices for the Bill Bailey gig at the 3 Arena, a whopping 160 quid to go and see his show which is fairly ludicrous considering he was a headliner in the comedy tent at EP back in 2018. Crazy money for a few hours show.
Thats up close in flat seating. Normal tickets are 55-90 quid.
Not my cup of tea either tbh but seems popular among younger people. It's a very small sample size so far but summer gigs seem to be skewing towards younger people so far.
The yoof drink more from the bars and buy food and merch and stuff. Promoters getting tired of bored Dads nursing pints at their chins for 2 hours, nodding along gently stood at the back with pre bought cereal bars in their "day bags".
Ah yeah tis the inevitably of getting auld sure! Ha I'm sure there will be a mix of more established acts too depending on touring schedules. Hoping Trinity has a few decent acts and Iveagh Gardens but early days yet sure
I think that €165 is a dreaded platinum ticket (which it should be pointed out looks like the entire Flat Seating area are platinum tickets from €110-€150 before fees). And there are 11 listings of regular tickets and 61 listings for platinum tickets across the venue.
Still, it's €90 for a comedian which is a bit outrageous. Bill Bailey is good but.. €90+ good?
And that's from someone who goes to multiple comedy gigs a month and travels to the Fringe every year. It's a ludicrous price.
Yeah seen Bill a few times and he's great. He can feck off though at those prices
The flat seats all leapt up to Platinum prices on the public sale.
I saw him last year. Row H on the flat, in the centre. €126 for two seats.
90 euro for a comedian is extortion.
Most of them are only on stage for 80 minutes.
I picked up tickets for Bailey in Belfast. £50 per ticket so seems to be much less than Dublin which is a farce.
The cheapest Dublin seats are €53. The comparative location Belfast seats are £44 (€51), so not that much different.
There's some Belfast seats for £38 (€44), but they're in the top section at the back, and the top section isn't open in the 3Arena for this.
Pretty much all the half decent seats in the SSE are £85+, so a bit of a rip-off there too.
Sure most bands only do 75-80 in their headline shows
Declan McKenna playing the Olympia on the second of April
This sweeping generalisation is absolutely not the case. Unless they've only got one or two album's worth of material, you're getting 110 to 130 minutes. Nearly everyone I've seen this year was around the ninety minute to two hour mark, considerably longer for heritage acts.
Saw the Killers, Red Hot Chili Peppers and My Chemical Romance last year. All only did 1.5 hours
Yeah out of about 50 or so headline shows in last year or so Depeche mode is only one I can think of that was beyond 80/90minutes.
between summer shows and vicar/Olympia/whelans and workmans can’t remember any show that went beyond 75/80 minutes of music
I've no idea of the actuals, but felt like New Order played for close to 2 hours on Sunday.
Roisin Murphy and Kraftwerk in Trinity felt about an hour 45.
Same, seen ~40 since the beginning of 2022. Except Springsteen of course, different animal
The National at 3 Arena played for over 2 hours.
A big year for Cian
