    Really now, is that official??? They did a big announcement for all these people who are past their prime, and with the exception of BellX1 were never good.

    Yeah, they were officially announced today, along with Simple Minds, Des Bishop, Crosby Stills & Nash, John Spillane & Mick Flannery. Info on the shows here

    Only ones that interest me out of the latest added are Bell X1 and Mick Flannery, but I'm already gonna be seeing both acts live soon anyway so might give the marquee a miss.

    For some reason the Garth Brooks rumour will not go away

    Wouldnt mind seeing Blondie though the rest is a bit of a dissapointment.. was hoping for one of the big guys that are in the Country around that time.. U2, Eagles, Take that etc...

    Is that it then? Or is there more to be announced?

    All fingers and toes crossed and will pray to Bono the God of rock that they can find time around croker dates to come to the true capital... pigs will be flying over the Marquee 1st though I'd imagine.

    I'd settle for Take That though:D

    Although I won't have a bad word said about John Spillane, all the acts announced today are a serious let down.

    What about Bruce Springsteen? He's in Dublin around the same time.

    Very disappointing. Josh Ritter is pretty much the only act I'd bother going to see there.

    What a let down. They're all fairly washed out. Heard Blondie is brutal live these days.

    Was really hoping for Blur.


    Marquee, getting progressively worse, year by year.

    Apparently there is one more act to be announced soon. They really do need a big name to top it off....or improve it a bit anyway :/

    What about the Eagles? They are in Dublin Galway and Belfast around that time. Great live band - saw them in Dublin a few years back.

    Blondie have cancelled their gig, Aiken say it is due to circumstances beyond their control. Have heard it was conflicting with their tour schedule or something. The Prodigy will now be the opening act this year instead. Read as well that two more acts to be announced in the coming weeks.

    Yep, Debbie Harry is out..

    So we have room for a rock diva... hmmm.. Stevie Nicks anyone?? :D Fleetwood Macs tour will be over in the US at the end of May then they're reportedly on their way across the pond. Fingers crossed. Although, they'd hardly want to play our little tent in comparison to selling out the Amhpitheatres over there..:rolleyes:

    Em source? I see nothing about it.

    And if it is true, it will descend into farce!
