What would be a terrible gig for you to attend?

Rubberchikken

Thrashssacre

Roger waters
Morrissey
U2

Fair enough if rap isn't your thing but are you seriously saying you don't like any musician(s), regardless of genre, just because they were born or are based on this island? That's bonkers.

Clonmel1000

Sheeran.

PTH2009

Impractical Jokers

Id say it's a load of 'hey who's sober here', 'let's have some Guinness and whiskey guys' etc

Sam Smith

DJIMI TRARORE

Any concert my 10,12+14 year old daughters want to be brought to:(:(

Country music gigs

bodhrandude

Manowar at the Glasgow Apollo in the early eighties, more laughable than atrocious.

Bublee.

Michael Flatley

ghostdancer

AC/DC, in whatever combination of band members/singers you like.
A gig for people who would otherwise spend their night drinking Bulmers in the same pub as every other weekend before having a fight outside the chippers on the way home.

Muahahaha

Would have to be Michael Buble, if a friend bought me a ticket for him I'd be re-evaluating our friendship

Springsteen - three hours of cliched ‘anthems’. When every moment is ‘special’, then none are.

Followed closely by Bressie. The tedious indie is bad enough, but the earnest well-being advice would send me over the edge.

I'm not the other poster, but I've seen my fair share of Irish bands through the years, many different genres, and I honestly don't think I'd voluntarily see any of them again, and I'm the first to throw my money at something because it's Irish. I don't know why, but none of them have ever really clicked with me.

I've seen my fair share of forgettable bands too, but off the top of my head, Microdisney, My Bloody Valentine, Girl Band, along with new up and coming bands such as Fontaines DC, Just Mustard and The Murder Capital are all brilliant. There's loads I'm missing. Those who say Irish musicians are "talentless" (the previous poster) are wrong

I've seen mbv and fontaines from that list, and I'd be in no rush to see either again. Again I can't describe it, but no matter how early I get in there, I can't get behind Irish bands, but I support LOI, Irish MMA fighters, boxers etc at Grass Roots. But Irish music does nothing for me, always seems like it's trying too hard.

Captain Red Beard

Lady Gaga
Any of Bressies incarnations
Mumble rap
EDM types

I've only seen Girl Band from that list. I've seen them live twice. One of the best live experiences I've been to. I wouldn't get massively excited about listening to their album from start to finish. But live, they are a different animal. If they do come back on the live circuit again, I will definitely be doing a good month in the gym before hand, to build up a bit of stamina.

Anyway, on topic, I'm easy going. If I got a free ticket for any gig, I'd be happy.
Although maybe Daniel O'Donnell might be a bit too much.

I think I have the winner here.

A gig from an Artist that I really love that rarely tours Ireland only to be surrounded by people talking random non band related nonsense around me.

e.g Radiohead gig

You know what I also noticed, when i'm in a different country and there's people talking it doesn't annoy me as much as I don't know what they're talking about. Weird huh.

Yep I agree it is usually the crowd rather than the artist that leads me to hate a gig.
Some goon sitting behind me at the recent Robert Plant gig in 3Arena felt it necessary to shout "Play Stairway to Heaven" at the end of each song (even though plant has played that song once in the last 30 years)
Or even worse, I don't know how many times I've been at a gig and seated, in front of two or three women, who have no interest in the gig, probably got freebies, and just use the occasion for a meet up and a chat.
It's hard to zone them out to listen to the music. I've often come home knowing more about Ciara's summer holiday to Majorca than I have about the artist on stage. Nightmare.

Swing but they'd probably be in a lounge somewhere so you could just hit the bar and ignore them!

Ed Sheeran too for me.

I've been to Ed Sheeran 3 times,

he's a decent entertainer but he's massively over rated imo
