excellent, missed their last gig because of lazyness and the fact my mates wont go with me.

i'm definatly going on my tod this time round

Eyeliner__Boy

how wonderful!!! pity it's ages away though:(

memaeve

I really want to get their recent album but last time I checked it was sold out. If it's as good as I think it'll be then I'd definitely be interested in going to this.

The Weatherman

They're the "next big thing" now aren't they? That stupid list in The Irish Times, "What's hot, What's cold" called them "Coldplay Lite" today. I hate that list.
(i have a special bond with quotation marks)

bandit

Yeah they are getting a lot of Coldplay comparrisons even though they have been around a long time before coldplay....
In fact I saw them in Dorans playing with Wilt during my first year in college about 5 years ago.

Jesus I'm old.....:(

robwDIT

coldplay me arse! hope to be there meself

legofsalmon

right, I'm there, anyone else??

Cherry

Fahbyooluss.

Can't wait.

loveonautocue

cannot. ****ing. wait.

still get silly chills when i think about their last gig at the tbmc. and the one before that. and the one before... when gary whacked me in the face with the stage door on his way out. bless! so yes, i'll be there as i always am, with a great big stupid smile on my face, singing along quietly and annoying them with requests for 'starfighter pilot'.

snow patrol. i swear, you just can't beat them live.

('final straw' is excellent. it's the only album from last year that i listen to properly... no skipping of tracks... buy it!)

yes please.

Jim

do you think they will only play new tracks? or will there be a healthy mix. their first album is my favourite.

Pencapchew

Just picked up my ticket for the gig. This will be an amazing gig, ive seen them live so many times and they are well worth it. I only hope they play a longer set than the last one in tbmc and this time they play the first song off final straw called how to be dead.

acquiescefc

Deffo think it was too short at TBMC, around 45 mins. Not good, only complaint tho!
Remember when they played Run?? Twas the first time id heard it as I hadnt bought the album until then. People clapped for about 2 mins after it ended.
Will never forget that.

No 5 in the UK...damn good goin.


And on the subject of Coldplay, subtle difference is COldplay are sh1t prima donnas, Snow Patrol are not.

I wonder if it's wrong that I torched my copy of the Sunday Times that called them "this year's Coldplay".

Too much, maybe?

But yes. I'll be buying my ticket this week, I hope.

Silent Grape

as far as i remember,
they only played starfighter pilot the last time
and one night is not enough from 2nd album,
but it should be a few songs longer this time!

no. 5
holy **** they're rockstars!
no better men

you serious? ****.

perhaps though the last time they played they were just tryin to promote their new album. perhaps.

magpie

No thanks, one Coldplay was bad enough.

lacuna

definitly going to be there.

did ya hear Gary on 4Music last week - "maybe after I'll get a bit of tit"

don't you just HATE when he talks about your lovelife on the telly?

Tyrrial

last time i saw them play i was hoping that they would play "get balsanic vinegar, quick you fool".. but they didn't, i haope they do this time. they are a great live band

Pencapchew

yeah....a longer set with a bigger mix of old and new songs would be great, i still loved their last gig in the tbmc, really hope they play how to be dead this time.

Tyrrial

indeed! how to be dead is a great song. best on the album as far as i'm conserned. but not quite the best snoe patrol song

Jim

Chocolate tbh.

Balsamic Vinegar is my favourite over all. Most played on my pc

Tyrrial

i completly forgot about Chocolate, thats a bloody great song.... i don't think i have a fav over-all velocity girl always grabs my attention when it come on. i'd probably say that i enjoy hearing that one the most.

da_deadman

this should be a good gig. Im really looking forward to it. They were good at witness and the tbmc gig was great (even if it was a bit short). I hope this one is just as good.

Silent Grape

how long do u think itll be before its sold out?? im a bit strapped for cash at the mo, but im terrified of leaving it too late (again) and not being able to go (again)

memaeve

Yea, was wondering that myself. Anyone care to make an educated guess?
xm

Jolene

did anyone hear about the two gigs Gaz & co are playing in the (Scottish) Arran Isles over the Easter Weekend?

Anyone goin?

I'd give my right arm, left foot and any other body part you'd care to mention if I could go to this.

mmmBollix

Jim

Just over a week to go!

Support is Iain Archer (also in The Reindeer Section), who you also remember from Turin Brakes in Vicar St last year. Hes playing with some of the members of The Amazing Pilots, who live up to their adjective.

furryvision

iain archer is brilliant!! upstaged turin brakes at vicar st. that time i thought, well i thought turin brakes were **** anyway.
Yiz may be interested to hear that snow patrol are also playin instore tower records on 27th, 2:30 PM

Silent Grape

i left it too late AGAIN to get my tickets, now they're sold out. my heart is actually breaking.

good news about tower though, that shud make the blow about 1% more bearable to deal with.

furryvision

there was someone sellin a ticket face value on the frames site the other day, prob gone by now but keep an eye out there and on snow patrol message board, you never know! people always have spares that they dont wanna sell to scummy touts

sillisome fiend

I just got two tickets for 15euro each on buy and sell Theres a few people with tickets on snow patrol forum but I think they might be gone by now.

Jim

"Cancelled Due To Illness"

The guy in Tower assured me that tonights gig is still going ahead.

sillisome fiend

they played belfast last night.

homecoming gig after much success.

love a pint they do.

go figure.

there'll be a few hangovers floatin about the ambassador stage tonight no doubt.

memaeve

Pity about the Instore, was there myself.
The gig is going ahead tonight as far as I know.
Have fun everyone who's going!
xm

Smurfpiss

yeah i was rather bummed meself...twas me only chance of seeing em dis time around...i reckon the hangover theory was correct...either that or they just werent arsed to come down all the way from belfast that early!which i completely understand.

sillisome fiend

wow what an amazing gig!!:D they're better live then I ever expected. hopefully they'll come back soon. they apologized about tower...said they'll play it next time

Jim

Yeah, quite enjoyed it myself. My only gripe is that they only played 4 songs off "When Its All Over....." and none off "Songs For Polar Bears".

Black and Blue and then Spitting Games. Briliant.

acquiescefc

She reeeeeescues me...class jumpin up and down stuff

Gazza reckons his throat was dodgy so he couldnt make the Tower gig and wanted to save it for last nite.

Good call. Says they will play tower next time.
