Prima Facie sold out in about four minutes. I know it was the Gaiety but I was surprised with no queue or waiting room.
Malahide?
Yea possibly, or again if Longitude is going back to its Indie/Rock route they'd be a perfect headliner. Also I know Foo's aren't indie but just hypothetical :)
Is it illegal to suggest they might play a non-Dublin venue?
Aviva or marlay only options for foo fighters. Malahide too small for them
Is there a max amount of gigs that the Aviva can hold, with Metallica X2, Dermot Kennedy X2 and Take That already booked
Dreamland Ballroom in Athy, I hear.
That's what some people think the extent of infrastructure outside of Dublin is alright
To be fair, I'm in Sligo.
The closest we have to a concert venue is a basketball court in the local college.
Pairc ui Chaoimh exists...
3 concerts a year are in planning permission so they only need to apply for licence for any above that.
No limit technically but 5 or 6 concerts in total is probably the most they could get away with
Well FF just shared the anfield, poland and some other European image on their socials, could be tomorrow when the announcement happens
I cant see why they and others cant announce gigs on the previous Thursday or Friday, this concept of announcing on a Monday and having presales start almost instantaneously is ridiculous.
Is it just that it creates a degree of panic in buyers so they think less about the price...?
Or am I just deeply cynical?
Hayley Williams tour announcement is also tomorrow, it could be an expensive week for some!
Really like her album and her debut solo album was excellent too IMO. Would've thought she'd be playing 3Arena based off Paramore fame alone but will have to get tickets for this wherever it is.
National stadium, its a deliberate move to go to smaller venues
If you build it, they will come....
Way too big for Longitude and don't fit its old musical direction at all.
No Foo Fighters Irish date
Balls, thats me out for this tour, too much going on around it to travel, the only way i could be tempted is if i got milan and managed to get a system of a down ticket for paris the night before
Sake
Dave grohl avoiding Ireland due to multiple paternity tests awaiting him if he returns
Skipped on the 2022 tour which didn’t end up happening, no dates in 2024 and none next year.
There are pieces of lemon peel floating down the Liffey I care more about than the Foos but hopefully we get an Otoboke Beaver gig here.
Katy Perry for malahide in June
OMD confirmed for Trinity College 4th July.
Thats entirely the reason.
Presale is Wednesday so not too bad, but no Irish date.
Why are they avoiding Ireland, they sold out quickly last time they played here.
they are only in Europe for a month exactly, with 10 shows. Can’t play every country in that timeframe. Shows are always a mixture of artist availability, suitable venue availability, fee and logistics.
If all those those don’t line up then no show here
Loads of bands skipping us. Dealing with logistics/our promoters must be a pain in the arse as theres no lack of interest from the masses. Its a pattern now, loads of tours cruising by us annually.
As a good few of you know I put it solely down to promoter greed/apathy/laziness or a combo of all 3.
every band that can sell tickets is chased by likes of mcd, aiken, festivals, singular etc.
mcd would have loved to put foo fighters in the aviva or marlay and made a million or so from it. Maybe there is plans for 2027 show. the UK is only 2 anfield shows, that’s a minuscule number given uk population and popularity of Foos in the uk. not every band is going to come here on every tour. We are a small country and bands especially those at private jet level are not going to be slogging away for months in europe hitting every major city. In out cash grab
