    Anyone going? I've seen them a few times and they're always great but I think 3Arena is too big for them. I don't think they sold it out last time they headlined it and opened there for Paramore recently (wish I'd gone to that) so the numbers can't be that big.

    I'll be there. The upper seats will be curtained off but I still think it will be busy enough, Belfast a smaller venue but still sold out. Packed setlists for Belfast and Birmingham, looking forward to it.

    What time are we expecting them on stage? They played 20 plus songs last night so it might be early enough.

    Yeah going to this one.
    Seen them last time they were here and it was brilliant so I’m really looking forward to this.
    Have they a support act?

    They have some back catalogue. Been looking to see them for the past 20 years and never have. Reckon this is the best time.

    Although would have loved the original drummer.

    Jeez, what a great band. This is what I wish radiohead were.

    And what a drummer. I have had to eat my hat

    Thought they were fantastic. Strange seeing them in 3Arena, especially with a setup clearly for smaller venues.

    They filled the space with their sound brilliantly and it was a great set.

    I will say, I was a tad disappointed not to hear Little Thoughts as it was being used in the radio ads promoting the gig. Wrongly assumed we were going to get a rare play of it.

    Two More Years though…nice!

    Really enjoyed that. If you didn't have photosensitive epilepsy before tonight they did their best to induce it with the light show. Great mix of songs. Very little merch available and what there was was fairly basic.

    I quite like the point with that smaller setup

    longest encore I've ever seen.

    Great gig, delighted it was in the 3arena, outdoors would have lost something for me,
