Just when you thought 2021 had done its worst.
@Denis Moynihan: Can we go back to stressing about covid numbers? Infinitely better for the mental health than the idea that these lot are still performing.
@Denis Moynihan: seen them in croker a good few years ago and it was as embarrasing a show as I’ve ever seen, bad enough having to bring the kids to a show that belongs to a group who made there living from a lot of covers but when the done sex on fire in a stadium half full of kids, I died a little inside for the music industry
@Denis Moynihan: come on Denis.. Its a kind gesture of humanity to cater to the tone deaf challenged..
@Denis Moynihan: oh god please not that lot again
They must be short of a few quid…
Hardly “Iconic”
CoVID and now this please stop
Louise leaving rte, now this, can this day get any worse….
Ahhhhh ffs!!!!
Part of a government plan to make us all ask for a swift return to another lock down, preferably with a media blackout too.
We’re a great little country for replenishing the coffers of bands/artists who realise they’re down to the last few millions. Smokey, Status quo and many more. Now we have these crowd. No doubt they’ll go down a treat
Cians my favourite, he may not be the best looking, he may not be a great property developer, and he isn’t the best singer out there, but.. actually he’s not my favourite
Fair play to them, if it makes even 1 fan happy, then let them at it.
@Ronan Walsh: It’s good to read a nice positive comment like this from time to time and I completely agree with the sentiment! Even if it makes one fan happy let them at it!
….. I’m also enjoying some of the other comments too though! Lol!
Oh Christ.
God preserve us, another pandemic to cope with. Lord help the music industry
Brian McFadden must be cracking up.
Iconic irish Band :0
The Journal allows comments on tripe like this, but not on a lot of other stories in the media. The Journal are no better than RTE at this stage.
I taught these guys milked the, this is it retirement gigs. When will it end
This is going to be epic!!!
look at all the moaners.. straight in as usual…don’t go, simple solution
Fair play to them, if it makes even one fan happy, then let them at it.
Funds running low?
Everytime a band start running low they have a ‘reunited’ or ‘best of’ concert, I’d say westlife have a couple more in them.
Shut up and take my money
Had tickets for Aug 2021 which was cancelled, will Ticketmaster honour us!
@Caroline Broadhurst: if it was cancelled then no they won’t
@Caroline Broadhurst: it’s been rescheduled for 12/13 August 2022
@Caroline Broadhurst: if you mean Cork for around the 21st, that hasn’t been cancelled. It was postponed until next year.. whether they’ll change it to the 2 for Cork listed here, or do the 2 old ones separately.. we just gotta wait and see.
Must be short of money
Do these kids not know what to do with their money! Play every five to keep the dollars rolling! Then don’t even sing live at their concerts!
Anyone buying or selling?
Lynryd Skynrd crashed. Justice??
Quick….can we please have another lockdown!!!
Please no..first ro i virus. Release..masks that dont wofk..2 meter bs..vsccines nevdr ending.
