Looking at previous posts there's a lot of repeated questions we already have the answers for - cost of tickets, lineups etc. All info is ticketmaster.ie.

For those who are still unsure

1) Big gig in Storehouse - You cannot buy tickets for this, it's all corporate/celebs/comp winners etc

2) There are 4 other decent sized gigs where the lineups have been announced. These are all sold out - tickets were around the €20 mark

3) There are about 40 other smaller gigs in pubs around the country. Tickets are approx €9 - many of these are sold out but some still on sale. you will see 2 smaller acts and 1 "big" act such as david gray, sugababes etc. Which "big" act is playing which smaller venue has not yet been announced - it's supposed to be some form of lottery type system.

My question is - has anyone heard any whisperings of which headline acts are playing the smaller venues - somebody must know something!!

Sorry I meant which act goes with each venue. I saw the lists of acts. I'm going to book one of the venues and hope to catch Calvin Harris or David Gray. I've never heard of Kasabian before.

The lads in Pygmalion bar have said the they've gotten wind of who's playing the Powerscourt Centre and say it's the best act by far. Can they know this or is this just shameless self promotion?

DUBLIN, Sept. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- With just seventeen days to go until the
Arthur's Day celebrations begin in Dublin on the 24th September, GUINNESS is
today revealing the latest impressive line-up of artists, A-list presenters
and international broadcast partners taking part, as the countdown begins to
the global festivities.

Around the world amazing talent will perform at Arthur's Day events including
Sean Paul as headlining act at the live show in Lagos, Nigeria and The Black
Eyed Peas performing at celebrations in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. These
remarkable global events will see over 60 artists performing more than 60
hours of live music in just one day in events in cities around the world.

Joining previously announced artists Sir Tom Jones, Estelle, Razorlight,
Sugababes and Kasabian at the Dublin Arthur's Day celebrations are Roots
Manuva, Paolo Nutini, The Magic Numbers, OK Go and White Belt Yellow Tag,
along with some of the best live acts in Ireland today including The High
Kings, Jerry Fish and the Mudbug Club, General Fiasco, Spring Break, David

Hosting the event in Dublin will be Cat Deeley and Ronan Keating who will take
to the stage in the St. James's Gate Brewery, and will be joined by Colin
Murray, Michelle De Swarte and Michelle Doherty who will be presenting live
from the four studio venues. The Arthur's Day celebrations will be beamed
across the globe from Ireland, UK, US and Africa via broadcast partners SKY,
ITV2 and DirecTV.

The Arthur's Day celebrations, to mark 250 years since Arthur Guinness signed
the 9,000 year lease on the St James's Gate Brewery in Dublin, will begin in
the Irish capital at 17:59 local time with a toast to Arthur and carry on
around the world in Lagos, Kuala Lumpur and New York.

In Dublin, 33 events will take place simultaneously, including a major
performance at the St James's Gate Brewery and four studio venues as well 28
intimate gigs at pubs around Dublin hosting local acts and surprise guest
artists from the A-list line-up. The full line-up for Dublin studio venues and
local acts for pub venues has also been announced today.*

New artists announced today are: Born Blonde, Concerto for Constantine, David
Kitt, Fiona Melady, Fionn Regan, General Fiasco, Jerry Fish and the Mudbug
Club, Leopold, Lumiere, OK Go, Oppenheimer, Paolo Nutini, Roots Manuva, Sean
Paul, Sharon Shannon, Spring Break, The Coronas, The High Kings, The
Infomatics, The Magic Numbers and White Belt Yellow Tag.

As part of the Arthur's Day celebrations The Guinness & Co. has pledged to
donate 6 million euros to the Arthur Guinness Fund which will be active from
September 2009. Arthur Guinness and his family were responsible for some of
the most well known acts of philanthropy in Ireland and to honour and continue
this legacy we are establishing this fund with the goal of enabling and
empowering individuals with skills and opportunities to deliver a measured
benefit to their communities.

Damn...should've gone for one of the 4 'big' venues when I had the chance. When I was buying the tickets I thought bands like Noah&the Whale and David Gray would be playing the pubs aswell as the guest 'big' acts....ah well, I still have a 1 in 30 chance of seeing tom jones!!!

Not sure that anyone is going to Dorans, its still closed isn't it?

However I think its interesting that there is only one band listed for there whilst the others have two, perhaps the proper stage set up may mean there will be a couple of the bigger bands playing there.

Apparently they will!

All the special guests performing in the four studio venues and in Hopstore 13 including Tom Jones, Kasabian and Estelle will make an unannounced appearance for 30 incredible minutes when they perform live in an intimate pub setting for under €10.

I'm sure there will - The Penny Hill in Lucan and I would imagine some of the other Louis Fitzgerald pubs are giving a free pint of Guinness to the first 100 customers.

Will there be a last batch of tickets on sale anytime soon or are the gigs 100% sold out?

It's a bit crap that a lot of the pubs are ticket only, prefer to pay on the door and go see different bands in different pubs...
