Yep its just been announced i cant wait already, tickets probably on sale this Saturday

bbop · 17-12-2003 04:22PM

Imposter · 17-12-2003 04:26PM

Hopefully I'll get to see them on the 10th of June in Vienna. Tickets will probably be easier to get too!

comet · 17-12-2003 06:43PM

I can't find any news on this please post a link if its true!

comet · 17-12-2003 06:46PM

Ok just saw it on the bands site, nice one. also on NME
Red Hot Chili Peppers to play massive Dublin gig

honru · 17-12-2003 10:14PM

Oh man, and I thought that Metallica returning was bad. Three stadium shows in three summers - why don't they leave us alone. If Lansdowne Road was bad, I can only imagine how this holds up.

comet · 17-12-2003 10:17PM

Haven't been to a concert there, but i don't imagine its a good venue unless your right up the front.
Its the usual crap with concert promoters, they will try to sell as many tickets in the pre-Christmas buying frenzy period, they've cut it tight but they'll be plenty of kids pestering their parents for a 'surprise' in the Phoenix Park I'm sure:)

lodgepole · 17-12-2003 11:17PM

I don't get it... They're a decent enough band, but Slane one year (where they were overshadowed by the Foo Fighters and the Queens of the Stone Age) and now a 120,000 strong Phoenix Park crowd? Do Irish people think that highly of them? So much so that we won't try and find other acts to give the big gigs to? People more deserving?

eth0_ · 17-12-2003 11:48PM

For gods sake. Why don't they just start gigging round all the pubs in Ireland? They're getting as bad as Counting Crows!
I don't mind RHCP but IMO they're not great live. Can't MCD et al come up with some other big name for phoenix park gigs?

Töpher · 18-12-2003 12:26AM

Like Metallica, they're doing a Bon Jovi. Same time next year guys....

kensutz · 18-12-2003 01:46AM

What a bad choice for an over rated band. Do they think they're that big??? Bunch of *&*&*&*.

Vlad Drac · 18-12-2003 10:17AM

I think the reason Slane sold out was because of the strength of all the bands playing rather than just the RHCP. I know I went to see the QOTSA and don't even like the RHCP ... Foo Fighters I had heard good stuff about live so I thought it would be a good show. But do they really think they alone can pull 120,000? Slane was around 80-90,000 people ... so they are expecting even more people to go see them this time around, even though they just played here :eek: Madness!

Dermo · 18-12-2003 02:04PM

it makes you think if they are going to get such big name support like Slane

beatsie · 18-12-2003 04:41PM

Yeah i was surprised that RHCP were going to be doin a phoenix park gig, dont know if it will sell as many as a pop concert (robbie williams), so the support bands will need be quite strong to guarantee a sellout.

empirix · 18-12-2003 04:52PM

the people will go because they want to be a part of it......the phoenix park & gig & summer sells tickets pluse its handy to get there than most other places...course it will be a sell out.......i'm going, i only live 10 mins just for that fact, i only live 10 mins away, twill be a good day out. I'd say most of my mates will go and they would be like me thinking tinnies, gig, g***A, sun(hopefully0, phoenix park) bit of craic agus crack;)

empirix · 18-12-2003 04:54PM

i had christmas dinner in work, so i am a bit tipsy,

Dont be at yourself · 18-12-2003 05:57PM

so the support bands will need be quite strong to guarantee a sellout

Pixies are rumoured to be supporting RHCP in Paris at around the same time, so fingers crossed, eh?

comet · 18-12-2003 08:39PM

Would you believe Ticketmaster are saying they received 30,000 phone call enquiries yesterday when news broke about the gig. Ah nothing like a little announcement like that to raise the hype....

weemcd · 18-12-2003 10:09PM

yeah it looks like me and my friends are goin \o/. tickets are going to be hard to get

but we will try

GtripleB · 18-12-2003 11:01PM

Its a fact that Qotsa and the foo fighters helped pull the crowd in for slane(whih i was at) but does ne one know if there are gonna be any good bands supporting RHCPs at phoenix park?

Sauron · 19-12-2003 06:34PM

I went to slane...thought it was great...I will probably go...but it would be reassuring to know whos playing support b4 the old €60 is forked out....Im looking forward to U2....

I really, really hope that that not happen (bit cautious on this Pixies reunion also). Not only would it force me to go to this joke of a concert, but the band would probably get such a beating like New Order did at Lansdowne Road, or even PJ Harvey at Slane, just because they're unknown to the majority of the crowd.

Plus, do the Pixies really deserve supporting the Red Hot Chili Peppers? I know this is unrealistic to the world out there but shouldn't it be the other way round??

On the support bands, I'd say it would take awhile until these are announced.

kanurocks · 21-12-2003 08:08PM

rhcp are a great band and desrve there credit and im a led zepelin fan.But personally i think the phonix park gig will sell out because they have become less punk and more rock pop in the past few years .And all the scumbags which is 90% of dublin who were to f*&*%$ lazy to got to slane will go to the phonix park gig.and i like to see any of you f*** wits sell out slane
p.s Both qotsa and the foo's played rubbish at slane.

ciao

Töpher · 21-12-2003 08:43PM

So, if 90% of the scumbags in Dublin didn't go to Slane, thinking of how many scumbags I saw, how many would there be in Dublin if they left Slane travelling at 45MPH with wind resistance of 5MP NNE?

James R · 21-12-2003 11:43PM

Well ticketmaster are expecting it to be a sell out anyway by the looks of things because they've hired 250 extra staff and brought in 200 extra telephones.

p.pete · 22-12-2003 01:19PM

I'm thinking of seeing them at Rock-am-ring the weekend before, really not sure about the phoenix park thing. Slane was cool but the previous year in Lansdowne they were muck without decent support and a crap venue.

qotsa and the foo's were the best bloody part of the gig... they were excellent live... ive seen the foo's quite a few times now and they are brilliant live...

the rhcp were good and i like them.. but they are very over-rated...

and them playing another big gig a year later is a joke... talk about overkill... id much prefer seeing a different act headlining phoenix park... oh well... what you gonna do...

Caesar_Bojangle · 27-12-2003 10:05PM

Is it anywhere near sold out yet?

kensutz · 28-12-2003 12:11AM

*cough* rubbish overrated band *cough*

James R · 28-12-2003 01:41AM

I don't know if this is true or not but a friend told me it sold out in an hour and a half.

Can anyone confirm/deny this?!

lodgepole · 28-12-2003 03:54AM

Well Ticket Master still has them on sale, but when you try to reserve your tickets, it doesn't complete the page.
