The National - Cork (Marquee) & Dublin (Iveagh Gardens) Dates - July 2014

aka accounts 2010

JUST ANNOUNCED!


The National
July 14th
Cork, Live At The Marquee

July 16th
Galway Arts Festival

July 18th & 19th
Dublin, The Iveagh Gardens

TICKETS ON SALE TOMORROW MORNING AT 9AM

Following two incredible live shows in Ireland in 2013 The National return to the Marquee in Cork on July 14th and take over The Iveagh Gardens, Dublin for two nights on July 18th and 19th.

When The National performed to an ecstatic audience at the Marquee last June they walked off stage and immediately asked ‘Can we do this again next year?’ such was the electricity of the occasion. They followed that show with a sold-out 02 in Dublin in November proving indie-rock bands can step up to arenas and still have the hairs on the back of your neck stand to attention. The lyrical soul-searching intelligence you hear on The National’s records takes on an intense almost frenzied dimension when performed live. It’s impossible not to be moved by Matt Beringer’s raw animation.

MCD and Aiken goin ape**** with gig announcements hoping people will buy as Christmas presents
Iveagh could be a good venue for them, instead of the the Point

Just Like Heaven

Galway on the 16th.

This is amazing. I was dying to see them again after Belfast. Didn't think they'd be playing over here again for a few years! This just so happens to fall when I'm home from Edinburgh for 2 weeks also. Perfect timing.

Delighted with the Dublin venue, delighted with the nights (fri/sat) but tickets on sale at 9am on a Saturday morning is a pain in the arse!

Iveagh Gardens is about 5,000 capacity right? Should sell out at least one for Dublin tomorrow I reckon

Dublin gigs are clashing with Longitude if people are thinking of going to both.

Anyone announced for that yet?

Will try and get a ticket for the National in Galway or Cork before the Iveagh gardens.

Great news about galway. Saw them in Cork duting the summer but had to sell my tickets to the gig in the Point due to financial reasons. Definately one of the biggest bands to play galway?

Latitude made its initial lineup announcement and there should be some crossover between the two.

suprised a gig for Galway Arts Festival is announced so early but delighted.
Saw them at the O2 and they were great.

How does Iveagh Gardens compare to The Marquee? Saw them at The Marquee earlier this year.

Venue wise what do ye think will be better - the Galway Arts Festival or Iveagh Gardens? Torn!!!

dirkmeister

Iveagh Gardens would be cool, but you can't beat Galway for atmosphere ! My vote is for Galway..

Got me a ticket for Cork! Not even sure I'll still be living anywhere near Cork in July but I've incentive not to drift too far now.
I very briefly saw them at Electric Picnic in 2010; we missed the start of their set 'cause my (ex) bf had to run back to get his phone, and then I had to leave after two or three songs to go see Fever Ray (who came on later than advertised >_<) so I really didn't see a lot. I'm more familiar with them now though so will be able to appreciate them more anyway. Don't know anyone else as of yet who's going though so may end up there on my lonesome.

A tent?

No way, the sound in the Iveagh Gardens is surprisingly very good for an out door venue.

Gonzovision

Iveagh Gardens is a lovely venue. Fantastic on a nice summers evening.

Owen Pallett (Final Fantasy) is the support.

Just bought a ticket for the 19th there on Ticketmaster. Maybe they have released a few more or maybe there was only one ticket left and I got it. (Billy no mates )

Anyway, looking forward to them and Owen Pallet.

What did you guys think of tonight? Really enjoyed it, was hoping for About Today to be played but not really surprised and I had expected them to play to Conversation 16, but apart from that I thought it was a great gig. When Matt came out onto the crowd during the encore was brilliant, he must be an absolute nightmare to play with at times though!

I loved it ,fantastic gig .
Wouldnt be familiar with alot of their newer stuff but I liked Boxer and Alligator .
Crowd were well up for it and the band were great.Real showmen.
2 hours flew by ,must say Matt does like a drink .

Really liked Phosphorescent too ,great tunes ,crowd really liked them.

Oh yeah forgot to add ,whoever the 7 foot tall guy in the front row was ,I hope you realise that you didnt need to be in the front row,if you are 7 feet you will have a good view anywhere.

Hi guys, can anyone give me any info about the iveagh gardens gigs? Is it fully outdoor or in a tent? Is it a festival vibe or like a normal gig? I've been to the comedy festival there

PadraigOK

If it's anything like Beach House last year then it'll be outdoors.

Bar to the back of the site, merch/grub to the left, toilets on the right, stage front. As it's a sell out, I'd imagine it'll be a more difficult to get to the bar and toilets than last year (was incredibly easy then).

Im not really a fan of them, dont dislike them in the slightest either. It was grand, no bad songs but got a bit same-y after a while, then picked up again. Still really enjoyable though. Singer is hilarious. I would return to see em alright.

Only caught end of phosphorescent, they were damn good. Id see them again in a heartbeat.

Awesome gig! Matt is a legend going through the crowds like that They really got the crowd going for the big ones. Best bits for me though were the slower songs (Ada, Slow Show, Exile, Hard to Find, Vanderlyle, Demons). The Geese of Beverly Road was the stand out song on the night for me. Matt voice is incredible and they are mesmerising to see live. The light show was impressive too.

The only blip on the night was Pink Rabbits, don't know what happened but Matt's voice was all over the place for it, it actually sounded bad. That song was the highlight last year, this year...

I highly recommend you check it out. I love Boxer and Alligator but I just get lost listening to High Violet and Trouble Will Find Me. Such beautiful albums. Trying to pick a favourite from those 4 is what I imagine trying to pick a favourite child is like for a parent :pac:

Did Matt injure himself at the gig last night?
Saw a photo on FB page of a big bloodied cut on his leg.
Really enjoyed them, was so happy they sang Geese of Beverly Road, all that was missing was 'Secret Meeting'.
Anyone think that Matts voice can be a little muffled at times, maybe its the way he uses the mic?

sinead88

They were amazing in Cork last night. Exile Vilify was fantastic.

Ya was a great show, they seemed to have a bit more energy last year though.

I was sitting in the C stand and Matt wandered over. Got to help him up the steps and carry the microphone cable for him He just stood at the top of the steps, dropped the mic and headed back to the stage! Seemed well out of it.

"....Seemed well out of it."
Thought so too..
Hope he's a bit more coherent for the Iveagh Gardens on Saturday

Not in the sense that he was completely out of it...more a case of him being in the zone.

In the Mistaken for Strangers documentary, there is a small piece about how he goes to a different place when he's performing.
