It’s just been announced by Aiken Promotions that Bob Dylan will play Thomond Park in Limerick on American Independence Day this year. Holy fourth of July, Batman! The tickets go on sale on Monday, March 15th, at 9.00am through Ticketmaster and the usual outlets nationwide. I’ve previously written extensively about Mr Zimmerman here and here and I’m sure I’ll be writing a bit more about him over the coming months. I must say that I’m delighted that Bob is paying a visit to the little patch of Ireland that I’ve called home for the last 16 years. In fact, I’m so excited that I’m even going to get up early on Monday to get my ticket. After all that excitement I’m off to make a cup of tea to calm me down. See you all on the fourth of July!

[...] Bob Dylan’s Thomond Park gig on July 4th is going to be a big day for music lovers in Limerick, but it’s going to be an even bigger one for a one lucky local act. It hadn’t been officially announced when I wrote last week that Alabama 3 had been added to the list of support acts for the day. The organisers of the the event, Aiken Promotions, have since confirmed that Alabama 3 will join Seasick Steve and David Gray for what promises to be an interesting lineup. They have also revealed that the opening act will be drawn from a shortlist of five unsigned Limerick acts who will perform at Dolan’s Warehouse at the end of June for the chance to appear on the same stage as Bob. The competition is being organised by a local newspaper and radio station and you can find more details at the websites of The Limerick Leader and 95fm. Fair play to Aiken Productions for giving this opportunity to a local band and well done to the local media for giving the gig some free publicity [...]
