Just got 2 standing tickets

Managed to get an upper circle ticket. From the NME interview:

Asked if he’ll be playing Oasis songs, Gallagher replied: “Straight away. Some at the beginning, some in the middle and some at the end.”

Just bagged 2. Worth trying again

Missed it by a hair, does anyone know someone selling two tickets?

Just about got a pair earlier. The beautiful bastard ambushed us with that one. Could only get seating tickets so if there's anyone that has standing and wants to swap (doubtful) then let me know!

Was on the ball this morning, saw someone in LG's twitter replies with a screenshot of the Ticketmaster site with the on sale at 9 am info. Went to the page and just kept refreshing. Picked up 2 standing at 9:01, defo owe that fella a pint. Preview of the new tune is out as well, sounds good for a 30 second clip anyway.

Tickets selling for 180 quid on viagogo ffs, a touts dream.

Savman

Love LG but his voice doesn't hold up well these days and Dublin being the third gig that week hopefully it's not on the way out by then.

Oasis1974

Liam must have faith in his voice. With these gigs and a solo album on the way he'll need it. When it's bad it's​ boarding on cringe.

Elite IRL

Touting will always be a problem so long as Artists use Ticketmaster, sure they own what's basically a Touting site.

In fairness to Liam his voice was sounding in good condition when I heard him last in the Olympia for Beady Eye. I think he has learnt to take better care of it, he's just more healthy in general these days out jogging and all. Saw an article where he also accepted that there's just certain songs that he can't sing anymore like I Hope, I Think, I Know which is a shame but I'd rather hear his voice at its best on other songs than him ruining it to hear certain ones. Preview sounds good, very bluesy but modern.

andrew1977

Is it likely more tickets might come available for this?I am guessing not considering the appeal of Liam Gallagher and the relatively small venue?
I hope to pick up 1 ticket somewhere for the show, normally a few single tickets appear for gigs in the days before,

I also missed out on tickets for this. Would love to go, will probably end up paying over the odds for the tickets now.
Cant understant the small venue. He'd easily sell out the 3 arena if he did half a setlist of oasis tunes,

Hopefully that will be later in the year.

The struggled to sell out the Olympia 2nd night as Beady Eye. Admittedly they only had 2 Oasis songs in the set but that's less than 4000 tickets over the 2 nights.

From a few of the videos of last night his voice sounded really good but I'm not sure he can sustain that over a tour.

Don't go forking out a load of cash on this one, I'm sure Liam will be back in no time to play the 3 Arena later in the year, exactly like Noel done when he first went solo.

However judging by the youtube clips of the new songs and the state of Liam's voice these days I reckon tickets for the 3 Arena will be significantly easier to get! Maybe so much so that he will have to stick to festivals and smaller venues.

Great that he is back in Music and I hope all goes well for him.


First Single; Wall Of Glass

His new single is way better than anything Beady Eye put out (imo). As in it's good enough to make me actually want to see him do a live gig.

My only small gripe is that he doesn't write all his own material for his new album. But he admits himself in this interview below that it would take him too long to do a full album by himself. Which is understandable really as he basically relied on Noel, and then Gem and Andy to create most of the music he has sung to for the last few decades.

He seems very chilled. I hope he's off all the drugs, smoking and keeps his drinking and touring manageable. With that I can see him carve out a nice little solo career for himself. He'll never be the same musician Noel was/is, but from that new single he seems to have a big amount to offer in his own right.

*His voice sounded spot on for his Manchester gig.

I really like the new song!

His voice was patchy I thought for the Manchester gig, some good points, some not so good but I will reserve full judgement for when I see him or live or see pro shot quality recording. Promising stuff though!

To be honest I was delighted when I heard that. For the first time he has some bona fide songwriters working with him (other than Little James I don't think Noel contributed much to Liams Oasis stuff).

Andy Bell and Gem Archer have had their moments but they are nowhere good enough to make up for Liams limitations. The only LG song I can think of that I wouldn't have replaced with a Noel written song was I'm Outta Time on DOYS.

New single sounds decent enough on first listen. I watched a few of the live vids. Great to hear Be Here Now live after all these years!!!

don corleone

Still haven't decided on taking the plunge for over priced tickets yet. Does anyone know what time he came on stage for the Manchester gig? I was looking online and based on a page doing live updates on the night I think it was around 9.30pm. Would that be the expected time this Sat anyone know? Its only a 12 song setlist so cant imagine him being on much earlier than that.

ryaner777

Anyone know if there is a support act on saturday ?

He only played for an hour in Manchester so its a very short gig.

Honestly, I think Liam's singing at the "One love Manchester" gig is the best I've heard him in years

It sounds reallly close to how he sounds on record, really strong and big

Wish I had tickets for this gig

How much are tickets going for?

I was at Noels Olympia show as it was a once in a lifetime thing but I can see Liam being back at the Olympia if the album isn't a major improvement on anything he has done before.

The more I listen to Wall of Glass the less I'm into it actually. Bit meh

don corleone

I seen them online for 350e a pair at cheapest. Thats on Seatwave Ticketmaster's 'sister' company.
 Surprisingly havent seen many on donedeal etc even at over the odds prices. Id pay over the odds but wouldnt be paying the likes of that. I actually really like 'Wall of Glass'. Looking forward to hearing the rest of the album too. Id fully expect Liam to come back and maybe do the 3 arena. I just think the Olympia experience would be so much better in such a small setting.

Going to this on Saturday, looking forward to the parade of Pretty Green clothes and mod haircuts that'll be on display (the audience, not the band).

His vocals are about 50% - 60% there I reckon, but at least 100% better than the end of the Oasis period, when he was at his worst. He still can't sing like he used to (compare the Manchester acoustic Live Forever, with the 1994 MTV Most Wanted one) but he can give it a go and is still a great front man.

The new single is great, has gone down very well, and the Manchester gig has spurred a lot of good will in LG's direction.

Looking forward to hearing the new tunes, but what a shame we have to wait till October for the album. If he's touring it sounds like it's ready, so why not get it out?

I have no problem with him working with songwriters - most modern artists do - if it improves the songs. Some of the Beady Eye stuff was very trad rock and the songs weren't great. While Andy Bell can write a great Ride song, when he tries to Ride an Oasis song he just doesn't get there.

Looks like I will be going to this also on Saturday with my teenage son on unreserved seating tickets.

I see doors open at 7,i assume be in the queue well before 7 for when the doors open ?
Any tips on where to take a good seat in the Olympia ?

Thanks a lot

these are the upper circle (aka gods) so you will be queuing down the laneway, people might be queing out the front but that would be for standing tickets to get at the front.

You would be down the lane the guy is standing in https://www.google.ie/maps/@53.3441565,-6.2661578,3a,26.6y,338.46h,82.15t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s4KkETE6aod_8vUrZpXIVyA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

They usually have barriers up so I imagine the queue is somewhat organised

As close to the front of the seats as you can.

It'll be a short enough set so I'd say you'd have about 2 hours to fill between getting in and the gig starting. It's also been confirmed that there is no support act on this leg of the tour.

Thanks for the reply, i am guessing i should start queing up outside from 6 or so onwards ?
Would that be ok to get a good seat ? I am guessing there will be load of stragglers coming in late after being in the pub etc.

ryaner777

It's hard to say, there will be a lot of die hard fans at the gig. I'd say you'll be fairly close to the top of the side door queue at six. Just bring jackets with you to leave on the seats once you get them.

Shall be queuing before 6. Lucky enough to have gotten a seated ticket but want to make sure I get a good seat now!

eviltimeban

No support? Does that mean Liam will be on before 9pm?

ryaner777

It's possible but unlikely I's say. They've had a preshow DJ at the previous small gigs

andrew1977

What's the seating and view like in the upper circle unreserved? Cheers

TedR

No support band, support DJ Paul Gallagher. LG onstage 9 pm is the plan.

andrew1977

Where's the best pub/area pre gig to try locate a spare ticket? Looks like I have been let down badly and need to try secure 1 ticket between now and gig!
Seatwave etc extortion as usual, not many spares knocking about by the looks of it
Thanks for any pointers

There's an after party in the mercantile across the road so maybe try there. Usually a crowd in brogans pre gig

Best bet would be to stand outside the Olympia but I'd imagine you might have some competition

Better than it used to be, that's for sure. Used to be a huge cage like barrier (or felt like it as no matter where you sat you were forced to look through wire mesh given the angle) and bench hard seats....but now the portion of mesh is tiny in comparison to the old days and it has decent enough seats now too:






Make sure to get there early though as otherwise this could be the kind of view you end up with if you're seated anywhere neat the back:

I haven't sat upstairs at a rock gig for a long time (my tickets are in the circle), are people expected to stay in their seats or will people just be stood up anyway?

ooter

My tickets are unreserved upper circle but it says row 2, I don't suppose there's any realistic chance of me getting in to row 2 unless I turn up really early, is it just a free for all?

It's a free for all so probably best to show up early.

Well?

How was it?

Really enjoyed it, his voice is in good nick.
Mixture of oasis hits and his new material , which the crowd went quieter for as its only new and relatively unheard.
He came on at 9 and was gone at 10.05, coming back on to sign off with live forever.
Wall of glass sounds fantastic live .

He played for 1 hour 10 in total including his encore. If he comes back and plays the 3 arena he would want to stretch the show out another hour or so, not sure as yet where he will pull the hits from unless he bangs out more oasis hits .
For 32 euro or so to see that tonight, zero complaints from me.Great to see him back in action

Outlaw Pete

Would have liked to go but tickets were like gold dust..... heard some guy sold a pair of stall seats for €300 in Temple Bar earlier today.

Seen Beady Eye in the Olympia awhile back.... be interested to know if there was much of a difference energy wise between the gigs.

Wonder if he could be a late addition to Electric Picnic. Reading the week before so timing seems okay.

ooter

I'm going to gigs a long time and I honestly thought it was brilliant, started off with rock n roll star and what's the story and the place was on wheels. One of the new songs he played half way through was very good, easily the stand out tune on the album and the next single?
Wall of glass sounded great, slide away was unreal.

innuendo141

Was so impressed with his voice- stood up through the whole gig. New songs sound decent, Wall of Glass was brilliant altogether.
The Be Here Now tunes were the highlight for me.

All in all- a great night!
