Well never thought id see the day..i know its that rag reporting it but their generally right on these kinda things. I guess thats our multiple nights in Croke Park band sorted for next Summer then✌
fyi
I did some quick calculations on the totals expected based it out on some averages really. Let's say it averges 60k attednace per gig, average 250 per ticket, 14 gigs, is roughly 210million. Obviously huge costs and promotions . But it'll be big money regardless
They’ll have extra dates for all of them
How long before ticketmaster crashes on Saturday morning
08:00:59 😂
He still very much has off nights when he is basically reduced to just shouting and not singing but when his throat is good then its the best he has sounded in decades.
Probably already has.
Re Glastonbury, the announcement says these dates will be the band’s exclusive European appearances.
Surely they take all five nights at Croker...?!
Liam never had an amazing voice and my memories of their concerts is basically hearing the voices of the 50 people closest to you shouting out the words. But he has worked well with what he's got and to me sounded better than ever at the last 3Arena gig. Also some great clips of him in that 48 hours at Rockwell documentary on Sky which I watched last night. That was obviously a couple of years back.
Ireland the last two gigs announced this morning - can see a Friday and Monday gig being added mid-morning a la Coldplay. Promoters will make the call once they see 3-400k people in the queue 😥
Croke Park will add 2 more dates, I'd be fairly sure.
They'll have to get the balance right. If it's net above 120 a standing ticket they're taking a risk of people hedging. Just look at Pearl Jam. Multiple tickets going on the day at 50% of face value. There was also a large fomo element given how long it was since they played here. Promotors gambled on this and it backfired. Even for Liam Gallagher in 3arena (73euro + booking) there were tickets floating around on the day for a 15K capacity venue that was basically an Oasis greatest hits set.
Liam doesn't do more than 2 nights in a row. If there's another date added, it'll likely be Thursday.
Whats the story with the artist presale of Friday evening? Would that just be the croke park presale?
That's nonsense. Saw him in Thomand a few weeks ago and was amazed by how strong his voice is.
I do love Oasis but not sure I'm too fussed on this. If a ticket dropped into my lap I'd go but that's unlikely and seems a lot of hassle and stress to try get one Saturday.
Think its a broadly accepted fact that Liam's vocals are great at the moment. TBH one of the reasons these shows make sense.
It’s all about building up momentum and hype isn’t it.
My big fear is that the ordinary Irish punters are gonna get royally screwed over the way ticketmaster have scheduled the sale.
yeah i feel like UK people will book croke and then we'll be waiting on the 48 hour transfer.
Yes the different times are a joke. Would have made more sense the other way around where a smaller sized Irish audience might have wanted to jump into a bigger pool of gigs in UK first.
saw Oasis in Slane in 95 supporting REM and would love to bookend that by seeing them again next year!
As I said in a previous post, it works both ways but could be worse the other way around. The other way around and you'd have everyone who didn't get a ticket in the UK sales piling into an Irish sale. They should be on sale at the same time (and IMO, accounts should be limited in how many queues they can join).
Hassle and stress? You can try for tickets on your phone when youre taking a shÃt.
They headlined in 2004 and were absolutely sh!te. Clips of the gig on YouTube and they sounded awful.
On Liam’s instagram post it said these will be only gigs in Europe so that means no festivals. I’d expect a few additional shows in South America, they are massive in Argentina.
Please no
I was it it. Left after 6 or 7 tunes. Abysmal.

How many concerts are Croke Park allowed to host a year?
Yeah saw them three times myself, Slane 2009 when The Prodigy were a fantastic support act (less talk about the four hour odyssey to get back to Dublin after the gig though), Marley Park in 2005 and in the Point/3 Arena where Ian Brown and his harmonica nearly started a riot😂
Great is a bit of a stretch.
He sounds average at best on official videos of Reading at the weekend.
He sounds "great" only in comparison to how utterly dogsh1t he sounded for most of the 00s.
"Better than he has since the 90s" would be more apt.
Technology is a great thing - the sound engineering at gigs has improved tenfold where a strangled dog can be made sound like Pavarotti.
