Feels like the right time to start a new thread for next year's gigs.
John Mayer playing the 3Arena on 29 March 2024.
They also had forbidden fruit, all together now to announce as well. Busy work of announcements from them. Each a week apart
The lack of balance is frustrating. I get the popular appeal of many acts and the need to flog tickets but Iveagh, Galway Arts & the Marquee could at least throw the indie crew a bone or two. These gigs sell also.
Has that been resolved now, or is there further threat of organised objections? A lovely venue that I’d hate to see lose its events.
Nothing official apart from Aiken announcing 3 weekends of shows in July as usual.
the concerts take up the least space out of all the summer events in the park. As it takes over playing field but leaves 50% of the park.
taste of Dublin takes over whole park for a long weekend but closes down park for 2 plus weeks for set up of the food stalls etc.
could see taste of Dublin being restricted in both amount of space they can use and set up/take down time frame.
those “residents” are going to keep trying to get it shut down.
they were claiming that it should have fallow years but they didn’t want opw to consider the pandemic years as fallow for purpose of any calculation.
Yeah true. Wasn't expecting anything this side of new year for ATN so was a surprise. Maybe they nail on headliners first and then have more acts due to be announced in spring.
Thought Iveagh Garden gigs used lean a bit indie orientated. Hoping Trinity or Collins Barracks gigs might have some acts like that. Doesn't seem Kilmaimham will this year or Fairview as much
Taste of Dublin is moving to Merrion Square in 2024. That might take some pressure off the gigs from the locals.
2 more Trinity gigs to announce hopefully.
Trinity has Paul Weller and Manics/Suede. Looking forward to both those gigs
Bookers have changed for iveagh, some are now singular artists and book Collins barracks series.
Ah didn’t see that news. That should hopefully make life easier for concerts. Means iveagh garden only partially off limits for July. Not June and July like other years
And Collins has “The The” and a few more indie bands to announce
Vodafone Comedy Festival still a possibility for July there which is fully off limits I believe? Certainly more than when it's just a gig anyway.
I’d say comedy festival is good for last weekend of July with taste of Dublin being gone. They had reduced the space the comedy festival used this year as appeasement of resident concerns.
It's been a fantastic set of announcements the last two weeks. Janes Addiction, Sunn O, Bothy Band, Patti Smith, Lankum outdoors in June - just need Black Midi, Shabaka Hutchings and dare I say Aphex and my faith in humanity will be restored.
Shabaka Hutchings has retired from playing the saxophone and music for the forseeable.
Yep - the wind direction should be interesting though. Some talent.
I am quite surprised GIAF, are actually hosting this band, and therefore affirming them, as “okay” along with their Gardai hate incitement.
Have they any other social groups, they want to - take out and take down, or is it just the PSNI & the Gardai
That last paragraph is hilarious NIMBY-ism. Even the locals near the Glastonbury site realise there won’t be a fallow year for a while after no events in 2021 and 2022.
I’ve also never heard the phrase used in relation to a city park. The exact same type of people succeeded in restricting gigs and getting the sound turned down at London events in Hyde Park and Victoria Park. Kills the buzz when people yapping ends up being louder than the headliner.
@delbertgrady get in there quick Foggy Notions have announced Bothy Band Dublin Gigs in April.

I can find nothing online about Events Proposals for Iveagh 2023. I suspect it’s either embellishment or the deliberate misconstruing of OPW documentation. And aren’t the NIMBYs aware that proposals are suggestions rather than policies. I therefore believe that bluster rather than intellect is at play here. Good news I reckon for gig goers over the next few years.
Funny how they don't consider the nine or so fallow months through the rest of the year.
Or the fact that part of Dublin is probably the most serviced with Dublin parks, you have st Stephens green and merrion square within 5 minutes and 15 minutes leisurely walk. Neither of which are used for concerts
Ah absolutely. I should have qualified that I meant the multiple gig Summer venues, GIAF, Marquee and now Iveagh. Great stuff going on around that.
100%. It is the epitome of nimbyism.
'Not In My Back Yard'. Excellent name for a festival. Let's stick a festival in there and see how they like it. Who's with me?
Only if it’s at the Iveagh and confined to Norwegian death metal with no noise restrictions. Or curfew.
Uninspiring line up for the iveagh gardens, after all the uncertainty
Are we expecting a Pearl Jam annoucement tommorow or waiting for the new year?
