Icky Thump wrote: »well a festival idea is basically a few medicocre bands.
it would have to be on a bank holiday weekend
here is a sample of what it could look like
Saturday
Franz Ferdinand
Kasabian
Zutons
Saw Doctors
and then 3 or 4 local bands
Sunday
Stereophonics
Aslan
Delorentos
Mundy
and another 3 or 4 local bands
you would prob need 1 more big band or maybe a couple more medium sized bands
gates open at 12 noon on the sat and sun
both nights the gig ends at 11pm
tickets 80-90 quid
i think alort of people would pay that
if only 20,000 people went
20,000 x 80 = €1,600,000
ow i dont know the procedure for getting a band to play. but for arguements sake lest say TP payed Elton John €1 million to play last year(i doubt it was anywhere near that). if Elton cost that much then im pretty sure the bands ive mentioned above would cost less than that IN TOTAL. plaus the fact the local bands wouldnt cost anything as they have a chance to promote themselves. you could also get possibly a local grabnt for potentially bringing alot of people to the city for a weekend of festivalling(if 20,000 people bought tickets i doubt all of them would be from limerick)
so we are looking at TP making €1,600,000 from ticket sales
the local economy benifiting from 20,000 festival people(maybe 5-10k that would require hotels)
the bands playing would have a chance to sell their merchandise at the gigs plus alot of bands love to play festivals anyway(the chillies offered to play glastonbury for free but where turned down:D. we wont get the chillies but im just proving bands love festivals)
instead of paying for 1 HUGE band that might draw 15-20 thousand why not pay the exact same for 10 medium bands to play and draw the same crowd but for a whole weekend.........................
i swear im going to have to change my career ambitions or nothing good will happen event wise:rolleyes:
You've done a lot of thinking haven't you?!
Still don't know if it would be allowed for a few years anyway.Bruce or Phil would be amazing
Green day would be amazing
who ever we get they cant be playing in Dublin or it wont sell out here.
we need to get a proper rail way between cork limerick and galway. that way it would be alot easier for people to get here and we would sell out alot more of these events
Bus is quicker and still will be when the train station opens. Well, from Galway anyway, the Gort - Crusheen journey will make it a breeze.
Pink has sold out hasn't it?!0 -

I need to watch Wayne's World 2 again!:D.
Seriously though. Let's not kid ourselves. If people are going to fork out a few bob for a weekend they will go to somewhere like Prague or Barcelona as it would end up being the same price. Everyone has houses/caravans in Kilkee. Lot's of people would be there regardless of the festival as it is a holiday resort. It's the Cois Fairrige festival.
It's beggars belief to think a weekend festival in a stadium in Limerick would work.
i loved that movie
seriously though if it was advertised enough it would work. all you need is 2 big enough bands to draw a crowd. then the rest are just almost headliners.
if this was done on the May or August bank holiday weekend there is a chance we could have nice weather. all we need is to promote it. if anything the city should be involved in something like that. it would be huge for the city.
just because it isnt straight forward doesnt make it an impossible idea0 -
