goodgolfer64 · 28-05-2011 10:25AM #1

lalee17 · 28-05-2011 10:26AM

I'll take it

mikemac · 28-05-2011 10:27AM

Giving it away for free?

lalee17 · 28-05-2011 10:28AM

If so, you're next in line feelingstressed.

Flojo · 28-05-2011 10:29AM

As much as I love Kings of Leon... there is no way in hell I would have paid 80quid to go see them.

Knifey Spoony · 28-05-2011 10:30AM

Why did you buy the ticket in the first place?

And you have never heard of Thin Lizzy? They may be a tribute band now, but still if you havn't heard of them then there is something very, very wrong.

Azureus · 28-05-2011 10:39AM

The amount of people trying to sell their Slane tickets in the last week has been hilarious! Mostly down to Champions League final tonight I reckon, but the lineup didnt warrant me buying one in the first place.

The prospect of standing in the wind and rain isn't helping I'd say.

bonerm · 28-05-2011 10:45AM

I think this is where Slane went all wrong.

Thin Lizzy, The Rolling Stones, U2, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Queen , David Bowie, Guns N' Roses, Neil Young, R.E.M. ............... The Verve and Robbie Williams.

Would defo agree with people desperatly trying to shift tickets got two last night for 120. The internets full of them even new posts this morning.

True. It would have to be a very good line up to peel me off the sofa. No, ill take a few beers and the European cup final by the fire over a day standing in the rain in a big field in Meath.

Atomic Pineapple · 28-05-2011 10:49AM

Madonna? The Eminem attempt?

Its a brutal line up today for 80 quid, KOL nowhere near good enough to match some of the better headliners. I see KOL when they only had good albums along with the Pixies and a much better line up in Landsdowne road years ago for about 50 euro.

I bought a Slane ticket hoping the line up would be great but its been a huge let down.

Tubsandtiles · 28-05-2011 10:52AM

Op if you don't think the Kings of Leon are good live why do you have a ticket ?, they sound alot better I will say indoors eg the 02 but... White lies are the best band I have ever seen live, Mona are a new band starting off

, Elbow are amazing live and we all know what Thin Lizzy are

. Whats the big deal with people saying its a crap lineup on Facebook, you bought the ticket for the headline act before the supporting acts were unannounced

. I couldn't stand the majority of those people only singing along to sex on fire anyhows

You should have waited 'til the lineup was announced :P

skregs · 28-05-2011 10:59AM

Last years one was muck too. Oasis and the Prodigy would have been stellar if it was still 1996.

And eh, weren't the Stereophonics headliners at one point?
Fairly major drop in quality compared to Queen or Bowie

That lineup gives me a boner, right up to The Verve :rolleyes: What was the change that happened there?

KerranJast · 28-05-2011 11:04AM

Last great Slane was 2003. Feeder, QoTSA, Foo Fighters and RHCP. It was epic.

mike65 · 28-05-2011 01:34PM

Slane really needs to land AC/DC next year or it'll be a Take That/Westlife double header!

AKA AC/AC

Festivals are apparently great craic, as long as you aren't there for the music. So I've been told, anyhoo.

Biggins · 28-05-2011 01:53PM

The line-ups for this person and his taste, have been crap for years.

Yep, from then on it became deeply disappointing for me. Dire.

mike65 · 28-05-2011 04:05PM

Part of the problem is that there are fewer bone-fida rock bands around these days who can fill a big bowl with enough noise and pyrotechnic action.

super_furry · 28-05-2011 04:06PM

I think the problem is over exposure. Kings of Leon seem to be playing here every six months.

Snowie · 28-05-2011 04:09PM

The problem being that every album the kings of leon have done.

Sounds like the last one there **** there sticking to that same old yay were on winner so why change what we do

wel kol it gets Fvcking boring

OutlawPete · 28-05-2011 04:11PM

I was too young to see Springsteen there, remember all my brothers heading off to it, bastards, would love if he played there again.

Was only ever there once, GnR '92, was burnt to a crisp and don't recall anything about the gig.

Alter-Ego · 28-05-2011 04:12PM

Slane badly needs a Led Zeppelin reunion. Now that would be epic!

Snowie · 28-05-2011 04:13PM

slane need left feild Underworld and orbital Now that would be awesome

super_furry · 28-05-2011 04:13PM

Bet your bollocks it'll be Lady Gaga next year.

Profondo Rosso · 28-05-2011 04:19PM

That's the state of music, nowadays. If Kings of Leon get to headline Slane, it doesn't say much about the bands that are around.

The "rockstar" is dead. Now it's just lads having a handy time making lots of money and touring.

Zebra3 · 28-05-2011 04:23PM

Kings of Leon are shyte.

Every song seems to be just the one poxy tune recycled.

possibly worst slane line up ever?
