Lauryn and Liam make 6 gigs at II park in Cork, have been told that's the full amount taking place there. Nice addition to the gig scene in Cork, though I don't think I'll be heading to any of these.

Delighted about Vampire Weekend too.

Yeah looks like there's 6 gigs there Thursday to Wednesday bar Monday. So unless another gig or 2 gets added you might be right. Think there were only 2 or 3 gigs there last year. Wonder will Marquee have same number of gigs as a result of less. Could see acts like Walking On Cars and Hozier playing there other years. Good to have more venues in summer even if they are only temporary! 3 years today since sod turning at Events Centre..

There were no concerts at Irish Independent park last year, was there? The only one I can remember there at any stage was Il Divo a few years back!

The event licence application is for 6 concerts this year so that's our lot.

The Marquee would surely have had to cast the net a bit wider anyway because you'd have assumed Hozier, Walking on Cars, the Coronas would have been on their list. They might have tried for Liam Gallagher and George Ezra too, though I'd expect those too to require bigger venues than the Marquee... Wouldn't surprise me if the Marquee was about 15/16 gigs this year if those lot are all off the list but they might be able to drum up a few surprises (Versatile, for example).

I'd have liked some overlap between Trinity and Marquee - Foals, Janelle Monae, Vampire Weekend are all great and while I wouldn't be going to New Order or Stereophonics, I'd imagine they'd have sold pretty well too if they were on in Cork.

I could have sworn there were gigs there last year or year before but looking there looks like there wasn't.. Was Il Divo definitely the last one there yeah? Maybe I'm thinking of Thomond Park or something..!

Wilco doing London, Manchester and Glasgow at the end of September, so hopefully an Irish gig will be announced soon too...

Some overlap would have been great. There's some acts there I'd like to see and would probably have gone to if I lived in Dublin but living in Cork I don't think I'd take time off work and get a hotel for the night to see them.

Aibnb could be the way to go with hotel prices being mad in Dublin but having the take the time off on top of that is massive disincentive for a lot of people

lizzylad84 · 13-02-2019 11:34pm

Not sure if it's been mentioned it Midge ure playing the Olympia in October

lc180 · 14-02-2019 8:04pm

Dave Hause + The Mermaid are playing the Workmans on May 13th.

Saw him a couple times, most recently with The Gaslight Anthem in Vicar St last summer, puts on a good show just a pity it's a Monday night gig.

Eod100 · 18-02-2019 12:51pm

Announcing gigs for December already, is it just me or are gigs being announced much earlier? Happy Mondays playing Vicar Street on 5th December.

They're playing on Dun Laoghaire pier...

That's a new one on me!

Three Irish gigs in a row, in different Counties? I can't ever remember another decent sized band ever doing that? Maybe if I include Belfast I might be able to come up with one, but we're also pretty spoiled for festivals now more than ever.

He's obviously persona non grata at the moment but Ryan Adams and the Cardinals played Dublin, Galway and Cork back in 2006. He may have played Belfast too. Not sure if he qualifies as decent sized though!

In a row?
Still pretty good. I couldn't think of any.

Yeah on the same tour. I can't remember if it was 3 days in a row or if he took a day off. I went to the Dublin one in the Olympia. He played the Black Box in Galway. Haven't a clue about Cork.

Were they a week or two apart?

Madness doing it old style

Fly into Cork, Schoolbus to Limerick gig, then next day up to Dublin gig, then down to Waterford gig.

I just can't remember seeing it. May have been a few.

spindex · 18-02-2019 11:18pm

Bruce Springsteen

How is there such a large market for American Country music in Ireland ???

The country 2 country thing has become an annual thing and a few solo acts often play here

Personally find a lot of it sounds the same

See Garth Brooks. The midlands would've emptied out and all been in Croker.

Any word on Eddie Vedder in Malahide?

I think it has all been quiet since The Who announced the UK gig was going to be a european exclusive gig - which could mean anything from a 2019 version of Tommy to a special guests concert along the lines of the Last Waltz.

Or just that it is the only European gig for them this year (I doubt).

I still believe that Eddie Vedder will play Malahide castle.
The person that told me (other versions may vary) about Malahide, is involved in setting up the concerts, but............. They get their info from somebody involved in politics. I have no idea if it is the Taoiseach or Michael D Higgins etc. :pac:

But it does not rule out The Who playing as a headline act for it.
