It’s time to get down and get lucky at shamROCK 2010! That’s right, on Wednesday, March 17th, St. Patrick’s Day, from 4:00 PM to Midnight; the Gaslamp will make its magical transformation into the greenest party this side of Dublin with the return of the Young Dubliners taking the stage! shamROCK 2010 will certainly have enough traditional Irish music and food to get your step dancing on, but we’re also rolling out over 60,000 square feet of green Astroturf, building three stages of live entertainment, hiring the coolest DJ’s, biggest bands and the hottest go-go dancers you’ve ever laid your emerald eyes on! And don’t think we forgot the most important part of your St. Patrick’s Day party; shamROCK has enough green beer, Jameson Irish Whiskey, and traditional Irish fayre from The Field to shake a four leaf clover at!
This year, shamROCK 2010 will take place in the Gaslamp on “F” street between 5th and 7th Avenues, 6th Avenue between E and G Streets and G Street between 5th and 6th Avenues in the Gaslamp Quarter. The main entrance is located at 5th and G Street and with sell out crowds topping over 20,000 attendees for over a decade; you better get your tickets quick!
shamROCK 2010 is rocking the Gaslamp with three stages of live music and killer DJ’s! Kick off all the green action on the Main Stage with Irish Folk Rock from the ShamROCKers from 4:00 to 5:00 PM, then join in and dance a jig with traditional Irish Step Dancers from 5:00 to 5:30 PM and again from 6:30 to 7:00 PM. Don’t get too winded though because The Fooks are up from 5:30 to 6:30 PM with rock-n-rowdy versions of your favorite Irish pub songs! No matter where you are partying during shamROCK, be sure to get back to the Main Stage from 7:00 to 8:30 PM for the world famous and awesomely irreverent YOUNG DUBLINERS! We’ll give you time to wind down from the Irish rock frenzy from 9:00 to 10:00 PM with No Duh, a No Doubt cover band. But bringing it all home is San Diego’s favorite Irish Punk Rock band, the Down’s Family from 10:30 to 11:30 PM. And spinning records all night between sets will be DJ BDP!
