Mellyboots Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 That would be fucking deadly!I so hope this happens...
Greenday_Aussie Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 And? Who cares?I don't think that it's important to top Milton Keynes, am I the only one who thinks like that? They'll do a great show, no matter how many people are there.They don't need to prove anyone that they are (one of) the best live bands around right now, I'm sure that all people who go there already know that Theres no point playing a place like that if you cant fill half of it, is there? I mean, there are other places in Ireland to play that would suit the crowds GD gets, wouldnt there be?
The Disappearing Boy Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 "In August of most years since 1981 the grounds of Slane castle are used to host rock concerts. The natural amphitheatre has a 100,000 person capacity. In 2004, pop superstar Madonna performed her first ever music concert in Ireland at Slane Castle for 60,000 people in stormy weather for 3 hours."Thanks you wiki A lot of people then!How many were at the Keys? 60,000 both nights?They'll have a tough time getting anywhere near that with the trainwreck promoting that has been done for 21stCB, Green Day are nowhere near as popular as they were in the AI era.Milton Keynes? About 65000 each night.

Greenday_Aussie Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Yeah..thats not, what, a 150,000 able venue is it.
Nova-Caine Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 I think I'd be making the trip over if this were true
gmcloughlin Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 OMG I hope this is true Woo Ireland! I don't like Slane, but it is a massive event and if GD were playing I'd def go
Isabel Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Everyone's worrying about them filling the place...it wouldn't just be Green Day, other bands will be playing aswell. It's like a mini, one day festival.This year, the lineup was:OasisKasabianThe EnemyThe ProdigyAnd it was on in June, so it's not on in August every year.
GDM Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Hmm... I've always wanted to go to Ireland...and by the way, the Slane thing is on GD.com now.... still in the 'rumor' phases from that Hot Press article
Alan86 Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 OMG THIS.EPIC. I hope this happens and I want it on DVD. That place looks a bit overwhelming though.Well many of the headliner for Slane do chose to put it out on DVDFrom WikiDVD and videoBryan Adams: Live at Slane Castle (DVD)Red Hot Chili Peppers: Live at Slane Castle (DVD)U2: U2 Go Home: Live from Slane Castle (DVD)Robbie Williams: Live at Slane (DVD)Foo Fighters: Everywhere but Home (UMD, partial concert)Queen 1986 63 min audience videoGuns N Roses 1 hour 51 min.audience videoIf this happens everyone from GDC should be in attendance
NoVaCaInE! Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 if its posted on greenday.com though surely that means its more than just a rumour? I mean why would they post something about it on their official website with "Green Day for Slane?"
Mato Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Foo Fighters: Everywhere but Home (UMD, partial concert)I want that
gmcloughlin Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 if its posted on greenday.com though surely that means its more than just a rumour? I mean why would they post something about it on their official website with "Green Day for Slane?" Exactly what I think

HoneyDo666 Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Why is everyone doubting Green Day's ability to pull in a crowd?The UK tour sold out w/o ANY album promotion, the album wasn't even out yet when the tix went on sale!A LOT of people would go to this, Green Day still have millions of super-devoted fans. Look at the VMAs, they won and everyone thought KOL would.

Rae'n'shine Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 *crosses fingers that this happens*I would do terrible things to be able to go to see them at Slane if this happens.
*withoutadoubt* Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 I think I'd be making the trip over if this were true If it's next summer, I might just have to go meself. I can see this overseas travel becoming a habit.
