Trina Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 If that date is correct, 288 days to go! (technical days. 289 if you count like most people.)Can't believe I'm counting down again!So fucking excited to see them again, I miss them. I'll be there 100%.
novacaine_kid Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 I'm so going over for this. I love Ireland, and put the two things together, well that just makes for one hell of a trip
aoife Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Plus, in Ireland Slane is a yearly event, loads of people here go over annually even if they only like one or two songs, The gig also gets massive media attention over here, and there will be another 3 or 4 fairly big bands aswell that will draw a crowd(ie. My brother last year went for The Prodigy even though he hates the headlining act Oasis xD) any Irish people will know what I'm talking about And, OMG! I'm so excited for this even though nothing has been confirmed yet! xDExactly last year i only went for the Prodigy and not for Oasis!!
aoife Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 It's TERRIBLY, TERRIBLY run. There was serious problems at it this year. Hundreds of people had to walk up to 8 miles in the dark to get back to the buses after the show. When I meet Green Day in 2 weeks (because I just will, like) I'll ask them about it Yes i was at Slane this year & it was a bit of a disaster! there was like 10,000 ppl more then there was suposed to be at it!! The walk out of the place is HELL!!! Good day out though!!
Isabel Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 I'd say they'll be more organised about it next year though, they'd have to be. Like I heard that barely anyone's tickets were checked so loads of people who just showed up without tickets got in for free.
NoVaCaInE! Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Jesus this big long walk doesnt sound too promising
Trina Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 No, it doesn't! Don't know how I'm going to manage that!
lovelyrita Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Fuck the walk, people it's GREEN DAY. I could walk for 100 km to see them XD .
Isabel Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Yes...but this is Slane...in Ireland. One of the most disorganised places in the world
hellolaura Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 holyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy shit! all those people!
jenni Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Oh! It has been confirmed then!Excuse my ignorance but... Slane is a big castle in Ireland, where festivals take place, with only standing area, right?
Isabel Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 It's really just like any other festival...but we have a castle in the background And most of the standing area is on a hill, or so I'm told. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing
Soo Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Reckon I am going to go to this! It's about time I had another trip over to Ireland!
louizex Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Just in case you didn't believe meClick this http://2fm.rte.ie/previously_played/2009-1...1#track_listingThen where it says The Colm and Jim-Jim breakfast show click on I want to listen to a recording of the showThe player opens and go to 119:5 and listen from there its announcen on 120:0Its not easy to select exacty where you want to listen from you might have to listen from about 117:4 They are talking about a new irish film being made just before itThey said its in August, I wonder will this rule them out of oxegen which is usualy at the start of july, T in the park might still want them and usually T in the Park and Oxegen have the exact same line up.yeah i would say its very unlikley T in the park and oxygen will have green day if slane do. so for scottish festivals that leaves Rockness, which they are far too big to play and for english festivals, i would put my money on reading and leeds, especially if they are on this side of the pond in august. damn. i wanted them at download!

I think Download is quite a strong possibility. To stay on topic, when do tickets for Slane usually go on sale? I can't seem to find that info anywhere?
Isabel Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 I can see them doing T in the Park again, but if they're playing Slane I highly doubt they'd do Oxegen as well.
Soo Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 I can see them doing T in the Park again, but if they're playing Slane I highly doubt they'd do Oxegen as well.They better do TiTP or I will have to kick Billie's butt! Just to warn you Isabel, be prepared to be bombarded with a gazillion questions about Slane once it gets closer!! And even if you don't know the answers, just make them up! :lol:

Haha well I'll do my best to facilitate you....here's one known fact about Slane: Elephants walk around on stilts serving plum sandwiches to people.

And even if you don't know the answers, just make them up! :lol:Is titp any good? i would probobly go just too see green day, (if they play) as the line up never really appeals. just wondering how the atmosphere is? i think slane might be a little too far for me, unless i can convince some friends for a road trip!Sorry if its been asked before but how much are slane tickets? Thanks in advance!
GDM Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 This is a link from the IC chat boards, not from the News section of the IC, FYI:http://www.last.fm/event/1286890+Green+Day...+21+August+2010
Isabel Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Sorry if its been asked before but how much are slane tickets? Thanks in advance! A girl who I work with went this year and she said the tickets were around €80. Hopefully that amount won't increase next year...we Irish are very good at saying "Ah here now, come on. Times are tough! Give us a recession price!"

If you wanted to go over for Slane, you could make a wee holiday out of it and have a few days before or after the gig and that might make it more worth your while?A girl who I work with went this year and she said the tickets were around €80. Hopefully that amount won't increase next year...we Irish are very good at saying "Ah here now, come on. Times are tough! Give us a recession price!" Oh, "Oracle of Slane" :lol: When do the tickets normally go on sale? I can't see that info anywhere!!
