Oasis, Slane Castle, summer 2009
Jim Carroll
Best review of the new Oasis album so far? Kitty Empire in the Observer yesterday: “their least worst outing in recent memory”.
Anyway, Noel, Liam and the other members of the world’s favourite meat-and-two-veg rock band will be playing in Co Meath next summer. Remember where you read it first etc when it is announced on Wednesday.
UPDATE: Yes, we were right (again). Oasis play Slane Castle on June 20 next. Tickets go on sale on Friday October 24. Interestingly, prices have not been announced – the calculators must be broken.
”But enough about “Dig Out Your Soul””
Clearly talking about the journalism Ian! The album is good without being amazing. I’d still take it over ‘In Rainbows’ or ‘How to dismantle…’ anyday.
Really like the new album its a real grower. Will be the gig of the year. The best band of the last 20 years.
Don’t just jump on the anti-Oasis band wagon, like sad comments like that of Matt Vinyl ‘As if Oasis fans could read’……thrust me I and many other Oasis fans are well capable of reading.
@Murt – Shouldn’t that read ‘trust’ instead of ‘thrust’? I stand corrected and take it all back. Oasis fans can read, it’s just the spelling they have problems with.
On a more serious note, I think you doth protest too much. I happen to think that Oasis are a pile of poo. I also happen to think that the two albums you describe as ‘two of the best of all time’ are at best, not even mediocre. I’ve followed their career since it began and although I got a buzz out of the collective antics of the Gallagher brothers I soon got tired of their three chord tricks. Liking music is usually subjective. You like Oasis. That’s your prerogative. I, on the other hand, think they’re crap. I have a penchant for eighties synth-pop music and stuff by brass bands. Other people think that stuff is shite. They’re welcome to think that. Different strokes for different folks and all that. If we all liked the same stuff the world would be full of music automatons.
This blog has what’s called a ‘Comments’ box at the end of each post. If you feel like commenting on a post you’re invited to do so. It doesn’t say that the comments posted must be positive towards the band under discussion. If you want to meet similar minded Oasis lovers I’m sure that they have an online forum where you can discuss just how brilliant those first two albums were. Thankfully this blogs owner thinks that variety is the spice of life and he very nicely allows my sometimes inane comments to be included here. On a personal level I don’t moderate comments on my site so come on over and spew some vitriol there, it would bump my stats up no end.
they are proper kate moss {toss}!!go on the aslan
the best announcment in years. about time the best band of the last 20 years played there. hopefully with a crackin support too. Kasabian, Coral maybe??

havent you guys got anything better to do!
i think oasis are fab , and i cannot wait to see them !! woooo hooooo
Prodigy?!! prodigy??! of all people surely oasis could have got someone better to support them, the prodigy are washed up event whores that play any gig thrown their way in recent years…oxegen twice, hifi and im sure there is more. it takes from the fact that oasis are playing slane, il still be there-i was just hoping for a good supporting act, not an exhausted Keith Flint up there still trying to give it socks!
I was in 2 minds to go or not, but once I heard Prodigy were supporting I was going come hell or high water, They are a class act and for sure will get the crowd up for it..Slane is going to rock!!!
Well.. I dont know about all the rest of you, but me and the people I’m going with can not f**king WAIT! I’ve always wanted to go see a gig in Slane, who better than Oasis? They may get alot of criticism, but they put on an amazing show, you can’t deny that! Liam Gallagher is a legend..
Listen 2 wat u’s r sayin!!! Ya’s are all idiots!
here whats with al de negative comments here yous r all a bunch of fat boring fuckin ,,, nd ehh oasis r fucking amazin EVEN FUCKIN BETTER KASABIAN, GET LIVES ,,, live , BUY AN OUL FUCKN ALBUM ONCE IN A WHILE, ge a titwank offfff your dog, nahahhah ,, see yex a slane biyyatccchhhesss
It’s so funny to see all these really snobby people who for some reason think they’re above Oasis fans. ‘As if Oasis fans can read’ said one of yis. And I BET he was a Southsider. Snobby fool. Get over your superiority issues and dig a really great band. ‘Nuff said on the topic. I will be thoroughly be enjoying my self… Fuckin’ in the bushes.
You may be able to read but you certainly cant spell, my dear.
When the talking is over
All the crowd has gone
Nothing left i can do
Am i ever gonna get through to you
Its alright
It’s actually “can’t” Christopher but not to worry (my dear!) Any one got any idea when Arctic Monkeys will confirm a date at Marlay Park to complete the absolute perfect Summer of gigs? Oasis, Blur, Coldplay… What a time to be 19!
Peter – expect that Arctic Monkeys announcement to be made in the coming week(s)
some load of piss flaps this
New album out in the Summer with an Arctic Monekys edition of NME coming out next week. That gig announcement has to be coming very soon (if it’s to come at all).
what bunch of wankers commenting here, no doubt middle class shit heads, the sort oasis themselves hate FUCK OFFFFFF
slane slane slane slane, yokes yokes yokes
I must agree with benny , never heard such negative pricks !!!! Just go to the concert and fucking enjoy it and dont be so fucking pathetic!!
stuart
Slane castle here i cum i cnt wait gna be a savage concert!!!
Best concert ever!!!!
I am closing this thread because (1) gig is over (2) all the action is now on Joe Duffy (3) this thread has gone on far too long, (4) I’m really bored of having to deal with comments every week from Oasis muppets, sorry, fans and (5) oasis are a terrible, terrible band.
