Caught them last time they played here in the Olympia and they were top notch.

Way too big of a venue for them.

It'll be curtained off so capacity will be around 8-10k.

I really enjoyed their last show here. Looking forward to hearing what the second album brings!

Saw them in the Olympia (great venue for them) and outdoors at Rock Wertcher a few years ago - they are still pretty decent playing to a big audience, so I wouldn't discount the 3 Arena gig being awesome!

In fairness, the sound in the 3arena is quality. I thought 3arena would be a terrible venie for The National, but it was actually amazing. Don't be put off by a bigger venue, especially if it's still indoors.

Some step up from when I first seen them in Workmans. Their gig in Olympia was fantastic. I reckon they can make the 3Arena work.

That's the problem still with Dublin, no mid sized indoor venues other than Vicar Street. The Olympia is an appalling venue, bouncers constantly telling punters to move no matter where they're standing.

There's nowhere really for Royal Blood to go other than the 3 Arena and they should attract a great crowd.

I seen them supporting the Foo Fighters in the Milton Keynes bowl, they are more than comfortable on the big stage. I'll be seeing them twice this year so far, Slane and NOS Alive in Portugal and cant wait for it.

Lots of venues the size of vicar st (Bord Gais, Helix and Olympia are similar), the problem is venues between that size (1.5-2k) and 3 arena size (14k).

At The Drive In supporting??????? Insane but probably will go just to see them, Royal Blood shall be a bonus.

Gunslinger92

Do we reckon this will sell out?

It certainly is an interesting choice of special guests. "Send transmission from the 1-armed scissor, cut away, cut away!"

It be close I reckon, they are a great live act and one of the bigger names on the Rock/Indie scene of the last few years. Have to disagree with some who said their new material is average, think Lights Out and I Only Lie When I Love You are fantastic singles so far. Throw in At The Drive In supporting them, I'd be surprised if it isn't sold out by the time of the gig.

If anybody is really into them then Warner are selling a signed vinyl for 23.99

I always keep an eye out on this site, they have some cracking signed cd's, for the same price as you'd buy instore, at the moment they have bands such as Weezer, Stereophonics, All time low

This is going to be incredible. There is a serious danger of At the Drive-In blowing them off the stage and to be honest I wouldn't expect anything less from them after last year's show in Vicar St.

Queens of the Stone Age on Friday and this on Sunday? What a weekend it'll be! Bring it on!

(For me) RB are the only one of the new rock bands that even get close to the legends in terms of groove, tone and sound.

Kings of Leon, Killers, meh.

RocketRaccoon

Got tickets for this for fathers day, I'm really looking forward to it after hearing the new album, some really good tracks on it.

I saw RB in the academy a few years ago so it'll be interesting to see how they sound in a much bigger venue.

Mrs Shuttleworth

Bought a ticket this morning and only standing available (not complaining as have a serious crush on frontman Mike Kerr ) so unless TB are up to some tricks could all seated be gone??

Just saw that RB are kicking off the season at Ibiza Rocks on Tuesday night - great venue if you haven't been - 1,500 capacity, searing heat and in front of a swimming pool - managed a sneaky grope of Ricky Wilson last year as he ran down the front of the stage :cool:

I'm sure he appreciated it. If the tables were turned, they women folk would be out with pitchforks.

Just got my tickets.

Saw them at Slane, they were good.

At The Drive In are an awesome band too which is another reason to go, check out their album Relationship Of Command, one of those albums you can play through and not skip a song.

Im pretty much going for atdi. Nothing against royal blood, I've gone to see them many times, but at the drive in are a different animal altogether

Mrs Shuttleworth

Are my eyes deceiving me or are there two support acts Sunday?

Looking forward to this. Hope the sound quality is good.

Even if its not, Mike is very easy on the eye
