Not cheap either, €55 for Alt-J, but interesting venue

MCD copying Aiken's Iveagh gardens concerts. I presume that these will be held in the courtyard and not on the cricket ground!

Wooderson

Fascinating.

Safely write this bunch off for the Picnic?

The summer outdoor gig saturation taken to new levels. If we add this to Iveagh, Marlay and Kilmainham, it's too much.
Unless they are using Trinity instead of Marlay

rubadub

I'd like to know the capacity.

mrcheez

5K afaik

sally cinnamon89

I'd imagine that they are not using Marlay Park this summer. I wonder where longitude will end up

On the Record had this months ago

Mentions 5000 capacity

Seems a high price for those acts involved.
TCD must be out to make a nice cut too.

Still, nice location and very handy.

sweetie

Yeah, knock a tenner off and I might go but that's too much for most of those acts bar maybe pixies and bellies who I've seen many times anyway.

Wooderson

I would suggest this puts Longitude '17 in doubt.

It's usually around 15th to 20th of July, so very close to it all right. And no announcement yet for Longitude.
I'd say more ca$h to be made from these individual gigs.

With MCD announcing Kings of Leon in the 3 arena and this announcement I agree that it looks like there's no marlay gigs this year at all. This year licensing and dealing with resident committees obviously wasn't worth it...

Don't forget Malahide too!

Looking forward to seeing Alt-j in this

If the capacity is 5000, is it likely that Pixies will sell out fairly quickly? Was hoping not to use my credit card this month!

They played the Iveagh last year which is same capacity, there was plenty of tickets available the week of the gig on social media etc, not sure if it was a sellout but i'd not rush to buy myself.

I picked up a ticket for €25 for the Pixies from a Tout about an hour before the Pixies took to the stage. Seemed like there was plenty of them available. And they were about €40 for that gig (I think). You just never know in Ireland. People were giving away tickets for free outside the Olympia for Primal Scream.

We gave away a Wilco ticket at the iveagh last summer.

Got my tickets for the Pixies there. Just found out about this last night so nice to have something to look forward to.

Bump, are these all sold out?

Tried to buy Alt J tickets and then Bell Xi but both are returning the message "Tickets not currently available from Ticketmaster".

Tickets are still on sale. TM were probably doing site maintenance when you went to buy tickets.

Some good names coming up for this.

What venue will they be playing in? What kind of capacity?
