Marlay Park: Morrissey and Radiohead

Frank Cronin

Radiohead and Morrissey set for summer visits

03 Mar 2006

Two much-anticipated acts will be making their way to Dublin in just a few month's time.

While the precise dates have yet to be confirmed, Hot Press can exclusively reveal that Morrissey and Radiohead are both playing separate gigs this summer in Dublin’s Marlay Park.

Thom Yorke and co are being supported by Beck who’s currently readying a 10th anniversary edition of Odelay. He’s also applying the finishing touches to a new album that he’s been assembling for the past two years with A-List producer Nigel Goodrich.

According to a well-placed source, Radiohead are also close to completing a new record, which is likely to feature ‘Bodysnatchers’ as its flagship single.

Great news, thanks for the info

Fantastic!

Delighted neither of them are playing festivals.

eclectichoney

indeed! i always prefer seeing a band on their own terms - a better set usually and less of the just dragging out the hits thing...

honru

This will probably be under Bud Rising label like last year. Expensive shítty beer!

Radiohead and Beck are a good combination though.

Evil Sausage

Love the fact that Radiohead are doing their own gig alright. Hopin for some crackin support this year. And yeah, I reckon this is all gonna be under the Bud Rising umbrella of gigs!

Heres hoping they'll still include Ireland in the club tour of the UK!!

Sounds strangely familiar to the V-festival headliner lineup.

No chance Radiohead'll play oxegen

Not with Chilis and the Who confirmed. Slane would be cool but if Marley is true the it won't be slane.

Le Rack

I've rumour of them doing ox aswell but yeah...

There was never any chance of them doing Oxegen. MCD wouldnt hold back on a big name like that if they had it in the bag and theyd have fed it to the rumour mill if they were just waiting confirmation. Your signature is really annoying btw le rack hurry up and sell those tickets.

I don't think that club tour is going to happen. There's been nothing mentioned about it since some vague comments by Ed O Brien.

Your rumours are worth nothing

Radiohead & Beck, that'll be great! I'd love for it to be at Argillan Castle, better venue than Marlay Park but at least it aint Slane

For some reason I can't see Radiohead sharing a stage with scientologist Beck...

Well according to Rolling Stone, Beck is planning on playing a few gigs with Radiohead. Signs are all positive!

thom & beck have even duetted in the past, it's his own business if he's a scientologist tbh

Beck supported Radiohead at Radiohead's homecoming gig in Oxford in 2001.

penexpers

Incidentally they have just been confirmed as headliners of Rock En Seine in Paris on 25/26 August, so a Dublin date the week before ties in nicely with this and V Festival.

Third_Echelon

yes....... fantastic news....

I definitely be getting tickets for this!!

I was predicting an Electric Picnic gig for radiohead, but this is even better!!

But it's within walking distance!

I've been to a lot of the Marley gigs, sometimes the sound can be dire if you stand too far back (White Stripes were deafening within the pit and barely loud in the main bulk of the crowd) but sometimes the PA and a good engineer can get it just right (Chemical Brothers!). I reckon Radiohead's engineer is up to it after their tent tour.

How do you know where I live? :-0
I live in D2 so it's not exactly walking distance. I can get the bus, just would have preferred to drive it

I went to REM there and we parked about a 10 min drive away and walked, the walk through the park to the gig area was the longest bit but the traffic was mayhem so it was well worth it.

Waltons

Will certainly be going to this! Hooray for Radiohead! Hopefully the new album will be out before they play

Sauron

Fantastic! I haven't been to a radiohead gig yet but I've only heard great things! I was holding out on oxegen tickets until I got news like this, can't wait.

whoot!
