?65.70 - ?70.70

[jacdaniel]

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!

[estrangedpaul]

Awesome - I'll have to get back into the Guns N' Roses spirit.

[Irish gunner II]

Yes oh fuck yes. Dublin and belfast though ? We have pairc ui chaoimh in cork....actually best not get people potentially crushed in that death trap.


edit: In case I didn't make it very clear I'll be there if I have to crawl there.

U guys need a nice pre-party at a pub before the show

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.

[axleire]

The green room pub behind the o2 is a great venue before a concert and its only 5 minutes walk to the o2.

[BumbleBuzz]

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!

It will see the band bringing their tour for the Chinese Democracy album to these shores.

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!

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.
