    Have they played Cork before ? Certainly not in recent times, solid announcement, will sell well i’d say

    I'd be shocked if this wasn't a sell out. Their shows are something else.

    I went to their gig in the 3 arena last year and they had to section off the seating at the top areas but other than that it was a good sell , sure it must have been considering they brought them back , They put on a class show if youve not seen their glastonbury set than id recommend having a look at that , I think itll sell fairly well down here im delighted its something out of the box compared to the usual acts. Im up at Green Day the night before but ill definitley be going to see them the day after and at €50 a ticket they arent pricing people out of seeing them , be a bit weird though cause itll be daylight unless they come on late but i imagine theres a curfew in place , I wouldnt be complaining their a great act

    Another midweek gig, Tuesday to be precise. Already going to two weekday gigs this year I'll have no holidays left in work at this rate.

    I don't get it, the majority of their hardcore fanbase are touching the 40 mark (me included). Last gig in the point wasn't sold out, and that was a bank holiday Monday, and was mainly older. Schools and colleges I'm guessing were off that week and it didn't sell out.

    I can see another crowd like the Marley Park gig, glued to their phones and chatting in circles, backs to the stage. Was also outdoor and was too bright to see the visuals for half show.

    Im still going, hotel is booked.

    Its been a good while since i have seen them, but it was a great show, kind of stuff, i am not normally into, and they always have a good light show, so its a good one, to hang at the back and take the whole thing in.

    I would have put the majority of their fanbase at over 40.

    he could sell similar levels for Croke Park to what The Rolling Stones did

    Be cool to see an actual member of the beatles live in person. Ringo is still going around and hes almost 80. Ticket prices will be rough i imagine

    Next few weeks we'll see a few more I'm sure something big before Christmas. Hopefully Tool will play Europe after the Australia/New Zealand leg, maybe Beck will announce something later considering he has an album out this week. Big Thief may make a quick stop gig after the UK, and as always Pearl Jam rumours will always persist, and let's see about RATM. Festival lineups will give an idea.

    Overall I think 2020 is sizing up well so far.

    Time will tell but normally they would be a few whispers around.

    Metallica was announced last sep and GnR was early dec 2016

    After metallica I said I would not go back there but I'd consider it now for Acdc instead of the hassle of flights etc

    From The Irish examiner website ....
    Motown icon Diana Ross is to play the Marquee in Cork next June.

    Alongside Dusty Springfield, Aretha Franklin, Martha Reeves and Dionne Warwick, Ross is considered one of the original pop divas of the 1960s.

    She will play The Marquee in Cork on June 25, as will be revealed in an advert in Monday's Irish Examiner, ahead of her appearance at the Glastonbury festival the following Sunday. Tickets go on sale on November 25 at 9am.

    Ross rose to fame in girl group The Supremes, before launching her solo career as a disco singer the 1980s.

    Her back catalogue includes hits like Baby Love, Upside Down and I’m Coming Out.

    Cat Stevens will perform at the Marquee on June 24, Jenny Greene returns to Cork with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra on June 26 while Christy Moore brings 'Magic Nights' to the tent on June 27.

    The long-running Live at the Marquee concert series comes to an end in 2020 as developers who own Cork Showgrounds intend to be on site after concerts finish next summer.

    Its weird isnt it like Eddie does plenty of shows here but he doesnt bring the band over I cant understand it they would make an absolute fortune what would even be the right venue for them RDS? Saw him alright back in July he's amazing live but its not the same when he doesnt have the rest of the band with him ye reckon its a promoter issue that they refuse to play here weve see it with similar acts that they just avoid playing here its bizzare

    Very good bookings if true. Hopefully theyll do well, not sure how the Coronas/Nathan Carter/Jenny Green crowd will feel about it though.

    I doubt he has final say in where they tour, bit harsh saying he doesn't bring rest of the band with him.

    Otherwise, fully agree. They'd sell a big outdoor gig fine. Could be a promoter issue, costs would be high I'd say. Insurance companies might jump prices after the dope at the last gig. Then their tours are weird as well, only do like 12 shows and seems they fit these around their holidays.
