    One big act left to be announced and some rumours suggest it is Bon Jovi - source 96fm

    Looking at the schedule, that would be Sunday June 31 I'd imagine then if it's happening. Might have to wait until the two Dublin shows sell out before announcing it.

    Bon Jovi would be a poor follow up to Megadeth from last year. I hope that they aren't considered as the token hard rock/metal band at the Marquee this year. We should know who that act will be soon, given that Megadeth were annonced around this time last year.

    I'll eat my hat if Bon Jovi play. Why would they when they can sell out an arena 5 times bigger than the run down hole infested tent that is the Marquee. 96fm should stick to their stupid voice-overs and lame give-aways.

    Megadeth would be good alright, sorry I missed Slayer when they played a few years back.

    well I'm all for bringing international acts to Cork but I just feel the promoters are being lazy because they know the attraction of international acts coming to Cork will sell anyway.

    I think Dara O'Briain said it best when he described the Marquee as Cork's planetarium ;)

    A jaysus, big act (in fairness) but the band resemble more of a cabaret act than a rock group nowadays.

    Had a listen to grinderman there earlier and they seem alright but they have a very specific sound thats hard to tune into.


    Im still of the opinion than this is possibly the worst lineup for the Marquee in years.


    Whats Danzig up ta? :P

    ROFL, my earlier post in a similar thread here on boards was so spot on.

    Would it be best to queue at a ticketmaster outlet or order online to get tickets to the marquee? About eight friends and I are looking for tickets to Lil' Wayne on July 4th!

    I got tickets for Paul Simon also.. But they're sitting! and I hate the seats at the Marquee.. Do you think there's a chance I could just manage to get into the standing?

    I would presume for Paul Simon the standing area would be common to all while the seated section will be restricted to those with seat tickets, anyone agree?

    Paul Simon is one of those artists where you could happily sit for the entire gig and have a great time, I know I would anyway.

    Oh yes, because the people who would go to the Marquee to see the show on the night would SO get in your way. (somehow) I hope ye buy yer Christy Moore tickets, who knows, he might even come back next year if he sells out on the day.

    Oh of course I'm happy to even have tickets! I was just wondering if I could push my luck and get to the standing area without getting thrown out! It's probably not possible though. I seen him there in 2009 and I was standing.. I prefer to stand at his gigs, but I'm happy to even have tickets.

    I had seated tickets a couple of years ago for Kanye West. And I ended up standing about half way through. No problems.

    that's what I was saying, I think you will have no problem moving from your seat into the standing area, seems like the sensible approach for a show like this.

    Enjoy the gig, I've seen him before and he's excellent, a true musician but the ticket price is so damn high, €77 for a standing ticket:eek:
