Delighted! Did not think they would come to Ireland and I would have been off to the UK.
Saturday night show complete bonus!

Looking forward to this!

Absoute gift of a gig........saw them supporting Bon Jovi in the RDS in 2001 or so, and hooked ever since....nice and intimate in Vicar St too!

rednik

After the dates they just completed in the UK I did'nt think they would be back, looking forward to this one.:)

blastman

Good stuff. Saw them supporting Bon Jovi too, went in early especially to see them. Looking forward to this...

One of my old guilty pleasures. Pretty sure it's not the original line up. Just Rob Thomas and a band? COuld be wrong though!

eamondunphy

no mention of the vicar street gig on ticketmaster, only the uk ones

any info on the irish gig?

It is all but one of the original line up. Adam Gaynor isn't with them anymore. Hope the concert goes ahead.

Walt Grace

Really hope this Dublin gig goes ahead, otherwise it will be across to London to see them for me. Awesome band.
If anyone hears anything about the Vicar St gig please post here.

The Band have announced it, I'd assume there's been no release statement from Aiken as themselves and MCD announced a rake of gigs yesterday, so I'd expect it in the next day or so.........

The VIP Ticket prices for the UK are a disgrace, as high as £532stg really shocking.....

Same here bigtime! I used to love Yourself or Someone Like You, threw it on in the car the other day and was wondering if they were still around

May go to this if the price is reasonable

Maybe they are going to move it to the O2 and are waiting to confirm? Probably wishful thinking.
anyone got a presale password for the London gig by any chance?!:)

Irishshin

Will be gutted if this is cancelled.
Noticed it was taken off their site today too

jossnjuice

anybody hear any more murmurs on this one?

lordgoat

I think it's going ahead in vicar st. Confirmation shortly.

Irishshin

Hope so

Got Manchester tickets anyway. Just in case!

Really hope this is confirmed. Got London tickets anyway.

They need to sample the Irish crowd though, been way too long since they played here!

Walt Grace

So it looks like this gig will be on. The band responded to a question asked by someone on Twitter. Just have to wait for the announcement now!

Love Rob Thomas so hope they do an Irish gig would think The O2 would be bigger for them

Furious-Red

Heard that Aiken are just waiting for their management to confirm everything

datk

I had emailed Vicar Street asking about it and got the email a few people did saying no concert had been announced yet etc etc.

Just got another reply to my email with a simple - follow our twitter and facebook for upcoming announcments. I may be reading far too much into it but fingers crossed it means something!!

Limerick91

Yeah I got that email also.

Hopefully that means an announcement in the next few days

Furious-Red

Hey Ireland - If you're a Matchbox Twenty Fan Club Member, keep an eye out for a special announcement hitting your emails tomorrow...

Was still able to get 2 standing tickets but between now and the gig if anyone with 2 seating tickets would like to swap, give me a shout. Cheers.

Damn it, I wasn't able to find any. I searched for tickets in Block D, E and F. What category from the list below would Blocks A, B and C have fallen under below because I wasn't able to search for tickets there? Sorry, not familiar with Vicar St.

Falls under none of those categories.

Block A, B & C are all on the ground floor (level 1)

Generally speaking, the ground floor seats are a free for all as they're not cordoned off from the standing area. So if you have standing, you're free to wander back.

The last standing gig I was at in Vicar Street you could freely wander back to the seats freely.

The only ground floor reservable seats are wheelchair/attendant seats.

rednik

Got 2 standing, next year is turning out be a busy one gig wise.

Hi all, just wondering if this is sold out? I've a lot of teenage memories of Matchbox Twenty, saw them in Cardiff in 2008 and would love to see them again.
