And Nicki Minaj has cancelled her gig for tonight at the last minute citing a highly dubious excuse.
Dont be surprised if this is not rescheduled due to terrible ticket sales.

In fairness all the ferries were cancelled. An hour before doors open though! Ouch.

It seems idiotic that the promoters would schedule a gig in Dublin a night after playing in Birmingham.
Minaj didnt go onstage until 9.20 last night .

They would've known early this morning if the ferry wasn't sailing.

An hour before doors open. Assume there were already people queuing?

As far as it seems there were no ferry cancellations last night or this morning so the excuse seems like bull.

the 10:40 Swift sailing was cancelled, and then the 14:10 Ulysses didn't sail until 16:45, not arriving until 8pm:

presume they were supposed to be on the Swift, then waited for the Ulysses which was delayed.

I haven't bothered to check Stena Line...

No freight on the Swift - so it wasn’t that

Could she not have used Garth Brooks stage, wasn't that out at sea somewhere at one point Music fans screwed again by promoters who clearly don't give a damn about the cost and inconvenience these late notices cause, easy knowing they don't have to compensate for v late cancellations where the position was surely known to them well before 5.45 with people queuing outside!

It's a lot of bull****, sold terribly.

Was checking over the past couple of days via ticketmaster app.

Then MCD were running competition to win '4 tickets'

4 tickets? Usually unheard of. Then needed to fill up an empty arena. Feel sorry to those who paid and travelled.

Black Sheep playing the sugar club, these were pretty big at the time, always on mtv raps and then just vanished.

late night friday 26th April 20euro + fees. 11:30PM to 2:30AM

Black Sheep are one of the slightly lesser-known groups of the NYC-based Native Tongues Collective (of which A Tribe Called Quest, Brand Nubian, De La Soul, and Jungle Brothers were the better known member groups) The duo rapidly gained success with their 1991 debut album “A Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing” on the back of a string of well-received singles: “Flavor of the Month”, “Similak Child”, “Strobelite Honey”, and especially with the release of the remixed single “The Choice Is Yours (Revisited)”.

Reminding myself it should be okay to post this as it's the 'rumoured and confirmed events' thread.

Florence and the Machine to play in Ireland this year.. Last November they were going to be one of the acts announced for Malahide Castle. They obviously haven't been announced, and are now still looking at the possibility of playing one of the festivals (I'm wondering if the Dun Laoghaire festival that was to be announced last week may have been one of those possibilities - that's just me).
Anyway, the latest 'version' that I have heard, is that promoters are looking at the possibility of switching them for Kodaline and putting Kodaline in Malahide.
Wherever the location, it is rumoured that they will be playing here.

I'm taking it with a pinch of salt, after I was told and was convinced it was true that PJ then EV would be playing Malahide. They didn't lie that he was coming, but the version was a load of balls. So may also be accurate the FATM will be playing.

EP GIANT POSTER

Jesus..
Wept..
:o:o:o:o:o
Ah well. They didn't lie.

I didn't even look at the EP lineup.
I do remember seeing the lineup, now I think about it. But not their name.
Sweet mother of God and all that's holy in heaven and earth.

Were they announced after the initial announcement?

Not a chance are Coldplay playing this year. If they were, tickets would've went on sale in 2018. Their tours are carefully planned and structured at least a year in advance like any stadium band.

Be mid 2021 at least before it ever happens they don't look to be releasing anything anytime soon. Slane 2021 is my guess cause they have played everywhere else

presale tickets are not usually particularly good. And it is VERY common for them to try and offload crap seats first to create panic amongst big fans, then save decent seats for casual fans who buy later (who would not have bothered if only nosebleeds were on sale).

Just remember the ticketmaster refund thing, and I think there is the ability to exchange.
