Does anyone know exactly where the Galway gig is taking place? It says Folan Quay, but I've never even heard of the place, and I've been living in Galway for the last eight years!

On the website it says:
Folan Quay, Galway Harbour

Bands: David Gray, Imelda May, Newton Faulkner, The Magic Numbers, Sharon Shannon, Empire Saints, plus very special guests.
Tickets: €10

So I'd imagine that it's where the Volvo Ocean Village was, next to the Harbour Hotel, where the old tanks used to be.

Here's the most recent update I received on Arthur's Day:

COUNTDOWN TO ARTHUR’S DAY, 17:59 WHERE WILL YOU BE?

WESTLIFE, THE SCRIPT, IMELDA MAY AND SHARON CORR ADDED TO INCREDIBLE ARTHUR’S DAY LINE UP!

With only days to go, GUINNESS® & CO today announced that Westlife, one of Ireland’s most successful bands ever plus chart topping Irish sensations, The Script will perform alongside other international artists as part of the Arthur’s Day celebrations in Dublin on 23rd September.

With over 1,000 planned events nationwide, over 150 confirmed artists and 200 hours of live music performance; the excitement around the Arthur’s Day celebrations is mounting, with all ticket sales going to the Arthur Guinness Fund.

Arthur’s Day honours the remarkable legacy of Arthur Guinness, the pioneering brewer and philanthropist who signed the 9,000 year lease on the St. James’s Gate Brewery in 1759 and introduced GUINNESS to the world.

Also added to the incredible line up is Sharon Corr, who will play as part of the nationwide celebrations in Cork while Imelda May will also be appearing in a Cork City pub before raising a toast at 17:59 and performing at Galway’s Folan Quay outdoor venue before finally ending her Arthur’s Day with a performance at the Olympia Theatre in Dublin.

Westlife, The Script, Sharon Corr and Imelda May, along with previously announced studio artists such as Snow Patrol, Paolo Nutini, Brandon Flowers and Manic Street Preachers, will also all be playing a surprise performance in Arthur’s Day pubs in Dublin, Cork and Galway on the night.

Additional pub artists to join the line up include the UK’s Morning Parade and The Shoestrung.

An interactive map of Ireland with a full list of events and artists taking place all over the country can be found on http://www.Guinness.com/arthursday

The Arthur’s Day iPhone app will give people the ultimate Arthur’s Day experience. Created to allow the whole of Ireland to come together and share in the celebrations on Thursday 23rd September, the app offers information on events taking place throughout the country and allows users to share toasts with friends and on live TV and also track where their friends are toasting on the night via a geo locater and a Facebook link up. The Arthur’s Day app is available to download free of charge from the Apple App Store.

The Arthur’s Day celebrations will be broadcast live into pubs across the country via Sky Channel 881 kicking off at 17:45 on the day. Presented by Patrick Kielty and Colin Murray, the broadcast will feature the live toast at 17:59 at St James’s Gate Brewery, music performances from various venues as well as behind the scenes artist interviews. A selection of toasts captured via the Arthur’s Day iPhone app will be broadcast via a ticker on Sky Channel 881.

There are a very limited amount of tickets still available for some Cork and Galway pubs via local ticketmaster outlets only with proceeds from all ticket sales benefiting the Arthur Guinness Fund™.

The Arthur's Day celebrations will begin at 17:59 at St James’s Gate Brewery in Dublin on 23rd September. The celebration will then continue with activities and events at various locations in Ireland and throughout Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Europe, and North America.

Arthur’s Day celebrations are strictly over 18’s events. Enjoy Guinness Sensibly. Visit www.drinkaware.ie For detailed information about GUINNESS® and Arthur’s Day visit www.guinness.com/arthursday

get in contact with Ticketmaster, we had the same problem. apparently TM said they posted out the tickets 2 weeks ago so we've arranged to pop into our nearest TM agent and they will print them out there for us.

Are there lots of dodgy postmen out there these days acting as touts for gigs or what!:rolleyes:
