    Nice one. That’s a definite gig for me. Should be good. Although I only have 2 albums of theirs. Looks like it will be overload of Future Islands for the next 6 months.
    Wouldn’t have thought they would fill Iveagh Garden though.

    Had quick google there and no mention about new album on the way.

    Ah they should fill that no problem, they went down a storm on the main stage at EP two years ago, good word of mouth will always help move tickets.

    There was a Nialler 9 article yesterday indicating new album due this year, can't remember any date. I think they sold out 2 nights at Vicar street last year plus their EP set so this should sell well.

    This will be fantastic anyway.

    Vicar Street was back in 2014 would you believe so the appetitite to see them will be huge.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,801 ✭✭✭✭bodhrandude


    I don't get it, they said in the Electric Picnic interview in 2015 on RTE 2 that the next time they came to Ireland they were going to play Galway, maybe they might get added to the Galway arts festival line up in the Big Top.

    yep, and the tickets were €22.50 inc. fees, up to about €50 now

    Maybe not, a lot of acts seem to play both venues iirc.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3 chemicaldoc


    I went to see them in Vicar street and they were brilliant. I subscribed to there news letters but can tseem to get a presale code anywhere?
    Pre sale starts tomorrow morning. Any ideas?

    Did you buy the tickets online from TM for them last time around? I have them as a "favourite artist" on ticketmaster but got no email and I get all the newsletters etc.

    Ticketmaster emailed a friend about the gig with presale info and I'm convinced it's because she purchased tickets last time around online.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3 chemicaldoc


    Yes. I booked tickets last time round on TM. It only went up this afternoon about the pre sale. I called Aiken and it seems that there is a small presale for Spotify Super Fans. I am currently listening streaming FI in the hope for a code. General sale is has a limit of 9 tickets. So the Touts may do well unfortunately.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,757 ✭✭✭MyPeopleDrankTheSoup


    calling this now, there's no way this will sell out


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,355 ✭✭✭cruhoortwunk


    calling this now, there's no way this will sell out
    Wouldn't bet on it, capacity of Iveagh is only around 5000. They sold out 2 nights in Vicar St in 2014, that would be a total of 3000.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 697 ✭✭✭aristotle25


    Seems a presale has started this morning. I got an email from Spotify for being a "fan" of them on Spotify and bought tickets with it.

    Yeah it was a weird one. Ticketmaster sent emails themselves two days ago about a presale and provided a link that was working but dead as of this morning an hour before onsale time and then emails came from Spotify just after 9 this morning that did work.

    Anyway, got my tickets so very excited now!

    Nice one chemicaldoc, just got mine from that link too! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 80 ✭✭CD8ED


    Any way to get these before they go on sale tomorrow or is the presale over?

    waht's iveagh like as a venue?

    It has a lot going for it - lovely setting, right in the centre of town, easy to get in and out etc.

    However I've been to a few gigs there (Bell X1, St Vincent, The Frames, The National) and it's full of chatterboxes who are out for the night and don't really give a ****e about the music. At one gig there was a girl who literally had her back to the stage for the whole thing yapping away.

    Also the sound seems to be quite low. I guess because it's in the middle of a residential area. But coupled with the constant chatter it's a bad combo.

    I recommend going right up front to avoid both of these issues.


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 17,425 ✭✭✭✭Conor Bourke


    Picked up a pair of tickets via the Spotify presale, nice one. Missed them in Vicar St. so very much looking forward to this but dread the chatterboxes. Last gig I was at there was St. Vincent in 2015, painful.

    You would think that this being a Thursday it might not be quite as bad as the Friday night gigs for people out for the night. If I recall St Vincent and the National were both Fridays.

    The boom is back, I don't think that the gig being a Thursday will be a deterrent but I hope I'm wrong.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,972 ✭✭✭flasher0030


    The only Iveagh Gardens gig I was at was The Pixies. The music drowned out any chatter. I've never seen Future Islands live before, but I would imagine that the music is lively enough that low levels of whispering shouldn't be a problem. It has ruined many a gig for me.

    Does lead singer still do that funny dance that he did on Letterman show?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,801 ✭✭✭✭bodhrandude


    Future Islands has added another date 5th July Wednesday for Galway at the Black Box venue. 35 Euro :)

    They've also added Dolans Pub on the 3rd of July and Cork Opera House on the 4th of July.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,801 ✭✭✭✭bodhrandude


    Right I managed to get two standing tickets for their Cork Opera House gig on the 4th July for my sister and her husband for their respective birthdays. The problem is I live in Galway and they live in Bandon, when purchasing the tickets I found I couldn't change the delivery field to my sisters address in Bandon, which means they are defaulted to me a fortnight or so before the gig. I contacted Ticketmaster but apparently they can't change the delivery address for some reason :confused: So I emailed them again to see if I can change them to etickets where I simply just send the pdf to my sister to print off. I'm sure it will all work out in the end anyway, but ticketmaster are an awkward lot eh!

    Edit: Just got another email from Ticketmaster saying that the 'print at home option' is not available for this event, how fecking stone age is that.

    Why dont you change them to getting picked up at the box office


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,801 ✭✭✭✭bodhrandude


    Why dont you change them to getting picked up at the box office

    Would they not need my ID though as I'm in Galway and I purchased them, I also foolishly ticked that bloody missed ticket insurance box thinking it was Ticketmasters T&Cs, luckily I came across this thread and returned their email cancelling my event insurance.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,064 ✭✭✭poundhound


    @ bodhrandude; you'll get the tickets well in advance of the gig and be able to redirect them to Bandon.

    I ordered mine on the first day of sale and received them soon after.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,746 ✭✭✭BullBlackNova


    My tickets arrived yesterday.

    If you were worried, I'd recommend calling the Opera House. They are very accommodating and may well be able to do something for you.

    I've had tickets changed to pick up at the box office, changed postal addresses and even reprinted there. (I must be a f*cking nightmare.)

    Also, I've never been asked for ID when picking up tickets at COH, though that wouldn't necessarily be a guarantee. However, I'd say if you flagged it with the venue that someone else would be picking them up, they'd be happy to assist.

    Ticketmaster are a nightmare to deal with but COH are one of the friendliest venues in the country in my experience.

    Also - new album out today. Sweeeeeeet.

    On Spotify now too, I have to say I love the Future Islands especially Sam Herring - check out some of their releases under other pseudonyms

    The Snails
    Art Lord and the Self-Portraits

    Sam raps in the 3rd verse of this track too - not a rap fan in general but this is pretty solid

    is the concert sold out>


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,972 ✭✭✭flasher0030


    Showing up on ticketmaster as none available. There are very few gigs that are actually sold out until right up to the gig. Likes of Ed Sheeran, Adele would be proper sold out. No more available. But for many Artists, Ticketmaster drip-feed some tickets for sale at various intervals in the weeks before the gigs. I would be pretty confident that there will be tickets available for this at some point.

    Is this just the Dublin gig sold out, still hoping to get a Galway ticket in the next week or two.

    Gotta say, the new album is a major disappointment.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,079 ✭✭✭✭Exclamation Marc


    I sat down last night and listened through as he vinyl finally arrived and have to say I really like it. Will probably give it a second listen tonight.

    Debbie Harry popping up on one track was a pleasant surprise too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,972 ✭✭✭flasher0030


    Had a sneaky look at the typical setlists for the tour. Looks amazing.
    New album has really grown on me too. I was a bit underwhelmed at first. But there is great satisfaction in that feeling after about 20 listens - that you get a sense of excitement when putting on the album.

    Can't help you on the stage times but they're tour is playing between 20 and 24 songs per night so I'd guess somewhere between ninety minutes and two hours.
