I think if we can manage to fill up this page with irate comments they just might listen. WHY THE HELL AREN'T YOU COMING TO IRELAND THIS YEAR?!?!? We really want to see a Dublin show over here and I'm pretty sure our brothers up north are thinking the same thing. Please NME...

I agree seeb123, The line up for this year is appalling. Ireland should be thankful these bands aren't coming over. Glasvegas stink and the lead singer was a total idiot on nevermind the buzzcocks.

Relax one and all. There will be a Dublin date in the Ambassador and night in Belfast the following night. Both will precede all the listed shows above.
