Feels like the right time to start a new thread for next year's gigs.
John Mayer playing the 3Arena on 29 March 2024.
The new songs sounded great at Tower Records last Friday
Me too, it was amazing!
I don’t think Fontaines could charge a lot more and sell both nights really well, it was about 60 quid including fees for the Dublin standing ticket which is just right for them at the moment imo
To a tour thats supposed to be one night only per city.😁
I had a quick look at wiki to see something about this Wallen chap. Maybe he has a fair amount of American fans who don't mind travelling over here to see him, maybe they do the same for other nearby countries on his tour?
That's us told! :P
Did i hear someone say they'd like to remember Mercury Rev in their prime? Here ya go. Phoenix Festival 1993. Full gig on youtube. I was lucky enough to catch them back then. Fantastic.
"What once was lost will never be found, keep spinning in circles 'til you break the p.a" 😁😎
Their bandcamp is good for live material spanning their career. Even a Cork gig from 2008 on it. Some decent Harmony Rockets material there too https://mercuryrev.bandcamp.com/music
Just incase a reminder needed about Fun Lovin Criminals
Yep, I was aware that Huey was gone, was thinking of it as a superior FLC tribute band in a smallish venue. Had thought about seeing Stewart Copeland who they clash with but his jazz/Afrobeat covers of the old Police material sounds pretty appalling.
Huey also seems a little unnecessarily bitter about the guys going on the road without him, no?
Never change Huey.....
Tom morello from RATM the main support for limp bizkit in Belfast
Between them and Sum41 playing Fairview it's a blast from the past
I see wild roots are doing two for one tickets again this year. The must be bleeding money at this stage.
Alien Ant Farm and CKY in the academy in November https://mcd.ie/artists/alien-ant-farm-cky
Yeah not a great sign when festivals do that.
It's douchebag rock season
Forty quid, be rude not to.
Nada Surf in the Acadmey for Nov
and Tindersticks in Olympia March 25
Also, those of us who were teenagers in late nighties early naughties and were super cool kornheads season
Wunderhorse album up for pre order with the usual preorder for access to the tour. Guessing it’ll be Vicar Street
Crack Cloud - Whelans - Sunday 29/09/24
Caught these supporting the Oh Sees last year, I'll be checking them out again
Morgan wallen sold out both 3 arena nights in seconds of general sale
No he didnt.
They sold almost all the stock in presales as usual and left the platinum and dynamic priced stuff for general to sucker the public.
Tempted to pick up a ticket, Cky were the 'Viva La Bam' band and AAF that 'Movies and band that done the Smooth Criminal cover'
Pity Jimmy Eat World didn't include Ireland in there Autumn Euro tour
The Rock Orchestra 2024 playing two shows on October 14th in Cork Opera House. Tickets went on sale this morning. Picked up a pair already.
At best guess are many of these overseas sales? Or he just have an enormous fanbase in Ireland that is under the radar (music press or mainstream media have next to nothing on him). A whole other world.
doing Hyde park and ovo Glasgow. Glasgow isn’t as busy ticket sales wise as Dublin, bigger capacity though. He is covered in music press a lot, got arrested recently that got coverage. Country music has enormous generational popularity here! Something in the water
Never Underestimate line dancing Culshie folk 😁
Nothing in Hot Press, English music media or the online stuff. Nor in the Irish Times or Independent. It’s a whole underworld of scary stuff. Two mins of listening and I’ve got a rash.
Yet the gigs have sold out in Dublin. Clearly people will travel but you’ve got to assume that most of the Irish attendees will be Dubs.
