Xpose also 'announced' U2 were gonna play The Aviva stadium and that was proved wrong.

heard kol are confirmed

That would be a terrible blow to Slane, truth be told, as they are not a headline band...not in those numbers

I'd love to go but it's unlikely I'll get the chance because I won't like any of the acts

I'd go if Pearl Jam or Alice In Chains played any kind of role for example but would be hesitant to go if KOL or Paul McCartney were headliners or both performed 1 and 2 on the bill (the undercard would have to be phenomenal)

On the other hand, a repeat of 92 (Guns N Roses/Faith No More) or a repeat of 87 (David Bowie) would be incredible!

Well I guess Paul McCartney is outta the running for Slane now that he has confirmed a gig in the RDS in June!!!

Well if its the Kings of Leon, its gonna be the biggest disappointment ever and possibly the worst Slane headliner ever, The band have a few good tunes, I'm not a big fan, but I've seen them live and the gig was like watching paint dry they are very boring nothing stands out about them!!!

If the Kings of Leon are headliners I cant see the support slot been anything too special!!!

akenny01

like I said before..

Kings of leon just aint big enough... Yeah they might sell it out in england, Ireland is a lot smaller in size and population... don't see it happening,,, if it does then its a joke

What about Madona

KOL have 3 good albums, but they have played in ireland 6 times within the last 4 years. (3 Oxegens in a row, 2 nights in the RDS and the O2) I dont think they will be able to attract 80K people, mainly because of this. IF it was their first gig in Ireland in 4-5 years, it would be a sell out. As you mentioned, they are not the best live band in the world, they are OK, but no MUSE, U2, Kasabian, ACDC.....

As for the support, last year I thought Kasabian and the Prodigy were amazing support. The Prodigy gave a better on stage performance than Oasis (but Oasis were still amazing )

If KOL are playing, i might go, but it will depend on the support acts. There will probably be 4 support bands, 1 of which will probably be the blizzards, coronas, Mundy, script.......Token Irish band. hope they get a decent irish band like Rep of loose or Bell X1.

Ha i thought about making one of those last night. There is a KOL one going around aswell

Insane Rambling

Please god no.... not KOL ! It wouldn't sell out. Can't imaging slane not full. ACDC would be kick ass.

As another person really interested in going to Slane this year, I have a real bad feeling we're all going to end up disappointed.:(
I think Lord thingy is a bit too eager to please, and will end up getting a commerically successful band who are riding a bit of a crest of a wave, and I think at the mo that points to KOL.
I love their early stuff, and have seen them 3 times, but jesus, can they just feck off back to Tennessee and write some good music. Leave Slane to a really big established Rock band! It's what Slane is for!!!!

nommm

Does Ireland really need to see the KOL live again? After their appearance at Reading last year, I'm suprised they didn't break up. I lost the little bit of respect I had for them that night.

dougs09

what the hell is it with the irish and the love for KOL, all you heard from that oxegen lot was them screaming for KOL and they got them 2 years in a bloody row, if they play at slane, thats 3 years on the trot they've played here, so everyone who wanted to see em, would of gone to either of the oxegen shows, so do they really think they will have enough wanting to go, to sell out 80,000 plus tickets?

anyway imo, they need to give a special act this year as the disaster last year would def be putting folk off going again, i sure as hell know i'll not be going unless the act is someone real special, and KOL wouldnt even make my top 15, i really dont like them, and sex on fire, is one of the most overplayed songs ever!!

df1985

after going last yr it would take someone very special to even get me to consider going to slane again. KOL just dont meet that. like most KOL fans ive seen them enough times at this stage. if it was their first gig in ireland for 2-3 yrs maybe, but its overkill now and their last album wasnt as good as previous. unfortunately it was very radio friendly, the mass public like anything they are forced to listen to, hence the reason i think it probably will be them.the amount of mates i have who werent that big of fans, then sex on fire came along and it all changed.

apart from AC/DC who really else could it possibly be.

dougs09

well i do agree, at the moment, there arent enough big bands out there who i am dying to see, would ac/dc pull in a big crowd? didnt the tickets sell out pretty fast the first time they played here a year or two back, also, didnt they come back again since?

i ainta an acdc fan anyway, and unless its summat unique, like a full beatles re-union, with john and all back, then i'll not go lol

Manc-Red

That thing that gets me with most of the posters on here is that there not open to new, quality music.

Bitch & moan about not getting some washed out 60's & 70's rebels all you want - I for one find it refreshing to have arguably the finest young live band in the world headlining Slane.

Just my 2 cents.

Well said Manc-Red!!!

Arguably being the most important word in that post by Manc-Red, of course

They played during the day at oxegen 2007 as well! (3 years in a row). Their last gig in ireland before everyone was forced to like them

Well kasabian and glasvegas played at slane last year. New bands are not going to sell 80k tickets, thats why the headliners are always "massive" bands with 4-5 albums under their belt.

I only managed to get tickets to their second show last year, best gig of my life! AC/DC, with good support would probably sell out.

AC/DC
them crooked vultures
The Answer
Rep of Loose

That would be a cool line up imo!
