Bon Jovi cancelled???? (NO btw.)

fupduck

hearing rumours (online I grant you) that Bon Jovi only sold half the tickets , therefore , gig is not yet licensed and wont go ahead.

Any truth in this?

Yup, having to listen to Bressie put music fans off the idea:D

My son and his girlfriend went to see them in Manchester last night ...great concert :cool:

That would be a pity, half the tickets sold?

Whooahh they're halfway there!!

Mr Benevolent

Oh what a tragedy. Another shite 80's/90's band dies from lack of interest. They haven't had a good song in 15 years FFS.

MagicMarker

Stupid choice for Slane.

In fact, Slane is ****ing ****e.

Get AC/DC instead, and play Dublin instead ,Muse supporting.

Elvis and John Lennon are still doing OK, they haven't had any new stuff in ages.

Ya, they're so bad :rolleyes:

They are one of the world’s best-selling bands of all time, having sold more than 100 million records, and performed more than 2,700 concerts in over 50 countries for more than 35 million fans. Bon Jovi was inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2006.

I highly doubt they'll cancel it considering everything's ready now - the whole village is fenced and everything is pretty much in order now.

It's easier to sell out at a venue like the Manchester, Eithad Stadium, where you'll have a larger UK Bon Jovi fan base than an open air concert like Slane with dozens of other acts

Specialun

All jokes aside is there actually any truth to this?

spank_inferno

Well keep an eye out for any press release tomorrow.

However I'm sure it will go ahead as planned.

Selling albums or concert tickets doesn't mean they're good. Obviously it's subjective, but what's their best song?

Blaze of Glory.

It's basically like, my life in a song.

This unfortunately is true. Case in point : Jedward! ( cannot believe I actually typed that)

Doctor DooM

So any evidence of this at all, or just total scuttlebutt?

Spudman_20000

No great loss. Don't they come to Ireland every year on the "Money for Old Rope" tour?

ticketmaster still selling tickets!

I would have gone had the support act not been Bressie. I was already a bit disappointed that it was in an awkward location and seeing the support act kind of made me make up my mind.

I have been to many of their concerts and they've always been good fun but I can't say trekking to Slane and hearing Bressie and the Coronas is particularly appealing...

They go to all those other country's to and unless Ireland the exception , I'm not sure it's money for old rope abroad to .

That was a solo effort by Jon Bon Jovi on the Young Guns 2 / Blaze Of Glory Soundtrack.

Shoot me for knowing this

Edit - That soundtrack has one of the best songs I've ever heard - Santa Fe (the live version covered by Bon Jovi in recent times is ****e though)

It's definitely going ahead!!

I wanted to get tickets for Bon Jovi but I'm going to a concert later in the summer and couldn't afford more than one concert. Such a disappointment its cancelled for those that did buy tickets though.

All in all 2013 is shaping up to be a very good year for music concerts.

Olly Murs was at Easter.
The Lion King performance opened in May.
-Bon Jovi
-Bruce Springsteen
-Robbie Williams
-Michael Buble (my favourite)
all in June/July

The crowd who sings 'Ho Hey' is on in the winter. Billy Joel is on in November.

I wanted to go to
-Nathan Carter,
and
-The High Kings
a few weeks ago.

Not really music but my sister told me that Attraction who won Britain got Talent, just last night, is putting on a performance in Dublin in August.

I want to go to so much but couldn't afford them all.

I'd love a bit of Sharon Shannon and The Saw Doctors too.

That might be the worst list of concerts I've ever seen (w/ the obvious exception of Springsteen) well done.

That's so funny. For a few years, there was nothing playing here that interests me. We're clearly different on music tastes.

Word has it that Garth Brooks is making a come back with a tour in 2014. I can't wait :-)

That's a bit harsh. Nathan Carter is a great entertainer and has introduced jiving to thousands of the younger generations.
