Eminem Cancelled

Mr E · 17-08-2005 08:20AM #1

It was just on the radio that Eminem has pulled out of his European tour (including slane) due to exhaustion....

Hands up who wants a rock gig instead?

Basq · 17-08-2005 08:26AM

This true, TmB?

No chance of getting any real decent rock acts to play at this late notice.. all the other rap acts planned besides Eminem will probably still play Slane.

EDIT: I guess it is true..

From Eminem.com:

Eminem Cancels European Tour

Eminem announced today that he will be canceling his European tour dates, which run from September 1st through 17th. Eminem is currently being treated for exhaustion, complicated by other medical issues. The shows are not expected to be rescheduled.

but if they don't?

/me creams self in thoughts that Slane may return to the glories only seen in old film reels

p.pete · 17-08-2005 08:29AM

HAHAHaHahaha - 50 cent'll be bumped up to headline

cournioni · 17-08-2005 08:32AM

ROTFLMAO! hahaha... That's what they get for not bringing AC/DC!

JJ · 17-08-2005 09:02AM

HA HA! All the poor track suit wearing masses will be dissapointed.

karlh · 17-08-2005 09:05AM

lol.

LundiMardi · 17-08-2005 09:06AM

i could die happy right now

garthv · 17-08-2005 09:11AM

What a sham!

shano · 17-08-2005 09:16AM

Thank fcuk for that. Hopefully AC/DC or Rolling Stones come in now to do a proper Slane gig and restore it to its former glory. Ian Dempsey was intimating that the whole thing was off and so other artists would be required or else there would be no Slane. He was also hinting at the idea of an all Irish gig - my personal feeling on this is NOOOO - sure we have some decent acts but no one other than U2 (however you feel about them) is worthy of or able to handle 80,000.

Ah thanks ive no real interest in rap/hiphop just wanted to see him live and my mates where going now that he is not playing means that 50c is headlining by default , you ure they wont offer a refund

shano · 17-08-2005 09:25AM

the mcd knobs did that with oxegen when bowie pulled out i.e. made those talentless gimps 'the darkness' headliners - bum deal if you ask me. oxegen is a lot different to slane though so I can see a refund in this case. come on people SLANE 2005 with 50 cent - no chance - I hope... then again they had Madonna last year :rolleyes:

IceHawk · 17-08-2005 09:26AM

Woohoo!
This is the best news I've heard all year.
And to anyone who bought tickets - Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

I'm not saying you deserve to be treated like this for your taste in 'music', but...

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

AFAIK, it sold out pretty damn fast.

20 Times 20 Times · 17-08-2005 09:43AM

eh what if you bought your ticket privatly and you are looking for a refund can you phone up ticket master ?

LundiMardi · 17-08-2005 09:48AM

doubt it as it will not have your name on the ticket.

Mangler · 17-08-2005 09:48AM

I heard the United Nations public health arm the W.H.O. intervened and cancelled it, there was no way they were going to let 80,000 tracky wearing Wayne and Waynettas congregate in such a small area of land for a whole day, just think what effects it would have on the enviroment, all those cans of dutch gold being thrown into the rivers and streams along with the combined smoke from 80,000 packets of John Player blue, would create a smog cloud the size of the County and increase global warming. there was also fears of an Air Strike by the Irish Government, there was rumours that they were going to throw the USAF a few quid to Nalpalm Slane during the gig.
