i saw them on both of those occasions and the vicar street show will live long in the memory. Minimal chat and just tore threw the set. Unreal show and will be hoping for the same again in November

sumsar

Had to sell my tickets two years go or whenever they were here last as it was on the same night as one of my first college classes (evening course)...

It's a college night again this year but I'll be damned if I miss it again, always regretted selling the tickets.

Can't wait.

Easy Rod

2 tickets in the bag.

Did anyone buy the album yet? I bought the vinyl and thought I'd get a digital download too but didn't get an email?

Absolute beast of an album, I know I'm excited about the fact there's a new album but it genuinely is brilliant.

Today has been quite a day for me.. randomly checking my emails and see an alert about the concert, excitement about that to then finding out there is also a new album, to getting goosebumps towards the end of the album.. think I'm gonna be on quite a high for the day.

Ps people on reddit were saying they received emails 24 hours after they bought the vinyl with a download link

rizzee

Anyone get circles tickets instead of standing? Trying to decide whether to chance waiting around for standing or just get the circle

sumsar

Rizzee I got circles tickets instead of standing..

By the way, i thought standing was shown as available when i was purchasing.. I know I had to change from standing to circle at least..

Thanks... I ended up going with Circle just to have the tickets, row H right in the middle so happy with that, view-wise, hopefully!!

Haven't been to Olympia in years and last time t was standing so i hope seats are OK.

Lucky you, got F to the left, kept trying a few times to try get somewhere more central but it was giving me either left or right ha. Ah well, I'll take it.

I've had seating In the olympia a few times, it's grand.

Duff

New album is superb. If this gig is half as good as their last in Vicar Street I'm happy.

bennyl10

Picked up tickets there, sitting but they're been on the bucket list for years so very excited..

That new album is stunning too!

Wrongway1985

Unsavory stories concerning their frontman circulating about.

Not good stories at all..

Doubt they’ll be touring tbh..
Not that that’s the important bit but still

Wrongway1985

Only accusations of course but as we've seen from Hollywood recently will likely dent public perception without conviction.

rizzee

Any statements released?

Easy Rod

This is a pretty tough one to take but I believe the stories.

Can't in good conscience go to the gig anymore so I'm going to sell my tickets.

Furious-Red

Whats going on ? Didnt hear anything about whats going with the accusations

Arghus

What is the substance to these allegations. Is there evidence or just someone saying stuff?

You can't hang a man on that alone, surely?

A former guitar tech for them (And also Sum 41,GnR etc) Brian Diaz posted on Facebook bout recent goings on how bout Jesse Lacey? to which a female responded that he had solicitated nudes etc when she was 15.

Guy obviously either had some insider knowledge given his position or there is a dislike stemming from somewhere.Either way the allegations posted by the woman are pretty damning.

One she describes him having her watch him jerk off over Skype but however odd that is people have pointed out Skype wasn't a thing in the timeline suggested as in she couldn't be deemed a minor when it was but perhaps this bears no relevance if such goings on preceeded at the age given.

There hasn't been a statement from the band yet but a support act in UK run have pulled themselves from their shows.

That_Guy

From the official Facebook page.

In an effort to address recent events and the public conversation currently happening, I feel it is important to make a clear and personal statement.

The actions of my past have caused pain and harm to a number of people, and I want to say that I am absolutely sorry. I do not stand in defense of myself nor do I forgive myself. I was selfish, narcissistic, and insensitive in my past, and there are a number of people who have had to shoulder the burden of my failures. I apologize for the hurt I have caused, and hope to be able to take the correct actions to earn forgiveness and trust.

Early on in my life, I developed a dependent and addictive relationship with sex. I was scared of it, ashamed, and unwilling or unable to admit it, and so it grew into a consistent and terrible problem. Years ago, after admitting my habits and cheating to my then soon to be wife, I began to approach my problem in a serious way. I entered professional treatment, both in group therapy and individual counseling, and revealed the realities of what a terrible place I had gotten to in my life, and what a terrible impact my actions had on people.

Lust, sex, love, and arousal were coping tools for me, and I returned to them repeatedly. I detached my own feelings and emotions from most of my sexual interactions. I hid, or lied about my behavior to escape reproach. I was a habitual cheater. I have been unfaithful in many, if not most of my relationships, including the relationship with my wife, who has with all of her might, patience, and grace, tried to hold our marriage together, despite having to endure the pain of the revelations of my past. It is heart wrenching that the most important changes in my life have come at the expense of others.

I am sorry for how I have hurt people, mistreated them, lied, and cheated. I am sorry for ignoring the way in which my position, status, and power as a member of a band affected the way people viewed me or their approach to their interactions with me. And I am sorry for how often I have not afforded women the respect, support, or honesty that they deserved, and which is their right. I believe in the equality and autonomy of all, but in my life I have been more of a detriment to these ideals than an advocate.

I am working to shed all my narcissism and my self obsession, and to be better. In sobriety I have changed my life and my mind in real and important ways. I have also revealed the truth of my behaviors to myself and to others. I do not have words to express the patience and help my wife has offered me. I love my family with an intensity and realness that I have never felt before, and as a husband and a father I have been granted the opportunity to wake up each day with the intent to serve my family and the people around me, and to feel, for the first time that I have purpose.

The fact remains that none of us get to put a wall up between who we are and who we were. I need to earn forgiveness. Concepts like repentance, compassion, and love, are made real through actions, and it’s through my actions that I need to prove change. I hope I can show humility, and that the pain I have caused people can heal. I am not above reproach, and no one should be.

Jesse Lacey

To not even address the situation is an absolute disgrace. Reads as a long "woe is me" exercise.

Doubt they'll be touring at this stage.

rizzee

Keeping an eye on the Facebook event page, no update yet.

Euphoria Intensifies

Can't see this going ahead. There'll be too much scrutiny on Jesse and there's lots more allegations swirling around now than just the one that started this.

Even if it goes ahead I'd say it'll be a bad atmosphere. Lots of people (including myself) are either trying to sell tix or just not bothering going altogether. And the band themselves are hardly going to be in the humour to play.

Doubt it will go ahead, but am yet to see any further allegations.. seemingly just the Skype one as of yet..

If it goes ahead it’ll be a really strange atmosphere though..

cant see it at all

Euphoria Intensifies

Kevin Device (touring member + the support act for Dublin gig) just tweeted that he's pulled out of the gigs so I'd say that's that tbh.

rizzee

I agree with the atmosphere being bad if it does go ahead. I wouldn't want to sell my ticket to anyone knowing there's a huge chance of it being cancelled. Would rather a refund and be on my way.

The tweet half makes it sound like that BN are planning on still touring..

Conorregan88

After missing them before, knowing that this is (probably) their last tour, and loving Science Fiction, I was excited about this one. All that changed, of course, after the initial allegation, and was hammered home by the nature of the apology. Not acknowledging the victim directly, or the fact she was 15, is awful form. I'll be selling my ticket/seeking a refund regardless, but they should cancel this gig out of respect for the victim, if nothing else.

Shouldn’t go ahead though!

Should have said if it's cancelled, I'll get a refund. Otherwise, will sell it on! My bad for not being clear.

A snippet of what's out there, Statement is owning up anyways Kevin Spaceyesque, blaming an addiction rather than face up to the fact that the age of the girl it's inexcusable no matter how many times he cheated on his wife that's irrelevant these women should have been of age!!

Irish_rat

Sickening stuff, surely the death knell of the band.

billybonkers

Their reddit page is mental, so many people supporting him and stating it was ages ago, he is a changed person etc. Some people are crazy! Can't imagine the show will go ahead, I'd feel super weird if I was one of the ban members up on stage with him.

Euphoria Intensifies

Gigs are "postponed", refunds available.

Will give ticketmaster a shout later. Nothing online about refunds yet? Or is it automatic?

maximoose

Wow, had just picked up tix off adverts last week and couldn't wait.

End of the band surely

Automatic if you bought online or by phone, if bought at an outlet bring them back and refund is at POS

Yeah bought online, ill sit back and wait. cheers.

Duff

Was so hyped for this having loved Science Fiction, and while what Jesse did is horrific and inexcusable, I don't think it will affect the connection I had with the band's music and the times it helped me through. What a horrible way for my once favourite band to burn out.

seachto7

They were due to break up anyway? But what a way to go....

First album and the new one were/are decent too. Pity...

I received the email and now I'm confused more so... I can't imagine there will be a new show scheduled... do we just wait it out or do we need to do anything do you think?
