Starting a thread for 2025 gigs as they'll likely start rolling in.
I'll arbitrarily throw in Rob Beckett playing the Olympia on the 26th September 2025 which went on sale today.
Definitely Maybe but i expect we'll be crying our hearts out. Pure speculation but lots of ££££ on the table for the lads

its a definitely maybe 30 year reissue, no tour
They haven’t dropped any hints they’ll have a reunion, it’s a nonsense article
they just announced the reissue/expanded album. That’s all it was ever going to be.
Tickets on sale Friday 31st May at 9am.

flaming lips doing yoshimi in olympia next April
Edit: presale already on, €73.25 standing
Do any of you fine people have a presale code for Flaming Lips? Thanks
Possibly a silly question but how is there a presale already if it was only just announced? Is that a 3 presale or MCD?
I know, seems stupid but the 3 presale had started already. As had the artist one but that needed a code, don't know what that is I'm afraid
Strange alright. There’s a 3+ and Artist presale. As far as I can see there isn’t an MCD one.
Actually, the obvious guess worked
Use the code YOSHIMI here...

Thanks for that!
Got 2 standing....thanks ...again!! Electric Nitwit
Cheers. Got sorted with that code.
One to look forward to.

Gabrielle playing the 3Arena on Sat March 29th.
She couldn't even sell out 2 nights in the Olympia and they have put her in the 3Arena now.
They must have drastically reduced the rental costs there as they are putting anything in there.
Now we're getting somewhere!
sure live nation own the venue so it’s nothing to them.
Thats not what you were saying last week was it though, when you were saying an Arena show could cost up to 10 times that of a theatre show.
Going from their own venues to renting out 3 arena does add enormous costs per price and could easily add €10-€15 add on between venue rental cost, security costs, production costs required for arena and most importantly the fee guarantee required by the act. The fee required by an artist going from theatre to 3 arena per ticket is always higher. They now have to pay for an arena production, tons more staff, tour buses etc. ie they might require €15k for theatre show for 1,500 but require €200/250k for arena show.
No consistency.
depends on who the promoter is and bunch of other facts. if live nation/mcd want to risk a 3 arena on an artist that usually does a night or two olympia they can if they want and they can somehow make that work for themselves on venue costs. As they own the building they can risk it. Also depends on the 3 arena set up. Could be seated only for 3,800/4000 capacity like they often set up for some comedy shows there. Her production might be low key enough.
Was very surprised to see that, doubt she could even half fill it, she'll need decent support acts for sure
Considering Gabrielle was put on at 5:15 at Rewind on Sunday, sandwiched between Hothouse Flowers and Carol Decker, that gives some indication…
Second Date added for Belfast - Friday 28th Feb
The Offspring announced a new album
Maybe a return to the 3Arena or a St Annes/Malahide Castle gig
How did the 3Arena gig sell?
I always thought they would be perfect for a medium sized venue like Trinity or Iveagh Gardens
It was near the end of the 2021 covid restrictions with minimum standing layout and few upper sections curtained off (if I remember correctly)
Might need a strong support bill for Marlay Park and Malahide but other venues mentioned might be a possibility
I think if Offspring do play next year I could see them in Fairview or trinity, maybe 3arena again if they did a co-headline gig similar to Weezer/Pumpkins.
Slipknot just announced for Rock Am Ring/Rock Im Park next year which pretty much confirms they will be at Download. Would they chance a Malahide gig with a strong support or back in the 3Arena
