Plus Imelda May and Nathan Carter

Christy skipped this year so I'd say he's done. Didn't he say he wouldn't do anymore festival type shows there recently?

Either way, the Coronas are there so everyone mark your Marquee bingo cards.

My bets:

Walking on Cars, Picture This and Kodaline, with Imelda May and Nathan Carter close to a sure thing too.

Bell X1 returning to promote their new album too.

Al Porter to be the main 'comedy' attraction.

On the more interesting side of things... Elbow and Kasabian. Basing these on nothing, but there's always a few good shows there so let's say that these two will be there.

Smaugstein

Little Mix were super last year, fingers crossed for this year.

Bacchus

Its a really poor lineup again for next year .
The promoter just seems to be getting cheap acts in .
Alot of the acts would be more suited to the opera house .

Look at the 2008 lineup and compare it to the the crud the last few years
Eric Clapton,Dolly Parton,Lou Reed,Jay-Z,Morrissey,Meatloaf,Neil Young,Massive Attack,Paul Simon,Paul Weller,Pink
The people of Cork were spoilt for choice that year.

Aiken needs to get a few decent acts in for next year .

Agree that none of the acts are of interest to me (Elbow maybe?)

But they're hardly 'more suited to the Opera House'.

Picture This already sold out one show and are on their way to selling out a second, the Coronas consistently sell out this (and bigger) arenas, and Gavin James too.

Elbow sold it out the last time they were here and Christy Moore is (for reasons I can't fathom!) a consistent draw. Nathan Carter too and I'm pretty sure Elton John and Cliff Richard were close to sellouts (if not sold out) last time.

We may not like a lot of the acts, but they sell consistently and you need those acts to finance the odd gamble here and there.

If you look at the relatively mediocre turn out for Beck a few years ago and the National (the second time, think the first one was a sell-out) it's no wonder Aiken are playing it relatively safe with the first batch.

I'd expect a good few acts to come after Christmas and hopefully that's when the interesting stuff gets added, but without the guaranteed sell-outs, nothing interesting would be there so we just need to bide our time!!

Plus, this way, I may actually be able to afford tickets without the worry of Christmas hanging over me!!!

Well I was only there once, was at a Michael Buble concert,I was sittting in the stand at the back, they had Avery big screen so was able to see everything, thought it was very good. I don't mind watching screens as I always get seat tickets for concerts.
