    New song 'Ghosts Again'

    Pretty catchy

    Raging this completely slipped under my radar, never missed a DM gig in Ireland, grrrrrrr



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,821 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    You'll definitely pick up a ticket nearer the time

    Young Fathers named as the support act for the Dublin show



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,189 ✭✭✭Stillill42


    If I had designed this day myself, I couldn't have done a better job. Beautiful venue, amazing support, a bit of sun now and we're all set.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,821 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Don't listen to much of today's music and don't know who 'Young Fathers' are but they do sound good

    Enjoyed Malahide Castle last year for The Killers (hard to believe its coming up too a year since that) and looking forward too going again in June for Depeche Mode and Blur



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,317 ✭✭✭✭Hurrache


    Young Fathers are great, usually do a really good show. They had taken a break for a couple of years and came back with a new album and tour a few months ago, played the Olympia a few weeks ago.



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 19,630 Mod ✭✭✭✭slave1


    Been looking on TM and Toutless for a ticket for myself and the young one, if anyone has a pair to spare please feel free to PM me, tks



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 161 ✭✭honeyjo


    I couldn't get tickets either :( If anyone can't make it I'd love a ticket

    Depeche Mode are an absolute bucket list for my missus so I bought tickets for her. I don't know much bar the well known tunes, so have created a spotify playlist based on their setlist for the tour, so going to get myself well acquainted by June. I won't share it, as I know many won't want to know!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,268 ✭✭✭✭Goldengirl


    Do.. We're all DM fans here.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,324 ✭✭✭Le Bruise


    Here you go!

    Tunes tickling the fancy in particular so far:

    It's No Good

    Everything Counts

    Precious

    Ghosts Again

    Never Let Me Down Again (Last of Us brought me onto this one).


    Really looking forward to the gig!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,189 ✭✭✭Stillill42


    I can't stop playing the singles '81 to '85

    SUCH a nostalgia rush!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,268 ✭✭✭✭Goldengirl


    Thank you very much. . Going to enjoy listening to that. My favourites are Personal Jesus and Everything Counts.


    Half the fun of these concerts, for me anyway, is the anticipation, listening to the music again, revisiting old favourites and memories.

    Am on a very retro 80s path this year 😁

    Enjoy!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,195 ✭✭✭samo


    More standing tickets on Ticketmaster now available. Thought I’d missed this so delighted!

    be my first time seeing the band live in June, gold circle ticket cant wait

    Would love 'Shake The Disease' and 'Strangelove' but doesnt look good looking at setlists from the tour



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,820 ✭✭✭delbertgrady


    Shake the Disease was one that Martin would sometimes do in his "solo" slot, which usually rotated songs, but it's unlikely now.

    2025 Gigs and Events: Stuart Murdoch, Lyle Lovett, Camera Obscura, The Corrs/Imelda May/Natalie Imbruglia, Olivia Rodrigo, Iron Maiden, Dua Lipa, Lana Del Rey, Weezer, The Doobie Brothers, Billie Eilish (x2), Oasis, Sharon Van Etten, The Human League, Deacon Blue



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,504 ✭✭✭Dreamweapon


    Just Mustard added as extra support act.

    These are the words they're as old as the hills, cooked on a diet of mushrooms and pills.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,189 ✭✭✭Stillill42


    Ah great. First time I saw them was supporting the Cure, also in Malahide. Brilliant addition. Mind you, they may not be for the casual pints-in-the-sun-just-cant-get-enough punter.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 464 ✭✭Ben Done


    They had a nice wee crowd, of whom I'd say many hadn't heard them before and became aficionados, up in the top quarter of the field for their set.

    We were well impressed.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,213 ✭✭✭SuperBowserWorld


    Thanks! Just got 2 tickets.

    Hopefully weather will be ok or better than ok.

    Saw them in the 2000s in the point/3 arena/whatever it was called then, and they were brilliant live.

    I am not sure if it's fate or what but that's Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk and New Order playing here this year.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 225 ✭✭Gillman1998


    I've just returned from seeing DM in Amsterdam - excellent show, even by their standards. Sound was exceptional. It is going to sound amazing on a sunny evening in Malahide.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 324 ✭✭spindex


    What time is the curfew for this ? And realistically how long would it take to get back into the city if I was at the very back and ready to run after just can't get enough?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,820 ✭✭✭delbertgrady


    If you run after Just Can't Get Enough, you'll be ahead of the posse, as that's not their last song, so you won't have crowds to contend with.

    It'll take several minutes to get out of the Demesne and out on the street and another couple of minutes to get to the DART station.

    If you get a DART immediately, the trip to the city is 25 minutes, so if the cards fell very luckily, you could potentially get from the venue to Tara Street in 35 to 40 minutes. But that would be the very best case scenario, getting on a DART as soon as you get to the station.

    If you leave early, I'd say at least an hour, allowing for everything.

    Due to Travelmaster not running a bus for this concert (and Blur also) like they did for The Killers last year I have to get the usual return Bus/Train up and get to/from the venue through Marathon Coaches

    Typical my favourite DM tune 'Personal Jesus' is the last song on the set and I'd be annoyed at myself for missing it but then I don't want to be stuck up in Dublin for the night



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19 XxCigiXx


    Hi all,


    Really looking forward to this! I have a question about the start time, it says 5pm, seems very early is that just gates opening or anyone have an estimated time the band would actually start? Travelling to Dublin after work, hoping to make it on time 🙈



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,821 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Going by last year

    5pm is Gates with first band on around 6pm

    Dont take it as gospel

    Also cashless venue



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,813 ✭✭✭clintondaly


    Hi,

    Travelling up by car from the Midwest for this,not sure whether to book the parking on site or park near a dart station and go from one of the dart stations.

    Anyone got any suggestions as to what may be best ?



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 19,630 Mod ✭✭✭✭slave1


    I got my Gold tickets at the weekend, back on sale at Ticketmaster.

    I also couldn't be arsed dealing with parking so just went for on site parking via Marathon, hopefully easy to get into and get home from



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 342 ✭✭Kilteragh



    It was a nightmare last year. We came from the Limerick to see the Killers. Got off work an hour early and thought we would get there in plenty of time. Spent 2 hours doing the last 2KM to the entrance. Even when we got there nobody was checking for the Marathon ticket. Everyone was just waved in. Took another 90 minutes to get out afterwards as the later you get in the further away you are parked from the exit.

    Taking the day off this year and we're going to get up early and try to get in as close to the opening time as possible so that we can hopefully get away easily during the last song.

    Park elsewhere on the dart line and use that. It will save you endless hassle



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41 reflekting


    The parking on site was a disaster last year, I'd probably go with the Dart.



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 19,630 Mod ✭✭✭✭slave1


    They are available right now on Ticketmaster



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,221 ✭✭✭reubenreuben


    What time do you reckon this gig will be finished, 10pm or later? Hoping to get train back to dundalk.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,465 ✭✭✭Wrongway1985


    Wasn't keen on that rendition myself hoping for 'Waiting for the Night' in that slot, they've been playing 'Condemnation' too won't play both.

    They'd teased a revisit of some stuff before they kicked off and even mentioning 'Sun and the Rainfall' one of my fave DM songs but alas no sign so far. Dublin date actually didn't line up well for me so actually seeing in Bern a few days before this gig.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,433 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    Just tried downloading tickets to my phone wallet for this. First time I’ve seen one of these dynamic bar codes - presume it’s not possible? Can’t see the option anyway. Could be some fun had with thousands trying to access internet at same time.


    On the driving to/from venue question my own opinion would be don’t if you’re heading back towards the city. Malahide Road can be a pain when there’s no gig on.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,189 ✭✭✭Stillill42


    Not sure what you mean? Option defo there to add to your phone wallet, dynamic bar code notwithstanding. Mine are in my Google wallet.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,433 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    Genuinely not seeing the download option. Will try again closer to date - might be a bug.


    Thanks for response



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,189 ✭✭✭Stillill42


    Strange one. Would certainly give them a shout if that persists.

    The TM app on S21 is a bit hit and miss and won't let me sign in

    Browser version working fine



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,268 ✭✭✭✭Goldengirl


    So looking forward to New Order as well as DM.

    Haven't seen DM since the 3 Arena concert.

    New Order at Trinity in 2019 were really excellent



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,821 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Bus home is at 00.05 on the Georges Quay

    Getting Marathon Coaches to and from the gig, Would i be better off walking towards the back before the start of the encore and exit straight away ?

    Got Travelmaster up last year so not as much of a head wreck transport wise compared to this year, Hotel stay not an option sadly



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,033 ✭✭✭Fanirish


    Yeah, that’s why I do there to grab the dart



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,821 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Roll on this night 2 weeks



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,213 ✭✭✭SuperBowserWorld


    Taking a day off work for this and parking at the site carpark. Going to drive up early and wait until the traffic dies down when it's over. Hopefully the weather keeps up. Hmmm just reading other people's experiences of this. FFS.

    Venue info



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,268 ✭✭✭✭Goldengirl


    If you don't mind walking a bit its much easier to park on one of the roads going into the village.

    Thats what we did the last few times and just took our time wandering in and back out again with everybody coming from and to the dart.

    Walking out along a lovely treelined path with fairy lights and hundreds of happy fans is wayy better than sitting in a car stuck waiting to get out of the venue.

    Especially if the weather is good. 🤞



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,213 ✭✭✭SuperBowserWorld


    👍

    Hmmm, have the car park ticket paid for. Will get up in plenty of time to get in hopefully, not so worried about getting out. I can wait.

    Walking !

    Try walking in my shoes

    😁



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,950 ✭✭✭✭fits


    I’m going too yay!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,213 ✭✭✭SuperBowserWorld


    It's just a question of time now. 😁
