    I think he meant the Nova mentioning something big is coming is GNR.

    Nova were obviously talking about the announcement on Monday though!

    From the looks of it a GNR announcement is impending. That'll be the big one!

    Sorry I thought he was suggesting that the Aiken Promotions on Monday was GNR.

    The poster Richard Hillman did actually say that. But GNR gigs have been MCD here over the years, and Nova will big up GNR over a country fest any day.

    Yeah they will. The announcement on Monday has me intrigued though. Aiken Promotions work with some huge acts and rarely have they done a press conference announcement. Also the fact that the act/acts are playing both venues would point towards it being a big draw.

    I reckon its a rock festival featuring

    GnR
    Foo Fighters
    Kiss
    Metallica
    Megadeth
    System Of A Down
    Plus many more to be announced....

    Might as well dream here as in my bed :D

    Ya may aswell go back to bed and dream as they've dipped their toes in these waters with Ozzfest and Download. They get somewhere between 20-35k and thats with someone like Metallica headlining. Not gonna happen sadly.

    I really hope it is Garth Brooks. I might get a chance to shift the 1200 pink sparkly Stetsons I've had in my shed for the past few years.

    What's with the music snobbery?? Personally I wouldn't go to this or Slane but why do people feel the need to take the piss out of other people's music taste? I know people that would consider GnR as the gig of the year and I know others who would be counting the days to Harvest!

    Different strokes for different folks!! :)

    Snooze. Sure Nathan Carter is always gigging around the country, he evens plays at those countryside farming festivals. Jaysus could they not have picked a bigger country artist instead of one who's going to play Wagon Wheel a few times through his set. :o

    I reckon the plan for Nathan is that he will start ditching the smaller venues around the country and aim for bigger venues - like vicar street, the Olympia theatre, the three arena, etc. I'd say fans would have to get in and attend one of these bigger gigs because going around to towns and cities around Ireland will be limited.
    This will free up his time. He's tapping into other markets now. He plays a lot in the UK. He also recently went to Australia and has another run of gigs there in March of next year. I reckon there will be less and less of him over here in Ireland except for these bigger gigs.

    This was a bit of a let down. I mean, what happened to the world's biggest country singers and the best they can come up with is Nathan Carter and Miranda Lambert to headline. There's meant to be 30 acts.
