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.
Moncrieff playing Wexford for the Breakwater festival Aug 7th and limerick docklands Aug 9th
There are licensed capacities for the various stages at Glasto. If they approach that number then the area is sealed off by security as it was for Radiohead at The Park in 2011 and Chic at West Holts in 2013. Capacity for the Other Stage is 70k and the festival will not jeopardise its licence by going over that. You've never seen a 100k crowd, or anything close, anywhere other than the Pyramid. Best to ignore the random rounded-up numbers that people throw about.
Pity! Gutted I missed the 3 arena gigs. I suppose the thread states rumoured events in the title! It may happen yet.
I was at it. Well, walking around the Railway line. The crowd was so big it knackered the whole site for hours. There were people trampling through the campsites.
I've been at full capacity gigs on the Other stage. Like Liam Gallagher and Blondie with 80k. There was 100k at Avril Lavigne. Maybe more.
This is the Pyramid field just before Janelle Monae started
And this is the Other stage at the same time for Avril. Taken back on the railway line
Been some good gig announcements recently, wonder what FN will announce now. I'm fairly content with 2025 as it is.
Hard Quartet maybe?
About 5 people have asked this now, and he's dodged every single post about it since they were announced for ATN, so I think it's safe to assume that he doesn't really have a clue and was just repeating a rumour he heard.
cause Singular artists parent company bought tickets dot ie and already owns ticketing platforms so it’s easy to piggyback on its own platforms. Selective memory are involved in the ticket booth platform that they use as their main ticketing outlet. Foggy uses whelans a fair bit which has its own cheaper ticketing platform. Vicar st is exclusively a ticketmaster venue so nothing can done there.
And uses ticketmaster far too much. I don't get why FN does that when Singular Artists and Selective Memory can offer alternatives. I enquired before but got zero response.
Genuinely hoping there's no one of interest in this next batch as i can't afford anymore and 2025 is already stacked with gigs. He'll probably announce a load of co-promotes with Umack!
Alas Galway Arts has gone that way also, though always one or two decent ones - Mogwai, Leftfield, Flaming Lips, Pixies, Jon Hopkins, Pavement since lockdown. The Roisín & Monroe's also have a few goodies and I'd guess that smaller gigs alongside the Marquee's bigger names might also work in Cork.
Personally only The Waterboys appeals to me, they were fantastic last year, would prefer an act i haven't seen in a while, or a newbie, but its always safe acts at the Marquee
And we love it, although missed sum 41 during the summer but caught Limp Bizkit in Toronto during the summer and already tickets for Dublin.
Never seen soad would love a show here but not expecting anything
will be at least one more weekend added. One day dance line up needs to be added
Yeah in fairness the gigs do seem to be selling well. Don't think there's any act I'd personally want to see but they're drawing the crowds in it seems.
Is there really though?
Ah no.id like to see SOAD. Was actually supposed see them and deftones in gelsenkirchen in 2013 but life got in the way.
That nicely rounded-up figure is used with regularity re Glasto but almost never accurate. She had a big crowd but nowhere near that, less than half from the footage I've seen. It's only ever major acts on the Pyramid who pull that many, and it's very very rare. There are circa 125 stages there competing for attention and only 142,000 paying attendees. It's a mega festival but the tabloid media are forever bandying silly figures about so please take them with a pinch of salt.
Any idea on prices?
I'd be tempted to go just for Eve, or if he just plays country grammar in full.
There are worse things! Honest!
The man never sleeps.
They have sold very well this year, half of them are sold out or nearly sold out. One of two more gigs for Ducrot will be added i’d say. there are still a few date gaps though and they can extend at either end also. , so we might get more.
Foggy Notions going to be announcing more gigs soon.
Think there's 19 gigs announced already for Marquee. Thought they'd be close to having announced all their gigs there at that rate.
Saw Inspiral carpets and Happy Monday in the barrowlands this year. What a legendary venue!
Theres a full on douchebag revival at the moment. Anyone of late teen/college age at the turn of the century are lapping up Sum 41 and Alien Ant Farm gigs.
There was 100,000 people at Avril Lavigne at Glasto this year.
Bit of a rarity factor there along with limited dates. And seem more co-headline too...nu-metal resurgence in full flow, a bizarre sight
appears to be only three shows with absolutely massive supports covering the major cities in America
@ with Avenged Sevenfold ^ with Korn % with Deftones ! with Polyphia, Wisp
System of a down are playing NFL/Baseball stadiums next year so I'm officially out of the loop with who's popular these days
Train for St John's castle July 7th
Yes I think 2 or 3 for sure in total for him
wouldn’t be surprised if he adds additional nights in marquee
