    A "Big 4" gig... I'd definitely go to that if it came here.



    I'm sure there's nothing stopping MCD using the RDS, they've used it before.

    Oh yea i no that but they havent seemed to use it in the last few years .

    Lads don't get the hopes up too high of the Big 4, its only a rumour. While it makes sense what with MCD doing a big announcement and Metallica confirming they announcing more shows, don't hate me if its not. I'd much much much rather a QOTSA show, and am seeing the Big 4 (well 2 of them) anyway.

    Its got to be the Oxegen announcement ..that exact date given on efestivals for a long time now for T in the Park and their pretty much always on the money(they had Eminem and Jay-Z confirmed last year before Oxegen and T did ffs:p).. Id imagine the radio stations will get a press release early monday morning so it will be all over the morning shows Today FM etc and then a Press Conference around 11/12 just like last year..

    ..but a Big 4 Annonucement would be just AWESOME:D

    There'll be like 20 or 30 more acts announced just before the tickets go back on sale, so two or three weeks?

    It was the 23rd of February last year when Eminem/Jay Z/BEP etc were announced, so it could well be Monday when they're announced.
    Surely by the end of next week anyway!

    Not a hope. The are playing Sonisphere UK on the Friday (which i shall be in attendance :cool:) and Sonisphere France on the Saturday. I would doubt they would trek to Ireland for a gig on the Sunday. Plus they dont really suit the Oxegen market.

    four heavy metal bands. hope that helps. it's ok, i had no idea either - it's unfortunate that some people here aren't very helpful, choosing to be sarcastic, low and woefully unfunny at the risk of confusing others! : )

    If thats the exciting news..... Doubt it is.

    It is quite a good line up, wouldn't mind seeing a few of those. Would prefer to hold onto my 80 quid. What a rip off

    I love the 2 euro reduction for buying from an SU shop, great value ha. Good lineup to be fair though. The Streets and Pro Green are both good
