    HOLY ****, this makes me feel old when i saw them at the TBMC in 2002.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,132 ✭✭✭Just Like Heaven


    Ahh Cliffy Byro are savage. Love shoutin' "Mon the biff'" repeatedly at their gigs. Again and again and again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,901 ✭✭✭Gunslinger92


    Yay :D Any rough estimate as to how much tickets will cost?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,656 ✭✭✭✭Mushy


    Ok im assuming tix shouldnt sell fast for this, but Im all over it. Just cant justify spending the money now. Well, I can, but really shouldnt.

    I hope tickets aren't more than 50. Slim chance of that though.
    I reckon the tickets will sell pretty fast tbh! Only Revolutions was fairly popular. I'd say it depends on whether the crowd that listened to nothing more than Only Revolutions will like the new album or not.

    Id say itll be the 40 mark. Tis a huge step up for them in Ireland.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,563 ✭✭✭Wing126


    Between 32 and 35£ is what they're going for in the UK. I'd expect 45.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,132 ✭✭✭Just Like Heaven


    Gonna be between €33 - €39 I reckon.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 15,559 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    Yea im worried about the turn out tbh over here with the fact they are doing 2 arena shows over here .

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,563 ✭✭✭Wing126


    So is that 36.50 straight up? Or will there be another 6.50 for ticketmaster's charge? I'm always confused with ticket pricing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,656 ✭✭✭✭Mushy


    Yeah Itll be the extra amount added. Try Stephens Green outlet...no charges. Great price.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,563 ✭✭✭Wing126

    It's 36.50 so you won't have to pay the full 6.50. Could be €4 ~ though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,656 ✭✭✭✭Mushy


    New song!

    Sorry to go off topic but I recently bought tickets at Stepehens green with my laser and they charged me a booking fee (only 4 euro for 2 tickets but still) so it looks like it may now be impossible to avoid booking fees :(

    That's just a normal card fee. Cash should have no surcharge.

    It must be recent so, because I was never charged on laser card purchases, only credit card.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 15,559 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    Just got a ticket on presale and grabbed the new album for €50 altogether . MCD said it was sold out ha

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,656 ✭✭✭✭Mushy


    Tis only an XFM gig. Acoustic in the Roundhouse. Been at acoustic show before so not gonna enter.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 15,559 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    We understand Scottish rock trio Biffy Clyro will be revealed as a headliner for this summer's Reading & Leeds Festivals.

    We are led to believe, via someone that we have known for a long time who is close to the band, that the Scottish trio will headline this summer's twin event for the first time this summer having appeared six times previously in 2010, 2007, 2005, 2003, 2002, and 2001.

    The band release their sixth studio double album 'Opposites' on 28th January, and are expected to present tracks from their new material alongside fan favourites in a headlining set over the weekend of the bank holiday weekend, from Friday 23rd to Sunday 25th August. Reading Festival takes place at Little Johns Farm, Richfield Avenue, Reading, Berkshire, and Leeds Festival takes place at Bramham Park, Leeds, West Yorkshire.

    Rapper Eminem is the only headliner confirmed for next year and will be joined by Alt-J, Deftones, Sub Focus, and Boy Better Know. There are no other acts confirmed yet for 2013, expect a line-up that will still include big names from the rock, alternative, indie, punk and metal scenes. No other have been announced by festival organisers. More acts announced in the new year.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 115 ✭✭fichillie


    Hmm...i bought mine through the biffy website presale and they still havent arrived :(


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 32,865 ✭✭✭✭MagicMarker


    Standing tickets are still available for this. I may want to get tickets but not quite yet, I think at this stage it's safe to say it's not going to sell out? Even standing?

    Doubt it was ever going to, unless they using the smaller scale setup. Can never say for sure, but itd be a safe bet.

    Seeing them in Germany in August too, will be weird seeing them as smallest band on a lineup.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 15,559 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    I can see a similar layout like when Example played in the O2 a few weeks ago

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,891 ✭✭✭iamanengine


    I'm going to this but no nothing by City and Colour. Could anyone recommend an album to listen to so I'll know a few of the tunes on the day!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,163 ✭✭✭✭danniemcq

    How is that smaller set up different to the normal one? Only been in the 02 once or twice.
