    Awful lineup again so far. Christy Moore must have set up residency here. I probably could name more of the utter ****e they'll bring there?

    Depends on the age group really, I'll be first in the queue for Cat Stevens and Diana Ross, both will sell out very quickly and already had friends from Dublin looking to travel down for them.

    You young fellas just don't appreciate music royalty haha

    Its better than previous years.
    Diana Ross is a huge announcement ,her UK tour is in much bigger venues and sold out in a week.
    Its a major coup getting her in a 5000 capacity venue.

    Cat Stevens will sell well too.

    Christy Moore and Jenny Greene have no business in the Marquee though ,the Opera House is more than adequate for them.

    I wouldn't cross the road to see either of them but they're two of the bigger sellers at the Marquee every year. Jenny tends to do two nights when she's there too.

    Not sure who is going to it but they're bankers and given that LATM seems to have lost the Coronas, Walking on Cars, etc to bigger venues, they need a few bankers to fill it out.

    I'm hoping for one or two new acts - they've had the National, Beck and Foals over the years so would love something like that. One last trip before it's gone!

    Yes ,that is true ,they do sell well .
    Christy is playing the Charleville Park Hotel next week ,nice compact venue to see him,I've no idea why people would go to see him in the Marquee .

    A-ha were a nice touch last year ,would like to see more acts like that next year .

    Yeah totally agreed here. And I'd imagine that plenty of people who go to the LATM show wouldn't go near the Charleville Park Hotel show (or similar sized ones). It seems to be the event of the Marquee.

    Nothing wrong with it; I just don't go for it myself. It's not unique to Christy either - there are quite a few bands who have played the 3 Arena here and done well with it that are suddenly coming back with much bigger venues and because people love the summer outdoor gig, they'll sell it, eventhough plenty of the same audience wouldn't have been arsed with the smaller/indoor show!

    That A-Ha gig got great reviews. Same with Toto and, afaik, both sold very well. I'd expect a few along that line as such.

    It should all become a bit clearer over the next few weeks anyway as tours are announced and people pounce for the pre-Christmas market.

    Something along the lines of Deep Purple, or Crosby Stills and Nash again would be great. They were awesome gigs!!

    Boom is back :eek:
    I would not pay that in a heated indoor arena like the 3 in Dublin, not to mind a tent with crap sound quality.

    That's about the level her tour is priced at. UK tickets are £75 - £150 and that's before you start into the "exclusive packages" that are several times that.

    Ms Ross is making sure she's being paid enough for playing in a tent - wouldn't be her usual kind of venue I'd say ;)

    Most of the venues on her US tour are much smaller than the marquee and off the beaten track.
    Prices start at $39 .

    Prices for the UK and Ireland are grossly inflated.
