    Not sure what I'd go to Slane (again) for...but Kings of Leon and Muse would not be on the list.

    🤪

    The KOL headlining the 30th Anniversary based on one big album and only two huge radio hits? What an absolute joke. It will be full of teenage girls there to sing Sex on Fire and Use Somebody. And to think Henry snubbed Bon Jovi as not being suitable? Is he going a bit batty?:p I am not Jovi fan but they at least have loads of songs to make for a great gig and the 80,000 singing along. If Muse are there too it gives the line up more credibility but if true it is surely the most predictable line up ever? And who would go on last - Muse are bigger than the KOL - they are on Wembley Stadium level so it's a joke if they are the support act.

    To think the last time U2 headlined they had the RHCP and Coldplay supporting.:cool:

    2 huge albums now, but I'd pretty much agree with you about KOL. Anyhoo, if you don't like them, don't go. Slane isn't the only gig around. KOL will sell tickets and maybe even sell out Slane. That's the bottom line for LHMC.

    Like who? The slane headliners have always been pop rock..

    I'd hardly call the 1992 line up of Guns n Roses pop rock.

    I use to love going to Slane when I was in my teens and would love to go again. But it'll take more than Kings Of Watching Paint Dry to entice me to go.

    Agree totally. How Slane has come down in the world. Now the days of great bands replaced by KOL.

    They should support Muse. That I agree with. Muse are a lot more popular in England than they are here though.

    Like who considers KOL a great band with great songs? Apart from Teeny boppers and Women with the usual bad taste?

    Slane has been associated with great bands with great songs. I just do not see how a pop act like KOL can fit it.

    That looks like I said Bellamy is one of the greatest guitarist around. Can you edit that please. I do not want to be associated with such rubbish.

    We are right to. Slane is more than just a concert.

    It is a shame to see band that are solely driven by money and marketed to sick levels being given the chance to perform at Slane.

    It is an insult to previous bands/artists.

    That is what people are giving out about.

    We've had the likes of

    - Queen
    - Bruce
    - Original Guns n Roses
    - Rolling Stones

    do you really think in 25 years time people will be saying and remember kings of leon? And haven't they over saturated the Irish market as it is?

    Madonna, Rolling Stones, Bryan Adams and Robbie Williams have all headlined Slane in recent years.

    Guns n Roses , and Thin Lizzy, were the Kings of Leon of their day, ie. commerical rock for the masses.

    Slane isn't more than concert.
    it's a money-making venture for MCD, and always has been.


    as for the announcement today, i can't see Muse supporting tbh. KoL are pretty much 100% though, been mentioned by people in the know for the last 6 weeks in various places.

    It has held some legendary concerts over the years and not just all about the money. That is what made it different that other concerts.

    I would not EVER compare KOL to Thin Lizzy. People will not be going on about KOL in 20 years time. Thin Lizzy will still be talked about in 20 years time.

    They were totally different. Lizzy were not a marketed pop brand.

    I agree. They were shockers. I would consider KOL more pop and more of a marketing brand though.

    Why are they so popular over here, They have one or two catchy songs but i think they've played here 5 times in 2 or three years. From a business point of view they will sell out and are bankable, and guess that's all that matters these days.
