ATL|13:59 UK time, Monday, 28 November 2011

Don't get us wrong, the EMA's coming to Belfast was more than a little special. But it also left team ATL a little disappointed. Problem was, we'd heard a couple of relatively solid rumours that Foo Fighters were going to be secret guests of sorts, not only playing a song at the ceremony, but a very low key full gig at a medium sized venue in the city afterwards. It made sense - they've a new album out and Dave Grohl is the type of guy who'd buzz off playing to a couple of hundred people in a place like Belfast. But it never happened and Foo Fighters remain in a handful of amazing bands who've never played this country.

Last year I investigated the reasons certain bands avoid Northern Ireland, but it's still more than a little annoying how often we end up traveling to see our favourite acts.

So, for no other reason than it's good to increase your levels of rage and frustration every now and again, here's a list of great bands who've never set foot in our country. Feel free to add to this list via our facebook and our twitter!

Foo Fighters

Arcade Fire

Friendly Fires

Daft Punk

Swedish House Mafia

Jay Z

Justice (Live)

Snoop Dogg

Empire of the Sun

Pavement
