Pavement Dublin May 4 2010

indiewindy

Pavement are playing tripod on Tuesday May 4th next year. On sale Friday at 9am, they will be gone in 30 seconds.

Tripod? I would've thought they'd sell out the Olympia easily.

TheBandit

Sweet! Any idea of the price?

Toast

Tripod eh? Thats pretty much a dead cert for EP 2010 as well then.

I have thought they'd have played the Olympia alright.

Gonna be tough to get tickets.

Toast

Tripod and the Olympia have the same capacity. The Olympia is owned by MCD while Tripod is owned by Pod so the venue is a reflection of who the promoter is not the act. It is just rare that MCD miss out the opportunity to bag someone like this though I know Pavement have had issues performing in Ireland before so this may be the reason.

Holy ****, amazing. Didn't Stephen Malkmus play Tripod with the Jicks a year or two back? Now Pavement in the same venue. Good thing there is a nice long gap between this and Primavera Sound.

I would've thought the Olympia was a tad larger than Tripod. Vicar Street would have been another option as well and they could have easily sold out there. Perhaps they chose a small venue as a warmup for an Electric Picnic appearance like you said earlier.

They're both rated at 1300 capacity in any literature I can find (some have Tripod as 1350). Not entirely sure how that is broken down though as it may include Tripods second bar area that hasn't a view of the stage. I've suspected for some time Tripod is counting this area in ticket sales as sold out gigs there are always way more packed than they should be.

I suspect Vicar St is off the cards for POD promoted gigs for a while after the EP split between Aiken and POD. From what I heard Aiken were less than happy. Have there been any since then? I can't think of any.

The only other option after that would have been the O2 but I don't think that would have been feasible. You maybe right about Malkmus requesting Tripod though as he played there before.

honru

I thought the Sonic Youth gig was under POD but strangely enough there's no mention of it on their site or Aiken's. So yep, it does seem like their ties are severed.

EDIT: Is up on the POD site now.

Wow, I thought Tripod was about 800 maximum. Haven't been there in a few years.

It's only open about three years. It was the Redbox before then which did have a smaller capacity I think.

Event has been removed from Ticketmaster. Announced prematurely perhaps?

EDIT: Back up there now.

Does anyone know if tickets are still going on sale friday?

AnonoBoy

It's still up there for me.




Actually no it's not.... everybody ignore it. No tickets on sale Friday.

bundaegi

Sweet. I'd been hoping they would announce a Dublin date. Hope I can grab a ticket - they'll be gone quick...

honru

Shít, just found out I have exam on the 4th.

Thankfully it ends at 20:30 and I'll be more or less 10 minutes away from Tripod once I'm out, so I definitely should be able to catch the whole gig. Think I'll go the seating route for this and standing at Primavera Sound.

Does anyone know if Tripod generally do reserved or unreserved seating at the concerts held there?

Toast

Got tickets.. still seems to be some left... not an instant sell out so.

honru

Yeah, seated tickets seem to be gone, decided to go standing in the end.

bundaegi

Got a couple of standing tickets. That was easier than I expected... they still seem to be on sale now.

ColmDawson

What's the attraction of being seated for a band like Pavement?

discobeaker

got my tickets and i cant wait for this. Im suprised it didnt sell out in seconds but then again alot of people are probably buying tickets for oxygen today.

builttospill

Yeah it seems that everyone got tickets. Strange. I thought they'd be gone like lightning, especially seeing as it's on in tripod. Shows that the brilliance of Pavement still isn't accessible to a lot of people. This just contributes to my love for them...

Miguel_Sanchez

Yeah just wandered on there a minute ago and got some balcony tickets no hassle.

I'm not heading to their ATP so it'll just be here and New York I see them.

Also Tripod is an awful standing venue for packed gigs.

all their fans are in their late 30s. that's the attraction.

Can't really see the point of standing because I don't know how you'd dance to them

One simply rattles one's jewellery.

Kersh

Cant get any, they must be sold out Only heard about this now :(

Anyone else see them in temple bar music centre back in the day? Can't wait to see them again

super_furry

Aw crap, only seeing this now. Jesus - The Tripod? What's wrong was Whelan's booked? Surely they could fill a bigger venue.

Well not long to go now folks. Great site listing their sets in recent gigs - http://www.setlist.fm/stats/pavement-7bd6ae98.html. They seem to have been doing up to 28 songs including encores so I can not wait.

I know this post was a while ago, but where? There's nowhere in between the likes of The Olympia, Tripod, Vicar Street and the o2.

Looking like Villagers and Large Mound will be supporting at this.

MsMoo

I'm horribly jealous I can't go.. :mad:

Hey, would any kind, technologically savy members that are going on Tuesday make a video clip and put it on youtube?

That would be great.

Grrr...

Please don't. One of the things I've grown to hate at gigs is idiots spending the whole time recording it on their phone/camera. How can that be enjoyable? Also, it's very distracting for those around.

McCruiskeen

Uh Oh. Hope this goes ahead. :eek:

Volcanic Ash cloud to close Irish airspace tomorrow. I thinks it's the first leg of their European tour so I really hope they flew in already.

Fingers massively crossed.

Don't worry. They're already in Ireland.

They've been here for a few days.

Villagers will hardly be supporting.
According to the facebook update

Sorry to everyone who was hoping to see us in Camden yesterday and today. My beautiful sister Aoife died yesterday. We all love her and will miss her very much xx

First gig I ever went to was Pavement in the Rock Garden in 1994.Missed the last bus home cos of the encore, late for school the next day....Can't wait to see them tonight...Gold Soundz, Trigger Cut, Silence Kit (Kid), Range Life, Summer Babe, Cut your Hair, Shady Lane...

mewso

I saw them in the Temple Bar Music Centre years ago and lived close enough to the city centre that buses didn't matter. Tonight it's 30 quid on a taxi because it's a tuesday. Why can't my favorite bands play at the weekend?

thorbarry

pigs they tend to wiggle when they walk....

Miguel_Sanchez

Pavement on stage at 9pm sharp tonight.

mewso

Fantastic.
