Odd it's the same day as Slane and the same promoters

Thought that myself as I'd say there would be a decent amount of crossover fans (myself included). Was going to go to Metallica but I've seen them twice and never seen the Cure so that's my mind made up. Didn't see anything about the promotor, though could be an Aiken event?

Would think it'll probably be Kilmainham or Malahide, or maybe 3arena.

Ferris_Bueller

Nice, I will definitely be getting tickets for this anyway once it is announced. Hopefully it's in Kilmainham.

SoundOfSilence

Has to be kilmainham or malahide. Not a chance it's an indoor gig.

Can't feckin wait

3arena according to Overdrive FB account: https://www.facebook.com/overdrive.ie/

We'll this solves my "I hate Slane but want to go" problem.

Cure all the way.

Kilmainham likely, the date is almost the same as nick cave was this summer.

See ya' later, Metallica!

roll

Ride and Slowdive were among those who supported them for the Hyde Park gig. A repeat would be just lovely.....

Yes but you're a Biffy Clyro fan. I would expect nothing less

Would absolutely love this to be in Kilmainham

lizzylad84

Nice one. Hope is in kilmanham

Outlaw Pete

Haven't seen Metallica since the two '88 gigs but I've never seen The Cure.

Can't decide.

lizzylad84

Be interested to see ticket prices for the cure

Super live band.

I saw them 3 times in Ireland - twice in Dublin, Electric Picnic and once in London.

They really put on a great live show and clock in at over 2.5 hours generally. Unlike other bands they appreciate that many of the fans are there to hear their hits and they really have a huge catalogue to draw from.

I hope they play Kilmainham, that really would be a great start to the Summer.

I can't see them being too cheap.

I picked up a ticket for Suede playing in Bord Gais Theatre in October. Thought I'd get it for less than 50....65 euros.

I can't see tickets being less than 80 quid.

What's wrong with Biffy? Bit strange to act like there'd be no crossover at all.

You must be the problem so

DepecheHead101

Always saw Biffy as a bit generic rawk, but to each their own. Can't abide by music without an atmosphere.

There's crossover insofar as they're both live bands.

Even though original poster was trolling, my point was 'mocking' other music because someone (stupidly) mocked yours is hardly a great look. (I mean 'yours' in general, I know it wasn't you who said it)

Why post in this thread then? Makes no sense.

I'm more of a fan of their early stuff Seventeen Seconds, Faith, Pornography. But even when they went commercial there is some solid albums over the years.

I think the chances of them coming back are getting slimmer and slimmer as they've really cut back on gigs. Should be great.

fan of the old stuff as well
"Kiss me" is one of my favorite albums of all time
kinda lost touch with them after disintegration, which is also a masterpiece

DepecheHead101

Love all sides of them. The quirky pop era with the Tim Pope videos is impossible not to love. Also adore the more atmospheric funeral pyre of albums like Faith.

Always saw Disintegration as a marriage of the two sounds. It's dark, yeah, but most of the songs are immensely single worthy. Plainsong has to be one of the best album intros ever, with Suede's Introducing the Band.

Easily their best album, for me.

Still get goosebumps when I listen to Plainsong. Brings me back to the RDS in '89. Great opening track for a concert.

Saw them play few weeks back at their 40th anniversary show, it was a fantastic night and the sound was just stunning.

The Hyde park gig was excellent. Was delighted they played end of the world as I wasn't expecting it!
Really looking forward to this now.
Any chance if it being indoors?
