    On the venue. I don't think I've ever been to a concert in the Helix. I have seen Modest Mouse in the Radisson in Galway though and thoroughly enjoyed it.

    By saying unless it's a leap year, he covered himself there. If you're going to be correcting someone for being pedantic, at least get it right!

    You do realise there's 365 days (365.25) in a year and 366 in a leap year? You include all days in odds. Eg. The odds of any given day being Saturday are 7/1 not 6/1. Please tell I missed some sarcastic joke or something...

    That's not how bookies odds work. Say there's a marble hidden in one of two pots and you've to pick the one it's hidden in. You've a 50 50 chance, and the odds you'd get in a bookies ignoring profit margins would be 1/1 or evens. Add the two numbers and put the 2nd figure over the sum. So 1+1=2. And 1/2 is the probability. If there was one marble in 3 pots, you'd have a 1/3 chance of being right. Which is 2/1. One in 4 pots is 3/1. And so on.

    Correct sorry I was mixing up bookies odds and probability. I meant 1/365 and 1/366

    To bring all the maths genii a little more on-topic, can I just say..

    The Universe is shaped exactly like the Earth -
    If you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were

    Whether that takes 365 days or 364.whatever days, it hardly matters :)

    Does anybody know the stage times for this one?

    All I can find is doors at 8:15.
    Which I guess means a support band is unlikely.

    Also is there a bar in the helix?

    Thanks in advance!

    Used to be a student in DCU but that was years ago. The pub opposite the entrance to DCU used to be called the Slipper, now Matt Weldons I think. It used to be OKish. No idea what its like now. There is also a bar open in DCU. Don't know if its open on Friday evenings or if it only open to students. Not much use I'm afraid.

    From the MCD website..
    HELIX THEATRE, DUBLIN – FRIDAY 10 JULY 2015

    Have two tickets, probably not going (might be closing on our first house tomorrow and if so, might stay in painting instead of enjoying ourselves :)) - please PM if you want them at cost price.

    That is a very disappointing set time. No consideration at all being shown for fans. It should start earlier if there are 2 support acts. going to be expensive to get home from this gig

    The 9 from College Green or O' Connell St also goes near it, a 9 minute walk away according to Google Maps.

    Couldn't disagree more, I hate being rushed into gigs in this country, this is a breath of fresh air.

    I wish there was more late gigs more often.

    I can see the point of view of people relying on public transport to get home from the gig, but I'm pleasantly surprised at the stage time for MM. The one thing I'd be disappointed with is that the set will 'only' be an hour and a half, but "disappointed" is a vast overstatement.

    This will be my first time seeing them and it is my most anticipated gig of the year, really can't wait for it.

    I saw Modest Mouse in the Academy back in 2009 I think. It was very enjoyable. I didn’t really know any of their tunes except dashboard back then, but the gig resulted in me getting their back catalogue of albums, and leading on to getting their latest release. Really looking forward to the gig. As already posted, the setlists vary from night to night. Very difficult to predict. Hope Spitting Venom gets played. Never get sick of listening to that epic masterpiece. And would be massive to get The Whale Song. Only heard that tune recently.

    Took a while to get in to the new album, but really like it now. Massive variety to the songs when you’ve heard them a few times and they develop their own identity. And love the late start in the Helix. 9pm gigs don’t suit any more with trying to get a couple of toddlers settled into bed in the evenings.

    Worst sound I've ever experienced at a gig in Ireland.

    Shame on them, a basic sound check/practise should have weeded out a lot of the issues.

    Pathetic sound, **** venue. It was obvious to everyone after the first song that the sound was brutal, crazy to let it go on like that. Saw them last time in the academy and it was brilliant. Was really looking forward to that but that was a waste of a few hours and 30 quid.
