Something tells me it will be Lady Gaga next year

Jaysus i hope you're wrong.What would be the advantage of having Lady Gaga at it,except to sell out the tickets and to boost up Lord Henry and MCDs funds.Bringing the like of her and Madonna to Slane just further wrecks the credibility and status of the event as a whole.Slane might have been good back in the day when outdoor gigs were rare enough and there was no such thing as annual festivals but nowadays it's only an annual gig for people that never go to gigs.

But at the same time it must be a nightmare to try and get decent rock acts to headline it when such a thing is rare as hell nowadays.They should have Muse,R.A.T.M. and ACDC at it next year,all on the one bill.That would be sweet

Oh my ****ing god. That's what passes for talent these days?

Really?

I like KoL but their last 2 albums have been a bit.....over produced.
In the beginning they had a nice simplistic raw sound to them.

Problem is, most people think its real.

Should have parody in the title or something.

Napper Hawkins · 30-05-2011 09:56AM

Absurdum · 30-05-2011 10:10AM

Supported by Jedward, Crystal Swing, Chris de Burgh & Johnny Logan.

Must throw on the DVD I have of the last good Slane, 2003. Good times.

Exactly,nail on head,i was offered free tickets for this and turned them down straight away,honestly wouldnt go if you paid me,once was enough,awful venue,its an event first and foremost,the music is secondary,there are people who will go no matter who is playing......80 quid to stand in a field in the middle of nowhere?? Jesus

Oh and it wasnt the worst line up,Bryan Adams played there before so there you go,Mr music for people who arent really into music himself

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ****ing chance of that happening here. Pity.

LisaLowlife · 30-05-2011 11:31AM

Ah I heard it was a good day out all the same

Wouldnt be my cup of tea at all though

GampDub · 30-05-2011 11:49AM

Was at the gig...

Thin Lizzy are sadly merely a tribute act these days but they did get the crowd going!

Elbow were unfortunatly lost on the majority of the crowd - I'm a fan and even I couldnt enjoy as most around me barely acknowledged they were even on Stage - wrong time and place for them!

As for KoL, I'm a fan of their early stuff, have never even listened to their latest album in full, they put on a good show! But they literally just bounced from song to song... most of the crowd (me included) were suitablly intoxicated by the time they came on and I think they were just the soundtrack to people having a bit of fun (could have been anybody on stage to be honest) which is all I expected from the day and was exactly what I got... a good day out with friends having a laugh with some live music to go with it...

Organisers finally seem to have got things right too, logistics where so much better this year which helped. Only gripe would have been the bar situation (Carlsberg only and hour long queue's) but then again thats the same at pretty much any big concert you go too!

Like I said though it was a good day out with friends for me with a bit of entertainement thrown in - cant go wring there!!!

This is just a suggestion for a possible line-up next year for Slane 2012 which would definitely make me go:
Arcade Fire
The Black Keys
Bon Iver

That would be unreal!

Vicxas · 30-05-2011 01:06PM

How was the gig? Any good?

Proxy · 30-05-2011 01:44PM

Glad this year went off without many hitches. I, like many posting above, wouldn't cross the road to see KOL, and I saw Elbow in the O2 in March, so was happy not going despite all my friends going.

Slane is now an event more than just the bands that play. I'm fed up with Irish "get as locked as possible in a field" events. It's just... pointless. I can get locked in a field at home and not have to get on a bus for ages to go to a field to get in a queue to pay exorbitant prices for watery Heineken.

My friends all came back with ridiculous stories of not remembering a band or missing all of Elbow cause they were queuing at the bar or at the jacks. Screw that. I'm sure the bands must get pretty fed up of it too.

Dyr · 30-05-2011 02:08PM

What suprises me is the amount of people bringing their kids to it...thats quite odd. I presume most people attend these events to drink and engage in slack jawed gawping tbh

Only band around now that could do Slane justice is Muse.
