Robbie Williams in Croke Park, now that's disgraceful.
Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Robbie Williams in Phoenix Park the biggest gig ever staged in this country? They sold 135,000 tickets for that one.
And by the way Dolly Parton sold out within a matter of hours. |

Probably was, but it does'nt change my opinion of him. |

is it? I was just wondering if anyone here had experience of getting them for Glasto before.
I've blagged my way backstage there before, but I had to buy an ordinary ticket first which basically got me shorter beer ques, a handy shortcut across the festival site and the discovery that Cat Deeley isn't as pretty when she's not on the telly. |

The Killers are s**t. To paraphrase Bill Hicks, anyone dumb enough to want to go to The Killers should be encouraged to go. That should be the only requirement necessary. They are a boyband with all the bland tokenistic market detail that genre thrives on.
Go and buy the new Director, Humanzi, the Blizzards, The Immediate, Julie Feeney, David Kitt, Ann Scott, The Mighty Stef albums. All very fine records in their own way. All at least made by artists who care about their music and their audience.
And if you still want a killer rock n' roll record, the country's bargain bins are full of Jerry Lee Lewis best of's, for the same price as a bag of chips, that will keep you rockin' forever! |

C'mon how exactly have any of those bands proved they care about music or their audience in a way that The Killers don't??? Just because they haven't had the same level of success yet and maybe never will? For all the backlash I still like Hot Fuss and even though I haven't listened to all of those artist/bands albums I am willing to bet its better than any of their debuts. |

Its only the Main Hall in the RDS, holds about 5-6,000. So no surprise when it sells out. |
