Is Live At The Marquee actually happening next year? I thought this year was the last since the site was sold?

I assume LATM will happen again as Christy Moore, Tommy Tiernan and Nathan Carter need somewhere to perform :P

I would bet Picture This for IP or PUC or is Westlife the only gig for PUC

Christy has on his website a date for the Marquee next summer. Think July 10th or something. May not be in the docklands site tho.

Don't think Picture This would sell PUC unless they had a big support. I'd say the GAA wouldnt mind fitting in another concert somewhere along the line.

I don't know, they sold 5 nights in 3 Arena

Legacy acts are dying off, record companies are not investing in good music and a decade and a half of Saturday night karaoke tv shows picking the next big thing has left pop music terminally ill. We're 5 or 10 years off gob****es paying 85 quid to go see a hologram.

Anyone think Lewis Capaldi would do a second gig on Friday 19th if 18th sells out fast ? , or would there not be enough interest ?

Could well be! Was passing Merchant's Quay around 9 last night and there were 3 young wans camped out. Madness.

Wow.
Just googled him. Never seen or heard of him and the songs don't sound familiar.
I'm old.

Lewis sold over 60,000 tickets for his Irish gigs in 10 minutes, fair play to him he is popular and he is good live, also very funny

I wonder could Lizzo or Billie Eilish maybe also do IP

"major concert" in 2020 is set to be announced for Cork in the coming days.

MCD Productions today sent out media invites for a press conference in the Metropole Hotel in Cork city on Monday, November 11 at 1pm.

The notice reads that the conference is "to announce a major concert for 2020".

MCD Productions asks media to note that the "artist will be in attendance".

PUC gig?

Won't be anyone big so. Another has been or never was.
We're a long way from the days of U2, Prince, Michael Jackson and Bruce.

I would love it if they could get Iron Maiden to come. They were announcing their shows during the week and had acts like Within Temptation and Airborne, etc joining them.

Wishful thinking though.

I'd imagine this will sell better than his other concerts due to it being a full White Ladder set.
A lot of people from 35 and over will remember that album from their youth.
I still don't think he will sell out Musgrave Park tho.

Yes and why a press conference for this, huge let down

I remember him playing in Nancy Spain's before White Ladder came out!
This gig may sell out eventually as that album is well known and still gets airplay. I suppose he is classified as a 'heritage act' these days.

Cork will never get big names (event centre or no event centre). They will only go to Dublin and Belfast - that's the way it is.

Cork is to blame for his popularity!
Before that Nancy's gig, he kept selling out The Triskel and I even remember him playing a packed gig in De Burca's on White Street.
Apparently, he was selling out venues in Cork when he couldn't fill a hole in his home territory.
