Tyrrial

well... i'm still hoping that Belle and Sebastian and Zwan show up somehow...

acquiescefc

Oh yeah, according to MCD Foos are at Slane too!! I dont know you wait for a bus and then 28 come along at once.

Good stuff. Might be worth goin this year for a change if rest is correctamundo

RHCP are supposed to be appearing at the Meteors on Monday. No doubt, they will be plugging any forthcoming shows ... if any!

The RHCP info was pretty rife. I delayed putting the info onto the gig guide on web site but succumbed last week. Godammit, hate being caught out!!

BrianD

Whoa! I was right after all!

Official line up

Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Foo Fighters
Queens of the Stone Age

Tickets: €59.50 from Ticketmaster.

Amz

Mmmmmm.........

Nick Oliveri.....

Mewzel

when do tickets for slane go on sale? or are they already? sounds like an excellent line up

Achille

who needs expensive festivals when we can rot our brains with the highly entertaining soap-opera-like back and forth antics of Mewzel and Tyriall.

Me and my unnacceptably "main-stream" music tastes are costing me way too much money. Ive already got over-priced tickets for REM and Oasis, and hopefully Paul McCartney, but adding Witnness and Slane on top of that could break the bank, and Im trying to fund an orphanage for unwanted exercise equipment.

If only i was cool and alternative, then i could just moan and not spend any money.

Silverfish

Do what I do. Being a local, we know just how easy it is to don the bright yellow waistcoat, grab a bin bag....casually....all slow-like...pick up rubbish the whole way.....up up to the gate ...closer...then hey!!! you're in!!!

Or what we did last year was run up in *unmentionable public service* jumpers with clipboards and toolboxes and claim if we didn't get in, there'd be no concert, and a big boom like noise.



(Not guaranteed and not recommended)

Tyrrial

I think if the right people are playing a gig it's worth the money rather then finding yourself trying to pear at them form over a fence

PiE

No, it's called Private Messages. Up there in User CP... there y'go.

Slane'd be decent apart from the Chili's.

but that's just

And people on this board give out to Raggamuffin!?! :rolleyes:

Shorty

And on another point, ppl actually pay to get into Slane? Ah hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

Haven't paid yet, just hop the wall or break down a fence, it's worked for my friends the last 3 years. But then again, they did have locals passes, which though they don't get you in, get you close enough to enable you to jump the wall.

Last years Slane is my official "worst concert ever", but at least I didn't have to pay.

Plus, the scumbags are all from Naaaavin! No offence Silverfish!

Funnily enough, that's how one of my friends got into Witnness last year. Not exactly how you described it, but it was by impersonating a cleaner.

Giblet

Not a bad line up at all. No headliners as such, but the bands all have a decent following. Chili's are great live despite the crap in the charts. QOTSA and the Foo's will no doubt attract much of the same audience.

Witness has the usual mix up of different bands. Not a great line up, but thats just me. I'm sure people love Coldplay, White Stripes et al, but there not for me. Audioslave would be good I'd say, even though Cornell is a bit older, and his voice doesn't cut it live, he still out classes many of the younger lads. I'll probably pop my head in to see The Datsuns, The Coral, Blur (for the oldskoolness), and whoever else.

I'd have to give it to Witness over though, it's just more fun!

Tyrrial

hey shorty, what exactly did i do wrong?
i gathered my statement from some simple factors

1) Slane has fewer and more famous bands
2) witnness has a hell of a lot of small local acts to enjoy
3) Slane is over priced and full of scum,

but if you disagree then that's fine, i talk a lot a balls most of the time

lamda

Never been to Slane dont think ill aford it this year but the only band id actually be arsed watching would be QOTSA. SO im not too bothered... Plus the scum.....

rapture_queen

There will be a high % of scum but i think i shall go anyhow it will be good!!!

I really want to see QOTSA cause ive seen the others but would not mind at all seeing them again!!!

Witness-cant believe Blur are playing very unexpected but great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:p

the fnj

What are the chances of Dave Grohl playing drums with the QOTSA?

Hopefully even for a few songs becase it's something I'd love to see.

buzzerbuckley

pollys been added to slane,with coldplay and morrissey and radiohead set to be added to witness.............

rapture_queen

"What are the chances of Dave Grohl playing drums with the QOTSA"-The Fan

Wouldnt he have to play with them i mean he is their drummer?

I cant wait to see them also!!!

My love for Dave Grohl grows every day!!!!!!!!!!!!!

acquiescefc

They have a new drummer since b4 the uk tour, bloke outta Danzig

Tyrrial

i'm still not going to slane, but witnness is looking better and better!

Nuphor

Come on Zwan, don't disappoint me now! I'm definately going to Witness. Slane, last year, was utter crap. I like the RHCP's, but I can't love them.

razorfeather

i can't decide to buy my ticket for witnness on saturday or sunday.......................!!GAH sunday me thinks. the frames
WOOOOOOOOOH YEAH....polyphonic spree...

yiz all ready for next weekend?!!!! WITNNESSSSSSSSS

I know it's not on the Witnness Site yet but Ashley Hamilton is not playing on Sunday.

Woodstar have been move to his slot on Witnness Main at 12:00.

Republic of Loose are taking Woodstars slot on Witnness Upstage at 12:50.

Pumpkinhead

Zwan's exit was gutting

especially after their televised appearance on MTV2 at the
Rock am Ring in Germany...

a glimpse of what was to come - that now, sadly, isn't coming..

sob sob




still....there's Damien Rice...

the fnj

When I heard Zwan weren't playing I was thinking of not going but now that they have announced Mars Volta on the line up, the Sunday looks amazing

My Sunday will be

Bell X1
Super Furry Animals
The Framees
White Stripes
Mars Volta
Flaming Lips

Once the weather holds it's going to be a good day.
