    I have seen them twice now, Malahide last year, which was excellent and 3arena years ago, also excellent. Just hope they still have some energy left after all the touring this past year..😁

    Saw some peoples videos in my tiktok feed and they looked good. Lots of comments from people at the gigs who said they were great. Obviously that's not a guarantee they'll be great, good to see

    I haven’t been to 3 Arena in an awfully long time. Anyone know stage times and recommend a good time to arrive.

    That Rent Allowance from the revenue was burning a whole in my pocket so I treated myself to a re-sale ticket. I've never seen them live but I'm fairly impressed with recent videos I've seen. Pretty steep price wise but they do have a bar themed after them in Estonia so you expect to pay over the odds.

    Never had a standing ticket at 3 Arena before. How comfortable/uncomfortable is it? Is there pushing/shoving etc? I won't be the youngest person at the gig and I really do like a seat....but I like being up close at the stage also 😀

    Depends entirely on the gig! It's a big enough venue that you can have a bit of a walk around and see where's most comfortable.

    It's perfect. Never really have any issues. And can move if you do. Famous last words 😁

    There was a few **** at Malahide and people recording everything on their phones. Avoid being near them.

    Also, it's Depeche Mode. You won't actually probably be the oldest person there.

    If may be very loud depending where you are. Tissue paper or ear plugs if you want to take a break from the noise and protect your hearing. I bring some foam ear plugs in case.

    In Malahide the warm up act was ridiculously stupidly loud. But DM was perfect. Not too loud and not too quiet. 😁

    I was really worried when I heard the warm up act. Crazy loud.

    To secure a place near the front you would need to go to front of stage by 8pm and don’t budge

    Is it just Lager and Guinness at the 3Arena these days or any chance of some sort of ale? Also whats the damage? 8 euro or did some up and coming executive go up to a microphone at the kick off meeting for 2024 and just say "9 Euro pints" and sit down to thunderous applause?

    Yeah ❤️. Brilliant and they looked as if they enjoyed it just as much as us which is saying something!

    Loved that the catwalk came so far into the crowd. They do that at open air stadia but at a smaller venue it meant everybody got up close.

    Really nice.

    Phenomenal indeed!!

    Last time in Malahide I was far from the stage. This time I went early and managed to be fairly close to the end of the catwalk, so the experience was different!!

    Loved "Walking in my shoes" - great song. They really are great performers.

    I last saw Depeche Mode in the SFX in 1985 - 39 years ago! Dave Gahan, Martin Gore and I are still going strong 😊

    What a party, great to hear Black Celebration and Music for the Masses feature, my fav live track still Everything Counts though, last few rocked the house. Caught the two black mini cabs taking them away, Bon voyage

    Did anyone think the sound was better in malahide? We were over on far right on lower seating tier so that may be reason. Still a brilliant gig though. Had a great view of the antics.

    Was a great concert. Great setlist and performance. They make it look easy. They sang brilliantly. Sound was perfect for me. Not too loud and crystal clear.

    Great show last night, band were really tight.

    One of the best performances of 5 Ive seen.

    Gahan is one of the greatest frontmen EVER.

    Left the Kaleidoscope bar @ 830 on the dot and managed to get 20 ft from the stage.

    Hope to catch them again before the end of this tour
