Block A looking good to me...…

Duffy98 · 22-03-2019 10:55am

I'd say the ten club presale sold most of the tickets and the three one only had a handful available and this morning was just a technical glitch of some description would have been cool to see him live but not at the prices he's offering. Hopefully he brings pearl jam back here cause that will be more enjoyable

Well in fairness there's sections of Block A with a very small angle offset from the stage and then there's others with a great view.

Doors open at 6.30pm according to my ticket??? What time would you think people should aim to arrive? Is there any support act (other than Glen H) on before hand would you think?

Would like to be there in plenty of time and soak up a bit of atmosphere but not stuck sat in a seat patiently for 3 hours before the show!

Thanks

Glenn Hansard is the support... he'll probably be on after 7.. Eddie at 8.30 is my guess

Just spend all the extra time queuing for the poster - easy!

I presume they are using the same spot as Beatyard?

It's this year's equivalent of 2018's Flight of the Conchords/Taylor Swift/The National clash.
Double whammy on all three (June 15th and 16th), though I acknowledge that the Flight of the Conchords shows were rescheduled dates.

I have seen every act on the bill for the three days. Very reasonable ticket prices though, for a change.

Yea i only got into the Phonics after his solo gig so missed it. Somewhere like Whelans would be unreal tho ha

Brass Against doing an Irish tour. Unfortunately the Dublin date is the same day as Slane. Was at their gig in the Button Factory a few weeks back and they were great!

Damn it.

Another one clashes with Metallica.

I have missed last one in Button Factory so looks like trip to Cork or Belfast for me.

I went to the Roy Orbison gig as I won tickets (and actually wanted to go). It was very good and I did enjoy it but it felt very odd knowing it wasn't him (obviously). The show was embarrassingly short though and a total rip off had you paid for tickets.

Was there a big cheer when the hologram appeared on stage?

In fairness, that hologram isnt a young man any more. Not easy to do a long set.

Eod100 · 26-03-2019 6:10pm

Wonder do their families get anything from it? Do record companies own the rights to the music and to have it performed live? Wonder will we see artists in future having instructions not to turn them into a hologram after their death :P.

66-77 euro to watch a hologram ,people have more money than sense it seems.

It's interesting, I remember a Michael Jackson hologram was developed and 'performed' at the Billboard Music Awards a few years back.

ABBA are currently developing something similar, a live concert-style show with band and dancers surrounding avatars showing them as they were in their prime.

Yep his family own the image rights and essentially lease them to the production. Royalties for the songs go to whoever owns the music rights. His children were heavily involved in the whole thing.

Prince called the technology demonic which some saw as his request not to be a hologram.

The Orbison show was about 55 minutes with three or four video intervals about Roy, some of which looked from the 90s. He quite literally rose from the ground at the start which was so creepy and then sunk back in for the intervals. Thanked his orchestra each song and turned around when a backing vocalist sang to watch them. Enjoyable but very odd.

He was a dick though, didn't take one crowd request.

Any chance The Killers will play Dublin before Belfast?

I hope they have a 3arena show, and there is nothing booked for the 3arena dates in the period before June 25th Belfast show.

I highly doubt it. They played two gigs in fairly quick succession in the last 18 months in Dublin

Not exactly good advice on this occassion tbh, in my experience as someone living in county Tipp the cheap flights rarely exist in Cork so find myself flying out of Dublin due to cost. Belfast is only an hour and a half from Dublin it's a small island, all Slash dates there bar around 3 (Belfast being one of them) are festival slots and not headline sets.

Heh. Remember when Jim Carroll had his On the Record blog he used count festival/outdoor concerts in summer and used be 100 odd most years. Wonder what it would be these days!
