    Any indication who the support will be?

    Biffy Clyro would be the dream for me (think the supported them in some of the European shows in 2017)

    Lets hope not, a proper rock band would be more suitable as support.

    Will deffo go to this. Reason being that GNR gigs have always alluded me. Just always seemed to have something on when they were around. Appetite still goes down as one of my favourite albums and there are bout 15 great tracks between the 2 Illusions.

    Funny how these comeback gigs go. I remember the Stone Roses comeback in Phoenix Park, but so exciting and energetic. But when they played in Marlay a year or 2 later, it was a bit of a damp squid. Like someone else here said, I think the crowd, the quality of the songs and Slash will keep the gig on a positive note.
    And Axl's vocals will be a small point. Can't be any worse that Ian Brown's that night in Marley anyway.

    What does a damp squid mean? Surely a damp squid is a happy squid, not as happy as a moist squid and no way happier than a wet squid but damp is kinda good when it comes to marine creatures?

    Anyone know what the capacity is for a Marlay Park gig? Reckon tickets will be available for a while? This is just the worst timing, I won't have a bean next week.

    Saw them in London in 2017 great show but by god London Stadium is massive

    Possibly wont make this due to having 2 concerts the week after with only a day gap. Hotels in dublin are way to expensive esp with the soccer been on around this time

    This will get a lot of the same custom as the HELLAMEGA tour which is on 2 days after this

    I saw them at Slane, they were brilliant. What's Marlay Park like as a venue?

    Marley Park is an awful venue. 1 hour queue to buy beer at the Stone Roses and impossible to get a taxi unless you leave early.

    Once I saw the post on the 2020 Gigs thread I checked out the website. Signed up for the membership at $40, then got myself 2 tickets at 3pm. To be honest I was surprised the tickets were "only" €100 plus the TM fees, especially for a smaller venue like Marlay Park.

    Saw Axel in RDS in 2006 and I thought he was brilliant. Was at the sh!tshow that was the Point in 2010. Missed them at Slane last year.

    I'm a massive fan. Maybe we'll have some new music before then which would be great.

    Can't wait for this one!

    Any chance of getting the pre-sale code you used.

    Think it’s about 30,000, I like the venue but I’d say it’s tough enough to get back to the city. Although the luas is walking distance if you know where to go.

    Was there for Stone Roses, yeah it's a bit of a pain getting back to town but at least it's not Slane.

    I dunno, wouldn't want Biffy upstaging the main act which they'd be more than capable of doing

    Slane is just painful. At this stage it would take led zeppelin to get me back there. I live walking distance from Marley, for the stone roses we had a bbq and strolled down.

    I think they can ramp up the capacity if they need to, plenty of space.

    All the other euro venues are between 55 - 70k capacity.

    Maybe but there is a stream running right through that field cutting it in two with pretty much one half being used for the gigs.

    I'm not sure what my opinion is, I haven't listened to their full catalogue. They did influence some great bands though for instance Brad Delson of Linkin Park was influenced by them.

    I'm sure you can, but they might force you to park the car a fair distance away, I'd say most go by public transport

    You can, the streets nearby are all closed off but if your happy to walk a mile or two then you’d be grand.
    Edit to add the main road right past the entrance is open all day just the local ones closed to non residents. Just in case someone needs dropping off and there is generally parking in the park at the back entrance for gigs although not sure how you get a permit for that.

    Was there for queen last year and the sound and setup was great but I imagine this will be a bigger setup with the stage back near the house
