Kanye West for Marley Park

Mince Pie

So its been announced Kanye will be at Marley.

HighClass

€60 is a bargin for both of them, should be some more acts added as well. Going to be a good one!

BadTurtle

Very tempted by that. Kanye is phenomenal live, and Pharrell should have a great set by now. Should be a decent undercard too hopefully.

You couldn't pay me to have to endure listening at that knob for 5 minutes!

does Pharrell do NERD stuff live these days? might be vaguely tolerable if that was the case.
his recent stuff is atrocious.

Bring it on! Going by kanye's coachella set and The watch the throne tour plus Pharrell, this will be a good day. July is gonna be great craic. This gig, arctic monkeys, longitude then Garth brookes. That's my "takin it handy this year" out the window..

You're just the kind of person noone wants at a gig.

Disagree on that, Get Lucky, Lose Yourself To Dance, Happy, that Alicia Keys track and the one with Daft Punk off his new album are all great.
He tends to play two or three NERD songs, two or three of his own tracks and a lot of covers of things he featured on or produced (he's been playing Drop it like it's hot, Hot in Herre, One (SHM) and Hollaback girl a lot recently, plus a new Major Lazer track. Doesn't lean heavily on any one thing he's done.

Do you always go out of your way to make comments on things you don't like?

Depends on the topic really.

Does it bother you?

not really, just curious.

Kanye is a solid live act, outshone Jay Z by a mile at WTT a couple of years ago imo

BadTurtle

When was the last time Jay released a decent album though? Kanye does it year to year.

Any more pointless comments like this and you're getting a card.

Anyone else don't respond just report the post.

I'm talking about a live performance, not releasing albums.

And ironically his last decent album is probably WTT, magna carta holy grail was a serious letdown imo

would endure anything to see yeezy again but damn why did he have to pick an outdoor venue? and marley park as well, it's such a huge trek out. would much prefer if he did 2 nights in the o2 or something. might travel to some european indoor date

A huge trek out?. It's a bus from Dublin at most.. Boo feckin hoo
Think of people who have to come from further than Dublin..
Should be great outdoors.. With those prices should sell quick!

It is an awful venue though.

I have to come from further than Dublin and to then have to figure a way to Marlay park, bloody nightmare.

Im 50/50 with this gig. Get to kanye and pharrel in the gig. Two influential people in music these days. I don't agree with people going on about pharrel and his recent stuff, iv likes him since his nerd days right up until his 'Happy' days!! nHe is one great song writer and he knows what he's doing!! He has one thing that we don't have and want . . . and thats money in the bank!!! I wouldn't give a sh*t if i was him I only seen him back in the olympia in his 'Angel' days and he was savage, playing a mix of songs!!


the other point is this being an outdoor gig. The trek out to marley park!!having to put up with the people just going to this gig for the sake of it ,with it being outdoors and the weather!!!


and lets face it , 'most people' will only go for this because they know happy and the odd track!!

I want a gig for kanye in the o2 , for him as an artist on his own , i don't think i can stomach a marley park gig

Yes I agree great price for both acts


Kanye West and Pharrell Williams are set to play a joint gig in Marlay Park on July 2 tickets €59.50

2 days before I'm seeing Kings of Leon.. The temptation.. but the cost of a hotel for the 2nd-5th would be the major downfall!

I have mixed feelings. Been there 9/10 times at this stage, back at Metallica in 2008 I did not think it sounded great, but I was miles back. Any other time I've been from the sound-desk up and it has been fine!

My big problem at Marlay was the orginisation. Getting in/out is always a nighmare the way security funnel the crowd. We queued early for that Green Day gig back in 2010 and it was basically a stampede for half a mile to get from one gate to the next, it was a shambles, really put me off the venue. Many a shoe was lost that day . . . .

The Prodigy is on the same day in Cork which I have tickets for, sickening as I want to see both badly!

I presume this wont sell out right away?

Clueless tbh, and typical of someone who's only heard the stuff of his that makes the charts.

Listen to his albums, the man is an absolute genius.
