Post by: gcluskey on June 04, 2010, 07:07:18 AM this is fantastic news, but not to be a killjoy, I could do with knowing the price : ok: ?65.70 - ?70.70 Title: Re: GUNS N' ROSES ANNOUNCE IRISH DATE! Post by: jacdaniel on June 04, 2010, 08:27:04 AM The arena has a capacity of over 14,000 (standing) or 9,500 (seated).
The number will be somewhere between this. I thought they would've done a bigger show like RDS outdoors like in 2006. (capacity is something like 60000 for RDS). But i prefer smaller gigs so im VERY HAPPY about this!!! EDIT: And its only 5 mins away from my house! Title: Re: GUNS N' ROSES ANNOUNCE IRISH DATE! Post by: estrangedpaul on June 04, 2010, 09:00:17 AM Awesome - I'll have to get back into the Guns N' Roses spirit.

Post by: jacdaniel on June 04, 2010, 09:52:06 AM U guys need a nice pre-party at a pub before the show (http://www.mypictureshare.com/img/R/BB.gif) Fibber Magees on Parnell street would get my vote. (its a rock bar). Although its a fair bit away from the venue. There is also a new Fibber Magees on the Quays which could be suitable. The problem with the O2 is... there aint many good bars nearby. Title: Re: GUNS N' ROSES ANNOUNCE IRISH DATE! Post by: axleire on June 04, 2010, 10:15:43 AM The green room pub behind the o2 is a great venue before a concert and its only 5 minutes walk to the o2.
Title: Re: GUNS N' ROSES ANNOUNCE IRISH DATE! Post by: BumbleBuzz on June 04, 2010, 11:02:11 AM I'd be up for a pre drink in the Green Room, if we get enough people to join the Facebook site (i.e. everyone!) then we can organise something for those who want it!

Guns N' Roses have announced dates in Dublin and Belfast in support of their current album 'Chinese Democracy'. The current touring line up consists of Axl Rose, Frank Ferrer, Tommy Stinson, Richard Fortus, Ron ?Bumblefoot? Thal, Dizzy Reed, Chris Pitman and welcomed guitarist Dj Ashba. This is the first Guns N' Roses tour since 2007. Guns N' Roses play the Odyssey Arena in Belfast on August 31st (?49-?55) and The O2 in Dublin on September 1st (?65.70-?70.70). Tickets go on sale next Friday June 11th at 9am, with O2 presale beginning on Wednesday June 9th at 9am. http://www.hotpress.com/Guns%20N%27Roses/news/Guns-N-Roses-to-return-to-Ireland/6555276.html The band have just confirmed two dates for Ireland this autumn Axl & Co will be bringing their unapologetically old school and iconic brand of rock n' roll to Belfast's Odyssey arena on August 31, and to Dublin's O2 on September 1. It will see the band bringing their tour for the Chinese Democracy album to these shores. Tickets for both shows go on sale Friday next, June 11. http://www.herald.ie/entertainment/music/guns-nroses-coming-back-to-rock-the-o2-2207789.html ROCKERS Guns N' Roses are set to make a triumphant return to Dublin, the Herald can reveal. The American band will be hitting Dublin's O2 on September 1, with tickets expected to be snapped up quickly when they go on sale on Friday, July 11. The worldwide tour promotes the band's current album, Chinese Democracy, which hit the top spot in charts around the globe. Guns N' Roses, with front man Axl Rose, last played Dublin four years ago in the RDS. During this tour, they performed 60 concerts in 26 countries, playing for more than a million fans, including some 30,000 in Dublin. Since they formed in 1985, GNR have sold more than 100 million albums worldwide, including 46 million in the US. Their hits include Paradise City and Sweet Child O' Mine. Thank-you! Thank-you! I cannot put into words how much this delights me! Title: Re: GUNS N' ROSES ANNOUNCE IRISH DATE! Post by: ROSE on June 04, 2010, 01:27:28 PM Great news, roll on Sept 1st!
Slash gig in few weeks and now GNR in September. Title: Re: GUNS N' ROSES ANNOUNCE IRISH DATE! Post by: HBK on June 04, 2010, 01:38:16 PM It has also hosted a number of World Wrestling Entertainment live events including RAW and SmackDown!. WWE visits the Odyssey at least once a year. It hosted UFC 72: Victory on June 16, 2007.
It's also hosted Premier League Darts the last three years. As well as these high-profile sporting events, the Odyssey has also hosted concerts by some of the best-selling music artists in the world, including Metallica, P!nk, Beyonc?, Backstreet Boys, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Ciara, David Jordan, Kanye West, 50 Cent, Chris Brown, Kings of Leon, N.E.R.D. & Snow Patrol. Ireland @ Odyssey Arena Capacity: 15.000 (http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/4548/58213720.jpg) (http://img714.imageshack.us/i/58213720.jpg/) The O2, visually typeset in branding as The O2, is a concert and events venue in Ireland, built on the site of the former Point Theatre which opened on 16 December 2008. It is located at North Wall Quay, Dublin 1, Ireland by the River Liffey, in the Dublin Docklands. U2 were the first band to perform in the venue, for a private audience only. The first event to take place at the arena was the ChildLine Concert on 16 December 2008. The Mighty Boosh was the first comedy act to perform and UFC 93, a mixed martial arts event, was the venue's first sporting event.

Post by: One.In.A.Million on June 05, 2010, 06:16:55 AM This is cool news, I'm going to try to attend the Dublin date.
A couple of days after seeing them twice at festivals (Reading & leeds), it'll be nice to see them at their own show 3 days later. :) Title: Re: GUNS N' ROSES ANNOUNCE IRISH DATE! Post by: Nightfall on June 05, 2010, 06:18:41 AM Trying to be here also!
pff..going to be a busy 2 weeks for me ;) Title: Re: GUNS N' ROSES ANNOUNCE IRISH DATE! Post by: axleire on June 05, 2010, 06:26:34 AM Page 20 on the irish daily star their is an article about the gnr gig and it names all the members and talks about how the album went three times platinum their is a good picture of axl looks like its from one of the acoustic shows in new york this year.
Title: Re: GUNS N' ROSES ANNOUNCE IRISH DATE! Post by: mesaboogie on June 05, 2010, 09:33:59 AM I must check this out as most likely written by my cousin philly.
I am having serious trouble getting o2 presale ready, o2 ireland want accept my Northern Ireland mobile number and then when I register with o2 Uk they wont give my access to o2 Ireland...very fair on the Northern Irish GNR fans. Anyone else have this issue or know and alternative? Title: Re: GUNS N' ROSES ANNOUNCE IRISH DATE!

Could you scan it please? Or maybe a pic would help.. :)Title: Re: GUNS N' ROSES ANNOUNCE IRISH DATE! Post by: Chinese Monopoly on June 05, 2010, 09:56:11 AM I believe that the performance in Belfast will be sold-out almost instantly, the announcement came yesterday and already national radio is covered with promotional jingles for the date. I personally cannot wait until August, by the time we're finished with Guns N' Roses Axl's second name will be Mc Rose or O' Rose or something similar.
Title: Re: GUNS N' ROSES ANNOUNCE IRISH DATE! Post by: gcluskey on June 08, 2010, 11:57:25 AM For chance to buy priority tickets, just text Roses to 51020. From O2.
They'll send you a code and you can buy your tickets tomorrow morning! Title: Re: GUNS N' ROSES ANNOUNCE IRISH DATE!

Any word on a pre-sale for Belfast? Title: Re: GUNS N' ROSES ANNOUNCE IRISH DATE! Post by: mesaboogie on June 09, 2010, 05:07:31 AM no belfast presale as it is not an O2 venue. I joined presale this morning and have turned down all the back row tickets they are offering..priority tickets my ass!!
Title: Re: GUNS N' ROSES ANNOUNCE IRISH DATE! Post by: w.axl.rose on June 09, 2010, 05:13:40 AM shit they are trying to play everywhere before they hit the states :smoking:

I joined presale this morning and have turned down all the back row tickets they are offering..priority tickets my ass!! I was wondering whether I should have entered the pre-sale, but I thought I'd wait until Friday as I'm sure there are still going to be GA or good seats available. And your post has made me all the more happier, although I don't agree with the notion of getting people to sign up for a pre-sale, when you are not offering the best seats. Roll on friday. :) Title: Re: GUNS N' ROSES ANNOUNCE IRISH DATE! Post by: Nightfall on June 09, 2010, 05:43:58 AM I hope i can score a ticket right away...since i already booked the hotel and airplaneticket..... :nervous:
Title: Re: GUNS N' ROSES ANNOUNCE IRISH DATE! Post by: robz150 on June 09, 2010, 08:40:01 AM Got standing tickets this morning, the wait begins!! Should be great, venue should suit them a lot better than the RDS. Sure it will sell out but maybe not straight away, so many negative people dismiss this band with the usual "its only Axl" ah well there loss. I'll be one of the lucky ones there!! :P Title: Re: GUNS N' ROSES ANNOUNCE IRISH DATE! Post by: gcluskey on June 09, 2010, 09:34:12 AM Got standing tickets this morning too...I just wouldn't enjoy a GNR concert sitting down...I need to dance and bounce around a bit! Really looking forward to this, my third time to see Guns N Roses and first time indoors!
Title: Re: GUNS N' ROSES ANNOUNCE IRISH DATE! Post by: mesaboogie on June 09, 2010, 12:12:43 PM got good seats now...Im too old unfortunately! The longer the sale went on the better the seats got..
