Anyone been to a gig at the Iveagh Gardens? Wondering what its like as a venue.

I went to a gig there a few years ago and thought it was a nice venue. It's kind of like going to a gig in Marlay Park or Phoenix Park but a lot cosier or more intimate. The trees are more on top of you and the buildings around the park make it feel more enclosed. They generally have a good setup with a cover in the standing area to avoid any mud and bars in the back.

It's a great setting - the 'venue' itself is about the size of a football pitch, with sloping sides and it's totally enclosed by mature trees - as JJ says, the park itself is also surrounded by buildings, so it all adds to a great atmosphere...

As far as I know it's just that some venues don't have the equipment in place (scanners etc) to deal with them.
Brought my parents to Imelda May in Iveagh Gardens last year and was the exact same.

Kinda nice to get the physical tickets in the post sometimes too

Mince Pie · 22-01-2015 7:22pm

Why does anyone bother saying this for small gigs - it sold out because there was greater demand than supply. Nothing to do with touts buying 9 at a time.

david75 · 30-01-2015 5:13pm

theyve added a second date though..they could easily do it in marlay park or the point but smaller is always better

massafonica · 06-04-2015 3:55pm

Hi guys,
looking for 1-2 tickets for the Frames at Marquee.
Anyone with a spare one?

Thanks

jadie · 02-06-2015 4:17pm

more tickets now available in Marquee for seating only

Mince Pie · 06-06-2015 12:40pm

Hey, anyone know what time the gigs finish at at the Iveagh Gardens on a Sunday night? Trying to figure if I need to drive or if I can get a bus home. I'm aware that Glen is notorious for running over.

dcr22B · 09-06-2015 11:50am

Any idea on who is playing support at the Iveagh Gardens gigs?

Bowlardo · 09-06-2015 11:34pm

will the play the picnic?

david75 · 10-06-2015 4:08pm

Now that'd be amazin...

david75 · 12-06-2015 3:55am

Nice

Through the frames 25 years, they've always been very lucky to work alongside some fantastic photographers and artists. It seemed like a good time to put together a songbook of 30 of our favourite songs, alongside images - many previously unseen - from their whole career. The tabulation pages were designed by Dunk Murphy to specifically reflect glens personal guitar fingering and a companion page accompanying each song has been selected by our very close artistic cohort David Cleary who himself has been around the band since way, way back in the day…..again, we hope you like it as much as we do…..
We've only done a small run of these books and they will be available at the shows in July. If we have any left then we will sell them through the frames web store.

No idea yet, they will usually only announce that a day or two beforehand.

Typically the main act will be on about 8.30/9 and the support act in and around 7pm.

Thanks anyway, have a meal booked for my wife and myself around 5.30pm and having never heard of the Booka Brass Band but after seeing some fo their work, would love to get in and see them too.

Thanks for your help with that
