Dolans big announcement?

    What a let down. I was hoping for someone along the lines of Nick Cave or Ian Brown. :(

    They have only had one album out and while it has been successful i certainly wouldn't count them as a big act or anything. Decent band for Dolans to get but certainly not anything for them to have hyped up it being announced. Only for the e-mail saying they'd have to wait till Monday for the big announcement it would probably have gone un-noticed in my eyes and I'm sure similarly a lot of people.

    Was hoping it was Stone Sour again myself :(

    I thought it was a very poor ascii picture, but if you can see a face-palm I'll take your word for it!

    Mumford and sons playing there, may 16th I think is the date!

    So that's the support act sorted. Who's the big act???

    Or was this just an attempt by Dolans to generate some publicity....

    Ah well, was on Ticketmaster on the dot of 9 but didn't manage to get tickets, must be a slow typer or something. If anyone knows of any spares going please let me know.

    Thanks.

    B&W.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,995 ✭✭✭leakyboots


    Queue of 40 people outside Empire this morning from what I could see... had two laptops on the go and no joy :(

    Anyone successful?

    Keep me in mind if you've any spares going!

    I've been on since 9 and no joy, phoned the helpline and they are saying they have no tickets anywhere not just Dolans! Not that they are sold out. I hate ticketmaster :mad:

    Its like i always say, if you want to go to something badly enough you'll get in


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    Not a fan but it'll be cool to have something popular that isnt pop crap like JLS on here, now if only Thomond Park could get a big band that isnt rubbish itd be worthwhile.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 4,552 ✭✭✭bigpink


    Its great Dolans brings big names but anyone else think the warehouse is over rated?

    In all the money they make its a very poor standard,a small investment and they could have a cracking small live gig venue

    Been to gigs there but it cant cope with large crowds at all


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,605 ✭✭✭Fizman


    I was at the Biffy Clyro gig there (Nov 2008 or thereabouts) and it was immense. Full house too and it was a quality night.

    No offense, but I think you might look into the economics of running a venue before you assume that dolans are making loads of money from the warehouse.

    are they a charity?

    No, but for every sell out gig the have they have several gigs which don't sell out. You might go to Dolans the one night a month it's really busy and not see the other 29 nights when it's merely ticking over.

    The place is perfect for some gigs alright. Like i saw the futureheads there a few years ago and the stmosphere was brilliant. You always seem to get a big crowd of proper fans there!
