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.
Absolutely delighted with this, always a great show with these
Given the hefty prices for the Libertines in Cyprus Avenue and PiL in Limerick it appears that the fees were not substantially lowered. The acts have already crossed the Irish Sea (and often the ocean) so why not make some more cash? That’s the approach of Paul Weller and others who’d previously only played Dublin but worked out that there was cash to be made in the smaller cities. Increased costs are relative to the increased profits from tickets and merch. Some bands do, some bands don’t but there seems like little cash to be made from the costs incurred to travel to Ireland for one small gig.

As part of Feel Steel 15th Anniversary tour, Steel Panther proudly presents their headline show at Vicar Street on 18 June 2025 🤘⚡️
🔜 Tickets go on sale This Friday at 10am!
No, didn’t recognise it. Guess I got lucky. Until today.
cause everyone and their mother buys through ticketmaster as it’s the monopoly platform, has enormous visibility/marketing and has either exclusivity or pre existing arrangements with all the venues here in Dublin. Whereas as no one but dedicated gig goers knows of tickets dot ie.
Great news on Sharon Van Etten gig. Had missed the post earlier but saw it on social media there. Think Collins Barracks has some of the best gig line ups. Trinity and Iveagh Gardens up there too
All well and good but Foggy Notions does use Tickets.ie on occasion so why not more often? Or how about using Eventbrite if other promoters are involved with Tickets.ie and Eventbooth? As an independent promoter Leagues must know how much people hate using TM.
Consider yourself privileged to have avoided them this long 😂
The Foggy Notions announcements this morning were for:
Femtanyl at the Grand Social, Saturday 1st February.
Horsegirl at the Workman’s Club, Tuesday 24th June
Gang of Four at the Button Factory, Thursday 26th June.
Yeah signed up yesterday and got a text in my phone with the link and code, logged onto the DICE app and spammed the code in from 10am and got instantly, very easy experience thankfully, any site except Ticketmaster at this stage 😅
You'd definitely know Hey Soul Sister which has been on 10 million adverts
Nice. From the presale link?
Never heard of this crew, looked 'em up and they seem to have been pretty popular 10/15 years ago. They also have 26.5m monthly listeners which is a whopping amount. Had a listen and they're pretty awful. Is my ignorance due to not listening to 2FM or other cultural contaminator?
Managed to get a ticket to see Jack White in the Troxy in March 77 euros including fee's along with Viagra boys successful day 😅
She was clashing with Janelle Monae.
Sugababes closed the place down on the Friday aswell.
cause running a tour bus/crew for additional days comes a hefty price tag and might not make sense to add extra days in ireland for substantially lower fee shows in cork/Limerick etc.
Los Campesinos! tweeted that there sold out button factory show will be loss making for themselves.
Was tempted but it's the day after Iron Maiden so will have to skip
Was she even that popular in her prime??Had a couple of very big songs but didn't think she was hugely popular for a long period of time. Was it partly a case of nothing much clashing with it?
Fair point on the fee but they're doing it for PiL in June and charging accordingly (€60 incl fees) as Cyprus Avenue did for the Libertines in September. Too much of a risk with GO4 I assume.
I'm always puzzled by bands coming over for a relatively small show when you'd assume that 3/4 dates would make it more financially worthwhile, or at least also having a Belfast gig. Great for the Dubs on here. 😁
Dolan’s is only 380 whereas button factory is 550. A third smaller which easily equates to €10-15k difference in ticket revenue.
Glastonbury weekend too so likely for that. And a pity it's only Dublin as they'd undoubtedly sell out Cyprus Avenue or Dolans, neither much smaller than the BF.
No worries, i thought it was a new festival for Waterford !!
and last chance to see them as this is the farewell/goodbye tour.
I'd lost track of the Gang of Four lineup. But Jon King on vocals with David Pajo in the band is tempting.
Ah good spot there, I'll update the post
*Wexford
Any chance of deftones gig over here next summer? Announced more dates for the UK/Europe
The field cannot hold anything near 100k people, just didn't happen. People are pulling figures out of a hat. That would leave 40k ticket-holders for the other 125 or so stages. The festival would lose its licence were it to go way over capacity at any of its stages and the media reports are all 70k. If may feel busier if it's at capacity or close but it ain't over 70k.
Alot of announcements today. Last ever tour from Gang of Four
Yes and it went way over. And they did close it down. But not before it got out of hand.
You think there was only 50k at this?!
Perspective, the ice cream van is on the path at a "back" of the Other stage field. There was a sea of people to the left of this pic aswell trampling through Oxylers and there was a crush down to Silver Hayes and numerous crushes all along the railway line with people trying to get it.
As I said, I was there. Its the busiest Ive ever seen anything at Glasto.
All to hear Complicated and fúcking Sk8ter Boi.
