Prima Facie sold out in about four minutes. I know it was the Gaiety but I was surprised with no queue or waiting room.
they only a few months ago? will be a few years before they can come back
They said they are doing another run next year and that there will no shows then in 2027.
Would be Belfast on this island if even coming back
that seems quiet clear, ireland was included on first leg of europe run and second leg is concentrating on the other cities/countries they didn’t already cover. 2028 or 2029 before they will be back here so with 2027 being a fallow year.
Speaking of inflated prices. Interesting moves in the States. Wonder if anything comes of it. https://www.rte.ie/news/business/2025/0918/1534201-ticketmaster-us/
Well I don't know about anyone else but I am stunned by these revelations. Stunned, I tell you.
Ah yea, I fell off my chair when I read it..
Raye playing 3Arena in March. Seems announcements after artists have played here are getting shorter and shorter.
second night at marlay park for Lewis capaldi
2 nights in marley park, christ. ol man (32) yells at cloud but im honestly baffled by his popularity
Never underestimate the buying power of impressionable hormonal young women.
nuff said
Take That playing the Aviva Stadium on July 4th. Playing "The Circus" in full, which is a cracking album.
Ah come on. Lewis Capaldi is massive. Two nights at Marley is hardly a surprise. It’s hardly just young women judging by the crowd he pulled at Glastonbury this year.
A double dose of Capaldi and yet more Raye. Is there is less psychedelic town in Europe than Dublin
you’re right, it’s young women, their mates and fellas doing anything for an easy life.
I got dragged along to Raye this year when my husband accidently bought tickets for his neice who wasn't 18 yet and its was over 18s.
While she's not really my thing, she was very good live to be fair!
More Take That too. Promoters milking their cash cows but wonder will the recycling or acts at those prices get tiresome.
or simply Live nation just booking massive popular acts whilst they are touring new albums/anniversary tours. those acts realistically will only play here twice on an album campaign, a summer show one year and indoor the other.
Have no time for the Rayes, the Taylors, the Duas, the Olivias. All sh1te. Music for little kids.
Its great they're going to gigs. The downside of course is that sort of money for a ticket is the norm to them from such a young age.
How you actually seen Lewis Capaldi? Nobody is going for his looks tbf
Sir Paul might never play here again
He done well for himself
nah been talks going on for a few years on it. Closer to the line now
looks like Snuffleupagus, rumoured to be hung like Snuffleupagus.
Garth Brooks didnt even sell out Hyde Park.
Can sell 400k tickets in Ireland and cant sell 65k in London.
Country at it's peak popularity in the UK and Garth not done a show there for 30 years.
Bizarre.
not really. would say a lot of irish fans waiting to see if Irish dates announced before buying London tickets. Him being insanely popular versus England isn’t a once off. Look at how ireland embraced David gray around white ladder. He was a Brixton academy act level in London whilst headlining Witness 2003.
Guess his bank balance is pretty hung too
Guess they boost it with a strong support
He'd be stupid not to play here, a good money earner for Cork GAA
The hope is once they're listening to SOME kind of music, it's a gateway to other kinds of music. Then they discover they can watch this kind of music live for a quarter the price of the other shite and BOOM, you've got yourself a music fan.
