Thin Lizzy and Elbow join Kings of Leon at Slane

MERCURY Prize winning band Elbow and a reformed Thin Lizzy have been named among the support acts to join Kings of Leon on the bill for Slane 2011.

However, 80,000 tickets at €79 a pop for the concert on Saturday, May 28, have already sold out — and did so in less than 40 minutes.

Oasis were the last band to headline the historic venue, with their gig in 2009 marred by complaints that people could not get back to Dublin for hours afterwards.
