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.
Any chance of deftones gig over here next summer? Announced more dates for the UK/Europe

Ah good spot there, I'll update the post
I'd lost track of the Gang of Four lineup. But Jon King on vocals with David Pajo in the band is tempting.
and last chance to see them as this is the farewell/goodbye tour.
No worries, i thought it was a new festival for Waterford !!
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.
Dolan’s is only 380 whereas button factory is 550. A third smaller which easily equates to €10-15k difference in ticket revenue.
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. 😁
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?
Was tempted but it's the day after Iron Maiden so will have to skip
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.
She was clashing with Janelle Monae.
Sugababes closed the place down on the Friday aswell.
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 😅
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?
Nice. From the presale link?
You'd definitely know Hey Soul Sister which has been on 10 million adverts
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 😅
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.
Consider yourself privileged to have avoided them this long 😂
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.
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
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.
No, didn’t recognise it. Guess I got lucky. Until today.

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!
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.
Absolutely delighted with this, always a great show with these
Pat Monaghan is the only original member left.
I was at a loose end in London about 6 years ago between 2 Metallica shows and went to see Train in the Hammersmith Apollo, wouldn't have been much of a fan but they were very enjoyable, big band, lots of backing singers and Monaghan has a great voice.
They have some decent songs.
reality is both Libertines and Pil are taking a hit playing those cork/Limerick shows and are offsetting it with the Dublin fee. they can choose to accept the lower fees that smaller venues in cork/Limerick offer if they want to. Many others are not in position or do not want to. So if extra shows in ireland eats all your profit from your Dublin show why bother. Come in and out and make a profit on the Dublin show.
If the offer from playing cork/Limerick isn’t covering the daily costs of the tour then 8 times of 10 a band will refuse.
Thanks, that all makes sense.
