Its looking highly unlikey they will be playing in Ireland during the summer

Dunno why you say that, they're playing all over Europe this Summer, its hardly too late to announce a date here.

A friend of mine emailed MCD asking about an Irish GD gig here and apparently MCD are going to confirm something soon enough, supposedly Monday or within the next week with the same support acts as Emirates.

Tbh, I'm realllyyy doubtful it's true, but I'm really hoping it will be.
I probably shouldn't get so excited though.

Furious-Red

Maybe could be Green Day with special guests

YouMeAtSix and All Time Low since both bands are making an announcement on monday

Ask your friend to forward you the email, i reckon they're talkin crap, MCD would not send a mail saying it will be confirmed soon, they just wouldn't respond

We have no information at the moment or news will be announced shortly.

That would be the most they'd usually say.

Green Day announced as final headliners for Leeds/Reading festivals.

Reading: Fri 23rd August.
Leeds: Sat 24th August.


Still living in hope for an Irish date.

Belsonic as a warmup for Reading / Leeds with FOB could be possible...

Far too big for Belsonic. My money's on Green Day and Fall Out Boy playing Tennents Vital

Would it be too optimistic to hope for them to be added to electric picnic seems their playing in england week before or to be added as a headliner for oxygen

Definitely not oxegen and I'd be surprised at EP. I'm holding out hope they might get a Pheonix Park gig, might be a bit big though.

Marley park id be thinking if was anything like that

Longitude is on in Marlay so I wouldn't be surprised if they were the only gigs to take place there this Summer. Pheonix Park on the other hand now has a schedule that looks like:

July 10 - Justin Timberlake
July 11 - No act yet
July 12 - No act yet
July 13 - The Killers
July 14 - Mumford & Sons

Nothing to say that the 11th and 12th will definitely have gigs but it would make sense. Green Day could possibly play one of those nights. Just a guess.

Don't think Phoenix Park could hold anymore gigs, the ground would be destroyed

the galway secret

ya it would be unlikely for anymore in phoenix park so marlay would seem the only realisitic option if any

Viva La Gloria

They're already playing a festival in Portugal on July 12th but they're not scheduled in for anything on the 11th...long shot, but it would be nice if they took that spot at Phoenix Park.

Would be so amazing if they did what they did in 04 and play a smaller show here around the time of Reading/Leeds.

Whatsernamex33

I doubt the 11th, they'd be taking a day off then, but it'd be cool. :P
Watching out for GD coming here between July 13th and August 23rd.. Having a whole month off like. :pac:

I'd say we're looking at later in the year, startish of 2014 now having their own stadium tour. It's just looking like playing at festivals for the moment. :P

had a dream last night a gig was announced today for Croke Park with Slash and Miles Kennedy and Guns n Roses as support.

Actually had to google it to make sure it was just a dream.

rebel89

Would be great if they made it here before the end of the year. I was at the Emirates Saturday and it was brilliant, he's still got it!

Apparently Mike told a UK fan on Instagram(?) that they would be back to the UK more than once by the end of the year. They usually include Ireland on UK tours, so it might happen

Gas, I dreamt last night that they announced a Dublin show but it was happening tonight and it was a race against time to get tickets


Still convinced that the only reason they haven't announced a show here yet is because they'll do one either side of Reading and Leeds

The exact quote was: "Actually the uk will probably get to see me more than my kids this year so Chillax! All in due time!". Sounds like they'll be doing a UK tour of some sort, which usually means we'll get a show here too

Furious-Red

Also MCD have apparently applied for 2 more gigs in Marlay Park in August

Viva La Gloria

Ugh, no not Marlay Park again =/

It’s also interesting to note the existence of another licence application from MCD for “concert consisting of music performance” at Marlay Park on August 3 and 4, the same weekend as Oxegen in Punchestown Racecourse.. Application OEL 02/13 was lodged on May 24 and the relevant application is not currently online. Again, as has become the norm this summer, it’s Festival Republic who are taking the lead, a further sign of the Live Nation takeover of the Irish live music business.

Viva La Gloria

But sure that's only 7 weeks away....surely it would need to be announced sooner than that to sell enough tickets? Unless it's a double headline? And Reading and Leeds is at the end of August, so would it make sense for them to play here on the 3rd and 4th with nothing else in between?

Furious-Red

Well they only announced Kasabian and Noel Gallagher the day of the RHCP gig last year . If it is Green Day id say we will def get Fall Out Boy
