Slane 2009

  • Lord Henry Mountcharles is understood to be in "serious negotiations" with potential acts for Slane in 2009.[341] At the time the concert was due to take place AC/DC would have been in the middle of an 18-month world tour, their first in eight years, making the band one of the favourites to be the headline act.[342] However, on October 14, 2008, the band confirmed a date at the O2, Dublin which cast doubt on such a likelihood.[343] Then, the following day, Oasis confirmed themselves as Slane 2009 headliners.[344] Noel Gallagher and guitarist Gem Archer flew by helicopter [345] into the County Meath venue for a photoshoot and press conference.[346] The show will take place on Saturday June 20, 2009.[347] Promoter MCD had planned to keep the announcement secret but news was leaked on online bulletin boards and blogs [348] with media reports beginning to leak the evening before.[349][350][351]
