presumably there'll be an official announcement soon.

1 night at the 3Arena probably?

dmm82

Oh sweet. Can't wait to see them again

Ferris_Bueller

Nice one. James Murphy said at EP that they would be back in Ireland in 2017 so was hoping we would get them in the 3Arena. Just hope it isn't on a week night like so many gigs are.

I'm going to a gig there in December as well. Does it make sense to still stay somewhere centrally if the gig is there? It's on a weekend night so we'll stay over and go out after the gig. Sorry to slightly derail the thread.

Will we get one night in the 3Arena or a few dates between Dub-Belfast-Cork?

Happy to help. Ally Pally is about a ten min bus ride from Finsbury Park tube which goes central. It's pretty well connected so whatever works best for your I guess. Perhaps stay near Kings X as plenty of budget hotels around there!? Let me know if you need more help!

Do people think there's a chance they might play EP again?

Was thinking that myself when I saw no Irish date, they'll have to arrive a week early but hasn't James been at every EP in recent years in some form or another?

ghostdancer

there is almost zero chance they'll play.
and about the same chance that Despacio will be there either.

James or Al might do a DJ set I suppose.

Ferris_Bueller

Surely they are coming to Ireland on this tour after saying last year that they would be back in 2017. Even though EP seems to fit the bill schedule wise (and considering EP are announcing new acts on Friday), surely there is no chance, has the same headliner ever played two years in a row?

scruff monkey

It would be a bit lazy to have them again this year at EP but is there any other festival that Murphy seems to be at every year without fail in some form or other?

It's like the annual migration of the lesser bearded sonic warbler.

dia squish

Seems like a second date has been added in London. Would love to know if they're playing here! Or just try and get tickets for somewhere else.

homerun_homer

I'll wager that they play here around November or start of December.

MadYaker

They'll definitely do at least one night in the 3 arena, hopefully 2 nights. Tickets could be tough to get if it's just 1 night, they went down very well at EP last year.

Furious-Red

I really hope they dont announce for a few weeks :pac::pac::pac: So broke after my holidays and already got tickets for QOTSA and still need to grab Royal Blood and Rise Against tickets

Doubt it. They are back in the States for gigs from 17th October right through until 23rd December, so id say it would need to be end of September.

Is this looking less likely by the day? :ermm:

OhHiMark

I don't know why people are assuming something will be announced. They've announced the European tour, they're not playing here. Why would they hold back on announcing just the Irish gig?

dmm82

I really can't see them doing a european tour and not coming here. James himself said it at EP last year that they'd be back this year. I'll be devastated if they don't.

Does anyone think there's any chance they could be announced again for EP?

I'm still hoping but I'm losing faith as it gets closer

James Murphy was on Annie Mac's show last night.

I only heard a snippet but the full interview is here and no doubt she asked him about tour plans.

Why wouldn't they announce it at the same time as the other gigs? I was looking forward to them coming more than any other gig I'd potentially see this year, but saying "I'll see you next year" while on a high at the end of a gig isn't a legally binding contract.

Wednesday 27th, Thursday 28th & Friday 29th olympia September 2017.

Yes!!!!! Three nights in the olympia!! Absolutely delighted here

sally cinnamon89

****ING YES

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Unbelievable! Gonna be impossible to get tickets, any sign of a presale?

s8n

Will there be a presale ?

Wooderson

These tickets will be like hen's teeth. Crossing fingers for Spotify presale.

Nailz

Saw them in the TriPod back in late 2010 (after the postponement of an earlier date due to the Icelandic ashcloud), it was an excellent gig! Will definitely try and work something out in terms of tickets for this.

Mrs Shuttleworth

Wondering why three Olympia nights instead of one 3Arena?

3 in the Olympia is 1620 tickets x 3, which is 4,860, that's a long way off a night in the 3, which is 14,500.

They wouldn't sell out a full 3arena and tbh the atmosphere would be crap. A few nights in the Olympia is ideal.

I picked up my tickets to see them in Copenhagen last week. Typical eh?

Their EP performance in 2016 was something special and will live long with me.

The aim is to get tix to the Friday night here.

Furious-Red

Im gonna im for thursday

Father Hernandez

Fantastic news to wake up to on a Monday morning.

As many posted above me, wonder if there will be a presale, how would a Spotify presale work?

Olympia atmosphere will be class, top venue

on a plane to spain from 7am on friday morning... disaster. Looking for one/two tickets for the Wednesday. Any presale possibilities?

I posted on the Olympia theatre's facebook page and they said they haven't heard anything about a presale

Those looking to buy LCD Soundsystem tickets this Friday, please check out ticket conditions below....

Ticket limit: Maximum 4 per person / transaction. Please note the name of the lead attendee will be printed on each ticket.
If you are booking more than one ticket your guests must arrive at the concert at the same time as you. The lead attendee will be asked to present the credit card used for booking to gain entry into the venue. Failure to adhere the terms and conditions may result in the customer's order being cancelled. There are no exceptions to this rule.

ifconfig

Can gift cards (or e-gift cards) be used to purchase one of these tickets ?
The standing tickets are 54.50Euro , any word on other ticket prices ?
Thinking of gifting my son a ticket as he is a fan.

(obviously with intention that he queues to use the gift card on Friday along with other credit card purchasers..
so, in short - are gift cards allowed as method of payment. I've never used them before....)

Incredible gig. Trying to explain it to people what it was like never works, had to be there.

Presale? Heh. I remember buying my tickets a few days before the gig. And even then it was easy to walk right up to the stage with your pint in hand. Good times.

Ok, so I am generally one to follow the rules... and I was very vigilant at the Radiohead concert, but not one person was asked to show their credit card in the queue that I was in. I had friends using other entrances and none of them were asked either. Tickets were still selling on Seatwave and on other sites for 3 times the price... My point is, this rule is not really a solution to the whole ticket touting and Seatwave controversy!

Having said that, I really hope I manage to get tickets! Can't wait to see LCD

It's a lot more likely that they'll enforce it in a smaller venue though.

Isn't it a bit odd that this isn't up on ticketmaster yet?

The guy behind me was checked walking in to Radiohead, he just said his brother-in-law bought a ticket & couldn't make it. That may well be true. It has to be enforced though. I'd be delighted if they went zero tolerance on these big gigs

Olympia didn't enforce it for Paramore, despite warnings
