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✌
How's it anti women? You'd want to learn to read. I merely stated that Robbie William's crowd would mostly be middle aged women. That's his demographic from his early fan base in Take That.
Oasis fan base was mostly going to be middle aged men who followed them from their teenage years.
Taylor Swift's fan base will mostly be teenage girls as that's the demographic most likely to listen to her music.
Not that hard to understand now I've explained it to you.
You had a cheap sneering shot at a different concert, and incidentally, it was very surprising the number of blokes (of all ages) who were at last night's show.
A psychoanalyst would say you secretly feel the Gallaghers pulled a fast one on you at those prices so everything skirting the fringes of last weekend must be attacked to prove to yourself you weren't ripped off.
Yeah right, that's EXACTLY what you wrote, suuuure. And the Karen comment - am sure you were just picking a random name to throw in, for some unknown reason. Grow up ffs!
“That's his demographic from his early fan base in Take That.” Robbie’s solo career is actually far more successful than his Take That career was. He doesn’t deserve the sneering
I wasn't ripped off. Didn't pay a cent for my ticket 😂.
Lads you'd all want to calm down. I'm not sneering Robbie Williams. He's a showman and a hell of a one at that.
He's not my cup of tea but he has his audience and that's great. I was in Dublin city centre yesterday and there were loads of gangs of middle aged women drinking and having fun before the concert (hint...the Robbie William's T-shirts were a giveaway).
I couldn't care less about the Gallagher's pulling a fast one. It was a once in a lifetime experience and if you read back through this thread you'll see nobody saying they felt short changed.
You obviously have difficulty reading. Putting "exactly" in capital letters. I did exactly say that his demographic would be middle aged women. Absolutely nothing wrong with that statement. They love him and fair play to them. Don't see what the issue is. Unless you've some sort of hidden agenda to that?
Let's put your "middle aged women" comment to one side and look at what you wrote before that.
"It's like the universe decided that last weekend was to be the mother and father of all weekends.
Pubs were jammed, town was buzzing, weather was glorious and Oasis were biblical.
This weekend it's like, ah it's only Robbie Williams...turn the rain back on."
You've a serious God (or Patrick Bateman) complex going on there mate. Now I understand what music journo Cameron Sinclair Harris meant when he said: "Oasis are a punchline: Thatcherism disguised as working class liberation. They are to popular music what Harold Shipman was to medicine."
Guys
Nobody f*cking cares.
Move on.
Come on lads and lassies, you are all better than this.
Oasis v Robbie Williams.
It's 1995 again!!!
I was quite enjoying that to be honest, had the popcorn and all out.
Anything to be said for Blur?
Oasis, greatest band of all time in my opinion, sadly I didn't get to Croke Park, much and all as I love Oasis, I wasn't parting with €600 to see them (I paid €70 to see them in Slane!).
I heard the gigs were great though and I'm delighted for people who didn't get a chance to see Oasis first time around. Hopefully they continue the momentum and do more gigs next year.
Tis a great time to be alive ladies and gentlemen, d'ya know wha I mean.
It's no placebo vs arcade fire…..
Which bands are you comparing them to?
First 2 albums were crackers but of their time and I'll admit enjoyed them when younger but I wouldn't class them as the best band of all time.
Comparing them to everyone I suppose, for me they're the best hands down.
But if you don't think they're the best then that's ok, I respect your view.
Lot of ironic snobbery on this thread, most of the full kit w*nkers at Oasis were the same crowd who were front and center at the Robbie gigs and Take That reunion 15-20 years ago.
Robbie Williams is a legend of a performer over a long period, stands up with anyone live.
Bear in mind if Noel didn't have such a good solo career and had went down the karaoke route like Liam then Oasis wouldn't have had the pulling power they still do.
To think Robbie can fill Croker this long after the peak of Take That and his solo stuff says a lot about the regard he is held.
As long as they're hot MILFs, bring them on.
Oasis' pulling power has absolutely nothing to do with Noel's solo career. And who give a **** about Robbie Williams, go start a thread
Looks like Robbie was longing for the 90's last night.
He did sing a blur song last night
Im a gluten for punishment
Slane on a Wednesday 🤔
A 51 year old having the haircut of a 12 year old is a bit tragic
Robbie Williams is a great entertainer and best of luck to him - he almost sold out Croke Park at €110-120 a head. But the reality is that yesterday afternoon there was over a thousand tickets available on Ticketmaster, whereas Oasis could have sold Croke Park out for 10 nights.
I'm basing that on that fat cowboy hick who sold 6 nights.
And we're still waiting on the recording
I think one thing we can be sure in Slane will not be getting a license for a midweek show.
Wear that ignorance with pride, man!
Red album (by Taylor Swift to help you) came out in 2012. 1989 album (also by her) came out in 2014. 11 year ago. She's released multiple albums since then, some have even been critically acclaimed. Maybe some teenage girls like her music. Maybe some also like Oasis and Robbie Williams - to say the vast majority of the fans that listen to her music are teenage girls show your ignorance.
Funny that. I've 3 teenage girls and the hype between them and their friends for Taylor was off the charts.
I collected them from one of the nights in the Aviva and guess what? Thousands and thousands of young teenage girls were at it.
Thirteen to nineteen (that's the clue for teenager).
You're dreaming if you think her core audience isn't teenagers.
In terms of generations, 45% are millennials, 23% are baby boomers, 21% are Generation X, and 11% are Generation Z. Journalists have also noted an increase in Swift's boomer and Generation X fans, known as "senior Swifties".

Yes I'm sure there were thousands at the concerts - there was c. 50k each night and I brought my daughter too, but I don't think most of her fans are teenage girls.
Has Slane ever not been on a Saturday? Wonder when 2026 dates will be announced. That Hamburg date looks very attractive.
Kasabian were support last time at Slane too. Missed their whole set in the queue for the sh!t show that was the bar.
