    It won't be July. Their last Euro show is mid-June, then they return mid-August.

    Belfast is a whole hour and a half from Dublin.

    Well more like 2 and half but I just want to see him in my own town too. I'm being selfish lol Katy Perry didn't announce a Dublin date either!

    If ya get the bus maybe!! its 2 hours on train and approx an hour an a half driving sorry I'm a Tipp man and over 90% of the time there is only 2 areas of the country artists go to Dublin or Belfast so it's nearly 3 hours min to get to Dublin the extra stretch to Belfast not gonna kill me so yeah in a sense it's quite annoying to hear Dubliners complain that a particular gig isn't on their doorstep yet again.

    What's the chances of Kings of Leon or Arctic Monkeys playing here this year? Both haven't played an arena gig for a good while now :(...

    Arctic Monkeys are almost guaranteed to be playing Phoenix Park between the 11th-13th July 2014.

    Not too sure about the Kings of Leon but if you see them being announced for T in the Park in Scotland, you can take it they will also play Phoenix Park.

    Phoenix Park gigs are generally announced in late February/early March.

    They might return in early 2015 for an O2 gig.

    Doubt it, the only gig on in Marlay Park this summer is Longtitude. Outdoor venues usually only get licenses for 3 days maximum per year so that's Marlay Park booked for the summer.

    Not always the case!!

    Arcade Fire are playing a major outdoor gig at Marlay Park on 29th June 2014. So that's 4 confirmed days already for the venue, including Longitude.

    I'm also pretty sure Phoenix Park was granted 4 day licences in 2012 & 2013 but in both cases, did not avail of the Friday night option.

    Apparantly Kings Of Leon will play the Aviva this summer......so I heard!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,175 ✭✭✭StaticAge11


    Yes Arcade Fire has not sold out "YET" since its only been onsale for less than 2 months but will easily sell out before the gig happens . As said Guetta was only a capacity of 22,000 while AF will def be more than that

    I never thought Arcade Fire would have enough of an Irish following to sell out Marley Park, thought an O2 show seemed more likely. But that is my personal opinion, I can't stand them.

    Maybe I am just bitter that Metallica are in the UK the following week and MCD didn't bother booking them :P

    True but they sold out the o2 last time (although they did have Vampire Weekend) . I think it will sell fairly well and will prob sell out closer to the date when they announce another band on the bill.

    In other news

    Outkast ‏
    Outkast will return to the stage with a full festival run of over 40 dates to celebrate 20 years. #Outkast20 - Team Outkast

    Just when i thought the summer couldnt get much worse than 1D in Croker..

    In better news..
    AM expectted to play Reading so dont rule them out for something in August either..

    Hooefully the american dates would mean a Foos date.. or even Muse, who apparently are playing Berlin in june.. could easily be PP.

    Expecting one iof them to be Slane if goes ahead this year.

    No confirmatiin from.anywhere. afaik that ac/dc are touring though.. at least we know the foos are..
    Rumours from Green Day sites that a Dookie/American Idiot tour is in the works after the Soundwave tour, but no confirmation.. much like ac/dc

    not sure if its reliable but.. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/whats-on/music-nightlife-news/acdc-confirm-tour-2014-6461266

    if true theyd surely be a serious contender for slane

    Green Day are due to go on hiatus after Soundwave. They already celebrated Dookie by playing it in full at Brixton (I was there it was awesome), reading and Leeds

    For American Idiot, it's rumoured they will finally release the making of documentary of that album which has been in production limbo for the last 10 years

    is forbidden fruit taking place this summer?

    I can't see why not. They are actively posting on Facebook as far as I remember, pushing POD gigs and the like.

    Think there may have been a 'To be announced in 2014' sort of post before Christmas.

    Would be gutted if it didn,t go ahead, great little festival.

    hope so! ive been last few years and its very good


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,539 ✭✭✭ghostdancer


    MCD are running all the IMMA gigs announced so far, last year POD did them all, including Forbidden Fruit, so it's possible that MCD have some sort of exclusivity deal on the site this year.
    Will see in the next couple of months I suppose.

    On the hiatus, on instagrqm around fforeverly time, Mike said.'don't believe everything you read ;)'
    Just saw it rumoured, admittedly unlikely.

    Has Oxegen as a thing just been scrapped?
