On Thursday March 13, there was "uproar" and "bewilderment" as it was revealed that R.E.M.'s new album Accelerate would be accepted as "Irish music" by the Broadcasting Commission of Ireland. As the album was recorded in Grouse Lodge Studios in County Westmeath it qualifies as "Irish". BCI chief executive Michael O'Keeffe confirmed this was to be the case.[39] "It's supporting the Irish music industry," he said. Kylie Minogue, who recorded a number of tracks for her album Fever in Dublin's Windmill Lane Studios, including the title track and the hit single "Love at First Sight", would also be considered "Irish". Irish musicians openly condemned the position. Steve Wall said that it was "the first time I heard that".[40][41] "It sounds ridiculous. Shame on them", was the view of Concerto For Constantine bassist, Gavin Fox, calling it "just another excuse for stations not to get behind Irish music". Kíla's Colm Ó Snodaigh referred to how "we used to have Def Leppard and Lisa Stansfield living here as tax exiles, does that mean they'd count as Irish too?" and stating that R.E.M. "certainly don't need the extra airplay". Julie Feeney called for "a bit of imagination and persistence from a DJ who's willing to take the jump and play Irish artists."[42]Louis Walsh called it "crazy" and criticised Irish stations constantly playing United States acts such as Timbaland, Nelly Furtado, Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, making the point that Snow Patrol's success came largely out of their music appearing on a US TV show and emphasising the difficulties faced by potential future U2s.[43] Music directors at local radio stations Red FM (Cork) and Phantom 105.2 (Dublin) said that they would not include international artists who had recorded in Ireland as part of their required "Irish music" output.[44]
On Friday March 14, the AppleiPhone was launched in Ireland, available on the O2 network only.[45]Churchtown student Philip Cosgrave (21), was the first person in the country to purchase the phone.[46] The iPhone was made available in eight and 16GB models, but these were criticised for their price, retailing in Ireland for €399 and €499 respectively.[47]

On Sunday March 16 at approximately 01:15,[49] the Dublin nightclub and music venue, The Village on Wexford Street caught fire. Over 800 people inside at the time were evacuated safely within seven minutes.[50] The fire affected mainly the front of the premises and the damage to the building was not extensive. The fire was blamed on an electrical fault.[51] Meanwhile, Bell X1's tour bus caught fire outside the hotel where they were staying in Medford, Massachusetts. Paul Noonan and David Geraghty were on board the vehicle at the time and raised the alarm after smelling smoke.[52] Fire fighters were called to the scene shortly after 3.30 a.m. and took 90 minutes to put out the blaze, which started in the bus' ventilation/air-conditioning unit and caused an estimated $50,000 worth of damage. On Saint Patrick's Day they appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman,[53] a move that led to their Chicago show selling out.[54]

On Tuesday May 13, illness put paid to two gigs due to take place in Dublin that night. The Pigeon Detectives cancelled their Academy show after frontman Matt Bowman suffered a serious leg injury during the band's set at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Kent, after which he was brought to hospital where it was initially feared he might need emergency surgery. Their performance in Belfast's Mandela Hall on May 14 was also affected by the injury.[73] However, on Friday May 16, it was announced that they would be appearing at Oxegen alongside The National, The Go! Team, The Enemy, Tricky and One Night Only.[74][75] On June 3, The Pigeon Detectives announced rescheduled dates in Dublin's Academy on July 22 and Belfast's Mandela Hall on July 23.[76] Meanwhile, Canadian group, Black Mountain also cancelled their gig in the Button Factory on the same night due to an unspecified illness.[77] On May 14, Skinny Wolves Club gig was cancelled "due to a mess up with EX MODELS flights, leaving them stranded in London, unable to fly to Dublin for the gig."[78] On May 19, Animal Collective cancelled their Tripod show due to missing a ferry, "the third no show in a week" as dramatically (and inaccurately) described by Hot Press.[79] Arch-rivals State bit back with news that a new show, with support from Atlas Sound, had been put together on the same date at Whelan's, causing uproar amongst fans who had been let down by Hot Press and Phantom news bulletins.[80]

The Show – a "music based pop culture" programme – will act as a complement to Tom Dunne's Pet Sounds before it.[84]

His setlist included "Promised Land", "Radio Nowhere", "Prove It All Night", "The River", "Thunder Road", "Badlands", "Because the Night", "Born to Run" and about 20 other classics. Explaining why the missus wasn't with him, Springsteen said: "Patti's at home. The cookies have been taken out of the oven. The Guinness is being poured. My favourite clothes are being sold on eBay. No, we've got three teenagers, one of whom is graduating."[85]Photos

Humanitarian rock stars Bono and Bob Geldof guest edited the Friday May 31 edition of the Asahi, Japan's second largest newspaper. Bono defended the pair's temporary career change by saying: "Lots of people are closet rock stars – they stand up in the mirror and play air guitar, well, myself and Bob, we're closet journalists." The main aims of the pair were to change Africa's negative coverage in the Japanese media and to encourage Japan to increase its African aid and investment. The eight-page Africa section focused on Africa's culture, economy and politics rather than poverty and war. Bono said: "Really we're trying to reframe the stories about Africa, most of which historically are tragic. We would like to turn this around a bit and make the stories about opportunity and the adventure of the African continent, not the burden and the obligation."[94]
On Friday June 6 and Saturday June 7, Radiohead played two outdoor concerts at Malahide Castle in Dublin.[97] They were supported by Bat for Lashes.[98]Thom Yorke urged Irish fans travelling to and from their Malahide Castle shows to be more carbon conscious this summer, by travelling by public transport, by foot or in a car pool.[99] A section of the car park was turned into a bicycle-only zone so fans could cut down on their carbon emissions. The park had a capacity for a huge number of bicycles and was well manned by security so that fans could leave their cars at home for Radiohead's shows.[100]Photos

The 55,161 ticket holders were able to obtain a full ticket refund including booking fee from their Ticketmaster point of purchase from 9 a.m. on Friday June 13.[113][114][115][116] The six days notice was too much for some, with Today FM's Ray Foley expressing his disappointment and shock live on radio having just heard the news as he came on air.
Also on Friday June 20, Eric Clapton played the Marquee in Cork. On Saturday June 21, Clapton played Malahide Castle in Dublin, his first Dublin appearance since the Point in 2004.

On Tuesday July 15, Meat Loaf was forced to postpone an appearance at Bundoran Live until the following day over stage safety fears.[137] "We just had real security issues inside, like the tent falling down on the audience and the stage falling down, and lights falling down, so yeah, real security issues", he told Ocean FM.[138]Chris de Burgh, Des Bishop and Shayne Ward were also due to perform in the marquee in the following week. Meat Loaf was later threatened with legal action after yelling at the audience: "You can thank me for saving your fucking lives. This fucking tent would have fallen down all around you." Sean McEniff was outraged and, showing how backwards Bundoran really is, had this to say: "....the language is unrepeatable what he called me....it's with my legal people at the moment...if I was in the audience I wouldn't be very happy about it either, he called them a name too...I can assure you he won't be welcome back in Bundoran, he's burned his bridges".[139]

He last played Dublin in 1987, when he performed at the Olympia Theatre.[145] Tickets for Waits's summer shows were limited to two per person but, in an effort to beat touts, a valid I.D.

U2 plan to release their twelfth studio album, the follow-up to 2004's How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. It will be followed by a twelve-month world tour.[187] Following a stint in Dublin's Windmill Lane Studios earlier in the year, the band moved to France in May 2008 to continue recording No Line on the Horizon.[188] In August there was much unconcern when a Dutch fan uploaded poor quality recordings of four songs from the album ("Moment Of Surrender", "For Your Love", "Sexy Boots" and "No Line On The Horizon") onto YouTube, after recording them on his mobile phone as they blared out a window of Bono's French Riviera retreat in Eze-sur-Mere.[189]

With pals desperately trying to persuade him to sign up one of the rock bands, he stood firm saying they were not up to scratch.[374]
