2024 Irish Gigs (Confirmed & Rumoured Events)

You really are the biggest bluffer I have ever come across!

...Technically

...Might be a bit weird...

...Might be a €1...

...It's all a bit messy.

Your arse might be your elbow me thinks.

Apologies I forgot for a second we are living in world where skewed theories and guestimates hold as much weight as actual fact. Not a road I care to travel myself.

This poster has quite the rap sheet of defending MCD/Live Nation at every turn and I can feel like disputing that once every so often,no?

Speaking of Arcade Fire....would Placebo sell out Malahide?

In more serious stuff, pearl jam dates loaded into site ready for announcement

From link above

I don't believe for a second EP made 1.7m profit......please personal PM me your access to the official documents backing this up.....absolutely BS

FFS, just google it

"Previous EP Republic Ltd accounts for 2019 show that the firm recorded pre-Covid 19 revenues of €16.9m and pre-tax profits of €1.78m that year."

Whatever about the veracity and insight of fanirish's info, this fecking pile-on is out of order, this isn't twitter

Gotta Love all the pile ons about Fanirish with absolutely no counter arguments/facts or figures to back them up- poor sh89000 just embarrassed badly there

What are you basing this on?

I just looked up Imro site and it suggests it’s €1,350 (1,500 x €30 x 3% assuming it’s licensed).

Yep decent song. I'm pretty excited for the new album now, and of course that tour announcement.

I think when they played certain songs on the last tour they had him behind the stage playing, for Gigaton songs such as Dance of the Clairvoyants

Livenation can barely put any food on the table these days, the poor misfortunes.

Remind me again how much Michael Rapino made last year, 139 million dollars was it.

A CEO-to-median worker pay gap of 5,414 times, the highest in the Fortune 500.

The absolute rubbish on here.

No one is piling on anyone!

He is a bluffer and has been proven wrong repeatedly!

If I spouted as much rubbish as him then I would expect to be called out on it too!

I’ve never said that livenation have anyone’s best interest apart from their own profit maximisation goals. Livenation wants to capture every single euro it can a concert from venue ownership, merch %, ticketmaster fees, and the resale market for tickets.

they are a blight on concerts and not benefiting people or musicians.

the height any defence for Live nation/ticketmaster on here was when people were incorrectly solely blaming livenation/ticketmaster for dynamic pricing/platinum tickets etc being enabled. I just pointed out that artist/their manager/agent approves those tickets.

possibly the other time was in relation to tickets not being issued until days before a concert as they say it’s due to account security. Which i just reiterated as reason they give. Wasn’t defending the practice.

You only have to google what’s happening in Australia with Taylor Swift tickets and accounts being hacked and tickets being stolen from people to understand that there is legit issues there.

it’s honestly laughable that people on here think i’m defending Livenation/mcd /ticketmaster practices.

As for the original point of the conversation, individual concerts in small to medium venues don’t make anyone rich.

As I pointed out with EP profit figure which then someone couldn’t believe it, which proved my point that even the biggest festival in Ireland isn’t the cash cow that people on here think it is.

If ye could finish up the squabbling before the Pearl Jam announcement that would be great

I keep seeing a bunch of new posts and thinking it's been announced
